Lemon Comes Home

Our cat Lemon had an eye infection on his left eye and spent a week at the vet's: to stitch his third eyelid and thereafter for monitoring/ recovery.

After about 8 days at the vet's the doctor gave us a message that Lemon refused to eat or drink, and that he had to be put on drip to hydrate his body. We went immediately to get him and brought him home. He was in a disheveled state. Like an uncared-for person. His coat was shabby and unkempt, and he had lost 800g of weight (he was just 4.8kg to begin with) 😱

At the vet's when he saw me and in the car on the way home he was meowing away, recounting his tale at the vet's.. and possibly questioning why he was left there for so many days. 

He had a bit of the sniffles and his meows sounded a bit weak. My heart broke.

Once at home we cleaned him with wet wipes, brushed his fur & prepared his meal, which he ate quite enthusiastically. He stayed upstairs with the girls and when he went downstairs he climbed on this couch (he doesn't normally do this, he usually sits on or under the stairs). Yesterday he was indoors the whole day. He went out occasionally (perhaps to take the dump, or to meet his friends) and returned home, back to this couch.

I guess he just missed home, like any person would 💗
