Where have you gone.....where are you now?

 Percy.  Oh....Percy.

This boy has issues.  

He's such a sweet cat....so affectionate, loving and playful.  He gets along with everyone, and if he doesn't (with Missy Tee, the Queen) he keeps his distance.   But they never actually fight.  They just avoid one another, for the most part.

He's huge and he's adorable....and he has....issues. 

I have had "health" issues...a mismanaged gall bladder surgery that led to pneumonia that led to an emergency laparotomy that discovered a leak, as well as a bowel perforation.  Oy.

So, three times, no, excuse me...FOUR times, in the hospital since March.  It's been a nightmare.

Well, it's been a nightmare for Percy, too, as he is bonded with me.  

He managed to sneak out of the house twice in my absences.  Recovered, and fine, within a short time...but nevertheless. 

He also started peeing in my husband's chair, which is now covered in..well, covers with waterproof backing AND a pee pad every single day. 

While I was gone...each time I was gone...he peed several times a day in said chair.  My husband was convinced he wanted out.  I had to explain it was something else.  

So, I've been home a week and he has gone about 4 out of 7 days without peeing in the chair.  Not once.  On the other days, maybe once.   And just a dribble, a token.  

Percy is also hell bent on crippling me because he wants to hang out on my lap if I am in the living room and he is a LARGE cat that causes my legs to go numb.

Well, he is finally calming down a bit.  Hopefully I can stay clear of hospitals for a while.  That would be nice.  At any rate, Percy isn't peeing every day.  Yay.
