Purrs for a good operation outcome welcome...
At this very moment my tomcat 'Mohrchen' is operated on his left eye.
One week ago the eyeball was destroyed due to a nasty cat flu. Today the whole eye has to removed. I have already had a cat which lost one eye, I know they can really have a good life after that, even with only one eye. I am asking for purrs that the OP will go well. That he will wake up good from the deep anaesthesia which is required and that in the days to come he will manage well and have a fast recovery. sigh I can't help worrying though I deep down know that all will be good. Mohrchen is about 8 years old, originally owned by my 76 year old neighbour lady. He decided to move over to me, seems it got too crowded over there. He is one of the coolest, calmest and most relaxed cats I've ever met. And so friendly to everyone. A real personality. Other cats don't bother him, even if they sniff at him or try to peeve him. (peeve him? right for to annoy?) He is the Boss of the 250-soul village I live in. His job is to wander restlessly through the whole village, fighting the other tomcats into submission. So he looks - battered.g But king! He is huge, all muscles, mostly black with a white chest and white socks. He will be a tremendoulsy nice looking black pirate after all has healed. And he will remind me a bit of Nanny Ogg`s "Greebo" then. So, at the moment purrs for his health and my nerves are needed and welcome. The conception of an eye removed makes me shudder. I would take half of his pain if I could. Half him, half me, that seems fair. In two hours I can get him from the doc. What a year. love Bettina |

welcome. The conception of an eye removed makes me shudder. I would take half of his pain if I could. Half him, half me, that seems fair. In two hours I can get him from the doc. What a year. love Bettina Bettina, we're sending our best purrs for Mohrchen (and for you). I can appreciate how cats sometimes move from one human house to another. That's how my grandmother ended up with Samantha cat (RB). Samantha was a beautiful Siamese girl, who was originally living with a woman a few houses down from my grandmother. She used to wander the neighborhood visiting and doing whatever cats do. She would occasionally come visit with my grandmother, and her visits started lasting longer and longer. Finally one day she just stopped going to her former human's house at all. She stayed with my grandmother until my grandmother passed away, then when my brother moved into the house Samantha lived with him until she passed away. For all the years she lived in that house, she ruled it with a velvet paw. Dan |

When new neighbors move in, we have to make a point of letting them know that yes she does have a home. She is just very sociable. Jo |

I don`t know what it is about my cats. Every neutering or spaying or operation with an anaesthesia the doc tells me t hey would need hours to recover and sleep the first hours at home. Not with my cats - everyone was awake the moment I entered the house, climbed out of the carrier and staggered at first(!) to the kitchen checking if there was some food. I am sure, with a dizzy head my cats find a bowl full of food the only consistent landmark in their universe.g After checking on the food, they stagger throughthe roooms and sniff all their corners. Then they take a rest, not a nap, on the sofa or in front of the oven. Same here with Mohrchen - the doc ( in this case a specialist, not our normal one) swore Mohrchen would sleep through the night. Hah!!! First thing he demanded at home was something to eat, I gave him two bites, as he hadn`t had anything since Wednesday evening. Munched it down, staggered through the rooms, trying to get rid of that damned collar. Didn't succeed. Stood in front of the barred cat flap, wanted out. Didn`t succeed. Puked the two bites in the plastic collar.sigh I ended up taking the collar from him to clean it - who wants to sniff the whole day his own puke. So I had to clean it. Next thing I see is Mohrchen scratching with one of his hind legs directly on the freshly sewn eye - operation area. Put the collar back on - detect that one of the flat links to close the collar was broken.sigh Called my doc to ask if he had one of those for me. Doc was on the way leaving for an evening class. Told me to come, his friend would give me a collar. Put Mohrchen back in the carrier (with the plastic collar on) to keep him safe, as there is nobody to watch over him when I am away. Got in the car, drove there got a plastic collar (biggest cat size), looked sort of small. Drove home, opened the carrier to detect that Mohrchen had got rid of that damn collar, close inspection - eye wound still ok. (puh) Take his collar and find out the new one is too small, would have suffocated him. The other vet must have choosen the smallest dog size, as Mohrchen has a broad neck. Calling Doc, only answering machine on. Horror rising. Put Mohrchen back into the carrier - hoping that therin he is not able to scratch his eye with his hind leg. Get into my car hoping that the Docs friend is still at home and knows where to find the bigger collars and that he won`t be angry with me. Then I get there guy opens the door and is so friendly, searches for the right size collar and finds it. Juhee! If that wouldn`t have happened I would have had to ask all Vets in the area at 19 h pm for that collar, as he must wear one as I can*t risk him scratching the wound open. Back home - Mohrchen is even more awake, means not amused as I try to put on the new collar. But - I succeed. There are times where mankind has to succeed.g Now he is unhappy like hell, and I know that he must wear this thing 10 days long. Wow thats a lot for my nerves seing him 10 days hopelesly unhappy. But there`s no other way. I put water in front of him. And I put a cat toilet in the room. Which he takes as an insult as he is a free tomcat and never, ever peed inside a house.g Oh god where will that end. Ah yes - the other seven or eight cats around are also not amused, finding their cat flap closed. Finding the study window closed. Every time I open the window for someone to come in, Mohrchen hopefully rises his head just to find my hand there to push it gently down. Of course he is lieing on the chest in front of the window. You know, sounds funny but isn`t for the involved. Alas - tomorrow he is allowed to eat again. But he isn`t allowed to go out for 10 days. Oho. Thank you all very much for your purrs and thoughts. He is ok. I have pain reliever for him. Doc states he has only a slight damp feeling and not really real pain. He is only pi**ed cause his life changed for the worse and he doesn`t understand why I do that to him.sigh Thanks again. He will recover. love Bettina |
