Max - Recovery - Week Two

Max has made a remarkable recovery. He went for a check up at the Vet's on Friday and was told that he can now come out of the cage and roam the house as normal. He walks well, although still looks a little drunk. However, he managed to navigate the stairs in both directions which is very good. He is expected to make further improvements over the coming weeks/months but in all he is in very much better shape :)

Max - Recovery - Week One

Max has been home since Sunday and is already starting to show signs of improvement. X-rays showed that nothing was broken but the vet tells us that he must have suffered a blunt force trauma - which might tie in with the graze he has on the right shoulder.

He is still massively weak on his right side but for the first time today is starting to move his damaged legs. This footage was taken this morning and left K and I in tears of joy. It appears that he still has some use of his damaged legs and we can only massively hope that this rate of recovery continues.

Cat in the bin

Max has taken to sleeping (all day) in my study as I work. I think it is because Rasmus hasn't figured out the aluminium ladder yet. Anyway, I took this pic the other day when I found him buried under waste paper in his favourite spot in my bin!

Rasmus - escapes surgery...

The b****y cat. He was due in today for neutering. We kept him in overnight and removed all food. This morning we let him out to pee and he came straight back thinking it was breakfast time. All good so far. Anyway - we were not going to give him breakfast and it was too early to go to the vets so we mulled around tidying. I went outside and he followed which was fine because at this point he was just after food and we figured he'll stick around. However, after 5 mins he got bored meowing for food and bolted into next door's garden and would not come back. Even teh magic food whistle was not working. 15 mins later he returned but at this point we could not guarantee he had not eaten anything..... So, we had to cancel the vet visist. A lucky escape... ...for now!!!
