I've not been posting because I've had a temporary 4th cat. Smokey my dad's barn cat was injured and has come to stay with me while he heals. This is an older picture of him. He used to be rather feral but in his old age he's mellowed quiet a bit so he seems to be doing ok inside. The windows freak him out a bit since they front the back yard so he sees the dogs a lot. I think he's worried they can come get him so he's spent a lot of time in his crate, which is ok and is stuff full of soft warm blankets for him to lay on while he heals.
I can tell he's feeling some better today because he did not want to take his pill and he let me know in no uncertain fashion that he didn't. Lots of growling and general difficulty but he finally took it, which was good because I had to hoof it to work. It's good to have him feel up to making that much of a fuss. He was a rather sick kitty just a few days ago so I can at least tell that the medicine is working.
He'll probably be staying for at least a week, possibly longer depending on how he is healing. he had 8 days of medicine to take but he has a gash so until that heals he can't go outside and here he has the company of his kitty friends. Cali and Suki remembered him. Casper of course did not but there's just been some hissing and that's about it.
