I haven't written in a long time because I have been so preoccupied with my cat. He went through most of July with a very, very strong reaction to a shot called Solensia that he received for his arthritis.
The vet agreed that we need to explore other options for his treatment as the Solensia caused caused him great discomfort.
He had to see the vet four times throughout July, including one visit to the ER vet. He occupied even more of my mind and heart than he usually does. And since I consider him the love of my life (you can laugh, if you like, it's okay) that's saying something.
Sunday night, in one of his first bouts of super-sized energy in weeks, he chased a mouse throughout my apartment. The mouse got away but mouser that he is, Henry is on souped-up patrol. Except for bathroom and meal breaks he returns to his stake-out spot, with barely a meow for me. I am terrified of mice but glad to see Henry excited about something.
I read that cats get very excited when on the hunt and that their brains react like human brains can to playing video games. Both yesterday morning and today he barely acknowledged me when I kissed him bye before leaving for work.
I always say a prayer with him and tell him what time I'll be home and he always seems to listen (and know exactly when I'll be home) but ever since Sunday night he's more like "hmm, okay."
