Subject: Re: emergency advice on starved
cat needed
Thanks, I gave her a very small kitten litter
pan, but you are right, she still hurts when she gets into it (it has 3 inch
tall sides). I was thinking I needed something shallower, and you are right, I
DO have a 9x11 Pyrex baking pan that would be ideal! Thanks for reminding me!
She seems the most comfortable if she is on a
heating pad. I have one of those microwavable ones (with the soft gel inside),
but it gets cold after a couple of hours, and then I have to move her a little
to get it out and re-heat it. Does anyone know of a brand of electric
heating pad that does not get too hot, but just warm? It's been my experience
that most electric heating pads get too hot to lay on for extended periods,
and I'm not sure she CAN get up on her own if it gets too hot. Brenda, the
Sphynx rescue lady I help out even had a kitten DIE from being left on a
heating pad, so I'm being very cautious.

Hi,
To help her not to move very much and not to step very high you may
want to
try the following: For a "Litter Pan" that is easy to use take
apart a
carrier, using the bottom part put a large "Pyrex" pan filled
with litter
in it. The reason for this is using the bottom of the
carrier with cut down
on the litter being kicker all over the place. And
the reason for the
"Pyrex" pan is due to its weight it will not be
tipped over and also
it is so easy to disinfect.
