This is just to update everyone on Ocular. His URI is much better! He is no longer open mouth breathing and doesn't sound congested. Unfortunately he now has some infection in the eye socket where they removed his last eye. I don't think at this point it is anything too serious and he is on antibiotics.
Last night I took him out of his cage and was holding him. He positioned himself on my shoulder and just purred! I supported him but let him move around where he wanted and as his whiskers would brush my face he would pull back. Finally he worked himself into an up and down position on my stomach and chest. I supported his bottom and back while he figured out where my face was. I kept talking to him and he slowly brought his face closer and closer to mine until his lips touched mine! He sniffed me and then lowered his head just a little and put his mouth to my chin and started licking me!!! He gave me the sweetest kisses and my heart melted!!!
I don't think there is any doubt that I will be bringing this guy home with me. When the time comes I will need all of your prayers that things will go well with my crew. If it doesn't I won't have any choice but to take him back and that would kill me. BUT we will deal with that one day at a time and I'm not going to panic yet.
Say prayers for sweet Ocular (that name has got to go!) that he gets well soon.
I've posted this picture before and I don't have a new one. I will post it again just as a reminder of adorable this guy is.
