Smudge has been at the V-E-T's since Tuesday. They started him on the SubQ fluids to see if his levels would go down. I was very upset on Tuesday after hearing from my wife how forelorn and subdued Smudge was in his cage. But he appears to have regained his spunk. I think it was due to the fact that he got a roommate who going through the same thing he is, but she is a lot older, 17 years old in fact. From what my wife tells me they talk to each other so I will chalk some of Smudge's depression due to the fact that he was lonely.
The V-E-T technicians at Dr. Nick's have discovered what a charmer SMudge can be once he gets to know someone. My Wife says that they come in to the holding area and talk and coo to him. He responds with his sweet little chrip and perks up when ever he hears his name. They even call him Smudgie Bear.
He is coming home, so I will get to spend some time with him on a short turnaround. But then I will be home for a long stretch, so I can build up my snuggle quotient with him.
I took the picture above right before I left. Just in case...
Smudge is truly handsome - and it looks like he knows it too! - Meezer Mom
ReplyDeleteIt's always best to haf a roommate in the hospital - so that you can haf tv volume wars and play wif the curtain between the beds - what? Oh, not at the v-e-t? well, it's nice to haf a roommate anyway to talk to. - Miles
What a beautiful picture! We agree with Meezer Mom - he should know what a handsome kitty he is!
ReplyDeleteVery glad to hear that he's perkin' up a bit - companionship can be a good thing. He probably misses his family lotz too, so will feel even better when he gets home!

That's an *excuuuuse me* look if we efur saw one. Get better Smudge! You are such a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThey're calling him "Smudgie Bear" at the v-e-t's office? From looking at his picture, we can see why. Although he looks so dignified sitting in the hallway there.
