Sick Felix
Today’s Caturday is a little less “awwww” and a little more, uh, “awww.” I regret to inform my fellow crazy cat ladies (and men!) that Felix is sick. We’re not sure what’s wrong with him but he’s got a fever and has been dry heaving / coughing up spittle for the last 24 hours. He also didn’t eat or drink anything yesterday. Chris took him to the vet today and they administered some tests while pumping him up with meds. We’ll know more soon, and hopefully by then Felix will be showing some signs of recovery.
It’s pretty sad to see a cat that normally tears ass through the house being totally lethargic and lacking in energy. Franny is most certainly missing her play partner, too.
Feel better soon, sweet Fixely!

Aw, poor felix. I hope he gets well very soonly indeed. I’m sure it’s very good for him to have his family around, lovin’ him up.

Aww :( Get well soon, Felix!!!!
poor baby :( i am sure your careful and loving nursing will bring him back to health.
Oh no!! Get well soon, Felix! Sending positive kitty chi your way..
I’m so sorry to hear this!
Our sweet kitty Vincent is also sick… we took him to the vet yesterday because he was seriously congested and discovered that he had a 105 fever and a borderline-flu cold. He’s on antibiotics and we’re trying to get him to drink and eat so he doesn’t get dehydrated… it looks like his fever broke but he’s still stuff :(
I hope your Felix feels better soon! I guess it’s that time of year :(
I hope he gets better. I just lost one of mine after 21 years.

I use GSE to keep from catching all the things that Luci brings home from school.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes! He still isn’t all that better but we did successfully force-feed him some food, and we’ve got painkillers so he is in the least amount of discomfort while he recuperates

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/imstillher] Thanks for the link – I’ll check into it. We are pretty sure he has pancreatitis and though we don’t know the cause, we suspect it’s from a change of cat food that is too high in fat. Just a suspicion, though…
The only possible "good thing" to come out of all this is that we now have a CD of xrays that the vet took. They are AMAZING to look at.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/captmouffette] Never easy, that is why I feel your pain. Hope he continues to get better.
Hold the phone…you have cat x-rays. You have no clue how much that just excited me!
xo, Felix!!
hope the little guy is recovering fast!
Kim & Chris — Sending positive thoughts to you and to Felix. Hope the little guy is back to tearing around the house again soon and playing with his new baby sis!
I hope Felix is feeling better!
