Sweet, handsome Sylvester!
Quote:
Sylvester's story is one to tell, born in a parking lot to a litter of four on one of the coldest days in April 2004. While his mother did her best to care for them, only two of them were still alive just five days later. Not baring the thought of them freezing to death, I took both kittens home. There I cared for them, bottle fed them and made sure they were comfy and safe. I eventually found a home for one whom we called Oreo she was a sweetie pie, but for some reason the big boy whom we named Sylvester we couldn't part with. He quickly took ownership of my heart, and has been my spoiled baby boy since.
In 2007 when he was only four years old he gave us quite the scare, we came home and he was lying on the floor listless and with no movement, he seemed to be in great deal of pain. We rushed him to the hospital and sure enough he was diagnosed with bladder stones, and needed surgery immediately, complications went on for days, eventually had to be transferred to a specialist in New Rochelle, where Dr. Surgeon saved our little guys life. Sylvester ended up needing a Perineal Urethrostomy, never having heard of this I was baffled. But now, years later our boy is healthy, no complications and still that big ton of fun. Now weighing 20lbs, he is larger than life and I couldn't love him more if I tried!
Everyone in our world knows what he means to me, and always ask how the gigantic cat is..lol I can't remember what life was like without him, he is the first one to greet me in the morning, at the door when we get home and the last one by my side when it's time for bed. Sylvester is an exceptional Cat, and has lived up to his his name, playful, hysterical, king of his domain and likes to be heard. I love him to pieces and couldn't imagine a better match.
Hello, Sylvester in New York! Happy Cat of the Day!
What a handsome fellow you are! You look very nice in your tuxedo, with your sweet face, your cute pink nose and paw pads! Your fur looks so velvety soft, I would love to pet you! Since I can't, though- I hope your people will give you loads of petting and hugs for me.
You had a health scare as a young cat, developing bladder stones and needing a urethrostomy. That must have been a scary time for your people! You have recovered and are doing well - three cheers for your health!
I can tell you are a much loved kitty! You took ownership of your person's heart from the first days you and your sister were tiny kittens, rescued from the cold. Your person loves you to pieces, couldn't imagine a better match and couldn't love you more! :love: :love: Friends and neighbors always ask about the gigantic cat! You are a busy kitty, too ... being the first one to greet your person as soon as the door opens, being playful and joyful. You have much to say and like to be heard! I'd be glad to sit and listen to whatever is on your mind! Best of all, your person can't remember what life was like without you! PURR-fect!
Happy, happy Cat of the day to sweet, handsome, wonderful Sylvester!
