Here are some pictures of the Furry Fella from over a year ago.
He was on death's door then, losing weight rapidly, barfing a lot, and having little energy for anything other than snuggling to stay warm.
These pics were taken at a Cemetery, of all places, right after having taken him to the vet. We wanted to take him on an adventure after getting needles poked into him and blood drawn.
He was later diagnosed with failing kidneys. Fortunately, vet science is very familiar with the issue, and while there's no cure, with the right diet, the trouble can be alleviated for awhile. After switching to prescription food, the buildup of toxins in his body has been minimal from then until now. He's even put on a little more weight!
Here he is today.
The picture above is him on the new heating mat he got for Christmas!
And here he is modelling some cloth hardware 😄
I was scrolling through my phone not long ago, stumbled upon his cemetery adventure pics, and realized how long it's been since then. He's never going to be out of the woods. He's an old man after all. If we hadn't have caught his trouble in time, he wouldn't be here today. In spite of all his winjing and complaining, I'm glad to have him in my life for however long he has left. So enjoy some more pictures of the Boy 😁
