Boone is at the emergency vet about an hour and a half away from where I am in Prince Edward County; he ate a whole bunch of nicotine gum, which is highly toxic. All of the vets in the County are closed so we frantically looked for the closest vet. It sounds like he’s going to be fine, but he’s staying overnight, just to be safe.

I’m here visiting some friends, and while we were all out, he stole some nicorette from a table.

Naughty boy.

ETA; I called at around 8:00 p.m. and although it sounds like the gum did have an impact on him, to a degree, he’s improving and can be picked up en route home. I’ve been visiting friends out of town, and have to take a train to get home from a certain point in the journey.

Did he swallow it? Aside from the nicotine, is the gum going to… gum him up?

Thanks; it sounds like he’s going to be okay.

It doesn’t seem like the gum part is the problem. I guess it just passes through, but it has nicotine and xylitol in it, both of which are highly toxic and cause kidney, liver and neurological damage. I sounds like he’s going to be okay though, even it seems like it did have a bit of an impact, but he had improved when I called them at around 8:00 p.m.

He stole it from a table, and yes, he ate the gum.

Neighbor’s first foster kittens of the year:


4-5 weeks old, siblings, no history. Both have faint ā€œghostā€ tabby striping in the right light.

Working names are Lady Bite and Lord Squeak, but their personalities haven’t come out much yet, only a day and a half.

Isn’t this true of all black cats?

Allspice, our black kitty, had faint brown stripes when he was younger, visible only in bright sunlight, but they have since disappeared. Lasted only in his first year or so.

Cute kittens!

There have been a couple ā€œtrueā€ black kittens in the foster litters, but most have had varying degrees of ā€œghostā€ tabbying.
