The Invisible cat / hoarder update. More photos of Louie today. We see him invisible and stretching out. Still fighting parasites.

Feb 18 the hoarder had a hearing in court to decide the merits of the case and how to proceed. The judge said the allegations were disturbing. Charges were ten counts of felony animal cruelty–one count for each dead cat recovered. Nothing more. Each count carries a maximum 5 year prison term and/or a $10000 fine. Includes a lifetime ban on owning animals. Unlikely she will get the maximums as murderers get less. She pleaded “Not Guilty”. Bail set at $30000. Jury trial set for Thursday Feb 26. She was giving two kittens in her motel room dried goat milk. Inside were also a dog and two turtles. Don’t worry Louie. No milk of any kind for you!

On the health issue, Louie is getting more medicine for his parasite issue today from the vets. Tough to get rid of. He learned his name quite quickly and comes when called like a dog. He never had a name before. Louisiana Louie sounds like a gambler on a riverboat!

Louie Is shown playing with a dangling butterfly, resting on a desk, and sleeping in a reindeer tent. He is still being medicated.

Louie is too tired to move. It is no wonder as he runs all over the house now upstairs and downstairs. He races up and down the staircase. He never had room to run before or even walk. He checks on Opie a lot with his face 6 inches from hers, She growls like a Klingon, but no violence comes of it. He cleans off her food dishes. I have to watch that to insure she gets enough to eat.

Monday he went back to vet for followups. His eye infection is better. His ears still infected so they got washed out, and ear medicine continues. We don’t know status yet about the two different intestinal parasites, but switched medicines to attack the second one now. The other one was medicated first. He did not want to go to the vet and hid in his old spot under the bed. Removed the mattress to get him out.

In or Out? Should I sleep inside the cat bed or outside, or both?
