Greeble infestation X pole dancing!

Is there a science behind cats loving sink & shower drains?

Idk if I’m a crazy cat lady but it’s the first time I’m away from my two boys (louie (grey), ~ 1Y & Lennox (brown), ~ 7months) for more than a few days. I’m in Thailand for family vacation for 2ish weeks and it’s only been 24 hours.

I have a friend who’s visiting them daily and spending time with them while I’m gone.

Please feel free to share pics of your fur babies, and how to not feel like crying in their absence :’)

I hope I explain this correctly, but since I’ve adopted Louie (he’s now around 1 year old), we have played this hide-and-seek/hunter game.

It’s quite easy to start the game with him, but rather than hiding in a different room, I simply hide behind an object and we make eye contact. Sometimes my body isn’t even hidden, but my eyes are. Then i move my eyes out of his view, back in his view, and on and on. Sometimes he will sneak closer to me when i recede, it reminds me of those hallway video games where the scary creature gets closer when you look away and look back.

Anyways he then tries to run up on me, it’s never aggressive but so funny. His eyes will be dilated the entirety of this game, which is when I know stealth mode is activated. I have a short video to showcase our little game (usually we play for longer before he sneak attacks me).

Curious if anyone else’s fur babies do this?

This is Lennox. He kinda has a more smush face like a Burmese (rescue vets said this not me) but nonetheless he is my baby and he’s perfect idc what he is.

How dark we think he’s gonna get?

Meet Lennox! My beautiful second son. He’s around 6/7 months old.

Rescued him but they suspect he has some Burmese in him due to his flatter face. No clue. Doesn’t matter to me.

His fur color is so unique to me so just curious what genetics would generate this beautiful coat, and if he will get darker brown as he ages? He has dark pink toe beans.

He doesn’t have stripes, those are just ghost stripes, although it certainly looks like it!

To preface, already been to emergency vet last night ($1,600 later).

Main issue: my cat Louie was positioned in the same spot sitting near window stairway I have for him and eyes were extremely dilated and he seemed to be looking around frantically, grooming himself more than usual, and star-gazing. Cognitive function seemed very off. Almost looks stressed out.

Age: about 12-13 months old / neutered / can afford pet care but running low on his annual insurance maximum

I administered Revolution Plus yesterday around 3/4 PM, which he has received before. Slightly above the shoulder blades behind his head/neck as he has been able to paw at it before. No issues in past. I took him to the emergency vet when I noticed this around 8pm as he was not moving from his spot really and seemed to be frantically looking around and licking his lips and grooming himself. Not sure if Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome, as he hadn’t shown this before, but some of the videos i see online look kind of like it minus the aggression to his tail.

We did X-rays, eye pressure test and dye, blood test, and blood pressure (his was slightly high at 140). Everything seemed OK according to the vet. His pupils were dilated throughout the rest of the night until this morning but he still seems super out of it just staring with his tongue out. They did give him some half-sedative (can’t recall the medication) just because he seemed really stressed (which isn’t normal for him).

I’m at a loss for what to do because his pupils went down but he’s still acting a little off. They said he did show some gastrointestinal upset and not sure if the sedative can cause loss of bowel control but he did go #2 and kept licking in that area while in my bedroom when he knows to use the litter box. There was a tiny bit of bright red blood but again not sure if that was from the medication and since he was holding it in for quite a bit. The only changes yesterday was I gave him Pate Turkey Liver wet food (he’s been super picky lately and i only gave him a little) and then the Rev Plus..

I’ll show what he looked like last night and this morning, and the video that seems to look a little bit like how he was acting last night when we got back (he did get a random burst of energy towards his tail), but other than that haven’t noticed any discomfort in his back or skin.

I just don’t know if this is a temporary issue with Rev Plus and if i should wait it out as the vet suggested maybe some sort of toxin or if we should jump to Neurologist visit. He seems stable otherwise is eating. Going to bathroom Normal again (he is prone to upset stomach in general).

Appreciate any help in advance - im a wreck.
