Kitty is back home!
We got him home today. :) As I posted before, we visited him on Sunday, when he was essentially well, but rather miserable. This was because of a) the drip which was attached to his front paw with a big bandage all around his paw, b) the catheter which was still in and bandaged tight to his tail to stop it from moving and c) the collar he was wearing to prevent him from trying to pull out the catheter. He was really grumpy when we came in, lying with his back to the room, but as soon as he realised it was us he perked up, especially when we were allowed to take his collar off for a bit. The nurse was quite happy we'd come to see him, because they'd not managed to get him to eat and we managed to get him to munch some food down, so that was all good. He was not at all happy when we left again and his collar had to go back on though, the look on his face was pretty similar to that picture of that cat with the 'lion cut' that's out on the net.
The vet's verdict was basically that they'd take the catheter out on Monday, and if he could actually have a piss on his own again before Tuesday evening we could take him home again, so Chris called them a few times today and we got the go ahead sometime mid-afternoon. :) He's fine, just doesn't seem as clingy as I thought he would be, but that's possibly because he's annoyed at us for leaving him at the nasty vet's place for four days. Can't blame him really. ;p
In other news, Chris and me went to our local registry office and paid 30 quid each (bunch of rip-offs grumble grumble) for the privilege of having both our names tacked on the wall saying 'these two want to get hitched, if you have any objections then tell us now', which is something that apparently must be done before you're allowed to get married. After that we visited the venue and had a good chat with the coordinator person there about how what when where and why and that sort of stuff. I'm glad we've gone with Breadsall, it's pretty. Asta, you'll like it as well, the grounds are crawling with bunnies. ^_^
Oh, and for those interested, the venue is this one: http://marriott.co.uk/Channels/globalSites/propertypage/UK/emags
