and much better. But he's now acting more affectionate that he did before his two trips. He had to stay the whole day on Monday for them to get urine and he lost patience as the day went on, leading to a pretty high amount of tranquilizers.
The staff were somewhat startled to find that I could cuddle him, rub faces together and just generally pet, coo and snuggle. They could handle him easily enough, and we do the Fear Free program, so I wasn't concerned that they would control him roughly. But they'd never have tried to stick their faces right up to his, even tranked.
There's been a lot more cuddling at home and he's even tolerating the dog, who is lying closer to him than normal. However, the dog lying on the cat's back legs was a bridge too far, leading to an in-your face hiss and baring of teeth. The dog was unimpressed and they continued to nap together; close, but not touching. They've been in my lap together, too. It used to be a king of the mountain game with bragging rights. Being the mountain is not all that much fun.
No infection again, so no antibiotics. I'm happy about that and so is he - he's sick of being pilled.
