Our Loyal Friend T

T had an eye infection for a while and he needed to have the eye taken out.
It was very hard seeing him after the surgery, he had such beautiful eyes (he still has the beautiful eye)
and I have always thought he was young, and strong.

The nurse said he would not let them wipe his cone that had blood on it.
He was fiesty after all.
But he was hungry and she offered him the food but he would not eat it.
We brought him home and he did not eat after the surgery, not even his favorite Churu and it made us cry.

We just have always known him to be Strong, Mighty Thor.
I had many regrets that I should have noticed his eye infection sooner, etc, I have taken him for granted.

The kids slept with him on the floor and when we woke up the next day, he was gone.

He had managed to go upstairs with the cone on his head, and his missing eye.
We offered him some food and he ate some Churu and tiny bit of the food.
He must have still been weak because Frankie saw him and did not hiss at him like she always did.

I was surprised to be so sad that his beautiful eye had gone.
I thought we liked him for his funny personality and his loyal nature so I didn't think how he looked would have affected me.
But it was an beautiful eye, and it was probably also because he really was struggling with the cone.

Indie sat next her TT Oniichan upstairs.

We brought him on the couch and we sat with him,
and he purred a little bit.

The next day after he was a bit better.
He ate lots of Churu and the vet food. He did not mind eating the medication mixed into the Churu.
After he ate, he actually jumped up on the couch and sat on my legs like he usually does.
I was so happy he could do that and he wanted to sit with me.

When I went to the bathroom to wipe Mieszky's nose, T actually got up and followed me into the bathroom like he normally does!

Also another good sign was that Frankie started hissing at him again after 2 days of not hissing at him!
If Frankie thinks that he is well enough to be Hiss-worthy, that is something isn't it!

He also had his little companion Indie Kaijyu who would sit next to her big brother!

He is , after all, Mighty Thor, and Loyal T. No matter how old he is , and how many eyes he has.
I am so happy to have him with us.
He is smart, and a loyal friend.
My Big Baby!!
