Home again home again
Jan. 31st, 2011 05:13 pm ...for both me and the pusscat.
Harley returned home on Friday, less some patches of shaved fur, and Robert stayed in to care for Madam over the weekend while I went to Dance moot.
She is rapidly returning to her usual self - snoozing on favourite spots, surveying the close to track other kitty activities, and heading out on patrol. When I called on Sunday she's headed out the door mid-morning, and still wasn't back in past noon. We're hoping the morning and evening crazies come back, where she bounces off the furniture dying to chase something.
It was sooo good to hear her purr when I got home!
The main concern now is that she's noticeably thinner. She's a petite cat, and now weighs 3kg, down from 3.25 - which from her perspective is 10% of her bodyweight - so her back and hips look bony to me, and she feels bony when you stroke her. She didn't have a lot of weight to spare to start with. (Jeez, shell out hundreds of pounds and get less cat back - not even an upgrade...)
She seems to consider food as fuel, rather than entertainment (not a boredom eater), and doesn't seem troubled by missing meals - we're the ones worried about her weight.
Vet says feed her anything that appeals to her - whatever (meat) works to fill her out is ok. I'm hoping Robert the creative cook can come up with something!
