Well Four has taken one big step backwards and one small step forward.
Although his wound is small relative to what it was it is still open and is
again infected. Our hero, Dr. Mulero, is semi-retired and is only in the
clinic on Thursdays.  I will call tomorrow, Monday, and ask that another vet
review Four's file and represcribe his antibiotic.  Hopefully Four will not
have to go to the clinic. I hope I will be able to pick up the meds and
start him immediately. Purrs please that that will happen.

The step forward is that somehow or other the doors between the porch and
laundry room and then the laundry room and kitchen were left open and Four
strolled on into the kitchen.  Victor Velcro was at the other end of the
kitchen, which is moderate in size, and there was looking at each other but
no hissing or fur puffing.  Four returned to the porch.  That is a good step
indeed!

The following link is to three pictures.  One is of Four the other two to
the porch where Four lives.

Purrs for Four's wound to heal quickly! Sometimes an infection will seem
to be gone, but a few bugs remain, and in the absence of antibiotics, will
start to grow again. Another course should do it, with a few purrs for good
measure!

Thanks Tak.  We are putting into motion all the purrs sent this way.  It was
very discouraging to find the wound reinfected but I'm sure it will be
quickly healed with the med I will pick up tomorrow. I'm coming your way
mid-May.  Will call you and Suz later.

Oh! He is really cute!  He sure looks like he feels at home.  I hope he
heals up.  Maybe that last little healing is hard because it is the last
"stronghold" for the bacteria?

It could be that is the problem.  The Rx was renewed and he was started on
it tonight. He is a cute cat and very personable.  I enjoy his company.

Thank you, we're using up those purrs.  The boys, Four and Victor have taken
on a project themselves.  When I fed Four this evening Victor came onto the
porch.  Four was aware of Victor being there. Four continued eating so he
obviously didn't feel threaten.  Victor jumped up onto the chaise lounge and
then onto the top floor of the KK.  There was no growling, no postering,
nothing negative at all.  I removed Victor as I intend to keep them seperate
until Four's wound is completely closed.  Good boys!!

That's good! At least we know he will be friendly with one of your cats.

Continued purrs for Four's wound. And for David's shingles/chicken pox!

I think it will, Sam, because this same med, same dose took care of the
wound when it was large. It is now small so I'm sure it will be controlled
and wiped out quickly. I mix it in his food as he would eat the pattern off
the dish if there were a pattern on the dish so I know he is getting the
med. He is a good cat, litter box issue aside.

He is cute Ann.  He has such interesting eyes.  And, as I have mentioned
before, he is a talker.  He gabs and gabs. Would talk your ear off if you
let him.  He loves petting and scritching.  It will be fun to have him in
the house.

My Chloe is a big talker, too.  My husband enjoys petting her a little
roughly (which she also likes, I don't know why) but she lets out screams of
extasy when he does it.  I have to tell him to quit "playing the cat"!
Meanwhile, my husband laughs hysterically.  I've got to get a movie of it
because it really is truly funny.  Chloe rolls and rolls in the chair, eyes
closed, in full caterwaul mode.  It's their thing.  I can't play her.  :~)

Aggie (13 y.o.) is a former feral and had unfair expectations placed on her
when she was just months old. Even at this age she seldom comes out from
under the bed. Have no idea how the Aggie/Four introduction will happen.

Maybe he is part Scottish Fold, just his ear!  No, okay sorry.

Thank you, very much.  So far things are okay.  Four didn't need to see the
vet, his Rx was just renewed. He and Victor Velcro seem to be developing
their own relationship. My husband and I will deal with boarding up the KK
next week-end and hopefully that will solve the kitty litter box issue. Yep,
sounds like things are working out okay.  Thanks again Adrian.

put the food in there in as big a plate as you can until you get it closed
up, might give him the idea its a food place before the closing and might
help when you open it up again, shallow, flat surface with dry kibble, and
beings its this cat I bet he will help himself, Lee

He does have a sweet face Dan.  He is a mystery to me.  I believe that he
was someone's pet at one time for a number of reason's and yet there are
other reasons that lead me to believe  that he never was a pet.

I think he was owned by someone because when he first arrived in the
neighborhood (more than 3 years ago) he was a fully grown Maine Coon Cat,
very well nourished and groomed, social, very, very social animal.  He would
go from house to house to visit the residents.  He never wanted food
although he would accept snacks if given.  He didn't take shelter at any
place in the neighborhood that any of us are aware of.  He didn't look at
all as if he spent his nights outdoors.  His coat was particularly striking.
Four can be picked up. He was intact as though he was used for breeding.

I believe that he wasn't a house pet because he is not litter box trained
and because he was intact. He was not microchipped or tattooed.  Because
after he received his horrendous injury he was not taken in by his family
and given medical attention.

It a moot point of course because he has been taken in now but he is so
sweet I find it hard to understand why someone would willingly give him up.
There had to have been extenuating circmstances.

One of life's mystery's!

Charleen
Stormmee - 12 Feb 2008 01:15 GMT
the extenuating circumstance is stupidity, very similar to Chester and
Tiger,... Tiger was a wonderful cat who from his behavior was thrown away
when someone moved, he was also in tact.  Chester was rescued by the shelter
on his last day at the pound, he was already fixed and was chipped, I can
not find one bad habit beyond the occasional scratching, he is friendly,
talkative, and a joy to be around,... I have after much consideration
decided that Chester's person must have passed away and Tigers should be
found and put down, Lee
