Wink is home, Eduardo is not

2005-09-29 Thread Julie Johnson
Hi Everyone,

Wink came home last night and looks like quite the little Franken-kitty! She wouldn't eat at the vet and wouldn't eat at home. She just wanted to say in her carrier on the fluffy blanket and have us pet her. She was up this morning when I got up and did eat a bit. My husband is on vacation and she was sitting on his lap rubbing her little head on the paper when I left, apparently as happy as a little clam! The side of her face is all shaved and stitched as is the top of her head because they needed to drain there, too. The biopsies won't be back until next week, so we just want to get her eating and keep her cozy.

My sort-of-feral Eduardo has been outside with the outside cats this summer. He's very passive and he has a lot of trouble with Tramp who is a big bully. He was doing well in the little zone he had carved out for himself, but he hasn't been home in over a week. I think it was he who ran from a cat fight I broke up (naturally Tramp was involved) but I couldn't really see; all I saw was a black behind running. My neighbor claims she's seen him in the bushes, but he is not coming when I call him (we had reached the point where he would) and I have not seen him. I put all the outside cats in the garage yesterday and today so I'm hoping, hoping that he feesl safe enough to come home. I miss him so. I can't stand having outside cats; I'm not looking forward to the heating bill, but I will be delighted when the weather turns cold enough that they don't want to leave their beds by the furnace.

All your good thoughts and wishes are so appreciated; it means so much to me to have you all!!!

Here is hoping that Eduardo comes back soon and that Wink remains "happy as a clam".

Wonderful that your husband has taken his vacation to be home with Wink, 
Julie! (wink!)
Glad 
to hear she's getting over yesterday's trauma; hope, hope, hope the results are 
good ones.
And SO hope too that Eduardo feels safe to return home 
soon.Especially since the little guy has become 
so trusting of you---from all you say it seems his socialization has taken a 
quantum leap from the days when he would single-pawedly bust out of his room 
througha fortified window. I'm sure everyone 
who knows Eduardo's history particularly joins me in wishing him a safe and 
speedy return to "mom."
Also 
sendingtruckloads of positive healing vibes for Wink's speedy diagnosis 
and recovery.
hugs 
to you and your furballs, Kerry
(Boy, 
do I relate to your "I can't stand having outside cats" line. None of mine get 
to go out now--I just have to live with the feelings of 
guilt.)

Thanks so much, Kerry. Eduardo had become SO much better (since his "jailbreak" days!) he even let me pick him up outside. He was doing very well until we had some thunderstorms and I have a feeling that there was some unpleasantness on the porch where they were all sheltered when I got homeThe cats who do go outside are those who have unilaterally refused to be kept inside (except when the weather is bad, of course!), and although they don't go to the extremes that Eduardo did, they will take any opportunity to make a run for the door. All the other cats have never looked back once they settled onto the sofa! There are a couple who show slight interest and I do feel somewhat guilty sometimes, but I've learned to live with it!"Friends" fans will rembember Joey's line, "Inside good. Outside bad". That's what I tell them!!!

Yep, hubby started his vacation early and the kitties are delighted that they have somebody to join their afternoon nap!

Hugs, Julie
