Poor Mr. Fuzz! I would have to say of all our cats Mr. Fuzz is the most sincere. If he accidentally scratches us he looks sad and will come and kiss us to make up for the injury he has caused. He likes certain canned cat foods and eats them with great happiness and will even share with a kitten if needed. He has his concubine Heidi, whom he will sing to and if he can't find her will go around calling until he does find her. He snuggles in at the bottom of my husbands bed at night, and then will curl up behind my back. When it's time for breakfast he wakes me as gently as possible...unlike the kittens who scratch at my face and feet until I finally get up. But... he also has asthma. Last weekend he had an attack and we took him for his shot. They gave him the lesser of the shots because the big shot can make him sick. He was fine until Friday when he had another bad attack. I took him back in and they gave him the "big shot" and kept him all day and overnight to keep an eye on him. I brought him home Saturday but only with the promise to bring him back first thing Monday morning so they could recheck him. I promised and will do so. They have all fallen in love with this gentle giant (a 14 pound sweetie) and worry over him as much as we do. (One of the receptionists used to sing to him) I guess most people would have given up on him and had him put down by now, but he does have good weeks and even good months where he doesn't have attacks. Now he also has a lump on his neck and they are concerned over that too and are measuring it each visit to make sure it isn't growing. If it does grow they will need to remove it and have a biopsy done on it and we are all hoping it is just a fatty deposit or something benign. You gotta love a cat who KNOWS when he has done wrong and tries to rectify the situation.

When I brought him home Saturday he had his priorities...first find his Heidi cat, then go eat, then use the litter box, have a drink and take a nap. Yep, he has his priorities straight. So send good thoughts for this poor baby and hope all goes well with him. He's just one of those sweet cats you really get attached to.

On the other hand we do have this BAAAAAD orange cat - marmadukealade - since we aren't sure of the sex... that is up for grabs most days.
