For the second morning in a row...

fatrockstar...I have woken up with a Grady nestled in the crook of my arm. This was after he had roused me by head-butting my hands looking for skritches, of course. But this is a big deal -- he's been sleeping elsewhere in the house for a while and I have no idea why.
His appetite has returned for the most part. I need to get him back on a schedule. The kibble bowl in the bedroom has not been refilled so I can get him used to the idea of eating in the kitchen again. So far the only wet food he's eating is the "Tuna for Cats" from Trader Joe's. He loves it to death, but I'm not sure how to get his stomach meds in him through such a chunky medium.
The cone, unfortunately, will not come off for a while. Rather than have him see his regular vet AND the internist, I elected to have him see only the internist until his tube is removed. No sense in having Dr. Sanders charge me $100 for bloodwork, only to have Dr. Vaughn do another one "just in case." Dr. Sanders is awesome, she's just one vet too many at this point. I only have so many resources.
Grady's next bloodwork is Thursday. Maybe that will lead to him getting that damn tube out. Tube out = wound healing = no more cone. My poor half-naked little buddy. He really just wants to hang out and be a cat. Instead, he's a friggin' cyborg. Merrrr....`
