Tragedy at the Layne household... VIDEO ADDED POST 177!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Andy looks like such a little kitty in your photos? Is he on the small side?

(Realizing all things are relative...)

[Lizzie]

Yikes, Katie, what a truly horrific scare for you, and for Andy. I'm another who has been surprised at times when my cats have walked into places that I'd think would make them uncomfortable, such as the dishwasher, and so speedily. Like another poster, one of mine got in the fridge once. I saw something out of the corner of my eye as I closed the door, re-opened it thinking I was being paranoid, and there was a cat on a shelf.

I can see that Andy's ear is red and I'm glad he's on pain meds for the burn. I think he's going to be one of the lucky ones and pull through this - well, with luck and all your excellent care.

I have checked throughout the day, and am thrilled to hear more good news!!

[kt_luvs_kitties]

LOL Richard, so that is why he likes when I leave his room with only a night light on

Andy is doing well, eating a bit and pottying regularly. I leave different foods out to see if he will eat on his own (not yet, he tries but then winces and spits it out) He loves attention, and is being shockenly calm about the meds. He just hates the ecollar and the burn cream...

He is napping comfortably, and Here is a video I took of him tonight. Excuse his dirty nose, I forgot to wipe him down after dinner time.. I was rushing so I could get my other stuff done. Please excuse how bad I look as well... It has been a ROUGH (physically and emotionally) 4 days...





Thanks again for all of the well wishes!

I love hearing good news, esp. about Andy! Yup, there is something about that Fancy Feast, cats really like it, kind of like Temptations. I'm so glad you've gotten him to eat more; that will really help him gain strength and heal faster.

Of course all the PT prayers can't hurt, either. Everyone here is pulling for Andy!!!

Get better, sweet boy. Tell your mamma to give you some special scritches from Archy, Binky and me...........

[Scooter's Mom]

Oh, Katie he looks really good. It looks like you can touch his ear or near it at least, and he doesn't seem to mind. That's good, I think.

He's such a sweet kitty, and it is obvious he loves you a lot.

Keep your chin up. He's going to pull through this. ((Hugs))

Crystal, he does look good, doesnt he I am so proud of him!

I can touch the outside of the ear, without pain, as long as I dont apply pressure. The inside, understandably, is more sensitive, and I HATE putting the meds in, because he squirms, and I know it must be sore.


I truly believe he will make it through this, he is a very strong boy, and awfully determined to be "normal" again.

What I find funny is that all of the other kitties and dogs alike want to be his best friend now.. Because he gets ALL of the GREAT food. Served to him in bed and heated.. He doesnt have to chew or even get up, it goes directly to his mouth.. My kitties are WAY jealous.

They stick their little paws under the door, cry at the door, and sniff under the door as well. They want HIS goodies

[Taz_Zoee]

OH my, Katie!! He looks wonderful!! I am so glad to hear he is eating and to see how much he is responding to you and your love. I KNOW he is going to get through this.

(btw- I love your cute voice )

[Purr-tender]

I just got up and of course the first thing I did was check in on PT to see how Andy and Barney are doing. What a day brightener to see your video! Andy sure loves his meowmie!! Katie, he looks so good! Well, you know his brothers and sisters have to be major jealous of little brother. I can just picture those little paws under the door.

More prayers and gentle hugs for Andy,
Mary

He looks like he's doing so well. His poor ear...I'm sure it will heal just fine.

Oh no, the video isn't available???

[RICHARD]

That video makes me want to go down to the local laundromat and throw myself into a dryer.

Some guys have all the luck!!!
