Pharaoh Is Sick Again

I've been up since 1am with Pharaoh. He was off a bit yesterday and then last night he got worse. He hasn't been putting weight on, in fact he's getting skinnier by the day even though he is eating almost non-stop. It's like he is starving, he is always hungry.

So I took him to the vets as soon as they opened this morning - two options - exploratory surgery or put him to sleep. I've already spent a fortune, so what is a bit more? The vet said I could pay in installments. Anyway, they are just waiting for all the food he ate during the night to settle. Then we see. If it's cancer, they may be able to operate. Or it could be an enzyme problem, which might be controllable with drugs. I just want the little bugger to get better.

Pharaoh Drinking

He loves to drink running water. Normally, he uses his water fountain, but sometimes he still likes to play in the bath with the shower head.

This is my boy playing in the water. He doesn't like baths but he is a bit of a water baby. He is standing in the water coming out of the shower head.

Pharaoh Update

Pharaoh is feeling a bit better. I got him to eat a couple of mouthfuls of food this morning. I went home at lunch with some Macca's and I think that got his appetite going! So I gave him some more chicken (he didn't want the burger). I got a proper hamburger for tea and he ate a bit of that as well. He also had a nice big drink of water.

Weather prevented sewing night last night, so you get cute cats instead. They were very hot the afternoon this was taken. They are sleeping in the same position, it's soooo cute.
