Took the stray, who we've dubbed Samwise, to the vet yesterday. He had an abscess on his jaw, and is a bit underweight, but otherwise good. Felline Leukemia and AIDS free, which was great to hear. Got his first round of shots, and took him home. He came back in the afternoon and evening, but when we went out to give him his antibiotics he wouldn't come. Hasn't come back this morning, either. Normally, he comes to our voices, knowing that we'll give him lots of food and love.

I'm so worried about him. I feel sick to my stomach, thinking that something horrible has happened. He's got a collar, so in theory someone would call us. But, if it's fallen off, or if he's had a bad reaction to the shots...

I hate this. I want my Sammy-cat to come home.

ETA: Kitty is home. *breathes sigh of relief*

He'll be back - he's just doing the cat thing, sitting under a bush watching you, sticking his tongue out and thinking - bastards!

Cats aren't daft. Once he's done pouting he'll be home.

*Hug*

He's back, the little shit. And totally oblivious to the trauma he's caused.

Heh. No doubt sitting there, eyes half shut with that smug little Cat Look - the one that says 'yeah, you were worried. I know. I win.'

*Snort*

Glad he's home!

PS - Have you ever considered microchipping? Can't be lost like a collar...

Oh yes, and he will be microchipped when we take him to have his balls lopped off. *grin* He just showed up about a month or so ago, and has only let us pet him for 2 weeks now. We're going to start working him into the house now that we know he won't infect our other cats, and when he goes back for his 2nd distemper shot, he'll be getting neutered and chipped.
