The white patch on the black cat

OK, apparently some hissing upon meetings is normal. As long as I don’t let Auriina out to Osku’s territory yet, things should be fine.

There was a little poop problem in the toilet, but it’s been handled.

I would never have believed that a little cat can eat and poop so much!

Osku wasn’t peeing, so I took him to the vet. NO INJURIES :) :) :)

He was given pain meds for the soreness. The swelling has gone down. His bladder was looked at in an ultrasound, and looked fine. Good lung and heart sounds, no palate issues, no teeth broken, no nose injury.

Osku was very brave and fought against oppression. I had big claws on, and he hung onto them and bit them.

Oh dear, I was going to wait a bit but now Osku and Auriina saw each other! Osku came to the door, I held it only slightly ajar. At first he seemed just curious, but he did hiss at her :( twice, and looks agitated now.

I hope this doesn’t mean he sees her as an intruder?

Osku’s nose is oddly swollen, but the nurse on the phone said it should be OK if he can eat and breathe fine (he can). I don’t think I can sleep tonight. I can’t stand the idea of him in pain and he’s just so sad-looking right now. Calm but sad.

I’ll start by saying that Osku is fine.

But he did just fall from a second story window. I don’t want to start with that because it would sound like he died or something.

I’m so… shocked.. oh god. He seems fine. I heard the thud but didn’t want to believe it, I looked for him everywhere twice, then I ran out in a nightie. At the door I was sure I’d see him.. it’s all concrete down there, I thought he’d be all .. smashed or lying there dying. But he was meowing, I heard him from teh door. He was under the nearest car. When I called him, he came out. His tail was huge and fluffy, and he was disoriented, but he was walking, not dragging or limping any foot. I carried him in and - I think he’s fine?!

The vet said to monitor him tomorrow. If there’s any change in breathing, eating, drinking, peeing, etc., I should bring him in. Otherwise, no need.

I’m incredibly relieved and grateful. The weird thing is, HE seems grateful. He has pushed against me and stared at me blinking, purred in my lap. As soon as we came in, he realized we’re home and he calmed down.

God. Oh my god. Cats are wonderous creatures.

Too fast for my camera.

When Osku is listening to noises behind him, he looks like a total crazy witch cat. But really he’s just covering all the bases.. :D

Nursing a headache, I pressed a bag of frozen peas against my head.

This was a shock for Osku. He kept staring at me like “O.o??? You took FOOD and put it on your HEAD? WHY!!”

When I shifted the bag and the peas made a rattling sound, Osku ran away like a flash. “It’s alive! It’s alive!”

It must be hard being a cat and never getting the situation.

Osku at the vet, betrayed and sullen.
