Long update! I woke up at the vets on Monday, to find this travesty! The vet stole my lovely tummy floof! 🙀 I'm okay. All recovered! I had a couple of days of staying close to Hooman, but being too wary to allow cuddles much. I ate very well until Friday... #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 1/6

Niels is lying on his right side along a windowsill, with his head facing away from the camera.
His human's hand gently strokes the fur on his side upwards, holding it there.
The photo focuses on the large area of fur that has been shaved across his tummy, showing faint tabby markings on his skin; the end of lines, and some dots and dashes.
His long fur is a sudden wall around the shaved area,
His back left paw is resting against the window frame.
Bright light streams in from the window, highlighting his pale tummy skin.
Niels is a medium - long haired light brown tabby cat, with a white chin, a thick, sandy mane, an orange patch over his nose, and multicoloured eyes.

A close up photo of Niels's tummy. He is lying on his right side, with his human's hand gently resting on the fur at the top of his tummy to hold it upwards, and reveal the shaved area underneath.
Most of his tummy has been shaved, showing his skin with the natural tabby pattern still visible beneath, while the longer fur around the edges frames the shaved area.
One small nipple is visible near the centre of his tummy. Part of his back left paw can be seen, resting on the window frame.

Niels is lying on his left side, fast asleep in a soft grey cat bed with yellow trim. One front paw is draped across his chin, while his human's hand gently strokes the fur on his side, holding it up to reveal his shaved tummy, which is pale pink, with little tabby black dots and dashes.
His body is curled comfortably, with one back leg stretched out over the edge of the bed.

Niels is lying on his left side, on a grey cat bed, while his human's hand gently strokes the fur on his side back, to reveal his shaved tummy, which is pale pink, with little tabby dots and dashes.
His eyes are closed, but his head has turned towards the hand, his ears are alert, and his right front paw is pushing down on the bed a little, as though he's about to get up.
His long chest, tummy, and side fur sticks out in all directions, framing the shaved area.
Cream coloured vertical blinds and a dark wall are visible in the background.

Hiya everyone! I am returned from my kidnapping and jail sentence at the vets! Hooman has been letting me settle, but I've been very active, so they've been watching me closely. I've wanted lots of head rubs, and to be close to Hooman. I had a little bit of food... #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Niels is crouching over a small dark green cat face shaped bowl containing a few pieces of dry food.
His head is cocked to one side, and he's looking up towards the camera with a sleepy expression.
His pupils are very large, even though the room is bright.
A large open cardboard box sits to the left, with a pale wall behind him and the edge of a yellow cat mat visible in the background.

Niels update! He's out, and awake, but very sleepy still. His bloods are mostly good; his potassium is a little low, so that will be supplemented for a bit, then retested. His organs look good. He has a little sediment in his bladder, but not crystals,... #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 1/5

Niels is lying comfortably on a soft grey fleece blanket, facing the camera with his front paws tucked close to his body while one back leg stretches out to the side. His large fluffy tail curves across the front of the photo, the fur rather unruly.

The nurse sent me a photo once they'd got him settled in 😻 He looks unhappy, but he seems to be ok, not super scared, which is a relief! It's so kind of them to send a photo. That's such a great idea! I was hoping to cuddle Tom, but he went and zonked out in a box 😹 - Hooman

A close up of Niels, loafing inside a grey walled kennel. He's lying on a thick grey fleece blanket. He is facing the camera with his ears upright, alert, and his eyes wide open, watching someone behind the camera warily.
His head and mane fill most of the frame.

Furrends! Send help! The Hooman didn't give me supper last night! 🙀 But they fed Tom! That's so cruel! 😾 And no breakfast this morning either! Instead, they took me to a new vet 🙀 And then they left me here!!! Who's up for a jail break? #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

A close up photo of Niels facing the camera, with his head slightly tilted down as he looks directly into the lens.
The direct stare, with his long whiskers a little forwards, and his muzzle puffed out a bit, give the look of an unimpressed cat.
His thick mane covers almost all of his body, it's horizontal stripes well shown.
The background is softly blurred, showing a dark wooden mantlepiece with a cardboard box on the end, and part of a dark wooden bookcase.

No Hooman, I won't look at you! I'm sulking! Sorry for the late update - Hooman has struggled in the heat, and looking after me a lot. I had another emergency vet appt on sat, my third in 3 weeks, and it was decided that that was enough. So I'm having an... #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 1/4

Tom and Niels, the Quantum Mechanicats@tomandniels· Jul 4

I had another emergency vet appt today. I threw up quite a bit overnight, and this morning there was a tiny bit of blood in it. It's most likely just irritation from being sick, but I've got a med to protect my stomach for a week, to help it settle, and just in case there's the start of an... 1/2

Hi furrends! An update thread. I managed to eat a bit on Monday. Enough to not have to go back to the V E T! I'm still struggling. But Hooman is giving me just 2 grams of my food at a time. It let's me get it down before the drool takes over and I can't eat it. I'm still struggling. But ... 1/9

In this house, we celebrate pride, and we always will! Solidarity to the Hoomans that have to live their lives without the freedom to be who they are. We see you, we love you, and we shall allow you to scritch our heads! #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #Pride

The photo shows Niels lying lengthways across the black cushion of a wheelchair, with his head on top of a rainbow cat toy.
He is rubbing the side of his face against the toy, with his cheek pressed into it, and his eyes half closed in contentment.
The rainbow toy has brightly coloured stripes, with "YEOWWW catnip" printed on the side. A white fabric label sticks out from the toy on the left.
Part of a wheel is visible along the left edge of the photo, and the back of the wheelchair is black and grey.

I had a rough Monday! It's my usual nausea. I didn't eat all sun, and mon morn. My med didn't help. I had a jab to make me feel less sick. And a tablet to make me feel more hungry. And now I'm hungry, but Hooman won't give me extra food! - Niels #CatsOfBluesky #Hedgewatch #Cats

The photo shows Niels curled up inside a cream and red plastic cat carrier.
He is hunched up into the back corner, his mouth wide open, in a complaining meow.

I struggled with the heat a lot this week. So Hooman cuddled me with a cool pack on my tummy, so that I cooled down and still got the cuddles I needed! Today I really perked up during it! The cooling helped a lot! As did the cuddles 😺 - Niels #CatsOfBluesky #Hedgewatch #Cats

The photo shows a close up of Niels, from their Hooman's perspective. He is lying in their arms, resting against their chest, his cheek pressed gently into their left arm.
He is looking upwards with his eyes half open and his ears angled out to the sides, giving him a sleepy, not happy at the situation, expression.
A blue cloth is draped over his right shoulder and down his body, with his rather bedraggled mane and one front paw visible.
The human is wearing a red tshirt.

Yesterday, at the hottest, sunniest time, Hooman couldn't cope, so tried to sleep. So I moved to the windowsill, fully in the sun. Hooman called me words I can't repeat!🙀 Then they put lots of water all over me, which is why I was so spiky! - Tom #CatsOfBluesky #Hedgewatch #Cats

The photo shows Tom, lying inside an open cardboard box, grooming himself with his head turned down, away from the camera, towards his chest. His pink tongue is extended as he licks his white fur.
Only the back of his head, side of his face, very top of his chest, and part of his side are visible, with the front edge of the box filling lower part of the photo, while two of the cardboard box flaps stand upright behind him.
To the left is a stack of large board game boxes with fantasy artwork on their sides. The wall behind Tom is magnolia white, and bright daylight enters from the right, casting soft light across his fur and the box.
Tom is a short haired brown tabby cat, with a white nose, lower face, neck, chest, tummy, and paws, with orange patches, and yellow eyes.

Tom and Niels, the Quantum Mechanicats@tomandniels· Jun 25

Do what you can to stay cool, furrends! I insisted on going on the windowsill at one point yesterday, so the Hooman covered me up in the cooling towels. Even Niels was happy to wear them! We're both feeling the heat, and sleeping a lot. - Tom #CatsOfBluesky #Hedgewatch #Cats

Tom is asleep in a shallow cardboard tray beside a bright window. He is curled up with his face pressed into the left edge of the tray, up against the wall, his eyes closed and his pink nose visible. A light grey, technical towel has been draped over him like a blanket, covering most of his head, and body, down to his hips. Where it is above a bright blue similar towel, river goes over his hips and back legs.
Part of a white paw is visible near the front edge of the tray. The tray sits in front of the light grey plush top of a cat tower.
Behind Tom, very bright sunlight shines through creamy white vertical blinds, creating strong backlighting. It's bright enough that a lot of it is over exposed.
Part of a blue and yellow sea horse toy can be seen on the top of the tower.

The Hooman helped me with some detangling. I'm still not good with being brushed, but this bit of my fur can get tangled. I was very, very good, and let them work on it for a long time! Hooman said they were very proud of me, and I got treats! 😸 #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

The photo is a close up of the fur on Niels' tummy and side.
At the centre of the photo, the fur is roughly parted downwards.
The parting reveals a patch of very soft, white hair, that turns into fine, slightly wavy, pale sandy coloured fur as it grows away from the base of the hair.
On the right of the part, the fur has been brushed out to the side, with the waves being tamed a little.
On the left side, the fur has been swept away to the left, but is not yet fully brushed, and is a messy, wavy mass of fur, with loose curls.
Along the lower edge of the photo, darker grey and brown fur fans out from the end of the parting.
This fur is very soft and short undercoat fur.
Near the top of the photo, part of his front legs are visible, with very different darker striped fur, and right at the top, part of his nose can be seen behind his mane.
Niels is a medium - long haired light brown tabby cat, with a white chin, a thick, sandy mane, an orange patch over his nose, and multicoloured eyes.

Tom and Niels are cuddled up on a blue grey cat bed.
On the left, Tom is curled up, fast asleep with his face tucked downwards, his forehead gently pressed against Niels' face.
On the right, Niels lies on his right side with his left eye slightly open. His front legs are out in front of him.
The long fur on Niels' left side has been carefully parted along the bottom of his tummy between his legs. Fine, slightly wavy, pale sandy coloured fur is brushed upwards from the part, reaching over the top of his side. At the base is very soft, fine white fur that is almost straight before becoming the wavy, sandy hair. Below the part, the fur is swept downwards, but falls away in a jumbled mass of waves and curls.

We've been making a lot of use of our cooling towels during this heatwave. We hope that all of our friends across Europe have been able to stay safe and cool. Hopefully it's settled back down now! We'll try to explain why we've been absent soon. #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #Hedgewatch

Niels is curled up asleep on a windowsill, right up against the side wall, in front of a bright window, with his face buried into the thick fur of his tail.
Warm sunlight shines across his fur from the right side, with the darker tabby markings on the top of his head and ears, on the left, falling in shadow. A thin, pale grey towel, made from a technical material, is draped loosely over his back and shoulders.
The light grey top of a cat tower is in front of him, up against the windowsill.
The wall beside him is magnolia white, and part of a cream vertical blind hangs along the right edge of the photo.
At the bottom right corner, part of Tom’s front leg and white paw are visible, as he's sitting on top of the tower.
The front of his white chest glows in the light, along the right border of the photo.

I had my surgery follow up today. The nurse was very happy with my healing! It's exactly as they'd hope for it to be at this stage! I can come off the painkillers now, but stay on soft food for another week. The nurse told me I'm a good boy! 😸 #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

The photo shows Tom lying on his back on a dark grey duvet, with his front paws curled close to his chest and his back paws sticking up in the air. His head is turned towards the camera, with a relaxed yet alert expression. His white tummy and chest are prominently visible, with patches of orange and brown tabby fur along his sides and legs, and a band of orange with a few black spots and dashes across his tummy.
The bedding is crumpled around him, adding to the cozy atmosphere. The lighting is warm and soft, highlighting the textures of his fur.

Tom and Niels, the Quantum Mechanicats@tomandniels· May 1

I'm being a good boy, taking meds, and weeing without pain! 😸 The only issue now is it takes me a long time to eat meals, but Hooman says it's ok, I don't need to rush. Though they also grumble about still feeding me supper at 4am! 😹 - Tom #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

The photo shows Tom sitting in a loaf position, with his eyes closed and tongue sticking out to lick the tip of a plastic syringe being offered from the top right corner. His nose is slightly crinkled, and his ears turned outwards.

He's sitting on the seat of a wheelchair. The wheelchair has a matte black frame, black tyres, with bright orange spokes.
The cushion is black.
The seat back is black with a grey stripe on the right end.

Hiya furrends, I got the Hoomans very worried about not weeing, and got very close to going to the out of hours vets! But I did a decent sized wee, with no crying at all! I have an apt on sat, for the vet to check my mouth is healing. - Tom #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

The photo shows Tom and Niels cuddled up closely together, both asleep with their faces gently pressed against each other.

Hello furrends! I've been home for a while. The Hooman has been letting me settle in and keeping an eye on me as I'm a bit wobbly, and struggling to jump. I've been very awake, and I spent a long time making sure it's my house! I've been sitting on the windowsill, doing a very long... 1/2

Please can I have a #pawcircle today, furrends. I've just been dropped off for dental surgery. I've been in quite a bit of pain recently, and when I was checked in, the vet saw that one of my teeth is loose! They may have to take some others out as well. - Tom #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

The photo shows Tom lying on a light grey fleece blanket on top of a smooth, light grey surface. He is resting in a kind of relaxed loaf position, leaning to his side a bit, facing the camera with a calm, slightly serious expression.
Behind him, there is a large window with creamy white blinds partly drawn up, letting in soft, bright daylight. Green trees can be seen outside through the glass. In the top right corner of the image, part of a white freezer, with a red food storage container on top are visible.

Today is our Fifth Gotcha Day Anniversary! Here we are on Day one, and now, at year Five! We were quite scared early on, and we still have our anxiety problems, but we've come a long way! The Hoomans can't believe it's been 5 years already! #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Tom is sitting upright, his head turned to his left (our right). His ears are perked up, and his yellow eyes are wide open, gazing intently at something off camera.
Only his upper body can be seen, and it's obvious that he's being carried.

Behind him is a white wall, with a Tibetan Buddhist Thangka (for screen readers Tan Ka), a fabric wall hanging. The Bodhisattva Green Tara is depicted in the centre, seated in a meditative posture, in an embroidered panel, framed in patterned red, patterned gold, and a rich blue with embroidered flower patterns.
Two narrow red fabric strips hang down in front of the image.

To the left of Tom, a thermostat is on the wall.

When the vet, who's doing your cats annual health check, says if you're worried about a thing, you can book him in for a health check. ... Erm...? Hooman is not very happy today! Quick update! Sorry, Hooman has been ill 😿 My claw problem has come back... #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 1/n

Update time! After the antibiotics ended, I stopped being sick, and I did my first more solid poo yesterday! The pro kolin is helping. I need to inform everyone that Hooman was very wrong, and was calling my claw folds claw sheathes. They thought that,... .. #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 1/4

Tom and Niels are curled up together on a blanket.
In the foreground, on the left, Tom is lying on his left side, his head tucked in against Niels's back legs, with his front legs bent and Niels' back left paw resting over his face.

Behind and to the right of Tom, Niels is lying on his right side, his face, chest, tummy, and front legs completely obscured by Tom.
The fur on his side is sticking up in all directions.

The blanket they're lying on is light grey with a paw print pattern in red, orange, and blue.

In background on the left is a black pc case, and central and on the right, the vertical slats of a creamy white blind.

Niels is a medium - long haired light brown tabby cat, with a white chin, a thick, sandy mane, an orange patch over his nose, and multicoloured eyes.

Quick update: I was sick again twice Tuesday 😿 and I refused my supper as a result. I threw up my antibiotics and my anxiety meds! Hooman has Pro-Kolin arriving tomorrow, to help my tummy. I've been drinking lots, and Hooman has been checking my skin tenting,.. #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 1/5

Tom is sitting on top of a beige, sisal-wrapped scratching post. He is perched neatly with all four paws tucked close together, his head turned to the front right.
His ears are pricked up, and his eyes are focused intently on something outside the frame, giving him an alert expression.

Behind him on the right is a white microwave with black-tinted glass, and part of a grey cloth is visible draped over the edge of the frame. The background wall is magnolia white.

I haven't been sick again! My tummy is having the common antibiotics side effect though 😿 I'm still not enjoying humans cleaning my claws. I was very good this morning though: I went to bite Hooman a few times, but stopped myself! - Tom #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

The photo shows Tom nestled in a deep purple fleece blanket, with his back half under the blanket. His right eye is fully closed, and his left eye isn't fully open, and his tongue is sticking out.
He looks very sleepy.

The lighting is warm and soft, casting gentle shadows of Tom on the white pillow behind him, and a study soft highlight on the black back of the armchair he's in.

I saw the vet yesterday! I've been having a problem with my claws, and some are infected 😿 I've got antibiotics, and the Hoomans will continue to clean them with antiseptic, which I don't like! I was sick this morning too! 😿😿😿 - Tom #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #Hedgewatch

Tom is sitting on the dark teal cushion of a black chair.
He is facing the camera with his head tilted a little to his left, and down, his eyes are focused off to the right, in the distance behind the camera.

Behind him, an old, squashed pillow rests on top of a purple fleece throw.

Behind the chair is a marble patterned panel with a wooden mantlepiece around it.
A glimpse of the edge of a wooden bookcase is visible on the left side of the image.

Tom's still not always very good at holding back teeth and claws whilst playing. He gets too excited. And he bites my ears when he wants to steal a bed I'm in. It's well healed, so don't worry! The GFM for my surgery: www.gofundme.com/f/HelpNielsRun #Hedgewatch #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

The photo shows a close-up of Niels's left ear, highlighting a small, healed patch of missing fur at its base. His mane is in soft focus, with rich, textured fur transitioning into the background. Behind him, a white window frame is visible on the left, with a blurred view of an indoor space reflected in the glass.

Niels is a medium - long haired light brown tabby cat, with a white chin, a thick, sandy mane, an orange patch over his nose, and multicoloured eyes. The fur at the base of his ear is quite orange at the moment.

What's that, Hooman? You didn't catch my #Hedgewatch in time? Well, too late! I'm not getting out of my comfy bed just to watch out of the window for you! I'm comfy! Leave me alone to sleep! 😺💤 - Niels The GFM for my surgery: www.gofundme.com/f/HelpNielsRun #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Niels is lying on a light grey fleece blanket with a paw print pattern, tucked in under another identical blanket, which covers most of his body, leaving only his head and part of his mane exposed. A rolled up identical blanket serves as a pillow. A brown plush toy shaped like a turkey drumstick, with a light cream sisal rope 'bone,' lies to his left, lower than, and supporting the pillow blanket.

Behind Niels is part of a black PC tower. In front of it, between the PC and Niels, are two black external hard drives, and a black tablet keyboard resting on its edge on top of them.

Light streams in from the right through creamy beige vertical blinds, softly illuminating Niels and the scene, creating a cozy atmosphere.

We have those kinds of Hoomans too! They don't just put things on our head! They like to pile toys on top of us whilst we're sleeping! 🙀 I like your flamingo, it's very cute! - Niels
