Help - did I hurt Otis UPDATE
Hi the
Thank you all for your concern. I felt just nauseated after doing that to Otis. He appears to be totally completely fine. In fact, the little monster got up at 3 AM and raced around the house, running over our heads, clawing at the window screen, and creating his usual scene. I never did get back to sleep. I've prodded him all over and there are no spots that seem to cause him discomfort so I'm going to leave it for a some more time. I'll keep poking him to make sure that something doesn't develop. He's just so ridiculously healthy looking and acting that I don't really want to take him into TED. Thank you all for worrying about him with me!

ACHHHHHHHHHHH! I mixed my verb tenses.
The paragraph should read: He appears to be totally completely fine. In fact, the little monster got up at 3 AM and raced around the house, ran over our heads, clawed at the window screen, and created his usual scene. I never did get back to sleep.

I'm glad to hear it, but not terribly surprised. Cats are both tough and
resilient. Joy "Susan M" smawdsley remove @shaw.ca wrote in message news:7xZ%d.755419$Xk.293517@pd7tw3no... ACHHHHHHHHHHH! I mixed my verb tenses.

Please forgive me. I had no idea how difficult he was, and yes, kudos to you for tolerating it. Sorry, Susan. Tweed |

LOL - thanks Christina. No worries. He's a bit of an outlier but you're
right that he has to have some limits. Problem is that we physically didn't have the ability to get enough space between us and him when he was removed from the bedroom before this new house. He slept in the basement lastnight since we're so zonked and we closed both doors so could only hear part of it. When my husband got up at 5 AM to go to work, he let Otis up. He charged around for a while, discovered the heat was *way* down for the night and immediately snuggled under the covers until 7:30 AM. He just *so* loves to be with his people :-) This is a classic Otis story from the rpca archives: http://groups.google.ca/groups?q=Sus...com&rn um=567 Enjoy!

They manage to come out of what would seem like terrible accidents without a scratch. So glad to hear otis is doing well. Good idea to keep an eye on him though. -- Marina, Frank, Nikki, and coming soon: Mere! marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

Good idea to keep an eye on him though. Thanks Marina! He actually started purring while I was prodding him and did the elevator butt thing so I think he's okay. I will keep watching him though. I keep thinking about this nine lives things though - he's used up six that I know about - yikes! I was thinking of Frank and Otis last night when I was reading The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats. He talks about how quickly cats go feral when they get lost or leave their homes. I remember you describing how Frank switched back to housecat after you got the harness on after he was lost and I remember the look in Otis' eyes when I sweet talked him after he was lost. It was like something coming back to light from a distant past. *really* off this topic, I know. Susan M Otis and Chester |
