So glad he's getting better. Much love.I went to visit Radar earlier this evening - he has been on IV fluids and looked more like normal (other than being very thin).
He was really pleased to see me - practically flung himself on me and shoved his little head in my face. We had purry cuddles for about 3 minutes before his attention shifted and he was looking at the ward over my shoulder and trying to get out of his ward cage, this made me happy because that is Radar all over. So I only had a short visit with him as he was getting a bit excited and clearly wanted to use the opportunity to make a break for it.
He ate a small amount of food before my arrival and I took in a selection of his favourite pouches of food.
I'm feeling a bit happier and more positive now I have seen him alert and with mischief in his eyes
How big is the print/frame?So , mrs21 wanted a painting of Puisin as a Christmas present . The woman on ETSY is very busy (nice for her) so it was finally delivered yesterday . It is a great likeness so Mrs21 is very happy with it . View attachment 129639
stripey face and cartoon head
It tends to happen when they are either feeling aggressive or frightened/confronted - it's to make themselves look bigger and more of a challenge!Is there some kind of hormone release that causes a cat's tail to puff up when they're spoiling for a fight? Missy came in early with her tail inflated to about twice its normal volume, and whenever I've seen that in the past it's been when she's seen someone she doesn't like, i.e. another cat.

Milo has had to go to the vet five times in the last six months for getting into scraps with another neighborhood cat, which have led to abcesses. Starting to get horrendously expensive, even if it does get us multiple opportunities for pictures like thisWell, Clive's feeling very sorry for himself
Right side of his face is all swollen up so he's either been on the wrong side of a wallop from a neighbourhood cat or he's stuck his head in a stingy insect nest (he's done that at least twice before, you'd think he'd learn)
If he's not much improved tomorrow morning it's off to the vet with him... Again
Oh shit, that's awful. Sorry to hear that EponaUnfortunately my darling Radar had a stroke earlier this afternoon, I rushed him to hospital but on top of his other health issues (URI, and tests that came back today showed pancreatitis, also he is possibly now in heart failure) he isn't expected to recover. He is on O2 tonight and being monitored and kept comfortable, and we will decide what to do after vet rounds in the morning if he makes it through the night. It is entirely possible that we are just trying to give Nate (who was at work this afternoon/evening) the chance to say goodbye to his beloved cat. I'm still hoping that there is a small chance that he might rally a bit and be viable for treatment, he's a stubborn little thing - but the odds aren't good.
Just sitting here crying my eyes out. Whatever happens it is going to take a long time for the sight of him right after having a stroke to stop haunting me.
