Jedi is getting better, he's eating again and he's trying to wash himself, but he's not able to do that properly yet, which is OK because I'll keep washing him until he's better and his Mom is still grooming him when he lets her. He's very small for a kitten his age, because he was unable to eat properly for such a long time and he couldn't get any milk from his Mom as his jaw isn't properly aligned so he has lost the sucking reflex. He had two breaks one in the side and one through the bottom of his jaw bone, both have healed amazingly well, and it's hard to tell that he was even injured, if you look at his face you can see that his mouth doesn;t quite line up and is always very slightly open, but you have to look really closely to spot it. He's playing and bouncing about like he should be, and he's a really affectionate, happy kitten. We also have his Brother at home, as when Jedi was in the vets he picked up and eye infection and passed it on, it became really bad in his Brother and I've been treating him with antibiotics for several weeks, but he's back to full health now, his name is Luke Skywalker, but due to his eye infection everyone has been calling him Redeye, so we have Jedi and Redeye. It looks like Jedi will be almost perfect again, but I won;t be re homing him, i;ve become too attached to him, it's been like having a baby to look after and I can;t send him away.
Here are pictures, Jedi is the black and white one, he's asleep on the hall floor, we had the pipes in the ceiling burst and it ruined the wallpaper and carpet so we took up all the carpet and stripped the walls and as soon as it has all dried out we're decorating it, under the hall floor are all the pipes for the central heating and you can follow the warmth of the pipes along the floor. Jedi keeps sleeping on the warm bits, you come out of the kitchen and he's just in the middle of the floor.
Redeye is the tabby one, he's the lovliest looking cat I've ever seen.
