It is so great to see him happy, relaxed and at home in the first one!:) And the second shows what a mighty scar he has, hope it heals well. Please give him a gentle hug from me.:)

That big ole scar will heal much faste than you would think... and when his fur grows back it will be gorgeous!!! God Bless you for giving this wonderful guy a second chance at a normal life!!!

Thanks for fixing the pictures? What happened? I've never had that problem before! Porch is not too happy not being able to go outside when he pleases. This will be quite a transition for all of us. We have him a cozy spot in the bathroom to seclude him from all the others when we're not home. Poor Baby!

[Cookiebaker]

Aww Poor Porch! I hope he feels lots better soon! He's so beautiful lounging in the sunshine!

[jenluckenbach]

Welcome home, Porch. We were all worried about you for a while. I love your new look in hair-do. Especially the lion look tail.;) A godd sunbath is JUST what the doctor ordered after your ordeal. Hope you feel PURRfectly fine really soon.

[NoahsMommy]

Awww, Porch, its so nice to see you happily sunning yourself. :)

Keep on getting yourself better sweet boy!

[Steffi N]

Porch it is so nice to see you relaxing in the sun. I hope everything continues to go well for you as you heal and that you will not have to stay in the bathroom for long. Please give Porchie a gentle hug from me, too. :)

Welcome home, Porch!! I hope you will be all-rightie in no time!!

Porch is not a happy camper. He wants outside and can only go if we're supervising. I also hate keeping him locked in the bathroom when we're not here, but know it's for his best.

[Barbara]

Poor boy Porch -that was a tough one. Maybe there are only 8 lives left.
How is he? Is he eating? And going to the litterbox?
Anyway he'll be glad to be home and close to you.
All the best from the wet noses here:)

[bluekat]

Oh Porch, Welcome home!!!!!You look so happy there, in the sun. Your fur will grow back very soon, and that scar will heal just fine, and sooner than you know it. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Go back to your post, click on edit, then look at the image url. At the very end you'll see that imagestation adds ".orig.jpg" Delete that much and your picture will show up. Don't know why, but I've learned to check for that. Good luck.

[PayItForward]

He looks a happy kitty.

[Cataholic]

Nothing provides such comfort as the warm Mr. Sun. I am glad to hear Porch is making his way!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad that Porch is finally home. He looks so happy lying in the sun. :) Please get well soon Porch. :)

[szazie]

Oh Lisa and Kevin, I am so happy for Porch!!! I wish I could hug him! You are both so precious, and the best!

[Vio&Juni]

I am so happy for Porch that everything ended happily :)
How happy Kevin must be for taking the GOOD decision!

[emily_the_spoiled]

I am so happy that Porch is back home and enjoying Mr. Sun Beam ;)

OH Porch, it looks as though you will recover beautifully. I'm so glad to see you're up and feeling better. You'll be climbing trees in no time!

[catmandu]

Dont worry K & L , Cats are very resilent and soon Porch will be his old self , and that scar will heal. Especially when he can lie in the Sun and has such wonderful Guardians as you, Praise the lord for hepling Porch come home!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[K & L]

Thank you all! The vet has called a couple times a day over the weekend checking on him. Porch actually had a couple bowel movements, which is VERY good. He's still moving quite slowly, but is wanting out very badly. We sat out with him a lot yesterday afternoon. The worst part is he can only have special food so we're having to change our free feeding to a couple times a day. The others are real happy about this either!:eek:

[Russian Blue]

I'm so glad Porch is recovering!!

Laying in the sun is always a good way for a cat to recover. He'll be back to himself in no time!

;)

[ramanth]

Welcome home Porch! Despite the shaved fur and scar, you are looking real good!

I love his little lion puff of fur on the end of his tail. :D

[HayleyRosie]

I'm so glad Porch is home with you and recovering from his surgery. I'm sure he will be back to himself soon.

[batgirl1980]

GREAT NEWS! I'm so glad to hear he's back and doing well. I am so glad you guys opted to do the surgery, and I'm so happy that Porch has such a wonderful family!

gentle hugs to porch!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh, Porch, you look wonderful soaking up the sun. And there is no better healer than a good nap in the sun. :) I see you got your summer haircut too. ;) :)

You are beautiful, and your mommy and daddy are too.

The bathroom is a good safe place for you right now, so don't be too upset that you can't get out. Actually I'm so glad you're upset because that means you're feeling much, much better.

Head bumpies and scritchies to you, sweetie. Soak up all the sun you can. :)

[K & L]

Porch is doing fairly well. He was shaved to help prevent his fur becoming really messing during his recovery. He will not have a lot of control for a while and it will be quite runny. We let him on the bed with us for a bit this morning, BIG mistake! I now have a lot of laundry waiting for me when I get home. He's now limited to the floor for attention.

[catland]

aw - Porch, you sure have gone through such an ordeal. You are so lucky to have such good humans. I'm sure its not fun being locked in the bathroom, but right now, while you are healing, it is the best thing for you.

[K & L]

Yes, until his stitches are out they don't want him around the other 16 cats unless supervised. Plus they don't want him in an area where he will be doing a lot of jumping up, bathroom is the best place we could think of!

[slick]

So glad to hear that Porch is recovering. Keep us posted.
