shinobi, from sickly baby to gorgeous young man!

when we got shinobi last november as a friend for milo, he came to us with severe conjunctivitus caused by cat flu. for the first couple of months, i was making weekly then fortnightly visits as his temperature also refused to go down although his eyes healed quite quickly.

here's my brave little soldier a few days after we brought him home. sorry about the pic quality but you can just see his poorly eyes.



and here he is now. a gleaming, sleek bundle of naughtiness! erm, who loves his sleep.

He is beyond gorgeous!

Awww bless his heart He has grown up to be a handsome, healthy boy as well

What a sleek gorgeous young man he is!

How did you fix his eyes? He certainly IS sleek!

love those little black boy-kitties!!!

He's a handsome boy, and his coat is so shiny! Definitely a picture of health

he had to have antibiotic drops in them for 7 days. although the worst of the infection cleared up pretty quickly he did have 'gunk' in them for a long time, possibly 2 months. my dh was very worried that it would affect his sight but thankfully, it hasn't. the vet also warned that it could return if he underwent any stress. i'm doing my best to ensure that never happens, so far so good!

thanks everyone for your kind comments, he is a gorgeous boy and i am very lucky to have him!

saying that, he is currently playing with my pot plant!

Awww he is so cute. I am glad you were able to nurse him back to health.

He's fantastic! I love black kitties and owned one for 13 1/2 years.
