[sandragonfly]

yes, all over your nose! hah no laura.. you don't have to, just post. when I had to bump on the same day I made this thread, I wasn't sure.

with all the commotion going on, we're behind on updates and pictures and he did not do well over the weekend.

I'll try and update in a bit, we're flithy and hungry! from camping.

Oh Gina, "CONGRATULATIONS" on your new addition. I can't wait to meet him. I hope you are enjoying your roadtrip.

Take care and be safe.

I am and thank you. thanks for bumping this up too, when I got the notification - I realized I've forgotten I wanted to update.

ok here it goes ..

a few of you know I picked him, my new cat up last friday morning, on the same day I left for camping.

I felt guilty leaving him alone here, well, not exactly alone - without me but my friend promised me she'd follow my instructions of introduction and that it'll only be three days..

so, when I came back, he was different from last time I saw him. physically, he was shredded really good by one of my friend's cats. all over his muzzle, shoulders and chest. really bad. not eyes, thankfully!

and emotionally, that poor little thing was shaking, meowing constantly like he's in pain in bathroom corner wanting me to pet him but is scared to death coming out. when I am near him and pet him, he falls down on his butt like I switched his neurosystem off and being all immobiled, relaxed.. that worries me ..

I kept on getting watery eyes everytime I seee him now. deeply my heart, I knew I shouldn't have left.. stupid me. I hope all of what happened wouldn't spoil him and his hope of new home.

last night I gave him a sooth warm bath because he had some dried blood over him, and was smelly when I got him - wow, in despite what happened, he did marvelously great.

he's all dry and clean now, snuggling up curled in his purple bed. he is doing well at his expectation today and still a sweetheart! he would let me rub his belly, acts like he never gets enough of it.

I was dumbfounded and felt so stupid for thinking I'd be a good meowmie. there's not much I could tell or reassure this cat that it will never happen again. I wish I'd take this all away with magic wand and just want to hold him all night. it wasn't kid's fault either, the boy accidentally opened the door when friend was in the kitchen and he got out.

Thats Too Bad That He Had Such A Rough Start As Your Cat, But We Know That Things Will Be A Lot Better From Now On.

He sounds like he is on the mend, and with the bath can bond even closer to you.

Accidents happen...give that sweetie a tummy rub for me! We'll wait til he fluffs up again before a picture.

Oh Gina... the poor little guy. And what a shock for you.

It sounds like he is on the mend, especially after that wonderful bath. I'm sure all the nursing and attention and TLC you are giving him are reassuring him that he's safe now.

We are all sending our prayers and healing energies and encouragement and good wishes to him (and you and the rest of the Ark too).

Love, tummy-rubs, and purrs,
Pat, Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, and of course Priscilla Angel
