Poor little Mr Cory, tabby love of my life, has an overactive thyroid. Has gone from 9kg to barely 5kg. He was collected this am and taken to the vet for his blood test, from whence I received a phone call saying he had been sedated as was 'very very nervous'.
Mr Cory can be a little spirited ('couldn't be held'). Of the two of them, I dread to think what state of nerves the vet was in, to be honest.
I apologised fulsomely. But now the little cat is at home he is very jumpy, and staring saucer-eyed at the front door in case it happens again.
How do I calm him down? I have tried poached chicken, singing, declarations of love and just lying there companionably. He has eaten and had the strength to ask for extra Dreamies. Also the poor little boy has three huge shaved patches and I think they're itching.
