i made my cat listen to the audio clip in from the article + he loved it
I called my skittish kitty, Aislynn, into the bedroom and up onto the bed next to me, and I played the Cozmo’s Air for her. No reaction. But she’s my “suckler” kitty, who does nursing paws and drools on stuff when she is happy. So I put on Rusty’s Ballad instead. And she stopped moving, just staring at me like she’d found god. Then she closed her eyes. I played it again and she carefully laid down with her head near the speaker of my laptop. I paid for and downloaded the whole song immediately and halfway through playing the full song, my other cat came into the room and stared at the computer like she had also found god, and now they are both laying near me listening with their eyes slitted and their ears ticking.
UPDATE ON SUNNY (aka Big Boss: Cat Edition, Nick Furry):
Hey guys. So news. Today Sunny went to the vet to get his pre-op exam, and we have learned a couple things:
1) Sunny has a slight heart murmur. Now the veterinarian not sure whether it was because he was in an unfamiliar environment and that was just a cause from the stress of it, or if it is a consistant thing that he has been dealing with that we just have been unaware of so far, as it does happen in older cats (and Sunny is 12 years old). But, this will more than likely effect how they proceed with the surgery when he gets it.
2) The eye is causing him pain, which we pretty much already knew, but the veterinarian gave definite confirmation and it may be causing swelling that is pushing inside of his skull against his brain, from how they explained it to me.
Which brings me to
3) As you can see from above, the surgery is finally estimated to be either $845.90 or $913.90, and this price is completely dependent on what kind of mediation he will need post op. Then the cost of him getting bloodwork and vaccinations today was $362.99, which came out of the fund we already had for Sunny (again, thank you all who donated).
Which means we are once again a bit short. I hate to have to come and ask again, but if anyone can help by donating so that Sunny can get the eye removed. I hate that my cat is currently living in any kind of pain or discomfort, and just want this for his well-being. So please, if anyone can, I would greatly appreciate it.
In Austria, we call kittens at that age “Autodromkatzerl”, which translates to “bumper car kittens”, because of the way their tail sticks up. It’s not a really common word, but a very cute one, I think
this is a genuinely delightful bit of knowledge, thank you for sharing this!! omg
