My sweet dumb boy fell from a high place a few days ago and had to go to the ER. Luckily nothing major but he was in a lot of pain and had to be watched closely for a couple of days and confined so he could rest and recover. I locked him upstairs with wet food and water, sat with him, gave him medicine, carried him up to his perches so he wouldn't have to jump, kept a warm bed for him and wrapped him with blankets etc. You know just looked after him I guess.

He's better now and I swear he's grateful. Like I notice a change in his demeanor. He was never much of a cuddler but now he's always seeking me out or on me. It's really sweet.

This is my first cat, I am learning a lot about them. I didn't know they could express gratitude so strongly this way. I feel like we really bonded and I hope he stays sweet even when the weather warms up lol
