I know people donāt like looking at these things but this is what a feral cat must do to survive. My Nikko was quite the hunter and I did my best to protect the birds because I figure each one counts. N. America has lost 3 billion birds since 1970 and decline continues.
Speaking of squirrels, I read that if an animal eats a dead squirrel thereās a chance of contracting a deadly disease causing a slow painful death. In 2015 there was a man who, having a penchant for eating squirrel meat, died from a brain disease called CreutzfeldtāJakob. Itās rare and you can only get it from eating the infected person/animal. Moral: If you like squirrel meat, stay away from the brains. Sorry for the gross rant on dead squirrels.
Have you ever seen the YT channel called Luna the Pantera? If you dig cats (big cats) you might enjoy it. Luna was rescued as a kitten from a circus. The couple who rescued her live in Siberia and rehabilitate wildlife. They own a Rottweiler who helped raise Luna and of course theyāre besties now or should I say beasties
Ohh, I didnāt realize how young she was (or I forgot). When the snow got really high we used to shovel out a maze in the yard and watch their tails go by. At the end of the maze we shoveled a circle so they had enough room to poop and circle back.
I always thought about that with Luna the Pantera, a panther raised in Siberia. I guess thatās the only environment sheās ever known so itās really crazy watching her romp around and play in it. Dude, like no camouflage at all! She sticks out like an ink blot
a lovely beast at that. nothing like being a cat. thought i would check in although i have no new pictures.
i got out of the hospital yesterday after not one but two surgeries. i had to get the first (total tooth removal) prior to the big one (total heart rebuild). first surgery immediately after check in Monday. two days of bedrest before the big one Thursday. Released Monday with massive prescriptions from Heart ICU. 2 valves, decalcification, a sock to hold it all in place, Maze and another procedure that the drugs wonāt let me remember. iāve always healed very quickly and been a tough guy in pressure situations but with this one i find myself looking and feeling like the cartoon face on the far right of the pain chart. i didnāt say anything about it because i didnāt want to dwell on it and no sense bring anyone down with details, or just disappeared from a bad result on Thursday.
anyway it will be a long recovery. 6-8 weeks before driving and somewhat normal easy activities. 3-4 months before light physical activities.
thank goodness i have a snuggle monster (Sombra) to keep me company and make me get out of the chair (or bed) so i can get my steps in.
i stopped vaping for 2 weeks and now just take a hit or 2 off a mech with 0MG a few times a day. hoping to hold it to about that level without any problems although i am betting the doctors would come unglued. best to everyone here. hopefully a pic or 2 soon as the cat has grown to 22 lbs and is quite impressive for such a scaredy cat. peace <*)))>(
