Dos Gatos

Cat life has been a bit crazy this month, Oliver got neutered last week, and I had to save Remi’s life a couple of days before that.

I was getting ready for work, running a little late. The kittens were being their normal rambunctious selves, running around and chasing each other.

I saw Remi running really fast with the feather toy attached to a stick with fishing wire, she ran into the bedroom, I thought nothing of it.

It was about 20 minutes later when I was heading out, I almost just went out the door, but my gut stopped me.

Remi was laying in the den next to the office chair. She didn’t move. I quickly realized the wire from the toy was wrapped around her neck, which was wrapped around the chairs rolling wheels.

She had been stuck there for over 20 minutes, twisting and rolling around, making the wire tighter around her neck. By the time I got to her, she was gasping for air, limp and exhausted.

I grabbed the scissors, I could barely get my finger under the wire, it was so tight! But, I was finally able to free her.

She ran off and went under the sofa, making a choking, heavy breathing sound. Grateful that she was alive, I still didn’t know if she had brain damage from lack of oxygen, or throat/neck injury.

I checked her eyes for dilated pupils or anything unusual, she looked okay.

After an hour or so, she finally came out and let me pet her, very good. But she wasn’t purring.

It took a couple hours before she wanted to get some love, and she started purring!

All is fine, thank GOODNESS!!!

I was pretty shook up all day just thinking about what if I didn’t make sure she wasn’t just sleeping next to that chair before I went to work? She clearly would have died.😔

Oliver is doing well, but we have them separated while he is recovering and that is hard, they love each other so much. ❤ He gets his cone off on Sunday, he can’t wait!

Meanwhile, he is getting extra love and treats, and he is even enjoying a new “cat app” on the iPad, he loves it!😂
