can I have a hand hold please?

[hollinhurst84]

Ollie is missing and I'm hysterical sobbing. Searching since 4am and no sign

[hollinhurst84]

That is his favourite thing in the world. No interest in toys or catnip
Just wants to sit blinking at me

[cozietoesie]

I think I've mentioned before that, from my own experience, a bonded Siamese's idea of a really good time seems to be sitting gazing at their person. (Or cuddling them/talking with them.)

I draw no conclusions of course.

[hollinhurst84]

It's great until you wake up with a fright and realise he's staring at you and doing his "wub momma" blinks right in your face

[timtam23]

I love Ollie's Facebook page, those big-eyed photos!

[hollinhurst84]

He lets me do 99% of stuff. Holds paws out now for claw trimming. Rolls over for belly rubs
If he's not sure he just blinks at me, that's his default setting

[Toddlerteaplease]

Would love it if my girls would let me wrap them in towels.

[hollinhurst84]

He's ridiculous the worlds softest cat

[Toddlerteaplease]

Just had a proper look at Ollie's Facebook page. Omg it is just too cute. He's gorgeous.

[hollinhurst84]

Yep. We have very few rules
No crying at me in the bedroom
No getting on the worktops
No sitting next to me drooling when I'm eating
No chewing the humans shoelaces. Again.

[cozietoesie]

1 pouch doesn't seem enough but 4 is quite an increase. I'd just be keeping a weather eye on him and his habits.

(Making the transition from 'Home is where I can have what I want' to 'Home is my safe and loving place even though they may have some rules' etc. I've never thought that cats minded a few rules as long as they were halfway reasonable, applied with kindness and - most importantly in my experience - applied with complete consistency.)

[hollinhurst84]

He's about 3.5kg so he's lost maybe 1/8th of his body weight
I drew the line when he ate a full pouch then held his paw up for more 30 mins later

[cozietoesie]

Although that's rather an increase.

[cozietoesie]

Well how much weight had he lost during his sojourn?

[hollinhurst84]

He's also gone from eating one pouch a day to four

[cozietoesie]

It sounds as if he became stuck somewhere and gave himself a fright then. I'd just enjoy his current homebody status.

[hollinhurst84]

He's been out for a little potter in the mornings but that's it. Would rather be blinking at me

[cozietoesie]

Is he shrieking to go out or still being close?

[hollinhurst84]

He is! Still a little wary when I have a window open and eating loads and loads
Here is him tonight on his viewpoint and being ridiculous with me

[TheRattleBag]

Is lovely Ollie fully recovered from his adventures? Has he stopped limping?

[hollinhurst84]

I posted ages ago about his over grooming issues with his belly. Anyway he had some bald spots on his ears too which the vet thought was allergic reaction
In a fit of inspiration I've started him on antihistamines. His belly hair is growing back, he's stopped grooming it and his ears are healing. Amazed how well it's working
This is him unimpressed at me poking his belly

[hollinhurst84]

Fairly likely

[Fluffycloudland77]

What's the betting he ends up with more likes than you?.

[hollinhurst84]

If anyone wants to follow him

By popular demand he now has a Facebook page

[ElegantDream]

I bet you still can't believe he's back!
