Hey everyone! I just thought I'd update on Ed since I disappeared for a while. He hasn't been scratching himself since I got him the Advantage. I take it that this means his flea problem is taken care of. I have some pictures I'm going to attach to the end of this. I think he's grown and filled out a little more. I got him a red collar with a bell on it but he hated the bell and I felt like it was mean so I cut it off. He doesn't need a bell because he doesn't even like to go into hiding so he's always easy to find. He's recently started to play a lot more and I think it is because he's more comfortable here and I introduced catnip into his life. He likes to charge from one end of the house to the other, he plays with random things that might have fallen onto the floor like bottle caps and paper. He uses is scratching post. He still uses the couch sometimes, but the couches are from a thrift store anyway. He loves music! We like to play old records on a record player we have and he sits in front of the speakers and just stares at them. When my roommate plays guitar he comes and sits in front of the amplifier and falls asleep. He also watches TV sometimes. He's so lovable and quirky and we love him! He often gets his claws stuck to things and doesn't seem to know how to get unattached. Is this normal with older kittens? He sometimes pulls his scratching post down on top of him or gets caught in weird positions with his feet as if he were playing twister.
ALSO, I'm very concerned because after his Amoxicillin he wasn't 100% non-sniffly so I got him a step up of antibiotics that began with a C and it was a white liquid... That's finished and he's still not better. He's better while he's on the antibiotics but not COMPLETELY better. Now that he's been off the antibiotics he's getting a little worse. He has discharge from one eye and he's still sneezing and he breathes really loud at times. I'm going to make a second vet's appointment but I'm scared. My mom said something about there's a virus where cats are just sniffly all the time and meds are expensive? I don't know. His ears are also really dirty! So maybe I'll ask the vet if she can clean them.
Well besides his sinus infections and his dirty ears he's full of good things and everyone who meets him seems to like him! He seems to like to be around people too. He follows me around sometimes, begs for treats when I'm in the kitchen (I always gave him chicken with his medicine so now he's spoiled). He doesn't like treats from the grocery store. I got 3 different types and he will NOT eat them He's picky.
He also meows back when you meow at him. His meow is high pitched and cute. He also likes to watch squirrels out our kitchen window.
And those are some fun facts about Ed. haha. Here's some pictures of him that I took today.
