this was why i started putting out food for the cats and took in the first one that came. and there's a story to that... poor little guy was really sick. severe gingevitis, ear infection, ear and eye mites. the vet was quite expensive for getting this sorted out, but he now basically only has a bit of a problem with ear mites and a bit of a cough. i'm finding that after getting a harness for him and putting him out in the sun whenever i can, that the cough is mostly gone, but the ear mites are persistent little fuckers. i'm all ears for anyone's suggestions how to stop that because i have tried a few things, and sometimes i see him winking and worry that the eye mites are still bugging him, but motly his eyes are now always wide open, they used to be half closed all teh time when i first got him. anyhow, he's my housemate. i do my best to keep him happy and healthy and lately i have been letting him eat as much tuna as he has the appetite for, because i want him to grow up big, like a boy next door is, except not as fat. mochi is still a kitten but he's definitely somewhere near a year old now, getting quite big and i want him to be as big as possible. the only complaint i can make about him is he doesn't seem to understand about holding his claws back, i probably get a bleeding scratch every other day from him playing, and i want to play with him, it's just, as soon as i'm hurting i'm like, i dun wannan play now.
