I just wanted to again thank everyone for their prayers and support, and update everyone.

I was able to jet outta work early to take a coworker to pick up her car that was being serviced, and so I was able to get to the Vet's office before they closed and got to talk to the Vet and the Techs, and see my Purr Buddy.

The vet said it was a mucous block, not the crystals, but he will definitely need a urinary tract friendly diet from here onward. The Vet said he was going to take the catheter out today, and monitor that he keeps eating and drinking and peeing, and they are expecting that I will be able to bring him home on Saturday.

I took a couple pictures at the vet... most were blurry, but here are 3 that I promised Gefn I would post.

He was doing really well. Ate some wetfood while I was with him, loved getting some skritchies on his head, and lived up to his name. He is so affectionate!

"When you get me outta this damn box?"

So glad he is improving and hopefully diet change will keep this at bay. Special food is not so bad once they get used to the idea they no longer get the tasty stuff.

We have one cat with touchy digestive system that has to be fed special food easy on the guts. Another tubby Siamese needs low-cal food, and our new kitten needs kitten food of course. You should see the three ring circus feeding them keeping them out of each other's bowls.

Thank you for photos. Beautiful kitteh. Such great news. one of the worst things is the helplessness we get when our pets get sick or hurt. One of the hardest things owning a pet.

He’s a beauty. I’ve always loved tabbies. They are exceptionally smart too

Awww, hope it all works out.
My Bootie had the crystals form- he was an indoor, pee in a box, fixed male. He was put on Science Diet special food and I bought him a “water bubbler” machine so his water was clean and filtered. He never had a prob with urinary function after...
But, sadly, developed other probs and left me three years ago this past July...still miss him tons!

What a handsome boy! His stripes break up into rounded areas on his back and are very pronounced on the rest of his body. I’m so glad he is doing better and eating.

That is wonderful news! He looks very much like my Billy who I lost a few months ago from cancer. Their faces are so much alike, but Billy had a bobtail. Tabby’s are great cats. Good luck to you both.

My boy had the mucus issue too. Vet said stress caused his bladder to shed mucus that then plugged the urethra. I switched to wet food and sprinkle on Cosequin capsule every morning. Apparently an off-label use for it is to coat the bladder & prevent such from happening again. I figure it can’t hurt and maybe will keep arthritis at bay when my boy gets old. I buy them on Amazon.

Glad your little buddy is on the mend
