What to do About Rogue

 Rogue has improved but is not himself anymore.  He eats like a horse, howls to get out of the bathroom confinement, but still isn't completely stable on his feet and appears to not see or hear from his right eye/right ear.   This is apparent in the video, if you turn on the sound.

In other words, you can sneak up on him from the right really easily.

So....I don't know if this will improve.  This house is a threat to him if he doesn't.   Too many six to seven foot high cat runs.  Even if he could navigate them without falling, he'd get knocked off if passed by another cat or targeted by one of my bully boys (Sam, Slinko or Otto).

So, do I let him out to try to get back to some semblance of normal?  Keep him confined another couple weeks to watch for improvement?  Try to find him a one leveled home (no cat runs)?  The latter would be near impossible I imagine, to find an elderly disabled wild boy a safe home?   When there are still cute kittens jamming up rescues and shelters?   

Good thing is there's no rush to anything around here.  Especially in winter.  We're having some monsoon thing again, with wind and lots of rain.   There's no doing much of anything.

Nah, haven't heard a peep from whomever has my carrier.  Will it get returned?  I kind of doubt it at this point.  It's not at the vet clinic where the cat was taken.   I loved that carrier.  Not really "love".  Ha. It was very user friendly.  Number one reason was because it wasn't a clamshell, you know the kind that's bigger around the middle than at the front and has those brittle plastic clamps to hold the two sides together, that fail with age.  I hate clamshell carriers.  

 It was medium size, the very best size for taking my cats or others to the vet, and rectangular in shape.  Sadly, I am down to two, maybe only one, working carriers now, for transport.  Only one if the current one missing is not returned.  Old age, carriers suffer it too, but then I just make them into inside cat beds, when the plastic of the carriers body starts cracking and also breaks so the door won't stay in.  They make great cat beds, even if unsuitable for their intended use.     For transport of my own cats or others to clinics I exclusively use the medium size non clamshell type.   

How many have people stolen by not returning all kinds of equipment, like carriers and traps, over the years?  I lost count.  I remember Vicki of KATA, before she died and KATA closed, said she was at a garage sale in Sweet Home once and saw one of her carriers up for sale on the table.  It was even labeled with KATA and the number.  She marched over and picked it up off the table and headed to her car with it, only to be yelled at by the garage salers.  She turned around and said, "you can't steal something that's already yours" and pointed to the KATA label on the carrier.  The people quickly went silent.

I looked outside right now and its not even raining or windy.  Maybe the storm is subsiding.
