Brave and Handsome Gus

Handsome GusOriginally uploaded by jentifer

I had to rush Gus to the emergency vet this afternoon – he was having trouble peeing and was making sad kitty sounds. He had a blockage and it’s a good thing I did the rushing because he was in pretty bad shape by the time we got there – they anesthetized him right away. They ran some tests and it’s not a worst case scenario – they think he just needs some medications once he’s recovered.

He’s currently hooked up to IVs and cathedars and other implements of torture – they said they have to keep him for a few days. I’m going to be in Memphis this weekend for a wedding and we have to leave him in the hands of the good vet people. Hopefully by the time we return he will be close to good-as-new. Think good thoughts, cat loving friends.

The vet ladies said “Ohh he’s handsome!” and I said “I know.” Maybe I can talk them into making him their poster cat to offset the vet bill?
