Yeah, he's been eating quite a bit. However, his fitness isn't very good. He's really very thin, and I'm guessing he just looks a bit pudgy since he's curled up.

I've tried not to feed him too much since it can kill him (I recall the cases of starved POWs in Japanese prison camps eating excessively due to starvation after being liberated by Allied forces and then dying from the shock of it). I've named him Zero in honor of the Mitsubishi A6M fighter.

awesome name for a cat! :up:

Good luck with your newest friend

Very cool SH! My cat and I are both quite happy with you!

:up:

What a great thing to do, my hat is off to you, good sir.
Cats make for a great ocmpany, though i fear my cat as taken a bit too much after me, he is long, thing, eats like a horse and is a complete *******, still love him to bits.
He just came and curled up on my lap when i was readin this thread :D
Here is a poor quality webcam picture of the bugger.

What an awesome thing you did, SH, rescuing the poor little guy! :rock: Keep us updated on his progress! Most of our cats in the past have been rescues or strays that adopted us. One such cat is the one we call Icy. She showed up in the middle of winter back in 2004. Was only a few months old. She knew what the inside of a house was since she wanted in so bad and is deathly afraid of the outside. To this day if she even thinks you are walking near the door with her, she will freak out. By the way, she is the spawn of satan. She's very evil. :lol: She is also crazy. The slightest sound will send her running. If the slightest thing is out of place she approaches it cautiously. She knows how things are suppose to be and don't like misplaced objects.

This one is named Dover. He is a Birman that we rescued from an animal shelter at the end of this past February. He was actually on the local news for their Pet of the Week segment. We called first thing on a Monday morning and got him. He's a real dork. He loves to play and is always chasing bugs. He and Icy are always chasing each other. In the shot above, Icy has become a fat cow, but she has lost some weight now that she has a friend to chase. She's still fat, though.

Here's a pic I took of both of them a while back. Now if they get that close, they start wrestling with each other.

You are never lonely when you have a cat nor are you ever crowded. :up:

I got to name the two cats of a fellow co worker. Bob and Ally (prefix that infront of the word cat to see how the naming process was done), but alas, bob was killed by a car after 6 months.:cry: They got a replacement cat named Fang (Loved to bite a rubber stress ball, hence it's name)

Has subsim forum found a new mascot...? Boy is that little thing cute.

SH, he is Gourgeous with a capital G!! You're lucky you're on the other side of the pond or there would be an attempted heist :lol:

Seriously though, he's beautiful, I've always had a soft spot for the Siamese, and I love the name, Zero. I'm sure that when he's feeling better he'll be flying around the house like one too ;)

How is he drinking? And has he been to the toilet, if so how is it? All are important factors. However, he looks in good shape aside from the thin-ness, so I think the forum has got itself a new mascot to stand up there with old Niki. :up:

Have you already been to a vet's with him?

@Oberon

He's become quite a sneaky little devil. Took him outside for a bit of exercise, and he made an escape attempt. Managed to catch him thankfully.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it on the forum before, but I've also had a dog for nearly 7 years now. Meet Wallie (sorry for the red-eye; makes him look like a demon dog):

Yeah, I had him checked out. His back leg is injured and possibly broken. The vet, whom I didn't care for, never elaborated on his injuries. His tail will heal, but it will be bent partially. Fortunately, I've still got a good enough memory to recall in the military how to properly dress a wound with bandages. I'll need to clean them, though, with either alcohol or liquid surgical soap (I'll probably go for the soap since it's less painful).

I can recommend Hibi-scrub, that's what we use on wounds. And don't use standard human disinfectant, it's poisonous to animals.

Love Wallie, he's beautiful, we've got a little Lhasa/Tibetan terrier called Sue, and a Collie/Lab called Max, as well as five cats :lol: Would never, ever be without an animal companion, I've met more nice animals in this world than I have humans, that I can say :up:

Do they sell that scrub at Wal-Mart?

It's possible, being in the UK I'm not so sure, either that or the local chemist/drug store might have something. Failing both of them, the vet might be able to tell you where you can get some or an equivalent.

I'll look into that. Thanks for the heads-up.:up:

Time for a Nap
 

Zero is such a cool lookin little fella! He looks so happy in that cage and out of the elements. :D

I think he realises what a lucky little lad he is, that's the beauty with a Siamese, they've got so much personality in them. I've heard them referred to as 'little dogs' sometimes, such is their closeness to people.
In the future, SH, you might want to get a cat-harness, some Siameses like going out for walks :)
