I'm monitoring his breathing daily - it's fast but not insanely fast and he's not panting with his tongue out any more.

The patient is smacked off his face on gabapentin now and purring loudly in his sleep.

@Supersimkin2 so sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed for you both

So sorry that you and Cap'n have had this news - as well as the stress of being in ITU. It's good that you were already well trained in ensuring Cap'n has a life of sybaritic joy. Huge good wishes for you both.

You know what, he's loved to bits and snacked senseless and that's what matters. When he got back from hosp we rubbed heads for a good 30 min cos we didn't think we'd see the other one again. Best cuddle of my life. The solid benevolent warmth in my arms - nothing means as much.

We don't know how old Cap'n is, but he was homeless and bloody ill for a while. Now he is an adored, respected and cherished family member with his own property and leisurely lifestyle. He deserves every bit of it.

Everyone who meets him recognises his beauty and charm (maybe not the vet nurse). He is an established, secure gentleman cat who is admired and esteemed by all in the community.

I want that for him for a bit longer. But I don't want him to suffer, and with any luck this ailment means he won't.

Beautifully put, as always. ❤️

Vet again tomorrow but strangely they’ve changed it to a phone consult. From a landline

How is the Cap'n doing today?

I can't believe I missed this! Super I am so sorry but as you say we can take comfort in giving them their best lives and Cap'n certainly has his.

Sending much love and (((hugs)))

Just seen about Cap'n, so very sorry to hear this...

Poor boy. He will definitely need all the snacks to make up for that. Ollie suggests cheesecake for human and cat

Sorry to hear about Cap'n. What a lovely post you wrote about him Super. Hope the consult goes well today.

On keyboard thanking you all for lovely messages.

Beautiful pictures! Mini-lion!

And asking for food. Funny, that.

Handsome boy.

So sorry to hear about Cap'n he is such a loved puss and I'm sure he feels the same about you x

He still immediately makes me think of a very distinguished gentleman.

Very sorry to hear about Cap'n. Have they started him on medication. One of Maia's made her go a bit hyper!

Yes. He’s very fond of the gabapentin

Cap'n so handsome. What a gorgeous fella.

Ah the gabapentin. Tom was dosed last night for the vet today. This was his little face this morning. Tom did not get to the vet. Collected the flea spot on and worm tablet. Worm tablet done. I'm psyching myself up for the spot on. More gabapentin required.

Gabapentin eh?. Nice.

I’m trying to get Puddys diet back on track by hiding the treats from dh. If she was hungry there’s Arden grange biscuits available 24/7.

I’ll say it for you, I have a dh problem 😲

Or Puddy has a Fluffy problem ...

That's right Fluffy; might it be time to consider whether you are the third person in the marriage?

Staggered to Sainsburys at 652am cos we ran out of Dreamies, there's been a run on them here recently. They don't open till 7am. You try telling the cat that, is all. Queued outside like a loser in tartan 'loungewear'. No one fooled.

Back in bed on armpit-scratching duty. I'm frenziedly busy with work but cannot move as a fat tail is thumping my legs and barricading me in.
