Hello, I'm Eric Rein a cat lover from England. At this time I have fifteen cats as follows: * 2 British Blue queens * 2 British Blue-Cream queens * 1 British Blue male kitten * 2 British Blue-Cream female kittens * 1 British Cream male stud (Champion) * 1 Turkish-Van queen (Champion) * 2 Turkish-Van male kittens * 1 Turkish-Van female kitten * 2 non-pedigree neutered males * 1 visiting guest From twelve weeks, old after the second round of vaccinations, the kittens will go to their new loving homes. Apart from the handsome stud boy who lives in his own house, the other cats all share our house. Unfortunately I have a problem. The British Blue male kitten above was born with a ruptured diaphram or in his case without one. The effect being his intestines are not seperated from his lungs so he pants rather then breathes normally. He was one from a litter of three the others were perfect and though he is slightly smaller than the others he is just as active at fifteen weeks. In fact, were it not for his slightly unusual shape you could think he was fine. My question is does anyone have any experience of this problem? How long can he live? How can I be certain he will not suffer?

Hi Eric
It's nice to see a fellow Basingstoke person in the cats file.
No, I'm sorry, I can't help you with your problem but would recommend
that any good vet could put you on the right path. Just as long
as you are sure it is not suffering, I see no reason why it should
not live a healthy life.
