Temperature down to 39 (102), good appetite and drinking water from the bowl. Getting impatient and wanting to go 'walk-about'. Looking good.
Thanks everybody for the support.
His temperature is down from 41°C (106°F) on Friday to 39.5 (103) today, and he's a lot grumpier about going to the vet. The food is going/staying down. Raised it from 30 to 40 ml, 5x a day. Seems to be ok. He sniffed his bowl this afternoon, so we'll see. Back to the vet tomorrow.
Well, the food went down - and stayed down, which is another good sign. Score: only 10 scratches, so quite good :-). He emerged from the dog-box during the night where he's been hiding, (we have a liberal, equal-rights, multi-kulti house here), and slept completely stretched out on his bed...

Back from the vet. The news was optimistically positive. The lungs are sounding clearer.

Re feeding: I discovered that here the only baby-food available in glass bottles is chocolate...
He was at the vet again yesterday (we'll be going again this morning), got a vitamin shot, a big fluid shot (here they call it 'The camels hump' :-). At home he's getting his anti-biotics 3 x daily.
The baby food suggestion sounds good, as well as the steam room (it's very dry here - North...
He had a temperature (we'll check that again today). Food wise, he refuses everything, tinned food, tuna, sardines, milk, ham, turkey - was not even interested in the fresh-fish delivery just now.

We have a 5 month old 'street cat', (we got him at 6 weeks from a friend). Monday night he went out on the town for the first time. Tuesday morning he was at the door looking a little dishevelled and breating heavily. We thought that he was in shock after a difficult night.
He calmed down during...
