Just not sure whether to pick him up for cuddles while he is still groggy from surgery...

He has been homeless for 4 yrs, but has recently allowed for extended petting while rumbling & making biscuits.

So I'm thinking to introduce him to cuddles while he is still groggy.

Get him used to you when he is a bit out of it - he will remember your smell and know that you will not hurt him.

Congratulations and good luck!

from the surgery. I would pet him, but not pick him up.

the word "pet" to "let" in my post. Fixed it to say that I would only "pet" him after surgery.

(I hate it when autocorrect changes a perfectly good word to something else, as if second guessing what I mean.)

I would'nt be able to resist getting a pet or two in while he was groggy. Its damn near impossible for me not to do it.

I'm thinking while he is groggy after surgery would be a great time to introduce him to cuddles & hugs!

But I don't want to hurt him.

Love to see pics soon!

Medal of Honor.

have advised.

Sending lots of vibes for best possible outcome for all.

Any luck with the really scared one yet?

Good thing because ice storm & temps near zero with high winds coming Thurs!

He did come sort of near me last night. Fingers crossed. He might be the next addition to my family. Lol

Ty for your great energy!

coming in.

I'd never experienced an ice storm till last winter. It was heartbreaking to stand outside & listen to tree branches breaking...and watching them fall.

It's only forecast for 3 days sub freezing, but last winter, over 100 water mains broke in Memphis. Nothing here is built for this kind of cold.

Fortunately, my home is very well insulated & ductless hvac is great, but the poor trees. 😓

Ty again!

on the grapes would help.

But I have huge pines. It would cost a fortune that I don't have.

Good kitty, good daddy.

will try and play with each other under the closed door as curiosity gets the best of them. Don't know about pitties.
