Quote:Do you suspect some sort of foul play? (Given that he seems so distressed, poor little thing.)
Anyway, I suspect after this experience (whatever it was), he won't be straying too far from home for a bit!
I actually do NOT suspect any foul play, though perhaps that's my own belief in Human Goodness...
I think Boris just got lost, somehow, and could not, for many days & nights, find his way home.
He's still looking very thin and ratty; his (skin) allergies look horrid. Still, he's eaten a great deal, so his little belly is kinda big right now, contrasting with his skinny limbs and face.
He is, in fact, sticking very close to home, thank goodness. Even today, 2 days after his return, he cries when he can't see me... he cries when he needs to go outdoors to pee/poop... he's just crying, period. Poor Baby!
Boris is the opposite of Happy Kitten, who is very calm and doesn't seem disturbed by anything. Happy's a Maine Coon mix, who fears nothing; Boris seems to fear Everything.
During Christmas we got a music-box, and both Boris and Happy checked it out. Boris ran away from the strange sounds, but Happy stuck his little head right into the box to check it out.
Happy seems too trusting to us: He sticks his head right into anything new, while Boris prudently runs away.
At any rate, don't I wish Boris could tell me where he was and what he experienced during his long absence!
