Cecil – July 12, 2006
I realized Cecil’s blog needed an update and took a photo this morning. When uploaded on Flickr, it struck me how much older he looks. Still acts like a nutty kitten, but frozen in pixels, perhaps a bit more reserved? We have a recheck appointment tomorrow at the Animal Medical Center. I have lots of questions and concerns, including a new development that looks like a tiny “cherry eye”. I’ve only seen them in dogs, but perhaps cats can have them too. Cecil also has some behavior issues that I suspect may be related to his impaired vision. He seems to have trouble reading other cats (and my!) body language and can be too aggressive when playing. Of course that fact that he probably had little or no socialization for the first 4 months of his life may have something to do with his mixed messages too. Eventually, Cecil will need a permanent home and the more adjusted he is for the move the better it will be for all! BARC Shelter’s website has Adoption information. Sadly, Cecil’s donations have dropped off to nothing. If anyone can make a small contribution, or would like to sponsor Cecil it would be a huge help. BARC takes in new “special needs” dogs and cats every week and veterinary funds get depleted quickly as all you animal folks know!
