Ben Purr's Xray came back. It is very promising as he doesn't have any tumors or asthma.

What he has is Toxoplasmosis.

Which is cureable.

He must have got a hold of some bad meat, as he was scrounging for food.

Poor fellow, he probably knew. Well, I can eat this meat, and it will make me sick, or I can just die here.


I don't know if he ever had a family, but my suspicions are: yes.

Based on: he's neutered
and his nails have been cut. (doubtful the rescuer did this)

Now, did he escape and get lost? (He shows no interest in the rest of his room, much less getting outside.

Or was he tossed out?

Maybe a new baby came, or the family moved.

Sorry to say, very common reasons a cat ends up on the street.



We'll never know his story, and he's not telling.

He's now safe, full, and going to be getting the medicine to finally make him feel better.

Bennie, my sweet big lamb.
