Thanks for the dance...I might have to kill my cat...

^ Felix with his kittens.....

People who have known me over this last year or so, also know that I have kind of 'semi adopted' a wild cat.

We call him Felix.

He's a fucker -And he's wild.

It took months just to get him to eat inside our house. He still never lets us touch him or stroke him.

He hisses at me every morning, when I give him his food. He doesn't mean anything by it, I think it's more of a 'hello' than anything else, at this point .
Neither of us takes it very seriously.
(I kinda get worried when he doesn't hiss).

He sleeps a few feet away from me during the day. (and that took months, to).

And then he fucks off for the night, doing his cat stuff, whatever that is -and we expect him when we expect him.
A lot of the time, he's bleeding from fights, and limping .
He doesn't seem to care too much about any of it.

He's definitely a bit of scrapper.
Sometimes he's back first thing in the morning, with a raging hunger and non stop 'meows' - and sometimes it's 24 hours or more, with no hunger and a 'let me go to sleep on my cushion for fucks sake,' attitude...and it's all fine, we understand each other.
Live and let live..
He always turns up does our Felix...

Then two days ago, he turns up as per usual, and behaves...well... well....not like Felix.

He sleeps in different places than he usually does, and he's seems agitated - and he's also lost this appetite (so unlike him).

I put it down to mites or something... ( I ain't goin' near that little twat, to look at him, oh no... - he'd rip my bloody face off!)

After refusing his food, I thought I'd give him some water, to see if he was thirsty.

And that when some alarm bells started.

He was scared of the water.
Felix isn't scared of fuck all.
He makes rottweilers run away , their tails between their legs.

But he was visibly scared of the water.....
(....hopefully it's because he just wants a beer instead ...but if it's not - I fear he might have rabies, the poor fucker).

I've researched some more stuff, and it doesn't look took great.
But saying that, he's not aggressive (any more than usual) , or drooling with saliva...he's just acting a bit..... weird.

We will see.

But if more symptoms start exhibit over the next day or two - it's the meat clever for my little Felix, the poor fucker.
He's such a nice great cat.

We've been friends for nearly 2 years now... and I respect that moggy.

If he goes downhill - as in seriously showing more symptoms - I'll end it for him...

He would end it with me if, it was the other way around, I know that ....
I can also guarantee that he wouldn't even be bothered to blog about it (if his paws would let him), the fucker.

You gotta respect that in a cat.
Hopefully I wont be called to decapitate my little Felix, , and he'll be back to his usual bad tempered self soon spitting away and scaring the devil himself..

(And you have no idea how bad he smells, either ...bloody hell. Phew! He doesn't seem to care, bless.... And that's with or without rabies..)
This isn't the sanitized US or Europe, btw - I live in the real world. Just for some context...

I hope to have better news for you all tomorrow.

I'm now goin' for a beer...

....he looks a long way from the healthy cat that you see here, below..
