Some photos of Yuri, recovering from his ordeal, and his brother..

[Princess Turandot]

These are from today. Yuri is on the left. Ivan is on the right.











Here he is on 3/27, after being discharged for the second time from the hospital on 3/24, with Khan in the background. He had a lot of fur shaved off, which is slowly growing back.



And here was what my poor boy looked like a day before being discharged after bladder surgery, in an utterly bungled hospital admission:





He was readmitted a day and a half later in heart failure. As of a week and a half ago, the place is still defending their care of him on round one. The whole story is at

1. Wow!...

He's been through a lot. I hope he's feeling much better after all this.

2. I'm so sorry

The poor cat sure has gone through an ordeal! I hope you sue the hell out of those people. I'm glad Yuri is recovering now.

3. "Yuri is on the left. Ivan is on the right."

Dude, how can you tell? :evilgrin:

They're gorgeous but I'd never be able to keep them straight - at least from the pics anyway!

Sorry your little one has gone through so much. Wishing him a strong and speedy recovery.

6. In person they look different enough to tell them apart..

Yuri has a slightly rounder face while Ivan's is more triangular.
Their bodied are shaped a bit different too.

Plus I'm their mommy, so of course I can tell them apart :)

4. It looks like he's recovering well

No credit to the stupid vet in this case... it must be all that homemade lovin' :)

5. So glad Yuri is feeling better!

What beautiful kittys! How do you tell them apart? In the 2nd picture I would swear you just photoshopped two different poses of the same kitty! They even have the same facial expression!

Don't let up on that hospital. Their care of him was disgraceful!

7. Thanks for your kind words and good wishes...

I hope that Yuri continues to improve. I'm still fighting with these assholes over the bill who still maintain that sending a cat home who could not actually urinate, was an appropriate decision.
