Captain is home


Here is Captain, our cat in charge.
He is sitting up here and I took the pic from above (ahile ago).
He came home Thursday and we have been busy "making of him" and
feeding him and he laid down in a bed
of freshly cut spring catnip.
It was a test of our love for Captain to have the I-131 treatment.
He did quite well and back to his old self.
Once again showing even a stray feral kitten,
can grow up to be a prominent family member.
We all missed him on his 11 day stay at the cat hospital.
But the other two Tom cats were a little peeved when
the big boy came home.

  1. Hey, what's the I-131 treatment? Is that something for feline leukemia?

  3. Thanks Lisa and Julie for stopping by. I-131 is radioactive iodide. The thyroid processes most iodide/iodine. He had to be on isolation. It is to treat overactive thyroid. It kills the bad tissue and the good tissue is intact. No surgery and no toxic pills. Captain is 10 years old and this is common I guess. he looks great!
