Laredo

This is Laredo, he is my pride and joy !!!

He has such a sweet personality. His nickname is Raydo (Ray - Dough).

He has used up just about all of his 9 lives by now I am sure!!

When he was just a kitten, he had to have stomach surgury because his intestines basically krimped. To explain so you can understand, it is like if you take a plastic straw and bend it at the middle, nothing goes in, nothing comes out!!! Well, that is what his intestines did, the worse part is, no one has any idea what caused it. But allow me now to warn you all that it can happen very easily from allowing your cat to play with yarn or string of any type, yeah, I know, sounds weird, the #1 thing most people think of when they hear the words "cat toy". But if they swallow a piece, it can get in a knot around their intestines and cause the same thing to happen that happened to Laredo. So, like you would for your child, keep your pets safe!!!

Well he got through that just fine (since it was either the surgury or put him down, no way, not even an option) and was doing fine. Until just a few months ago when he came inside and was limping. He had stepped on something sharp, a piece of glass or something, and it went through one of his back left paw pads. There goes another vet bill... again, he makes it though just fine.

Then on December 2, 2002, he had to go back to the vet because he had blood tinged urine, ended up being his bladder and so he had to have pills and a strict diet of only soft food for a while, and again, he is doing fine now. He was also fixed the wednesday after he came home from having a bad bladder, poor boy.

So, that is the life so far of my poor little Laredo!!!

But I love him to pieces.
