Please pray for the little outdoor tuxie

Ok, I just couldn't stand it. I called the vet and talked to the vet tech. She said Mike is doing pretty well and will be neutered tomorrow. She said he looks a lot older than almost 7 mo old though. His teeth and everything looks older.

I told her no, he is Frankie's brother and was born April 1st. She wonders if that is a different cat than Frankie's bro. Nope, that is his bro alright. Just all the frights he had outside may have aged him fast.

Anyway, she will call me after his surgery tomorrow and let me know when he can come home. I'm thinking maybe Wednesday. I sure hope Grandma doesn't mind a roomie for a while.

Oh, good work, Mike and vets! Prayers and good wishes for your Manly surgery tomorrow!

Awww, I'm so happy to hear the good news on Mike. I'm also very glad to hear you will have a place for him to recoop after surgery. Would this possibly be a permanent place, or just until he heals up all the way? Either way, a big thank you for helping him out!

The plan is to put him in my bedroom with my cat Grandma. She is 17 now and very laid back. I'm hoping she won't be bothered by him much for a while. Until he finishes his meds and the others get used to the idea that he is in the house. Then I'll bring him out for a meet and greet and see how it goes.
Fingers crossed for us all, please?

I thought when I brought Frankie in there would be a big ruckus. He just walked up and said, "hi ya" to them and that was that. A few hisses and a head bonk or two and that was the end of it.

I don't really want 8 cats in this small house. But I hate the thought of turning him out to be frightened and hurt again even more. BUT 8 is really ENOUGH!!!

Not Frankie's brother? You don't think the Vet office has mixed up the
crates do you? My old Vet used to have me put my name on a tag attached
to the crate when I brought new cats in for spay/neuters.

Hope the little tuxie guy continues to do well.

My name was on the carrier he was in. I'll be able to tell when I pick him up. It would be one big coincidence to have two weak tuxie cats, with ear infection and wounds on their ears there at the same time. Most likely, Mike is going to take after his daddy, which I think is also Chuck's daddy.

A BIG tuxie who is bigger than Chuck, who I can hardly get my arms around. Though I will admit, I'm wondering how a cat who was so light I could pick him up with one hand got as big as they say he is. Must be some good food they are feeding him.

Well, if they go to neuter the cat and it's already neutered, I'll know it's the wrong one.

I'm sitting here trying not to panic. I have heard nothing about Mike. They do the surgeries in the morning so he should be out of recovery by now. I did call the recptionist half an hour ago.

She didn't even have him on the list. Wanted to know if I brought him in yesterday. I told no, he has been with them since Thursday. Then she told me the vet is busy with another customer and the recptionist will call me back. So, I am still waiting. I do not have a good feeling about this at all.

MOFF,

Thank you so much for taking the tuxie in!!!

MOFF,

Thank you so much for taking the tuxie in!!!

I'm not real sure I'll ever get him back to take in at this point. I called again and the annoyed recptionist told me everyone was still busy. I asked her if she at least knew if he was alive or not. She said oh, yes, he was sitting in his cage looking at her when she went back there. She just doesn't know if he was neutered or not.

If he had been, the vet techs usually call right after the pets wake up because they know how us pet purrents worry. So, if he has not been, he'll need to stay there another week. I can't bring an un-nuetered cat in here. sigh
Why can't anything ever be easy.
