While I am trying to give the other cats their due –
Josie and Renn seemed sentenced to obscurity by their good health – some of the
beasts continue to intrude into my blog by virtue of their cuteness.
Raleigh is battling a cold right now. He is of course
susceptible to illness because of his FIV. As well, he is being given
Prednisolone, which, I believe, further depresses immunity. Peachy is currently
blowing bubbles with his nose, and his left eye, the goopy running of which
diminished considerably in recent weeks, has begun extruding again. I am not
too worried, as colds will probably often assault someone in his condition. I
will nevertheless keep watch on his symptoms.
But something else I noticed was his over-bite. Look at
that adorable little face. He’s like a little boy perpetually biting his lip,
hoping he will be liked. Well, he must have found an appreciative place to stay
while awaiting his permanent home: he fell asleep on my lap, and I couldn’t
move to chase Parker off the kitchen counter when the latter took advantage of
my indisposition to look there for food. I couldn’t even yell at the
orange-boy, for fear of waking Raleigh.
You don’t think they planned that, do you?
Well, anyway, look at that face…
That face is very precious to many of us. ♥
ReplyDeleteYes, I think they planned that, btw. :-)
You betcha they planned it. A cat’s generalship would put Napoleon and Grant to shame.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that overbite!
I adore him. Love him to bits!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of Raleigh. He's sooo cute! I know I tend to over-react when an animal gets sick, but, John, I would give the vet a call to see if any treatment is needed for his cold. With Raleigh's weakened immune system and his being on prednisilone, you don't want a cold to develop into something more serious. And keep in mind with Christmas coming, it might be difficult to get a vet if you should need one.
ReplyDeleteRaleigh's veterinary is on holiday now, but I am in communication with him via text-message. I've told him about Raleigh's cold and asked if anything should be given or done.
DeleteGreat! Thank you for your update!
DeleteAww...sweet Raleigh! The kitties say well done Parker, I suspect he found nothing there but you can't fault a cat for trying.

Raleigh is beyond adorable, and I hope he's feeling better now!
