Trivial (Photo)


Moby has a "Trivial" tricuspid valve regurgitation, a heart murmur. Nothing that we need worry about, not associated with subsequent heart disease. He got his front armpits shaved, his chest covered with Aquagel goo, a funny lampshade hat, and was held down much longer than he wanted to be still. But he got through it without needing sedation, and with the admiration of the cardiologist and tech. He really is a very even tempered cat. Five point three kilograms of furry blessing on our lives.

Just found your blog. Your sense of OR humor had me laughing.
Sounds like you have one adorable feline.

Welcome. And, yes, he is adorable. And adored.

This photo of Moby is gorgeous. The B&Wness seems to really make his eyes look brilliant.

I'm glad to hear that M is not seriously ill. That's good news.

(Was the photo really in B&W? I didn't notice, I was so busy being impressed his blackness that I didn't really register the rest of it.)

The eyes, my word, one word, the eyes!

Glad he's coping.
