Pelvis fracture recovery

[Fartleking]

Our beautiful siamese boy got glanced by a car on Friday night and his pelvis was fractured. The vets are likely to do surgery but as he is stable and able to urinate they are discharging him to us for the week (with a nasal feeding tube, poor guy) until they can get him in. We have gotten a big cage and a nice low bed and low litter tray to put inside because his movement needs restricting.
My question is where is it best to put the cage? We could put it on the floor of the living room below the window or we could place it on a table so he can see out the window. It can be a bit drafty here though so the only other option is in front of the fireplace which is essentially in the middle of the room. He will be medicated for pain so it might not really matter.
Also any experience of feeding tubes? I'm so heartsore over this and I just want him to recover as soon as possible.

One of my Persian had a feeding tube in her neck when she had pancreatitis. It was really easy to use. (Though I am a nurse and well used to tube feeds) the only problem I had was that I forgot to ask for a feed plan. So had to guess what to give her. I stopped using it when I realised that she was so full of milk that she wasn't eating. Then used it for water top ups for a day or so.
My childhood cat had plates her pelvis as a kitten and lived till 18.
It's really hard when they are injured or unwell. So for you. And my girls send healing purrs.

Sorry your poor boy is going through all this.
Our old girl had a feeding tube following surgery (this was back in 2015 so memory may be rusty). It was in her neck rather than nose. We were given some sachets you mixed with water and syringed the feed in the tube slowly. I seem to recall having to flush the tube with water first.
One of the nurses went through what to do and I had a print out of instructions. She got me to do a feed with water. This was a referral vets so I think feeding tubes were common at discharge.
As for cage location I would keep it away from draughts in case he feels the cold more than usual which is possible due to injury and medication. Also, a quieter bit of the room if possible he might not appreciate the TV so perhaps in front of the fireplace as I'm guessing you're not using the fire.

Thanks so much. We got the cage this morning and it is mahoosive. I'm having a rethink about the whole space and might move furniture around to get it in front of the radiator. He'll have shaved bits and has apparently lost weight so will really feel the cold. We can arrange the furniture so he is more out of the way but still part of the room.
I'm hoping that the feeding tube is very temporary just until he gets his appetite back but we've been on youtube and seen that it looks fairly easy.
The vets are wanting to get him a CT scan because the break is apparently very tricky. We're contemplating selling our kidneys to pay for it.
