This is a quick snapshot of Fynn sitting on the sundeck of Cleo's cat house on the porch. As the cat house doesn't have a heating, Cleo won't use it any time soon. The sundeck offers a nice view over the neighbouring gardens which Fynn often enjoys.
Fynn is doing okay although it has been quite difficult to feed him over the weekend as eating is painful for him. The vet thinks that it's because of his cat flu related gingivitis and tongue ulcers but I think that there is another problem. We have a vet appointment anyway on Monday morning and I will ask the vet to consider an x-ray to see if there is a problem with his teeth.
Grrr je suis une dangereuse féline
Heu, oui bon Pistache, tu sais sans dents ce n'est pas vraiment impressionnant (Pour une question de gingivite chronique Pistache a eu une extraction de toutes ses dents, les canines récemment)
Rawr I'm a dangerous feline
Er, yes OK Pistache but you know without teeth it's not really impressive (because of chronic gingivitis Pistache had an extraction of all her teeth, the canines recently)
Everybody is concerned about Sneaky, as you can see the guys take always good care of him and try to keep him warm whenever they can. He has been sick since we brought him from the Foster Home ( 2 years ago, his previous name was zombie ), he has difficulty keeping himself warm, has some immune illness ( we checked already for feline aids but he tested negative ), very very bad chronic gingivitis and the only thing the vets suggested is to pull out all his teeth. But I mean besides him being cold, he does eat and drink and is happy a couple of hours in the evening when it's quiet in the House. So why put him through such a major operation and suffering. Poor guy....really don't know what would be better for him!? Tried already all sorts of remedies but nothing really worked. The Vet said that basically every animal has a certain amount of bacteria in their mouth, well sneaky has 100times that and it's attacking his own gums.

Las flores de caléndula son comestibles.
La flor de la Caléndula es antiinflamatoria, antiséptica y cicatrizante.
Hace aproximadamente más de 3000 años que los egipcios la consideraban milagrosa y los romanos y los griegos la usaban para curar enfermedades.
La caléndula renueva la piel dañada sin dejar cicatrices.
Por otra parte, la flor de la caléndula es ideal para curar las llagas y otras afecciones de la piel si se aplica en compresas y fomentos.
También podría ayudar a tratar el acné, la dermatitis, las quemaduras y las heridas.
Por sus propiedades calmantes, suavizantes y emolientes, la caléndula es una gran aliada.
Según la Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina de los Estados Unidos, la caléndula puede utilizarse para prevenir los espasmos musculares.
También, combatir la conjuntivitis, tratar problemas de micosis en la piel gracias a su contenido en ácido málico y gentístico, y combatir la gingivitis y otras afecciones bucales.
NOTA IMPORTANTE:
No usar los remedios naturales sin la supervisión de un médico o especialista, ni comerlas salvo de un establecimiento dedicado a ello.

"Bee balm is considered a good plant to grow with tomatoes, ostensibly improving both health and flavor. It also is a good companion plant in general, attracting pollinators and some predatory/parasitic insects that hunt garden pests...The Blackfoot Indians recognized the strong antiseptic action of these plants, and used poultices of the plant for skin infections and minor wounds. A tea made from the plant was also used to treat mouth and throat infections caused by dental caries and gingivitis. Bee balm is the natural source of the antiseptic Thymol, the primary active ingredient in modern commercial mouthwash formulas. The Winnebago used a tea made from bee balm as a general stimulant. Bee balm was also used as a carminative herb by Native Americans to treat excessive flatulence.

We had a not so very pleasant weekend. The weather was horrible, Fynn has had a flare-up of his cat flu related gingivitis and I have had a migraine. The migraine started on Sunday and isn't completely over yet but I'm able to open my eyes again. This morning Linus was pleased that after the boring weekend we had some sunshine for an hour or two which allowed him to go out again although it was very cold and for some reason THE BIRDS didn't want to play according to his rules. The crow in this shot is Linus' personal nemesis as it often sits on a tree or the roof of the house, teases Linus with its presence and throws insults down at him. It's a thing between the crow and LInus as the bird ignores Cleo and Fynn completely.
She has been vomiting a lot the last month and her jaws were inflamed (gingivitis). The vet isnot sure what causes this. But after several weeks of antibiotics and a medicin to stop the vomiting it is going alright. Maybe some of the molars which are bad must be drawn out.
It is almost impossible to take photos of Fynn these days. Due to his chronic cat flu he often doesn't feel well and understandably isn't really willing to pose for photos. He was waching a pigeon on the neighbour's house here and I managed a quick photo without bothering him. Next week I will have to try to get a vet appointment for him again as his tongue ulcers and gingivitis are really bad right now and that makes it hard for him to eat. In fact he wouldn't eat at all if I didn't feed him by hand.

FASCINATING FACTS:
Monarda (Bergamot) (HP) This is the herb that flavours Earl Grey tea, but the bees love its flowers for pollen and nectar. Its folk name in the Uk is bee balm. It likes a moist but not wet soil and can cope with a bit of shade. Share it with the bees!

Several species, including Monarda fistulosa and M. didyma, have a long history of use as medicinal plants by many Native Americans, such as the Blackfoot, Menominee, Ojibwa and Winnebago. The Blackfoot recognized the strong antiseptic action of the plants, and used them in poultices for skin infections and minor wounds. Native Americans and later settlers also used it to alleviate stomach and bronchial ailments. A tisane made from the plant was also used to treat mouth and throat infections caused by dental caries and gingivitis. Bee balm is a natural source of the antiseptic compound thymol, the primary active ingredient in some modern commercial mouthwash formulas. The Winnebago used a bee balm tisane as a general stimulant. Bee balm was also used as a carminative herb by Native Americans to prevent excessive flatulence.[8] An infusion of crushed, boiled Monarda has been used to treat headache and fever.

Little Island girl Pearl will have her Clinic visit tomorrow to check on her skin condition, ear mite condition, gingivitis and she will be spayed. Wish her luck! 🍀
Pistache est en pleine forme depuis que sa gingivite est sous contrôle, elle a repris 500 g en moins d'un mois. Je ne pense pas qu'elle sera jamais vraiment grosse vu qu'elle a une hyperthyroïdie, mais au moins elle n'est plus squelettique.
Demain elle va chez la vétérinaire pour son rappel de vaccins et par la suite tous les 4 mois environ elle ira à la prise de sang vu qu'elle a tout de même un traitement plutôt lourd. Mais elle est une patiente modèle
Pistache is doing very well since her gingivitis is under control, she gained 500 g weight in less than a month. I do not think she'll ever be really fat because she has hyperthyroidism, but at least she's no longer skeletal.
Tomorrow she goes to the vet for her vaccine and later every 4 months she will go to the blood test as she still has a rather heavy treatment. But she is a model patient.
Voilà, Pistache n'a plus de dents, les dernières ont été retirées hier. Espérons que ses problèmes de gingivite seront définitivement résolus ou du moins sous contrôle. Elle a perdu pas mal de poids ces derniers mois (et tous les examens sont bons), mais depuis hier elle mange trois fois plus que les autres jours. Reste à savoir si c'est grâce à l'extraction des dents (dont une provoquait une infection) ou si ce sont les antibiotiques et/ou l'antiinflammatoire qui la soulagent. En tout cas elle a cessé de baver comme si elle avait la rage. On croise les doigts. Ne vous inquiétez pas, ça fait longtemps que la majorité de ses dents avaient été retirées et sa nourriture préférée sont les croquettes.
Here we are, Pistache has no more teeth, the last ones were removed yesterday. Hopefully her gingivitis problems will be definitely solved or at least under control. She has lost a lot of weight in recent months (all exams are good), but since yesterday she has eaten three times more than the other days. Let’s see now whether it is thanks to the teeth extraction or whether it is the antibiotics and / or the anti-inflammatory that relieves her. In any case she stopped drooling as if she had rabies. Let's cross fingers.
Don't worry, most of her teeth were removed long time ago and her favourite food is dry food.
Little Island girl Pearl will have her Clinic visit tomorrow to check on her skin condition, ear mite condition, gingivitis and she will be spayed. Wish her luck! 🍀

Pistache se bronzant au soleil.
Pistache qui se bat contre une gingivite/stomatite chronique depuis des années semble avoir enfin le traitement qui lui convient. Ca fait deux semaines qu'elle ne bave plus du tout et elle a déjà repris 350 g, elle qui en perdait à chaque pesée. Son traitement est néanmoins assez lourd, donc il faut surveiller. Mais elle a retrouvé sa joie de vivre, son appétit et son pelage est lui aussi beaucoup plus beau. Ouf
Pistache sunbathing.
Pistache who has been struggling with chronic gingivitis / stomatitis for years, seems finally to have the treatment that suits her. For the last two weeks she hasn't drooled at all and she has already taken 350 g, until now she lost weight at each weighing. Her treatment is nevertheless quite heavy, so I have to watch. But she has regained her joie de vivre, her appetite and her coat is also prettier. Phew
Vous aurez remarqué qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de photos de Pistache. En effet la pauvre n'est pas en forme. Sa gingivite/stomatite ne s'arrête pas et son traitement donne des résultats médiocres. Elle dort beaucoup (encore plus par temps chaud) et bave énormément (ça se voit sur la photo malgré le fait que je la débarbouille plusieurs fois par jour). Elle mange très peu et est vraiment maigre maintenant. On essaie un nouveau traitement, mais la guérir complétèment est utopique, il s'agit de lui offrir le meilleur confort de vie.
You will have noticed that there are not many pictures of Pistache. Indeed she isn't doing very well. Her gingivitis / stomatitis does not stop and her treatment gives poor results. She sleeps a lot (even more in hot weather) and drools a lot (visible on the picture despite the fact that I wash her mouth several times a day). She eats very little and is really skinny now. We are now trying out a new treatment, but none is going to cure her completely, I try to give her the best comfort of life.
Ma pauvre Pistache a eu toutes ses dents extraites mercredi passé, à l'exception des canines (pour cause de gingivite chronique). Mais elle va très bien, a mangé immédiatement après son opération et ne semble pas regretter ses dents. En plus ce matin elle a reçu un nouveau coussin moelleux qu'elle a immédiatement adopté.
Last Wednesday my poor Pistache had all her teeth extracted except the canines (due to chronic gingivitis). But she's fine, she ate immediately after surgery and does not seem to regret her teeth. In addition she received this morning a new soft cushion that she immediately adopted.
A very important plant to native american Indians . The crushed leaves exude an essential oil that was considered to be antiseptic . It was used for stomach and bronchial ailments . Also used to treat mouth and and throat infections, dental caries and gingivitis. Also used for seasoning in wild game.
Murdoch has severe gingivitis, the tablets have not worked so the vet wants to try interferon. Trouble is he is not insured and we look set to have a hefty bill!!! he is such a gentle cat he shows very few outward signs of discomfort, just goes more quite and stops eating when he is really sore. Such a lovely cat it is worth a try to take away his mouth pain. Should start his treatment next week.
my cat Caiseal, a couple days after dental surgery, comfy in his favourite armchair. Thankfully no ensuing issues.
First up - blood work, exam
- anesthetized for surgery prep and x-rays, dental cleaning and to treat gingivitis, then "crown capping" which is removing the top crown of the tooth due to "tooth resorption" - he had one done on each side of his lower jaw
In at 07h30, home at 16h30, recovery period 2 weeks, follow up 1 week later.

This is for Ben, to celebrate his 10th Birthday (I do have candles that spell BEN but I thought they'd spoil the pictures, so I'll leave it for his Mum to add them!)
This cake design is from the totally wonderful Debbie Brown's new book! , gorgeous and gruesome cakes for children (you have GOT to see it - I love it!)...
I was SO thrilled when Angie ordered this for Ben, it was one of the ones I'd fancied having a go at! ... I couldn't resist but put my own twist on it slightly - in the book Debbie suggests adding another row of teeth - so I did, I also added a bent knee and a second hand! - so not much of a change but I had to do it for the sake of it! ... I'm so pleased with the results!
The Sea is brushed with piping gel - I have to say I'm not a fan, I think I'll stick with confectioners glaze - I also added a little of my beloved edible glitter!.
The cake is rich chocolate cake with choc chips and choc-fudge filling ....mmmmm!
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see that in total it took around 3- 3 and a half hours to decorate! - that's quick by my standards!
Pas la meilleure photo, mais je voulais vous montrer combien Pistache aime "m'aider" quand je travaille.
Ce matin elle a eu une prise de sang. Valeurs rénales parfaites (à contrôler tous les 4 mois vu qu'elle prend un anti-inflammatoire à vie pour sa gingivite), mais ses valeurs de thyroïde sont trop élevées malgré son médicament. Pour le moment elle reste au même dosage, mais elle refera une prise de sang dans 2 mois.
Dude le lapin a quant à lui été à son parage de dents, il se remet dans mon "infirmerie" avant de retourner dans son habitat
Not the best photo, but I wanted to show you how much Pistache loves to "help me" when I'm working.
This morning she had a blood test. Perfect kidney values (check every 4 months as she takes a lifelong anti-inflammatory for her gingivitis), but her thyroid values are too high despite her medication. For the moment she remains at the same dosage, but she will have another blood test in 2 months.
Dude the rabbit had his usual teeth trimming, he is recovering in my "sick room" before returning to his housing.
Monarda fistulosa
Wild bergamot was considered a medicinal plant by many Native Americans to treat common colds. It was also used for poultices to treat skin infections and minor wounds, and as a remedy for mouth and throat infections caused by dental caries and gingivitis. Bee balm is a natural source of the antiseptic thymol, the primary active ingredient in modern commercial mouthwash formulas.
Die amerikanischen Eingeborenen verwendeten die Pflanze zur Behandlung von Erkältungen, sowie für Wickelumschläge bei Hautentzündungen und kleinen Wunden und als Mittel gegen Mund- und Rachenentzündungen, die durch Zahnstein und Zahnfleischentzündungen verursacht wurden. Die wilde Bergamotte enthält den Wirkstoff Thymol, der heute als Hauptwirkstoff in modernen Mundspülmitteln eingesetzt wird.

Petite Pistache a été chez le docteur. On lui a extrait les 2 canines de gauche qui lui restaient (le reste a déjà été retiré en raison de gingivite chronique et celles de droites sont tombées). Je suis contente que ce soit terminé, car on lui a diagnostiqué une insuffisance cardiaque et par conséquent les opérations sont délicates. Prochainement elle passera un examen plus poussé du cœur pour voir s’il lui faut un médicament. Elle se repose maintenant dans le nouveau panier de Lewis qui est allé se coucher plus loin, n'est-il pas un brave garçon?
Little Pistache was at the doctor's. The remaining 2 left canines were removed (the other teeth were removed already due to chronic gingivitis and the right ones fell). I'm glad it's over because she has been diagnosed with heart failure and therefore the operations are delicate. Later she will undergo a specific exam to find out if she needs special medication for her heart. She is now resting in Lewis's new basket, he went to sleep elsewhere, isn't he a nice boy?
The toothbrush is an oral hygiene instrument used to clean the teeth and gums that consists of a head of tightly clustered bristles mounted on a handle, which facilitates the cleansing of hard-to-reach areas of the mouth.

Pistache mon héroïne. Maintenant que le stress est passé je peux en parler. Il y a 2 semaines je suis allée chez ma vétérinaire car Pistache mange peu et a encore maigri. Même si à priori ses 4 dents restantes qui lui provoquent de la gingivite me semblent être la cause, ma vétérinaire a voulu lui faire une échographie. A cette occasion elle a vu des ganglions (dans le ventre) gonflés. Par prudence elle m'a envoyée, jeudi dernier, avec Pistache faire une cytoponction échoguidée à Liège (où j'ai été avec les moutons). Ouf, rien de suspect tout va bien, donc on en revient aux dents.
Pourquoi j'ai dit que Pistache est une héroïne, parce qu'elle a fait 4 heures de voiture (2h30 à l'aller à cause de bouchons et 1h30 au retour) sans le moindre miaulement, elle dormait dans son panier. Sur place (de nouveau 2 heures) un modèle de perfection, pas de sédation nécessaire et a l'issue de l'échographie + ponction, la vétérinaire m'a dit que Pistache est un chat fantastique, un modèle du genre ! Ha ha, on a beau avoir un air bougon on est un ange ! En plus une fois rentrée à la maison elle a bu et mangé et est partie faire un petit tour au jardin, comme si cette épopée était quelque chose qu’elle fait tous les jours.
Prochaine étape maintenant, l'extraction de ces 4 dernières dents et ensuite on espère qu'elle pourra vieillir tranquillement.
Pistache my heroine. Now that the stress is over I can talk about it. Two weeks ago I went to my vet because Pistache eats little and has lost weight. Although I’m quite convinced that her 4 remaining teeth provoking gingivitis seem to be the cause, my vet wanted to do an ultrasound. On this occasion she saw swollen ganglions (in the belly). As a precaution she sent me, last Thursday, to make an ultrasound-guided cytopuncture in Liege (where I went with the sheep). Phew, nothing suspicious everything is fine, so we come back to the teeth.
Why I said that Pistache is a heroine, because she made 4 hours of car (2:30 to go because of traffic jams and 1:30 to return) without any meowing, she slept in her basket. On site (2 hours in total) perfect behavior , no sedation needed and after the ultrasound + puncture, the veterinarian told me that Pistache is an amazing cat, a model of its kind! Ha ha, even if she always looks grumpy, she is an angel! In addition, after returning home she drank and ate and went for a walk in the garden, as if this saga was something she does every day.
Next step now, the extraction of these last 4 teeth and then we hope that she can age quietly.
Ce midi nous avions enfin un peu de soleil et un ciel presque bleu (bon c'est déjà fini). Du coup Princesse Pistache a daigné mettre son museau dehors, chose qu'elle n'avait plus fait depuis très longemps. Et du coup elle a été poursuivie par les paparazzi.
Vous constaterez aussi que depuis qu'elle n'a plus de gingivite (extraction de toutes ses dents) elle a bien repris le poids perdu. Je ne crie pas encore victoire trop tôt, mais je pense que le problème est réglé, espérons
This afternoon we finally had some sun and an almost blue sky (well it's already over). So Princess Pistache deigned to put her nose out, something she had not done for a long time. And of course she got immediately pursued by paparazzi.
You will also note that since she has no gingivitis anymore (extraction of her teeth) she has regained the weight that she had lost. I do not shout victory too early yet, but I think the problem is solved, let's hope
Pistache ne joue pas beaucoup à son âge (bientôt 13 ans), mais depuis que ses problèmes de gingivite sont sous contrôle, elle a ses petits moments de folie entre 2 siestes
Pistache does not play much at her age (soon 13), but since her gingivitis problems are under control, she has her little moments of madness between 2 naps
Not too bad. Gingivitis not progressing, only one new cavity that needs to be addressed, however; Sod's Law: I lost two fillings right after the appointment was made back in November and have had temporary fillings in this whole time. My grand appointment to get everything cleaned AND fixed at once is in February. Can't wait.

...had three teeth out last Monday, but the gingivitis is not apparent. The final week of antibiotics finishes tomorrow, I'm sure she will be pleased about that. I want to ask the vet this week if he will do a test for FCV, which may have caused it. She has been tested for FIV and FELV, which came up negative thank goodness! She has two bare patches on her forearms, one for the anaesthetic, the other for the blood tests. If her gingivitis is caused by FGS (Feline Chronic Lymphocytic Plasmacytic Gingivostomatitis) - the test is a biopsy - there is research going on at the University of Glasgow, and I will ask my vet if they want to take part with Ariel. I can apply without the vet if they cannot get involved. It all depends on the diagnosis, but she seems to have responded very well so far. Part of the treatment involves a special diet cat food, Applaws, and another one available online and in Sainsbury's. She is always a cheerful little girl, you'd never know she had any problems.Off to the vet on Tuesday, I'll know more then.

Pistache has an appointment at the vet tomorrow. I fear she is having her 3rd gingivitis in 3 months. What a pity

Jambul
From Wikipedia
Jambul or Jamun or Jamblang (Syzgium cumini), Nava Pazham (Tamil) is an evergreen tropical tree in the flowering plant family Myrtaceae, native to India and Indonesia. It is also grown in other areas of southern Asia including Myanmar and Afghanistan. The tree was also introduced to Florida, USA in 1911 by the USDA, and is also now commonly planted in Suriname. In Brazil, where it was introduced from India during Portuguese colonisation, it has spread out in the wild in some places, as many native birds such as thrushes, tanagers and the Great Kiskadee want their fruits. The various names for this fruit are (in Java) plum, jambul, jamun, jaman, black plum, faux pistachier, Indian blackberry, jambol, doowet, jambolan and jambolão. Scientific synonyms include Syzygium jambolanum, Eugenia cumini and Eugenia jambolana.
A fairly fast growing species, it can grow as high as 30 metres, and can live more than 100 years. Its dense foliage provides shade and is grown just for its ornamental value. The wood is strong and water resistant. Because of this it is used in railway sleepers and to install motors in wells. It is sometimes used to make cheap furniture and village dwellings though it is relatively hard to work on.
The Jamun tree starts flowering in March-April. The fragrant flowers of Jamun are small, nearly 5 millimetres in diameter. This is followed by the fruit which appears in May-June and resembles a large berry. The berry is oblong and ovoid. It is green when just appearing, pink when as it matures, and shining crimson black when fully ripe. Another variety comes in white and some people say that it can be used as a medicine. Jamun fruit is a mixture of sweet, slightly sub acid spicy flavour that stands out even after eaten since it turns the tongue into purple color. The fruit is universally accepted to be very good for medicinal purposes, especially diabetics. The seed is also used in various alternative healing systems like Ayurveda, Unani and Chinese medicine for digestive ailments. The leaves and bark are used for controlling blood pressure and gingivitis. Wine and vinegar are also made from the fruit.

...or why it's not a good idea to disturb Joey when he's having a bad day with a mild case of gingivitis. Callie was just asking for it.
No kittehs were harmed during filming as their claws have already been trimmed. :o)
The hissing and spitting at the end was actually Callie being startled and not Joey.
