well, owlie's finally back with us and she's doing great. we're still trying to get her and kiki (my boyfriend's other cat) used to each other but other than that its been pretty smooth sailing.
i learned at the hospital (when we picked her up) that she is actually 4 years old, so she's full grown! she the tiniest full grown cat i've ever seen, she's like a big kitten. also, the surgeon had never seen a polyp the size of owlie's before and he might publish her ct scan in his next book.
the bill wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be, i think they shaved off a lot of expenses due to my situation (traveling a long distance, saving a stray). they also had the expense of her having to stay the extended time taken off of the bill.
she's got an appetite like you wouldn't believe, she's always on the lookout for anything edible
. she scarfs down her half can of moist food in less than a minute. the vet said that one small can of moist food a day was enough for her (150 calories per day). they say she's at a healthy weight at 4.5 lbs, she is so tiny.
the vet advised us to keep one cat in one part of the house and the other in another part of the house and then switch them around. i guess so they can get use to each other's scents.-000000009 (owlie wanted you all to know this
) sometimes we do allow them in the same room together, so far there is curiousity and a bit of hissing once in awhile.
thanks again for everyone's help and kind words. owlie wouldn't be as healthy and happy as she is right now without the help of this forum.
