Cena has been recuperating for 5 days now. He still can't walk, does not have any strength in his legs, and the vets still don't know what is wrong with him. However, he holds his head up now, stretches and squirms and scooches across the floor, eats, drinks, and moves his legs, all except for the left front leg.
Yesterday, he started licking himself and his right front leg, once he could move it close enough. It's like he's learning to move all over again. Cena uses his back legs to kick your arm away if he's had enough petting. He can now maneuver his back legs to stretch, curl up, or flex. His tail hadn't been moving, but I noticed today he was flicking it back and forth. He still doesn't have the strength to stand, but we are praying he will regain the strength he needs to fully recover. These other guys sure have missed him playing around.
This is our cat Sassy. They usually just tolerate each other, but when I put Cena in the floor, she came over to say hi. She has now gone to the other side of the living room and Cena is snoozing.
This is Milo. He and Cena run around and play. He doesn't know why Cena won't get up. He's giving him encouragement. Cena needs it.
Since he can now move, flex, stretch, lick, we're hoping it won't be long before he gets all better. Really wish the vets knew what was wrong with him so they could tell us how to help him, or how long it will be before he's all better. I'm hoping since he appears to be improving, it wasn't rat poison he came in contact with. I'm leaning more toward a stroke or spinal cord trauma, but I guess we will never know.
