As if he saw a ghost....

I woke up on Friday... and only Leia greeted me in front of my bed room door. I found Timmy in the middle of the living room... ...eyes closed, tensed and still... he had not reaction to my touch... he did not pur.... so i was worried. In fact, when i carried him, he was howling... Words cannot explain...

My first reaction - why was he reacting that way... he was the most affectionate cat i know before I slept... i woke up and there he was, almost a different cat.

He refused to eat....

I observed him for two hours, 6 to 8 a.m. by 7.30 a.m., i had called the vet's emergency line... by 8.50 a.m. i was at the vet's... the Vet came about 5 minutes later...

He found that Timmy had a temperature... he suspected that Timmy was bitten by Leia after hearing how Timmy was reacting. He feared an infection... so he gave Timmy a shot. Timmy is now on anti-biotics.

I was also scolded by the vet for not feeding my cat commercial food... he said that even he could not come up with the recipe to ensure the correct balance for a cat's diet... he said, cats are more complicated than dogs... he said i needed to be cruel... according to him.... cats can live without eating for a fortnight....

So i mixed their meat now with commercial food... one of the cats have been vomitting the past two days... it is getting lesser though....Let's see whether I have enough strength to change their diet now....
