It’s been a stressful few days. Our cat was admitted to vet hospital on Monday with acute urinary retention. He had an operation today to remove stones from his bladder, and in the process they found other issues. Long story short, it doesn’t look good for him in the longer term, assuming he makes it through the night and home tomorrow, as is hoped.
He arrived as a stray almost exactly 9years ago, and has lived the life of Riley with us. On his X-ray this week, the vet tells me there are old fractures of pelvis and hip, so the poor lad had been through it by the time he came to us.
We tried very hard to make him a house cat, but he’s always retained a semi feral reluctance to get too close.
Just hoping we can get him home tomorrow, so that he can live out his days in peace, and in surroundings he’s at least familiar with.
