Hunter and another visit to the vet.

Hunter went to the vet’s again. He’s been lethargic for a few days and not eating his wet food and then Sunday he didn’t attempt to eat the tuna in water I put out. Unfortunately I got a large bill from the vet and he said “he’s healthy” yes he gained 1 ½ pounds in 3 months so I guess he is. He can be a chore to pick up and even worse when I tried to put him in the animal carrier. Spreads his back feet far and wide thinking I cannot push him in, “I am not going into this thing peacefully Dad,” then he turns around and comes right back out.

Cried all the way over and back and this time the orange tiger cat was there but there was also a kitten with large paws who came and sniffed Hunter out and Hunter just stared at it. The vet took some blood from Hunter and a sample will be flown to NJ and will have the test results back in the morning by eight o’clock. He’s laying on the floor by my desk so I’ll presume he has forgiven me about his earlier misery at my hands. I’ve waited to post because I wanted the feedback from the test which proved to be negative. The vet told me that I shouldn’t feed him fish because it could cause a urinary trac infection and that I shouldn’t offer him milk. I told Hunter and he said “Dad is the vet trying to starve me?” “I could waste away to nothing”
