Hahah, I'm laughing at the part about Simba being unhappy that the torturer is back ... yeah, that's most likely it. That and the fact that the torturer also SMELLS now. LOL!
Today Snickers was SOOO much more animated. We all noticed it. He opened the bathroom door (using the handle/latch) and pulled the heater grate completely off the wall. Yep, Snickers is back! We usually have to lock that and several other doors because it's the only way to keep him out! These doors have the latches that you just push down instead of knobs that you turn. Then when I went to get ice and water from my fridge door, he jumped onto the top of the fridge and laid there, rolling and squirming while I did this ... just like the old days, I have no idea why. He makes every jump that he tries, so he is now strong enough to do things he wasn't able to do a week ago. His antibiotics were used up today and he has not sneezed at all so all signs of his upper respiratory infection are gone.
If I had to say what's really different about him now is ... he always loved to look out the windows at birds and squirrels but now he is OBSESSED with it. I don't know if he caught himself some prey when he was out, but he definitely views them differently now so at the very least, he got a much closer look at them outside during his little vacation. Other than that, I'd say he is almost 100% back to his old self, thank God. I missed him SO much and worried incessantly about what happened to him, and I find myself loving his funny little quirks now, when before it would wear on me that he was such an unyielding prankster. Even when we didn't think he was on our minds for a short time during that 12 days, we would catch ourselves looking out windows and watching weather reports and having nightmares, and we all felt rather physically sick during that time from stress, lack of sleep, and worry. These little pets sure do become part of the family and have no idea the impact they have on our lives. I'm still pinching myself to make sure this really happened and we really have him back!
