More news from the cat
Oct. 14th, 2023 07:22 pmTully the Tabby had surgery yesterday, to remove the whatever from his lower lip. It went well.
He was very unhappy with the situation as a whole: Annoyed when I arrived at the vet clinic, scared when I got him back. He also was extremely hungry, as he had to fast from 8 p.m. on Thursday. When we got back home around 4 p.m. on Friday, he was still groggy, stumbled out of his box, missed the living room door three times, but then beelined to his bowl, found it empty, and looked at me as if to say, "you have been weighted and found wanting".
It took a groggy cat attempting to jump on the kitchen workspace to look for food there, not quite managing, falling, taking a china bowl full of damp tea leaves with him, spilling tea leaves everywhere and ripping his stitches a bit before I saw the error of my ways and gave him a full day's ration against the vet's advice.
He's already much better today. Now it all depends on the result of the histological examination of the whatever. Best case it's a glorified pimple. Worst case, it's malicious, but I have lost a cat before to a benign tumor which would not stop growing. So... wait.
