I know I don’t usually include personal stuff on here, but I wanted to share with you my lil guy, Odin.




This is Odin. He’s my Norwegian Forest Cat. He’s very sweet, but very naive. While I was off at my job interview last weekend, he consumed a piece of a toy by chewing it off.. not just any piece, a one inch plastic knob from a fishing pole where feathers used to be attached. He had been obsessed with the toy since i brought it home a few weeks back. I guess he felt the need to conquer it or something.

When I got home, I found the toy without the feather attachment left on the floor in the exact place it had always been. I figured he had chewed it off and hid it somewhere. But soon Odie was showing me that nothing was passing through his digestive system the way cats do, and he was obviously in pain. It dawned on me on Tuesday night that he wasn’t well. Long story short, yesterday, he went to see Dr. Gruber and came out with stitches. The vet had removed the piece of the toy from his gut, and told me it was a good thing we did, because it was "jammed in there," and not coming out.

Now Little O is resting at home but still pretty sedentary and still in some pain, but he’ll be okay!! I took him home last night so he could rest at home, and this morning I got him to drink a little water, which he turned into a lot of water, so hes doing better. Keep him in your thoughts. Poor lil guy!
