You would love him, he's really been a blessing since he "picked me" as a kitten, and insisted he was staying in my life. No other cat travelled as many thousands of miles with me going to shows as he did - we had lots of hotel room meals together, and many interesting experiences..it really forged the bond even deeper.

Pat, I've had so little time on TCS - I didn't know this was going on! Poor little guy! He sounds so loving and like he's a little fighter. You'll get through this together, and with you on his side, he's one lucky guy. It sounds like you've got an incredible bond - he's sure got a reason to fight all of this! I just sent up a prayer that not only should Tyler get well soon, but that he'll get his eyesight back in his left eye too.

Thanks Laurie...today we begin him on a low dose of med for his blood pressure, and take him in for a quick check of his bp at our regular vet's on Monday. He will be re-examined for his eye in 3 weeks at the specialists, I'll post more after that apt., and if anything changes in the mean time.

We really do have a bond...in his litter, I was in love, madly, with his brother, planned to show him, named him etc., and due to a twist of fate, Tyler was the kitten I kept to show. I cried, horribly, in public the day I sold his brother at a show (to a wonderful vet home), but haven't regretted keeping Tyler since. I have pix of Tyler as a kitten beaming/smiling up at me...who knows why, he just decided he really loved me from a very, very young age.

Aloof with all other kitties (except Joshua the bumblecurl, who he got along well with), it even took him time to warm up to DH who is just a big warm cat guy with a beard that the cats love to groom

Now I think he adores my dh

and realizes it is much more fun to be loved by two humans, than one.
