In a nutshell his pulse is much too slow. Only around 130 bpm. And at the Vet's office, no less, so it should have been around 200 or higher, according to the vet. And he just seems out of sorts... I'm not sure if there's anything we can do, or just make him as comfortable as possible. *bawls eyes out* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone was driving through the brush, and their car ran out of gas. They walked home, and forgot to note where their car was so now they're down a car.

Thanks. The other thing I forgot to mention is he has an ear infection... which means ear drops... and anyone who has a cat knows giving them ear drops first thing in the morning is just so much fun..... Back on topic, I've got all the little details worked out for the next chapter... gonna start getting screenshots today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the only surefire way to get something in a cat's ear is to dip the entire cat in that something... I don't have a cat but know people who do. Does this mean we can expect a new spacecraft named after your cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.... a little off-topic, but I'm not ready with the next chapter yet anyway. When we found him and his brother, they were abandoned and Phantom was almost dead, and weighed only 7 ounces... so they ended up with the names Grey-Ghost and Phantom, because they quite nearly came back from the dead. This is them: Me dropper feeding Phantom the first night: And this is them grown up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedrelle Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 handsome fuzzies. I really hope he is okay, ill cats can often be very stressful. I have 2 cats, Tanuki and Magnolia. we just go Nollie recently, and for a bit there, Tanuki got rather ill, lethargic, diarrhea, etc. we thought it was stress, but it turned out to be food related. also, looking forward to whats next.

As is giving insulin shots to diabetic cats. Or, in the case of one such of my mom's cats, it's a no-person job, as no person was capable of doing it. Said cat was big and muscular enough to break your neck (or at least you nose) when she didn't like what you were doing, and had no qualms about using her claws in a tyt-for-tat reprisal for being pinched and then stabbed with a needle. Ended up being easier (and healthier for all involved) to just put the cat on the feline equivalent of the Atkins diet. Sick pets are no bueno. Best of luck.

First, my cat seems to be feeling better. This morning he ripped my forearm wide open when I was trying to hold him and give him his ear-drops... Got a couple nice 6" claw-marks... But I'm not upset... weird as it sounds, quite the opposite. Yes, my arm still really stings, but my cat is definitely stronger, and fighting much harder, than just a couple days ago, which I'll take as a very good sign. Second, I was dodging storms again today, but still got a bunch of the screenshots done. Here's an interesting one to ponder: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Hmmm... I had another one of those moments today where I was getting screenshots, and one of them immediately reminded me of something that could lead to a really interesting twist... one that I hadn't really considered... So I sent a copy of it to my buddy @adsii1970, who answered back exactly what I was thinking... Great minds and all that... It's too good not to use... but also opens a couple possible paths that I need to consider, one that could completely change the ending of the backstory. Oh, I got a whole bunch of screenshots today... I'm about half done for the next chapter. Edited June 21, 2017 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally! Came running up to me, meowing it's head off, then ran over to his brother. I would have never found him otherwise. He quite literally saved his brothers life. And we just scooped them up and got them straight to a vet that was still open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Oh, to bring this back on-topic, I have just about all the screenshots I need for the next chapter. Just need to sort and photoshop and all that. Here's a teaser screenshot I did this morning for anyone that's interested: Spoiler ... the place was obviously creepy... but Emiko needed answers....
