ENTRY: Sebastien (and accomplice Sophie) They knocked over their food and had themselves a snack! Seb is licking his lips! 😆

The absence of a constant companion like that can be like losing an appendage. It's a lot to miss. I hope that in time (it always takes time) that you find other things to help fill the void. Until then, there are a lot of people out there (and here) who are familiar with this loss. Keep...

I always love when they learn to tell us what they want - for better or worse. Couldn't imagine living frustrated all the time.

What was Squirrels like? Do you have support around you? People who understand your loss?

I'm not a vet in any way... but since he's acting 100% fine otherwise, I think you could probably just closely monitor him. Drooling, obviously, isn't normal, but hopefully it resolves soon! Keep any eye out for any other symptoms - gait, activity, input/output, changes in behavior, etc.

What motivates her? Play? Food? Cuddles? I'd recommend doing what she loves most to tempt her. If it's cuddles, sit near the brambles for a while (read a book or whathaveyou) and see if she'll come out.

Some cats are special to us in particular ways. Like you said, he was your gateway cat. Sounds like he helped you fall in love with cats and now you have cats of your own. That's very special. He opened your heart, mind, and home to give other cats a good life! I believe that with all things...

They're nearing that extra cute phase where they start to really play and stuff. I love when they run around with their tails straight up in the air. Or when they do their first tush-waggle to try to pounce. Or the sideways approach. So fun.

I think I lean the other way - that he shouldn't have the extra stress nor be far away from his vet if he's that old and frail. It's a tough one since you've cared for him before. I assume you couldn't stay there due to work, correct? Can you talk this through with the owner? I think the owner...

What do his poops look like?

I fostered a kitten who had an eye removed and he acted like a very normal kitten. Like @fionasmom said, your baby should feel relief once this is done. I had a cat with glaucoma and we knew there could be a point where she needed enucleation. If it meant less pain or discomfort for her we...

Then if it keeps happening with the cone, I'd bet you could take it off. I'm glad to hear the area looks good! Try your best though - the cone will help prevent complications. I know a lot of cats, esp the males, don't get cones after their neuter, but you never know if they'll lick the area...

Is it held on by a fabric tie? I had to tighten it. Make sure you can still get 2 fingers under it. How is his incision looking? Scabbed?

I'm going to echo everyone else, even though it might fall on deaf ears... Move on from this guy. Anyone who thinks it's okay and funny to terrorize ANY animal is not a good person to be with - especially because you said it isn't okay with you. #1 in a partner is that he respects you. If there...

There's also a possibility he did that to himself - allergies or something too. The fact that a lot of hair is missing makes me wonder.
