Henry's Cats - Paul, Ilsa & Kasha & the rest

Paul is home with his Elizabethan collar and recovering well. He's going to be on a daily dose of pain medication for 3 days but no need for antibiotics. He's eating up a storm and playing as well as he can bumping around with his collar here and there. The vet thinks he should be healed in about 2 weeks. His eyeball was sent to the lab for histology because his other eye is going through changes but he can still see out of it. He's recovering ok but some of the other cats are shunning him because of the collar. His brother Peter, his usual companion at rest, hasn't been seen laying with him - he's actually making himself scarce. After sniffing, most cats are accepting and some, especially Archie, still cuddle with him, however, more than usual, he sleeps alone. He was so desperate for cuddling, he joined the rest of the critters in the bed last night! Ilsa is doing great. She's so affectionate and recovering well from her dental surgery. She's fattening up but her hair is still very thin. The back of her back from about 1/2 way between her neck and tail is almost bald from her previous stressful environment. She's one of 4 that is going back to Henry's, after she's healthy and all others are healthy and fixed. 4 of the cats were Henry's pets. Kasia is still very very shy. She's recovering from her dental surgery too. She will probably be one of 3 going to the detail shop. Ilsa is Kasia's mom but they aren't very bonded. Ilsa spends most of her time on the floor or the shelves, Kasia stays in the cabinet. At Kallie's, Agnes and Hades seem like they might be socialized enough to be adopted at some point. Louie & Athena are still very shy and will probably be going to the detail shop with Kasia when they're healthy.
