Toby is one of the abandoned cats by my irresponsible neighbour, I have both mother and sister as well, he went in yesterday and was such a good boy, picked him up in the evening, had the laundry all decked out with his bed, litter box and food, although he decided the washing machine was where he wanted to stay, he was hungry as a horse and gobbled down his fresh chicken mince in a flash.
I continued to go in at intervals and give him some pats, he loves tummy rubs and i had him on a blanket on top of the washing machine lying there having his tummy rubbed and him falling asleep, he really is becoming much less timid these days,which is good as i still need to try and re-home if at all possible.which is getting harder as i am becoming more attached.
I have never seen a newly neutered cat before so it was interesting lol, he does look quite different but not like my Ash, i guess in time he will, i really have no idea.,and in a few weeks time he will no longer be stinky, yahoo.
Now i really think i have to change his name to Houdini, because when i got up this morning to go in and feed him, he was no where to be seen, I thought he must be under the blanket which had fallen to the floor, until i saw the laundry window open, yep you guessed it the clever little monkey had worked out how to open the latch and got out, I have no idea how early he got out, I went to bed at 10.30 pm and he was there, he was not there in the morning on the verandah at first but a little while later he was there sitting on the old pram which is is fav spot eagarly awaiting feeding, he appears to be fine, so i guess his night time escapade did him no harm.
I had mentioned to the vet about his sneezing and eyes, well for some reason they decided to give him an injection for lung worm, I had never told them he was coughing, because he wasn't, strange thing to do i thought, however i guess no harm done, because there was no discharge at the time from his eyes did nothing, however on his return home i noticed he had a couple of blobs there,i was concerned about them as they look awful some times, but i guess the vets know best, they often look blood red in the white bit, so i am puzzled as to why the vets saw nothing.
So this boys roaming nights are over,so now just have to concentrate on finding him a good home.
