My two had dissolving ones - they actually only had one stitch each as my vet did a kinda keyhole surgery thing - was absolutely amazing!!! After about half an hour Misty had eaten her stitch and the wound didnt need re doing as the vet says he usually only puts the stitch in to keep the owners happy as such a small incision would heal without a stitch!!! Hopefully Elsa will have no problems with her stitch/wound as they dont really get bothered by the whole experience. I was amazed how my cats were just the same when they got home with no side effects!! |

Good point DM. My vets will use dissolvables if I ask & I always do with the ferals. |

Don't know if you remember Luke, when we first got Oliver he was evil, he would lash out with the claws and sink his teeth in to you and not let go....He really was a nasty kitten, I had him spayed as soon as he was big enough, and it has made a difference....He has become very loving now....Hope it works as well for Elsa... |

Violets stitch was dissolvable. Mau Mau was already done x |

Only just caught this Luke. I am so sorry you are in this situation. It is very sad but I too would be incredibly wary of a cat which attacked with a vengeance and without provocation. I hope the spaying works. If not I think you should mull over what the future may bring - for both of you. Your life may well change hugely over the next 10 - 12- 14 years; you will have to think whether it can seriously accomodate an unpredictable and potentially dangerous large cat. Sorry x |

Well....mom returned back from down the south today, we had a chat and have decided Elsa will be rehomed in due course, for the fact 1) No pet should be feared by their owner 2) Three of the four other pet occupants of this house were here before Elsa and its not fair that they have to suffer (clementine has started pulling her fur out-stress related maybe as elsa keeps picking on her?!?) and 3) It isnt fair for Elsa herself that she should lead a life she obviouslly isn't happy with. We will find her the best home possible where her new 'parents' understand her issues, and a home where she has no other housemates or children. I'm not too sure how to go about finding her a new home though...go through a rescue organisation? Private rehoming? I do, however, feel a right royal failiure-first kitten that i've brought up myself and she ends up like this! Also have vowed no more felines now-Clem can live her days out royalling it over the dogs, and i really couldnt go through this sorta heartache again. Thanks for all your advice and support  |

Sorry to hear this Luke, you have tried and its not working, maybe you are right and Elsa will do better as an only pet... |

That is a very sad but probably very wise decision. It cannot have been easy for you. I don't think you should beat yourself up - Elsa did not have the best of starts did she? Obviously she could not get away from it. And never say never ........... there are lots of kits and cats needing good homes. Maybe the right one will find you at some point in the future. Just let it happen. |

Thanks Both-maybe irrational but i rang her so called "breeder" *found the phone number last night* this morning and gave her a peice of my mind...told her that she was totally irresponsible and did she realise the hurt she caused people by unleashing these unhandled kittens on them-and how could she have let Elsa go to a new home knowing she was ill at the time. You want to know the response i got?!?! "Well....i've got some persian x bengal kittens for sale if you want to replace the one you're rehoming?!?!"  Needless to say i gave her a rather nice reply back and slammed the phone down on her! It is cold hearted, incosiderate, money making, LYING people like this that should never be allowed animals let alone to breed them! And she told us they were accidental litters...pffft! |
