The sparkly balls on top here are not safe toys for cats! My foster Hedgie had to have emergency surgery to remove two from her stomach and intestines. I threw all of these away. I had just bought a package. Because of the barbs on a cat's tongue, these can more easily get ingested. Once swallowed, they absorb fluid and become large, too large to pass. She vomited up three-four of them, then became lethargic and stopped eating. Thank you to all at Sheets Pet Clinic who cared for her immediately and swiftly. Never had a problem with them before, but this experience makes me not want to take chances ever again. I feel horrible for giving them to her to play with and hope to spare someone else from having to learn the lesson I learned today.

Just one warning I read online while Hedgie was in surgery:

It's a beautiful day to be laying in the sunroom snoozing...as long as mom stops waking me up.

Sorry that I haven't updated lately on my progress, I have been busy laying here and my favorite spot sending myself and watching the squirrels.
I love it here I get to sit on my own cat tree where I can watch the birds and the squirrels at the feeder. And at night time I go crazy playing with the black family, Purple, Blue Boy, Pinky and Shadow...they are my favorite to play with. My legs work just fine now, mom says I can run faster then the others😹

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I did🎄🐾 My mommy roasted a 20 # turkey for us!
Mommy said I am a very good boy because I use the litter box all the time now. I can control my 💩 and my bladder, she doesn't have to clean up what I piddle and the tootsie rolls I left behind. I am so thankful that mom said NO to the doctors that said I needed to sleep forever...I am living the life now!

17/12/2020

I am a normal cat now😹 or as normal gets for a cat that once never was held. I only knew the wild outdoors....WoW how I love being a inside cat! I get do much love, I have so much fun running around chasing and playing tag with everyone, especially the kittens. It's warm in here, I get do much good, I get very soft blankets and even get hugs and kisses every day ❤️
I'm not a para...whatever mom says I was, forget that...I'm a Trooper!

Meet my buddy Charlotte, Charlotte is a kitten that came from my colony. She is a good girl and is getting ready to go to her forever home.
Charlotte and I slept together last night, I will miss her when she goes to her home.

I'm in my bed feeling sad and happy...I got to sleep with my mommy for a short nap, it was nice. I wish she would let me stay all night. She said she can't because I would accidentally p*e in her bed. Also others might pick on me while she sleeps.
I'm doing better...maybe real soon I can stay.

I met Schatzi today for first time, they say this is a dog, but I think she is one of us. I have never been this close to a dog, I think she's pretty nice, she loves me.

I was so sleepy...I slept for a good half hour in my friends arms...it felt good. I never knew being held would feel so good. ❤️
But then I had an accident, I p*ed all over his shirt. 😹. He said it was ok, I could p*e on him anytime.

Trying to show off..

01/11/2020

My Mom...I call her that because she takes care of me...decided to make me show her that I can kind of walk. She said if I can get up on the bed and get into the box I can walk. So I tried, they said I did pretty good and I Rock.. what ever that means😹

Ms. Daisy, who was born where I was born is my friend and she just wanted to help me.❤️

01/11/2020

My mom is baffled...she keeps asking me how I got myself up in this box. I told her I just did it. I know it's a good two and half feet up from the bed, but I did it. Don't ask me how just be proud of me.😺

Good night🐾

I went to Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic they checked me out and the recommendation was to euthanize me. The doctor said I had no feeling in my feet, I couldn't p*e or 💩 by myself, said it would not be a good quality of life. I would need constant care to help me eliminate and to clean me constantly because I would leak. Dr said I would be a lot of work and I would be a big medical expense.😿 Lucky my rescuer said my life was worth a try, they said I was a Trooper and a fighter so they said NO. The Dr could not find why I was paralyzed, but my rescuers were ready to find out and ordered an MRI. They gave me antibiotics and sent me home. The Dr thanked my rescuer for deciding to give me a chance and thought very highly of them for giving me my life.

The next day my rescuer found I had an abscess on my back by my tail. She put something warm on it, that felt good, wound broke open and drained. The next day I saw another Dr. Mid Atlantic Cat Hospital they were so nice, cleaned my wound, they showed me lots of love and gave me a medicine for inflammation and pain. I started to feel better quickly.

A couple days later I was moving my legs, I still couldn't feel anything on my toes, but I could move! Kind of😿...but I know they will help me and I will keep trying.

Hello I am ParaTropper Al, can I tell you my story?

On October 18, after being gone for a couple days, I came back home, to my colony, where people cared for me, I couldn't feel my back legs. My care takers saw I was hurt and called Saving Future Feral Cats to rescue me.

This lady tried to catch me, I was so scared, I pulled myself along quickly to a hole under concrete steps to safety. I thought I was safe under there, but they dug holes under the concrete and tried for several hours to chase me out. I didn't know what they wanted, I was scared, finally I tried to get away again by squeezing my way out the small hole, just to end up in a trap.

I took a short ride in a green Jeep, then was put into a cage all by myself. But I had food and water and a warm very soft blanket to sleep on, they even loved me, scratched my head and told me it would be ok....I felt so good I started making biscuits.

They didn't know why I couldn't use my back legs or feel anything, but they told me they would help me as much as they could.

I slept good that night.
