Yes the vet wants to get him hydrated and wants to keep a close eye on him. My daughter has to call tomorrow afternoon to see how he is and if the doc knows what this "virus" is. yes, he was already named Peterson when we went to pick him out at a pet adoption clinic at Pet Smart 2 years ago this August. He is the most affection, docile, loveable cat. Compared to what he was when he was six weeks old, what a change in his personality. He was a devil as a kitten but now he is just a big lug who is just so loveable and squeezable and he lets you do it.
