Abelard may be sick by
Pat[_4_]
He might need to see TED in the morning. His skin suddenly erupted really
bad, it was raw and oozing all over his lower abdomen, inner back legs and
bottom of tail. I never saw anything like it... I wanted to get a pic but
the battery in Dave's cam was down. While it was recharging, we applied a...

Abelard MIA by
Pat
He's been out for over 24 hours. This is the first time he's stayed out all
night since the weather turned crisp. He doesn't have a thick fur coat and
gets cold easily.
I went out and called around for him before I went to bed last night, and
figured I'd find him on the sofa this morning as usual,...

Abelard needs help by
Pat[_3_]
He had a seizure. I could feel it was coming. It was similar to the
one in May '08 but shorter. He peed involuntarily, his legs went
stiff, and he cried out several times. He's resting comfortably now. I
am about to leave with him for the all-night vet emergency in
Springfield, where he will likely...

Abelard News by
Pat
He's been sticking to me like glue for the last couple of weeks as I've been
gradually getting ready to leave on my trip south. Every night he's been
under the covers right up next to my stomach where he stays until I get up
in the morning, and the rest of the time he's always within a few feet...

Abelard reaches normal weight by
Pat
Abelard's weight has finally gone up to what it is supposed to be normal for
an aduly Aby male: 9 lbs. If he would put on one more pound I would feel
better about his weight, because he seems to lose it too easily, and he
still looks thin to me, but this is a vast improvement from the 7.5 lbs....

Abelard Saturday by
Pat[_2_]
He spent the night isolated in the bathroom with no light. Had a pill @ 10
PM and I made him swallow some tuna juice from a spoon tipped into his
mouth. He was not amused.
First thing this morning he used the litterbox - the poo was not much, dark
and very loose. I assume the dark color is from...

Abelard Says Yes by
Pat
Mom asked me to follow up on all the offers of help for my vet care. She's
been taking me and my friends to the same clinic we went to last Monday for
five years, but since we've not had to go there often, I don't know if it
can be rightly said that we have a long-standing relationship with...

Abelard steals the meat by
Pat[_3_]
I was cutting up a piece of meat - part of a buffalo's leg - to
separate it from the bone which I want to use for soup stock. I was
going to grind up the meat and use it in a home-made catfood recipe,
but I first sliced up some little bits to toss as treats to the feline
hoard gathered at my...

Abelard still not home by
Pat
I'm going out again to walk around and call him.
Baby Eyes has been acting very concerned, too. For the last week or so she
has been mothering him a lot and it's quite clear that she misses him. She
has been sticking close to me all day. She comes running as if by ESP
whenever I start thinking of...

Abelard still sick, seeing TED today by
Pat
He vomited two more times yesterday, so we're off to see TED in about an
hour. Will post with update later. He's quit playing even though the weather
has cooled. Hopes are high.... I'm taking a poop sample with us.

Abelard the Hellion by
Pat
Abelard's whole character has gradually changed since the move. I'm not
complaining, I had wished he would play more with the other cats, but he
just came tearing into the living room, dragging the remains of my bag of
nutritional yeast, which I use as a vegetarian substitute for parmesan
cheese....

Abelard the Hellion, Part II by
Pat
What has gotten into Abelard? That is the burning question of the day....
He's been following Lily around and trying to get her to pay attention to
him, and she's having none of it, growling and trying to hide everywhere.
She squeezes herself under the sofa as he stands with a raised paw,...

Abelard the Tough Guy - hahahahaha!! by
Pat
Oh how I wish I had this on video to share with you all!
I've been doing some work at the computer, not really watching the cat show
very closely, but catching a glimpse here and there. This evening it's been
mostly Eli and Beatrice wrestling, but a while ago Abelard and Billy got
into it.
When I...

Abelard To Be Grounded by
Pat
If he shows up, that's it!!!
I can't take his disappearing acts anymore. He left in the middle of the
night last night and I spent about 3 hours searching for him this evening,
worrying half to death.
He ordinarily returns by no later than midnight. Not tonight.
And meowmie cannot sleep.

Abelard to TED for Dental 04/09/09 by
Pat[_3_]
He'll be dropped off at TED's @ 8 AM. If you can spare a few purrs for
an uneventful day, we would appreciate this very much.
Update on the outcome will appear in this thread later on.

Abelard Today by
Pat[_2_]
I left him in his bed for the night with a litterbox next to it. This
morning I found him in the room with the rest of the litterboxes, one of
which sported a long unburied poop which I assume was his, and a few wet
spots on the floor. He must have fallen over into one of them because his
whole...

Abelard Update by
Pat[_2_]
It's still touch-and-go with the Aby cat.
He's getting around much better, but he seems to have a "head cold" and it's
become all but impossible to get anything into his stomach. I've never seen
anything like the behavior he's exhibiting. There's no way to get a pill
into him now. Just...

Abelard used the litterbox! by
Pat[_2_]
First time in months he's actually peed INside of a litterbox! It was 100%
fresh, just washed out and refilled with clean litter. Yesterday he used
another 100% fresh box to poop, then got out and peed on the floor right
next to it. Apparently these boxes are no good at all after they've been...

Abelard walked into a wading pool by
Pat[_4_]
He was in the backyard where I had set up a small wading pool to hold rain
water - of which we've received an abundance in the past week - and he just
calmly high-stepped over the side of the pool into water up to his chest,
and stood there for a while.

Abelard was bitten or stung by
Pat
He went outside for a short time this morning and when he came back the area
under the lower jaw was swollen up so much that he looked like a pelican.
I've seen many a swollen cat/dog face but never anything like this. It was
funny!
I was going to take a picture when I finished my horse chores but...
