Ah ! apologies as I was assuming that because AA stated the event was being filmed .. and she couldn't miss it that she was possibly going to be infront of the camera .. Regardless ..As I stated previously - I am more than willing to help Andrea in taking the kitten to a vets now, at 11pm, 12pm first thing tomorrow & tomorrow daytime, tomorrow evening and all of the remainder of the year for that matter should assistance be needed if the kitten's health and welfare is in question. I don't have pets .. or children .. so I have no idea how much pressure mum's are actually under.. I wish you well with your event.

HHHmmmm I wonder if you live in the compound that I used to live in...... If you need a hand with the kitty I maybe able to run it to the vet. Modern Vet clinic is very close to you. If it is you are lucky to be out of it! We are moving asap as the children as just dreadful! I am indeed worried about my own little ones not just Puss! They don't play anywhere near these children even if i'm there to watch them.

Without wishing to be pedantic, AA doesn't 'need to be filmed' at an event. She organised the whole group and is co-ordinating the inaugural event tomorrow. If the cat needed to get to the vet tonight, she'd have done everything she could to get it to the vet. Likewise, she'd have organised getting it to the vet tomorrow if need be. Asking on here was probably off-the-cuff to see if anyone was free to help out and had no help been forthcoming, she'd have called a friend. There's no need to be so judgmental, especially when AA is giving up a lot of her time to set up something to benefit many of us here. <em>edited by DubaiCat on 31/01/2011</em>

Andrea,I realise your upset and angry with what has happened to your family pet.Your first post indicated that the cat was scared out its wits and was unable to stand properly(wobbly).I am nobody and my pedestal doesnt even have a swivel yet ..but if you are really concerned about the health of your animal that was Stuck in a drain hole of a swimming pool..I am just surprised that nothing has been done this evening to see if the cat is injured or has swallowed water..and subsequently after your post about how angry and upset you are and how bad the kittens health seemed to be by your own admissions and then saying that you can't personally take it to the vets because you have an event that you need to be filmed at ... My concern is for the welfare of the kitten..if you are stuck and you want it to see a vet now then I am more than prepared to help out one struggling mother in dubai..

Think LivelyTrish is a vet nurse, so worth listening to? Will still come and take her if you think she needs it? Won't have car tomorrow, can someone else offer to take her tomorrow? Not a vet nurse, just a crazy cat lady of many many years experience. With a broomstick and a large dose of common sense.

Oh for goodness sake the cat is Ok if it wasn't Andrea would have taken it to the vets by now, she'll know in the morning if it needs to see anyone. It got a bit wet and frightened, i'm sure it will live to see another day. Andrea there is a vet that does home visits if you get worried, maybe some one could be HELPFUL and post the details. Just use your common sense, which it sounds as if you are anyway.

OK, AA, giving you 15 mins to phone a friend/vet/oddbins delivery service and then calling it a night on the computer. You can still avail the services of your own fairy godmother up until 10.30 if necessary. :) The dog has thrown up in my car often enough, your little kitten can bring it on. Hey, anyone want to buy a Volvo that smells like Pal and tuna? ;0) Thanks so much Sam, I need a fairy god mother...did you just offer? Hugs and a cuppa much needed right now :-(

Sam thanks, i've called the vets, i'll take her in tomorrow as soon as I possibly can. By the way the Soiree is actually a voluntary event i've organised to help out mums here who are struggling to cope so not just your common a garden coffee morning or P**s up. I do take having a pet these things seriously

If she ate.........she's probably ok, the wobbliness may well be stress or some jarring , just keep her warm calm and cuddled, tomorrow a vet can check her lungs etc, Cats are tougher than they look. You've all been through a very nasty experience, sending a cyberhug. Thanks, Livelytrish, it's been a **** evening not sure I deserved that rant :-(

phone a friend ! - How many associates are turning up tomorrow for your soiree ????? - I'm sure that ONE person you know will be able to sit with the children - or be able to run the cat to an emergency vets ... If you get seriously stuck and this is not a wind up then send me your details - Is the cat registered at a vets ? I will come in a cab - as I don't have a car - and collect the cat and find a vet ...

Chocs she's alert, playing, purring etc. so although I want to get her checked to me she doesn't seem distressed etc I have been watching her closely all evening and trust me if I thought she was suffering in anyway i'd get the kids up and take her i'm really not that bad a person. Thanks so much SamD I really appreciate it, i'll call the vet and see what they think

It's fair enough to say children come first, but not if the animal is suffering. It could be slowly drowning with fluid in its lungs! maybe u could volunteer as well then chocs01 if you think thats the case.

Your kitten will always eat tuna - However .. if it's not standing on its own four paws or wobbly - you need to get it to the vets this evening - NOW - your kitten will possibly not survive the evening if it has chlorinated water in it's lungs......... I'm shocked its not already at the vets......... and I'm even more shocked that you can't fit it into your schedule tomorrow .....Fairy God mother My A$$ .........I'm thinking your actions by not putting the kitten under observation at the vets immediatly after the incident that your being as cruel as the child ..... What exactly would you have me do with my children??? exactly, my children come way before my pets. Maybe you could help her out bowbellscowbells.
