Ambush at Home

Poor kitty spent the weekend at the vet’s. He perked up a little when I came to pick him up. He had been huddling in the back of his “apartment” at the vet’s. He had a towel to sleep on and plenty of space. He was shaking. The vet helped me give him the evening insulin injection (2 units). He did very well.

When we pulled into the driveway, he was keen to get out of his carrier and roam around. He immediately went upstaurs and laid down in his comfort zone spot. He pretty much stayed there all evening. When I went to bed, I had to pick him up and place him on the bed (he normally sleeps next to me). He gradually started purring and seemed content. He was still next to me in the morning.

I gave him his first injection this morning. He did not want to come downstars, even when I opened the wet food can and tapped on it. Stella came down, but not Ambush. I had to go upstairs, show him the yummy wet food, and carry him down. He ate pretty well — and was a perfect gentleman when I gave him the shot.

I’m a little concerned that he didn’t come down. I’ll check on him again tonight instead of going out to the barn after work.

    Something strange is happening with Basette’s eyes. This evening her pupils looked completely dilated. Even when I picked her up and looked at her eyes in bright light, the pupils didn’t respond. She isn’t looking directly at me. She looks in my direction, but never meets my gaze, unlike my other kitties. This isn’t right….

    The Back Yard Kitties(tm) are gradually getting accustomed to me. Last night, I discovered that they are spending time at my back porch on the patio. This is right up against the house. (Luckily they don’t get into the trash or anything.) Today was the first time they ever ventured out when I was nearby….

    Remember the momma kitty and kittens behind my house in July? Well, the momma kitty has been adopted by my neighbor, Shelley. I had no idea until my other neighbor, Nancy, went door-to-door to find out who the black and white momma kitty belonged to. I had made an appointment with the free spay service…

    So in the middle of all of the stuff in the house, a small point of fun: four kittens romping in the back yard. Imagine my surprise to look out the back window and find a mamma kitty with four 6-8 week old kittens. I’m going to have to contact the Knox Feral Cat rescue….
