Milky Wave Update
Feb. 23rd, 2011 09:27 amA few people have been asking, so here's an update on our rescue cat Milky Wave.
If you don't know the story, I'll give you a tl;dr version.
He was found last winter on the side of the highway, half frozen. He almost lost a leg due to extreme frostbite, but thanks to great vet care and some very generous donations from my flist (and their extended flists) he kept that leg and is FAT and happy and healthy now.
Here's a link to one of the first posts about him. (with some pathetic photos that made me tear up seeing them again!!) OMG Pathetic cat ahoy
So here we are one year later.
He still has all of his legs, he hasn't had a seizure for over four months (he's on a daily pill for that) and man, he is HAPPY! He's still a dork, and has no idea how to groom himself, but he plays, and chases our other cat around (much to her chagrin).
He's still deaf, of course, and has never purred. He sometimes pulls out the fur on his front legs, (wth?) and although he's quite playful, he doesn't have a great sense of 'gentle'. I keep his claws trimmed, because OUCH!
( Here's some pics under the cut )
Thank you so much, to all of the people who so generously donated to the Milky Wave fund last year, and all the people who spread the word. He is a very valued member of this family now, and we are all so happy that he's become this fat, happy guy.
I'm sure Milky Wave would thank you too, as soon as he's done chewing the face off his baby.
