A sleeping, sprawled out Henry Lee.


He opened his eyes after about ten minutes of me poking him repeatedly. Still didn't move though, the lazy bum.


Whenever I sit in my office at my desk, Timothy is downright insistant that he lie in my lap, usually draped across my right thigh unless I manuver him to be spread more evenly across my legs. He's so roly-poly and slides right off anything I'm wearing that I've started constructing a type of hammock/sling out of the bottom of my skirts to keep him place. Sometimes, it works.

As of late, he has been a pirate!cat because his wonky right eye has gotten even wonkier. Dr. Joe isn't completely sure what's going on, but thinks it looks like some type of trauma. Maybe from the two of them horseplaying or something of the like, but I am beginning to suspect it is a flareup of the eye!herpes that the rescue lady I got him from told me about. As it is, I have two types of gunk to force into his eye, multiple times a day. One of them for seven days, the other for fourteen. In three more days, if it hasn't started to look better (or if it looks worse), I've orders to call another vet who specializes in eyes.

The vet trip, his first with me, was amusing at least. Dr. Joe tried to convince me to take home a very angry 10 foot anaconda that has been dumped on the vet's office.

Obviously, I said no. What am I going to do with a very large (and due to get more than a bit larger) and very shirty snake?

But, after cooing and who's a handsome little man? through the glass at him for a while, one of the vet techs was a little put off by the entire scene and I laughed quite a lot at her reaction.

Snakes are just as cute to me as Timothy is. I just can't roll them over on their backs and rub their bellies. It doesn't produce the same reaction. Less oh purr purr and more I bite your face.

If it's the eye herp my vet said to grab lysine pills from CVS or wherever, give 1/day (smallest dose should be more than enough but it's not something that will build up unhealthily in the blood). B has had some flare-ups that weren't tested specifically, but the lysine did help. (He was pretty much backdoor testing him saying try the lysine, if it clears up it's almost certainly eye herp, and it did.)

When B had the flare-ups, what did they look like?

[ninjalicious.livejournal.com]

All crusty around the edges, like his eye rim or w/e, the place where eyeliner goes. He would rub around his eyes a lot then too, because it was B and he takes it to extremes he'd end up rubbing a ring of fur away around them. The crustiness would be dark/brown chunky/gunky looking.
