Huntly's walking is improving everyday & only when he gets tired does he drag his back legs. He's gained just over a kilogram in weight which is great because he was so malnourished when we discovered him.

Huntly is getting on really well with the German Shepherd that  shares our house. He likes jumping out from behind the furniture to give him a fright & the Shepherd is often seen throwing Huntly his rubber ball. The relationship that is developing between them is lovely to watch. Unfortunately Huntly's neutering couldn't be done today. His vet has found he has some major dental & gum issues. He has to be treated with antibiotics before he can be operated on in 2 weeks.

Huntlywill be neutered & have the worst of his teeth removed. It's so sad to see such a young cat affected like this. He's in this state because of major neglect during his early development. He has probably had rickets too & will also be tested for feline AIDS... so all in all it wasn't good news. For a cat that is probably only 10 months old this is very unfair. However, his vet is very hopeful we can get him on the right track. She was impressed with  his heartbeat & the size of his testicles. "The biggest balls" she'd ever seen apparently. I presume she meant within the feline range!!

How lovely that he's getting on so well with your dog! It's amazing how different species can become friends when they share a home. I hope that his dental work and neutering goes well and that he's free of AIDS. It's sad that he's been neglected in the past but at least he's being well cared for now thanks to you!
