il vivre!!

Well, I have been waiting to report that Willy is absolutely fine. I have been waiting because I also wanted to post a picture of him.

However, now that he has recovered he seems to be livin' it up and is never around when it is convenient for me to take a picture. He comes home to eat, but otherwise he seems to be doing a lot of visiting neighbourhood companions.

A friend warned that he may be hanging with a rough crowd as his little incident last week sounds a lot like a drug overdose.

I am feeling a little too much like a concerned parent.

I don't know much about cats, but I have been told that he is fairly good-looking. When Willy finally allows me to photograph him, I will certainly post it.

Have a good day.

Part 3

Maybe it is true.... maybe cats do have 9 lives... or as they believe here, that cats have 2 hearts.

I went home after work yesterday and immediately checked up on Willy. He was still laying out back, periodically convulsing and twitching - was it perhaps encephalitis... or, just a really nasty hair ball?

It was painful to watch, but what should I do? We talked about taking him to the vet, or one of us injecting him or doing something else to put an end to this. But it was too late to go the vet, we had nothing to inject him with, and none of us could bring ourselves to do anything else.

Later, while I was laying in bed trying to sleep, I heard a ruckus out back. I got up and looked down from the terrace to see Willy struggling around on his feet, like he was very very drunk.

This morning I was worried when I couldn't find Willy, but Camille, the night guard, said that Willy was just fine and that he was out for a walk.

Hmmm, wonder what awaits me when I return from work today?
