.....he's super cute. Not exactly the friendliest at times but you can't stay mad at him because, well, look at that face! So this guy, Floyd, was acting strange, so strange that we wound up making a trip to the animal hospital. Turns out this little guy was having a major flare up of his FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disorder). An affliction that is very common amongst male cats. Unfortunate that my boy is one of those male cats, he is a fighter however. After the first shot of a sedative he was pretty high but fighting it. He looked as if the walls were moving and changing colours as they spoke to him. See:
After about 10 minutes, the doctor was amazed that he was still walking semi-normal and was fairly lucid, so they administered another shot with a stronger dose that would normally knock out a rhinoceros. He fought it still but eventually he gave in and became as limp as a wet blanket.
It was so sad to see him like that. Once he was rendered immobile, they took him to the back treatment area for testing and whatnot. I came back later in the afternoon to take him home with his handful of pills.
Floyd recovered and was back to normal: Super Dang Cute.
