This morning, when I went to feed, usually Bentley will run up to me and scoot up my legs (ouch) and jump on my chest. he will then ride on my shoulders getting in the way of feeding and jumping off every time I bend over to get food into bowls before returning. This morning, I couldn’t find him.
He’s my bud- one of a litter of kittens born with distemper. He was the only survivor. We went through a lot together, and what is usually the case in distemper survivors he has behavior issues that will last his lifetime and he will not ever be adopted because of those issues. It also prevents him from being an inside kitty.I haven’t seen him in about a week and with everything going on- I just figured he was out mousing and will be home soon.
Well I found him a bit ago, and he has lost an enormous amount of weight- he is vomiting foam and crying almost continually, I have him inside in one of my big custom-built cages and I can tell he is miserable. First appointment I can get is 3:20 tomorrow. In my gut, I knew something was wrong with him the minute I saw him this morning. Normally he would run across the grasses and leap into my arm. Not today- 🙁 in the photo below, he is the mack tabby. he has a bob-tail
Another little one in trouble. The best of luck to Bentley.
I just gave him fluids. I think what scares me the most is he arrived in 05 right when Mercedes arrived. They were around the same age. We just lost Mercedes. I do not want another loss this time. I will go the distance with Bent if I have to-
Oh no. 🙁 Poor little guy. I’m sending lots of purrs his way.
Poor baby! Sending prayers your way. I have an orange tabby named Bentley, and his sister Mercedes. It’s so difficult to see our fur babies suffer. Good luck at the vet!
