Yesterday wasn't the greatest day for Ollie and me.
I let him out to roam during the day because I didn't want him to be bored while I was at school. When I came back in the evening and called in for dinner he didn't show up.
I tried calling him a couple more times, and then, finally he came back at midnight. He was in a very poor state - lethargic, dirty, and it looked as if he had trouble walking. I almost thought it was a different cat, then I realized that it was Ollie and something was wrong.
Ollie's initial symptoms indicated poisoning. Not wanting to take any chances, I took him in to the nearest 24 hour vet clinic (where he's currently under observation).
During his general examination Ollie tried to be as close to me as possible. It was a little heartbreaking. He kept his cute, little head in my hand -- almost as if he was trying to do a facepalm - and dosed off a couple of times.
It's 3.30 am now, and as much as I'd like to try to go to sleep, I know it's just not going to happen. I just want to hold him and make him feel safe.

Ollie was moved to his regular veterinary clinic where he's getting the best possible care. We're waiting for his blood work to come back this afternoon to decide how to procede. All I know for now is that his condition is serious.

Oliver spent the whole day on IV. He's looking better. The clinic called me in to help them examine him -- he was being a tad feisty and they didn't want to stress him out by holding him down. When I showed up of course he behaved like the sweet kitty he is. The vet told me that he's a completely different cat when I am around, and asked if I could come in tomorrow morning.

Oliver looks even better today! He meowed very loudly when he saw me. The staff told me that he calmed down a lot after my last night's visit, and let them pet him. Because he was even nicer this morning they played with him. One of the staff told me that he was a very unique kitty.
One more day on IV and I might be able to take him home!
