Pouncer's my sweetie

[catnapper]

Anything to comfort himself, or to get your attention so you will cuddle him.

I should know this, why does he feel awful have the cone, have to be in isolation? Sorry, it is 11:30 PM, and I am drawing a blank.

He's got a massive urinary infection. His pee is loaded with blood and his whole little bottom is inflamed and swollen. Its all brought on by stress.

He's currently in Cameron's room to destress and heal.

Our Pouncer and Mister Scrappy have taken a leave of absence to be with Pouncer to help him through his crisis.
We are all praying for your Pouncer that he will be better very soon, he is such a Love Bug.

What a total sweetie! I just love his face when he is getting his tunny rubs - you could never say no to those sweet big eyes!

I hope he feels better soon!

OT: Oscar had the same type of infection about a year after Cole joined us. Even though they got along, it was still stress, especially for a former feral. Oscar was on Feliway for a long time (I would spray it on his very stretchy collar; the 'breakaway' collars DIDN'T), and add a bit of cranberry capsule powder to plain yogurt, which Oscar loves.

The vet called it "idiopathic cystitis".

Biscuits and belly rubs, with a cone on? THAT is as sweet as a cat can get! GIve that lovey boy some belly rubs from me. Get well soon, Pouncer!

Oh, sweet Pouncer,

My Princess Sophie (recently of the cone of shame aka the elizabethan collar) wants to let you know you are doing exactly all the right things for the best loving attention.

I, too (writes Her Supreme Kittiness) wore the collar and used it to my advantage. Soon you will be healed and ready for even MORE love. Do not despair sweet Prince Pouncer.

(I hope all goes well, what a sweet boy!)
