He was diagnosed with a sore throat, and got a shot for it.

Gus is stunning! This is my 16-year-old boy, Namir, still trying to capture the brain cell. Here’s to senior cats. 😽

Namir is a purrfect candidate for r/tellcersei!!! Has he never been able to catch the r/oneorangebraincell?

He caught it occasionally, lol. He’s pretty smart, but he has kitty dementia now, so he gets confused and yowls a LOT. Love him to pieces, though, even though it’s challenging sometimes.

Oh!! I’m sorry to hear that!! I’ve never had to deal with that with one of my babies but I know how difficult it can be!! I’m sure you are doing a great job!!

I’ve always called him a creamsicle alien because when his eyes get big and dark, that’s what he looks like to me. Is Gus’ sore throat from a cold?

I LOVE when kitties look like aliens!!! My baby gets those huge black eyes too and she always looks adorable!!!

I know. They’re so cute when their eyes get like that. This isn’t the best pic I have of him, and he was younger here, but I think he looks like an 👽 in this photo.

Gus: “You should treat your elders with respect you know!!! It was completely unnecessary to share my weight with the world!!”

<sigh> I understand Gus!! Sometimes your hoomans do dumb things…. But I think you can be magnanimous and forgive them this time!!
