I know things that seem like no big deal in a younger cat can be more worrisome in an older kitty, and you wouldn't be concerned if you didn't love Harvey so much. But I also agree this is something that can wait until morning.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Lots of stress in the air. Not sure if this is cause of it or a focus for diffuse stress.. Anyway, thank you all for your encouragement.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope you and Harvey had restful nights, Andi.

Thanks, Laura. Harvey got a lot more sleep than I did. And he has an appointment at 11:30am today. Now I'm going to go back to bed for a bit.

Hugs. I hope the vet is reassuring.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All good wishes for Harvey and you, Windsparrow.

No visible injuries to the cornea, nothing obvious - it may be a neurological condition called Horner's syndrome, which is sometimes caused by an ear infection or other ENT weirdness, where the nerve gets irritated and causes facial paralysis. Just in case, we have antibiotic eye ointment and an oral antibiotic. It may resolve in two weeks, or it may be Harvey's new normal.

Also, his body temperature was down to 96 degrees. Commencing with snuggling Harvey up with miccrowaved towels.

And he did not want to snuggle me. However, he is on the heated cat bed, the one I never wanted to use because it did not have a pressure sensor. (Recently Harvey has not been using the pressure sensor one that Steph recommended, likely because of its proximity to an a/c vent. I broke out the other one because four degrees below normal is not time to mess around. Cat needs more options for warm.

You are such a good mom, WindSparrow. I hope that Harvey warms up quickly.
