Louis Catorzeβs skin problem is returning.
The fur around his eyes is thinning, and this is the familiar, telltale sign that all could turn to merde if we arenβt careful. In fact, it could very well turn to merde even if we ARE careful. Since we donβt know what causes it, we are still at a loss as to what weβre supposed to do.
We had a feeling that this would happen since he only had a short-acting steroid shot the last time, but that doesnβt make it any less frustrating. He wasnβt allowed to have a steroid shot within two weeks of his surgery, nor too close to his Loxicom, so we have been waiting until the earliest opportunity, which was yesterday (as advised by the vet). I was stuck at work so Cat Daddy took Catorze, and the vet, who hadnβt seen the little sod before, called him a βnoisy boyβ. TRUST US, WE KNOW.
At least now heβs done β¦ just in time for the full moon next week, which isnβt ideal as we could do without double the level of psycho, but Cat Daddy and I are just going to have to stock up on vodka and ride this one out.
If you have ever had a black cat in your life, you will know that the their eyebrow area can look perfectly normal from certain angles, and almost bald from other angles, and Catorze is no exception. The two pictures below were taken by his chat-sitteur last weekend, and they look very different indeed, so itβs hard to know from taking photos whether or not he is improving. However, if heβs eating (check), drinking (check), screaming (check) and being a complete and utter pest (HELL, check), I think we can be reassured that he is fine.
