Otak (kitty with broken back)

UPDATE: I wanted to share the latest on Otak's progress (when rescued by Buyun he was called Titi). We named him after a furry little creature in a science fiction novel. Even though this little kitten's spine is in two pieces, incredibly, our miracle-working vet has managed to recover nerves and mobility in one hindleg and the inside of the other one! This week will be the last of our scheduled acupuncture treatment sessions and I will be shown how to give him massage therapy. Ideally, the little one should be swimming to improve the use of the one leg. He drags the one leg and the top part of the paw gets rough treatment on the bathroom tiles, so I have been working on socks and solutions...a real headache! This week the vet and I figured out veterinary tape will do the trick, yay! As I mentioned before, we are lucky that he is able to use an ordinary litter box and does not require any help eliminating. He has never had an accident either. Our darling little boy is just a joy, especially I think, to his ten month-old brother who now has a live, in-house entertainment centre 24/7! It took approximately three weeks for territorial and hierarchial issues to be settled, and it is heart-warming that they now can play, sleep and eat together. I've also made the considered committment to go vegan with both their feeding and now prepare all their meals myself and have found sites from which I can order the necessary ingredients online. We couldn't have been happier to bring Otak into our lives, and are such proud parents of our two boys.
