Dragomorph
good catte
Quinneapolis
he still doesn't seem to like me all that much
Quinneapolis
I moved to pet and he drew back and made half-assed hissy noises
❆𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻
don't go right for the pet, hold out your fingers and approach him, let him sniff your fingers, and if he rubs against them, give him a little scratch behind the ears and say loving things to him
❆𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻
but if he's hanging out where you usually are, that means he's probably beginning to become interested in you, so it's progress!
Quinneapolis
he had another owner before me
Quinneapolis
I can't point to anything specific but I get the impression that he's in bad health, and I can't get him to the vet before tuesday (and that's if I can wrangle him on tuesday)
Quinneapolis
it sounds kind of ragged sometimes and he's sneezing a lot
Quinneapolis
sometimes he suddenly hisses and runs to the other side of the apartment but I think that's just cat behavior
knotsferatu
aww yeah a lot of shelter kitties have little respiratory infections
Quinneapolis
I haven't been using a ton of it
Quinneapolis
he seemed to like it the one time
knotsferatu
when you first get them
Quinneapolis
the tricky thing is that like
Quinneapolis
I almost never even see him before like 9 PM
Quinneapolis
he just ghosts from sunrise to sunset
❆𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻
he might just be sleeping
knotsferatu
if its mild i think a lot of vets will just have you let him recover on his own anyway
❆𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻
cats are most active at sunrise and sunset, and they tend to basically just sleep most of the day
Quinneapolis
knotsferatu
he loaf
Quinneapolis
basically there's nothing disastrously wrong but like
Quinneapolis
there's constant small things that I lack the experience to tell if they're a problem or not
Quinneapolis
he keeps shaking his head really intensely and hissing, then sitting back down
knotsferatu
i think getting him to the vet will be good to assuage anxiety but yeah hes still settling in and getting used to you
❆𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻
awwww he's tucked his paws
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
aw what a sweet baby
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
and yeah most of that just sounds like cat behavior with probably a cold
knotsferatu
he probably does have a little shelter bug and is kinda uncomfortable but if its viral they'll just tell you to keep an eye out
dragon time
Him
knotsferatu
the headshaking and being like generally a little hissy is probably because he feels kinda bad because he has a kitty cold
knotsferatu
but hanging out on the couch is really good
knotsferatu
what time is your appt tuesday? what id do is if you have one room you can shut the door on id corral him monday night
knotsferatu
and that way if you do have to wrangle him at least youve got him contained
Quinneapolis
after work
Quinneapolis
maybe monday when he comes out I'll at least close off the laundry cave
knotsferatu
yeah just make sure he cant like get behind somewhere you cant reach and has access to his litter box
Quinneapolis
I don't wanna close it off before then because he's having a rough time and depriving him of his cave might make it even worse
knotsferatu
in my experience with these viral infections what theyll do is just be like
knotsferatu
officially diagnosed with ADR (aint doin right) and maybe put on an antibiotic just in case (which they might not for him because hes not really handle-able yet) and then you wait for like. a week and a half. and it'll run itself out.
Quinneapolis
knotsferatu
awwwwwwwww
knotsferatu
yeah honestly he seems mostly fine hes hangin out and watchin birds on tv i think hes just sneezy because all shelter kitties get a little sick but he'll be just fine
knotsferatu
if he felt Truly Bad he'd just stay hidden
Quinneapolis
do cats sleep in loaf pose or is sumo just closing his eyes while loafing for fun
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
both
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
my tuxedo cat loafnaps and just kind of Does That sometimes
