Smokey found ME... and he talks to me and he flicks his tale in conversation at me and he winks at me with his golden eyes.... just the other day I think I saw him put up a mailbox and hang a "home sweet home" shingle...
Well, my Smokey had an emergency run to the vet today... earlier in the week he had been in a fight and I noticed a spot of fur missing from the top of his head... I kept an eye on it and it stayed clear and he seemed fine all week. Well yesterday evening when I got home from work he walked me to my front door as he always does and when I looked down I
because the entire right side of his face was swollen... abcess presented itself pretty darn quickly as he appeared to be fine that morning. Prior to today I've only ever had to take him to Well Pet Clinic just for well baby shots. Today we ran him to Three Notch Vets and they squeezed him in. The treated him and he is going to be just fine... three main things said by the vet today...
1) Thank goodness he was up to date on his rabies shots and most definately thank goodness I had all the paperwork. Once they shaved his face it was obvious it was a full mouth bite on the side of his face. The boosted his rabies today and said all would be fine.
2) They said they wished every cat was as awesome as him! When she tried to listen to his heart all she could hear was the purrr purrr purrr of a content and well behaved kitty. They said he was a wonderful cat...
3) The vet said he is pure bred... short-haired Russian Blue... I just looked it up and it describes him perfectly. I am typically a dog person but am very, very fond of this cat... reading the description now I know why...
Russian Blue Cats
Russian Blue cats have gray-silver hair with blue tints and are originally from Russia. These cats are intelligent and love to observe and watch what is going on around them. They can learn how to do some tricks and love to be around their owners, but they tend to run away from strangers that come into their homes. Russian Blue cats have very fine, short hair that is silky, soft and smooth to the touch, and they have long bodies and short limbs. They tend to be smaller cats. This breed of cats like to play with other dogs, cats and animals in their home along with their cat toys. Most of them will approach their owners and rub their heads against them in a loving way when they sense their owners are sad or feeling down because they are sensitive to human emotions. Russian Blues are fantastic cats to own if you have mild allergies because they tend to have less dander.
