CODY at home....finally

The picture his mum saw at FB that got him his own home 3.5 years ago

Cody looking at us from a safe distance

 He came to sniff at us some of the time.

 His mum tried to get him to sit with us as we were his previous caregivers when he was a commcat, but we knew knew everyone should take it slow as he might not want to remember his life then as well. he stayed here for a bit.

 And was up here, looking at us from a safe distance. We didn't want to make a fuss and even when he was a commcat, he was an alpha and didnt like fussing as well.

He finally decided we were ok and sat with us for a few minutes.

The last week of December has not been kind to Cody (who was adopted by Constance 3.5 years ago). His mum found him early one morning, about 4 ish am, unable to walk. Horrified she brought down his carrier and he immediately crawled into it without being carried inside. She knew right then that he was in a serious state and brought him to the specialist vets. After investigations, they found blood clots in his kidneys and veins. He was given a thinner and the next day fortunately the clots resolved itself but he was hospitalised for the week. They found an enlarged heart. He was not eating much. 

His blood tests showed that his kidneys were fine and there was nothing else that was wrong so his mum brought him home with medication, a blood thinner and diuretics. His mum is still waiting for his sonagram to bring him for a second opinion. 

He has now begun eating again, now that he has been home for about 2 weeks and is re-learning how to interact with his fursister Halley and his human brother. 

We visited him at his home yesterday and he looked very well, albeit thinner. He used to have muscles and now we could feel his bones much more clearly. His mum is trying to fatten him up again.  He looked really well and was walking about the house. He also showed us that he could eat a lot more as he had his 2nd dinner when we were there. Although his doctors could not tell us how long he will stay with us, with his heart problems, both human and cats are just taking it slow. 

JIAYOU CODY!!

Then and Now Sunday

Today we thought we will show where our commcats are with their adopted families. At present we have 2 cats.

This is Cody aka Jeffrey. He was adopted by Constance in 2015 when he was already about 10 years old.

This is Cody with his 3 month old brother. His mom Constance waited until his brother was about 3 before introducing them. Cody is a cool big brother and loves his little brother very much.

This is Ren who came to us at about 4 weeks. She boarded with one of our friends and went for a trial adoption in the middle of August. The trial, which was supposed to be for only 2 weeks stretched to 1.5 months. I was afraid they would decide that she was not for them as she would be heartbroken but last Friday, they signed the adoption papers. Hurray and congrats Ren and Cody.

Cody on Monday

After a long interval we finally have more pictures of Cody. 

He is looking well and more importantly is well and happy at home with his sister Halley. 

Halley may not think he is an asset though :)))

Nevertheless our Monday Mood is Thankfulness. 

Popps had to go to the vet yesterday as I noticed that she had a dark bald spot at the side of her mouth. It was not wet nor did it look fungal. I was thankful the vet said it was moisture dermatitis, the result of her continual licking of her face. Although she told Fern it was less itchy, it must still be itchy enough for her to do it. The vet gave her a shot of antibiotics and some anti itch meds. He did tell me it's a steroid to stop the itch but when I told him Popps was about 10, he said it was okay as long as there was an appropriate interval before the next one (if she should need it)

So indeed we have many things to be thankful for. 

Monday Mood

We have been walking downstairs more these past few weeks. Bujang. Tanaka and even Popps ventured downstairs for a change in scenery. However last Saturday, Popps absolutely refused to wear her harness and I was very puzzled. I tried (probably for much longer than I should) and she struggled and scratched me. Then Bujang actually hit her on her behind and she became very quiet. I was able to put her down gently and all of us rested for a bit. However, the whole of Sunday afternoon, Popps decided to just stay in the kitchen.

Last night, as usual, they had Reiki and conversations with Fern.

Poppy: She said she wanna go for walks or in trolley but doesn't want to go back to her old place anymore.

Fern: She gave me an unsettling/reluctant feeling when telling me this. And she doesn't like to wait to go out as 2nd or 3rd. I told B has to go first as we all show him respect in that sense. She listens and softened. 

Poppy: She said she was sorry she hurt you yesterday and feels bad about it. But still has slight upset.

Bujang:  He said he was happy. I asked him if he hit p's bottom. He said yes, no one can hurt you (if he is there) He thanked you for walking him. His back feels fine.

I thought I should only bring Popps out at the end of the week to allow her to calm down for a bit. But I am grateful that Bujang feels the need to protect me and that Popps is fine. She still thinks she should be first in all things but she is learning slowly that inside living is just as complicated as outside living, although much more safe.

And finally...

CODY - living the life of an indoor kitty

               Cody at home

It is always nice when his mom writes about him in FB. You can see how much she loves him from her posts.

His pawrents built this for him as he is a shy cat and also bored. He told Fern that he ran away because he saw a gap in the grill and he was bored. He is learning to play with his sister. He is also a climber so his pawrents thought he would enjoy this but he is slower at experimenting with new things. His sister Halley is still top cat.

Tuesday Tweet

      A new picture of Cody. 

In the past week, he had the flu, he tried to escape from the house and now he has an eye problem. He is really testing his pawrents. 

On a positive note his mom says;

He learn how to play what Halley plays and Halley will follow him to the unexplored realms of the house. 

If only Popps can do this. I think it's a tuxedo thing San.

     Why are we both here you ask?

    Super Ms Bossy Boots is in town!

She yelled at me fur a long time and San had to tell her to relax! So we just sat here as far away from hur as possible. 

In other news, San told us that Cody is doing well at his new home. I fink because his sisfur is NOT Bossy Boots but he has a cold though and his mommy brought we him to the doctor. He got a needle fur it!!

ADOPTED!

YAAAY!!

Cody (or Jeffery that was) was a happy kitty last night when we went to see him at his home. He was under the table watching us and his mom said it has become his favourite spot. He was relaxed, just lazing about after dinner. 

He had some initial problems with adjusting to a new house, being uncertain about his place and being bullied by his sister Halley. But he learnt very fast to avoid her when she hissed at him and spent much of the time just minding his own business, being his calm, independent self. These days however, he would sometimes give her a light slap on her butt if she walked past him. 

So even though they are still adjusting, his mom said he is very lovable, calm and funny and of course being very handsome, helps a lot. He is like "eye candy". We know his mom and dad would take very good care of him as his mom had worked very hard to keep him with her. He still had some sniffles, even with the change of litter, so his mom will be bringing him to the vet to get it seen to and also to microchip him. 

His mom said it was okay for us to show all of them together, so we made this announcement yesterday in our FB account. "ADOPTED", with love.
