Heff is officially ours as of today. We went to take him all the way back to his shelter to show him off and get his microchip. But he was open mouth breathing and snorting so 40 minutes into the 1.5 hr drive I turned back and went home. Made me too nervous. I was thinking he was a very very mellow cat and the drive from the shelter when I picked him up and didn't make a peep.
Remember Heff was the diabetic that was doing poorly - always sleeping and not eating. They were shooting 2units of Humalin blind twice a day. Someone said it was the kibble that they were feeding him that kept him alive. He hasn't had a drop of insulin since the day I brought him home. I did his monthly test last week, mid day, and he popped up a beautiful 50! So I realized the difference between the ride today and the first ride, was he wasn't overloaded on insulin. So no long rides in his future. I'll get his microchip done locally.
Heff is a beautiful boy. He's strong, doesn't like cuddles, and very mellow. He talks a bit, and plays with his squeeky mouse on the pole after we are both in bed sleeping. For some reason in the last few weeks he's taken to being a bit aggressive with Henry. I wonder if he's trying to play. Henry is a scardey cat. For the first couple months he'd run and hide in the bathroom when I pulled out a cat toy. He was turned in at the shelter at 8 months old and spent 13 months there. Heff will go up to Henry (who lies on his back a lot) and bite into his neck!!!! Lots of growling and hissing follow from Henry. I'm not sure whats going on. Heff was very respectful of Victoria and Henry's personal space until the past couple of weeks.
Henry is on an allergy food and hasn't had a poopy bum in a month WOOOHOOO. Still have to do xrays to find why his tail won't lift up higher and he seems a little stiff walking.
Victoria is still her charming, soft, lap loving self. She has discovered my husband has a lap so I'm feeling a little unloved LOL.
