Louis almost dies, and gives us the finger
Louis the Bengal came stumbling into our kitchen around 1AM, while we
were on the phone with the clinic regarding our resident teen girl's acute illness. He crept in, lowing, with his tail between his legs. Any touch made him growl with that frightening sub-sonic Bengal growl. We took him to the emergency clinic. No obstructions, but his temperature was 105.5, and he was clearly in pain (usually cats will hide discomfort, but Louis was howling and obviously uncomfortable). The emergency vet prescribed antibiotics, and told us to see our vet, which we did the next day. He did a full blood work-up and x-ray. No blockages, no obvious infections. He told me that cats' fevers can spike up with trauma, and I thought maybe he'd had a scrape with our resident bitch female. He added an anti-inflammatory to Louis' prescription. That night, Louis seemed better. We noticed that night that he had a large lump in his lower hind-quarters. The vet said it may have been a migration of the sub-cutaneous saline injection, given to rehydrate him in reaction to his fever. The lump stayed for days, and after some time we could feel a wound at the top of it. The lump shrank, and Louis seemed happy, though he had that clump of matted fur on his flank. A few days ago, I sat down at my laptop, and found a lump of fur and flesh on the keyboard. The lump had shrunk, and Louis had apparently bitten off the scab and left it on my workspace, perhaps saying "daddy, I'm better now!". We love all our cats. We feel a special responsibility to Louis since we bought him from a breeder, and he's wound up having a very unusual personality. He doesn't have Tiger's moggie genes to toughen him up against illness - so he's a special kitty. I still feel grateful that we bought him, instead of a clueless family looking for a trophy cat.
