Pictures of Your Animal Family

Astonishingly, the next day he was up and around as though nothing had ever happened.

That's how Squirt is at the moment. His nonregenerative anemia reversed somehow. The heart murmur is gone. All of his bloodwork is completely normal at the moment. As my vet says, if one didn't know about the feline leukemia, all tests and the physical exam shows a 100% healthy, well muscled, active young cat.

I know that can probably change without notice for Squirt, which is why I am conscious of every day I am given with him.

I feel the same way about my animals.

ETA - a few years ago I stayed overnight at a friend's house and I couldn't work out what felt so empty and soulless to me about the place and I realised afterwards it was because they didn't have any companion animals.

I knew in my heart of hearts she would never do it - but I always wanted my Mom to get a cat. Her apartment was so warm and cozy - really all that was missing was the comforting presence that comes with having a lap cat. She took care of ours while we were out of town and they really made an impression on her - and from that day on she had a totally new respect for cats. She died last summer as did our beloved Mim - and I like to think that she now does indeed have a cat to keep her company. If there is any kind of an afterworld to this mess of an illusion we currently exist in - I know they'll be waiting on the other side.

Just because I love him, even though he's been stand-offish the last two days.

I imagine him looking out the window, seeing all the white stuff, and saying, "Yeah, I'll just stay here and hide under my nice warm blanket!", lol.

 

[PTree15]

Lol, he actually was quite interested in watching the flakes, but yeah, he loves his blankets.

Was she bothering her incision site, or did the vet put an e-collar on here as a matter of course?

It's just a precaution, she doesn't seem that bothered by the incision but she'd probably try to lick it if she had the chance. We can't keep an eye on her 24 hours a day (gotta sleep sometime!), so this helps make sure she stays away from it.

I photographed a couple of felines:
