“You can’t write a script in your mind and then force yourself to follow it. You have to let yourself be.” ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

sweet sunshine

Sweet Leo was basking in yesterday’s warm, delicious sun. Prepare yourself to be overrun by Leo pictures tonight. I can’t help myself. I feel so, so, so bad for him and how badly he must feel. Yet, his demeanor hasn’t changed at all. He’s still as lovable as he ever was. He still plays and purrs and eats and all the other things a healthy kitteh will do – he does them all. In the photo below you really get a sense for how different his eyes are, while being spared the intense side view (you’re welcome). 

here’s looking at you

Notice the brown discoloration. That’s the tumor that, from the side, is quite visibly three-dimensional. It looks a bit like a mountain really. The dilated pupil a result of glaucoma brought on by the pressure of the tumor, and the sliver of white shows just how swollen the entire eyeball has become. You can even tell in the photos below that there’s a substantial difference between the eyes. We’re gonna get rid of this trouble for our boy tomorrow, so let’s all have one big group hug now for Leo. He’ll be fine, and (sort of) good as new in no time. I’ll keep an eye on him. Sorry. Too soon?
