When your human is slow to get with the program. Be the visual.

He goes to the vet Monday. He's losing some hair on his nose and the quantity of surface area it covers is increasing. Vet will look and culture. I hope it's something easy. He recoils in pain if I touch the side of his nose.
Eating.....self feeding comes and goes. If he doesn't seem to be taking in enough calories, I help. This am I syringe fed A/D. I'm lucky. He sits in my lap and lets me. I've asked the vet if it's habit or routine and he just expects to be fed. Vet said no, I think it may be part of the routine. When he got insulin, he got 15mls A/D syringe fed. Once I hit 15, he's ready to go. I try to get about 23-26mls to increase weight. I think it's routine. How would he get ready to leave at 15, most everytime?

He has to be kept from his bff and that's hard on him. Bff is 24+ lbs and the psi exerted when bff washes his head is too much for his head. After bff washes him, he'll be in a daze, head swells and he's in pain.

I've never really encountered other owners with tender-headed cats.

When medicating, I can not hold his scruff, as that will raise the pressure in his head as well. It took some time to figure that out, I thought the meds were making him ill. His neuro started me on the path of it's the pressure in his head, affected by scruffing neck, when I kept complaining about how he's be after meds. I trained him to take meds with out scruffing and what a differnce it makes in his quality of life.

Unfortunately, today, I bumped his head on the underside of the cupboard rail (or style, I forget which is which).

He's here, I love him and for a treat he got a bit of doughnut. A favorite. He also had his treat stash restocked, and petsmart is clearancing most of their toys, so there are a couple new toys at our house. (Although, they seem to have been claimed by others).

Thanks for the prayers.

He sat in his kitchen cupboard and supervised while I worked in the kitchen. Yes, my cat has his own cupboard.

He really is great company while I work. I love to have him around me.
