Auschwitz kitty

My sister has two cats, Kyo and Sanzo, they are named after her favorite anime characters, respectively. About a week and a half ago they went through two traumatic experiences. At least I think they should be considered traumatic. They got spayed and de-clawed.

Which translates into, they got their balls lopped off and their claws ripped out. Granted they were one morphine and other happy pills for about three days afterwards. But still. Sounds painful.

The kitties came back after a weekend at the vets, she wanted to make sure there would be no lasting damage or infections because of their removed claws, and where rather lethargic. Not surprising, since they had been heavily medicated. Well, poor little Sanzo, already the runt of the litter, came back drank a bunch of water and promptly puked it all over the floor. He did it again, and again. He wouldn't eat. He refused to the use the litter box. He stopped grooming. He basically just sat on the floor and meowed, or crawled up into someone's lap and meowed.

Now that last part is really odd because Sanzo is one of those kitties that will sit about two feet away and stare at you, but if you go to pet him, he runs away. So the fact that he let us pick him up and pet him was not a good sign. We ended up having to take him back to the vet because he lost so much weight. Hence why I've been calling him Auschwitz kitty instead of Sanzo. Poor thing looks like hell.

The good news is that he is feeling much better and eating again. While it will take him a while to gain the weight he lost at least he is feeling better.
