Awe, poor babies! They're so cute though. Funny, my older son's name is Sebastian (Seb), fortunately though he's not a cat with herpes! Hope their little infections can be kept under control with the new meds...And hopefully they don't get toooo expensive.

Hey Christy
It's a form of an upper respiratory infection, so we usually know the outbreak is coming on because there is lots of cat sneezing going on, but other than that, it's really just in their eyes. They get full of pus, and the inner lid gets pretty swollen, which makes them winky.

Pray your cats never get it. It's so not fun! :)

Aww you have a one-eyed herpes cat! That is the most heartbreaking thing ever and both of them are so, so cute!

That's quite an interesting and eclectic little household that you have there.

I didn't even know that cat could get herpes. And I have 4 cats! Is the pink eye the only symptom?

My has just been diagnosed with a mega colon, yep she can't poop because her colon in all stretched out. So for now and all of eternity I have to pill her with meds that have to be compounded and some very sticky liquid laxative stuff that is everywhere, and we just sold our house and I keep finding random sticky spots on the carpet. I think all of our cats should get together and complain about their people torturing them with medicine. Toni in Oregon

I'm glad that despite their herpes, they have continued to have a strong relationship. They make me miss my cats! (And yup, yoga pants! Those were sooo comfortable, I keep meaning to get a pair.)

Wow, now see that is why I am perfectly fine to just have babies for now. I don't think I could stomach spending thousands of dollars on an animal's medication!

2007-05-25T17:13:00.000-04:00

yes you and your herpes cats come in second..what is hilarious is when i got my kitten my dr told me i had to have him vaccinated against the kitty aids virus, and i said wait cats get aids and he said yeah they are sluts...i neutered my cat that same day.

anyway i know all about canadians being nice, one day while my husband and i were vacationing in mexico we met this canadian couple and she lectured me to no end about americans being shit heads, and how when a canadian says thank you the other person says your welcome, but americans if you say thank you we say YA.....i felt so bad i made this huge effort to say your welcome after that...

Yikes! That's not good. I have a similar situation with two of my cats. Our only boy cat, Archer, was diagnosed with...and yes, this is a real condition...."rodent ulcer" when he was younger...about 7 years ago. It makes his lips swell up in this weird way, and his whole face gets itchy enough that he actually scratches until he is removing chunks of his face! It's really nasty. Well, he decided to share this rodent ulcery goodness with one of our other cats, Quirk. She's had it for the last couple of years.

So now we have to weirdo-lookin' cats walking around with swelled up lips...it looks like they are puckering up! Funny, but sad at the same time. It is also caused by a virus that never ever ever ever goes away. So every couple of months they go in to get Prednisone injections. Ching Ching!!

BTW, your cats are super cute!

I hope Sebastian can find it in his heart to forgi...

I hope Sebastian can find it in his heart to forgive you for giving him herpes. There's probably a lesson to be learned there for Simon, about not licking others after licking yourself. I will certainly abide by that rule for now on. Unless I've had a few drinks, then all bets are off.

What a couple of cuties!
