Boy: That was some dream I had. I dreamt that I ran across a new friend. He looked like fun. He was long and stringy like. I wanted to show my new friend some love and maybe give him a bitey or two, but he didn't want to play, so he tried crawling back into the hole or rock he was under. Of course that didn't deter me...I simply set about trying to dig my new friend out, after all he must have been in trouble, trying to hide like that...and then he bited me. He wasn't a very nice friend at all...
Moki: Ummm Orange Boy, I don't think that was a dream. Your face and paws where covered in dirt when you can home Sunday night and your face was all swollen.Orange Boy: What you mean it actually happened? I was bited by a nasty snake?
Bean: Yup I am afraid so.
Orange Boy: Hmmm...you better let me go back outside so I can find that nasty snake and teach him a lesson. I'll show him who's boss!Mini Munch: What are you stupid? All muscle and no brain that one is...
Orange Boy: What did you say?
Mini Munch: Nothing. I think the drugs are causing you to hear things...
Bean: Well Orange Boy made it through yet another night. The swelling around his eyes has gone down, and he is now able to open them fully, as you can see in the pictures above. The swelling along the bridge of his nose however has remained about the same. We consulted with his doctor via phone this morning, and as long as the swelling continues to go down and doesn't return, we do not need to bring Orange Boy back in. We do need to continue monitoring him 24/7 until the swelling is completely gone. Since Orange Boy's nose is still swollen, there is still a chance that the swelling around his eyes could return and spread to his throat.
Despite this possibility, it looks as though, if everything continues to go the way it has been, Orange Boy will make a complete recovery. He is eating, drinking and showing signs of his normal lovable self. After only a day, Orange Boy appears to be feeling well enough to try and escape outside. Of course we have talked to him and told him that the only outdoor trips he is allowed to make, will now be supervised trips with Moki, while being kept on a leash. Needless to say that Orange Boy is more displeased about losing his outdoor privileges, than he was about being bitten by the snake. He wanted us to tell you all that he would take the snake bitey anytime of the week over losing his outside privileges, but we didn't buy it and told him it must be the drugs talking...hehe...We will continue to provide updates until the swelling is completely gone and Orange Boy is fully out of the woods. Thanks for your continued purring and sending Orange Boy so many get well wishes!
Now as for the package Mr. Hendrix sent:
Mini Munch and Moki anxiously knocked over the opened box to find out what was inside the package...They found both the box and the outer wrapping of the paper very fun to play with...
Moki however couldn't resist seeing what was inside the nicely wrapped packaging...so he hogged it all to himself. Find out tomorrow what he saw, when we reveal the gift inside with hilarious video footage and pictures for "Wordless Wednesday..."

Hooray for Orange Boy! I am so glad he is getting better and better. What a mean old snake that was! I am going to keep purring and purring until he is all better.
My siblings and I are purring for you, Orange Boy! I know you are sad about losing your unrestricted outside visits but I feel much better knowing that your humans, who love you VERY much and who are taking such good care of you, will be there to make sure those snakes stay away from you.
I feel for ya, bro. After I wint on walkabowt in Janyuary, I got grownded for life, and now I can only go owt on a leesh. Sheesh. The leesh suks. It's undignifide, and I'm 12 yeers old; I am NOT a babey!
Glad to see yer holding yer own. I used to ketch abowt 3 snakes a day and bring them in the howse and throw them up aginst the wall and watch thare guts and blud spray all over. It was grate. I never see any snakes wile I'm imprizzined inside the howse.
This is good news. We hope the swelling continues to go down and he recovers completely. We're sure he will. Moki needs him. :)
Orange Boy, keep up the good work about getting better, however, you gotta keep OUT of trouble. No more un-escorted forays outside. You hear dat? You are furry brave and also lucky. We'll keep up our purrayers for you and send best wishes to your exhausted beans.

We are so happy the Orange Boy is improving. I will continue to purr and purr for his complete recovery.
Don't go out, buddy! Like you I was an outdoor kitty until I was accidentally poisoned. Now I only get go out if my SS or her mom is with me. Yes, it's hard, but worth it not to get so sick again.

Yea! That is good news. We are so glad to hear that the swelling is going down. We will keep sending purrs that he continues to get well. It's not every cat that can say he took on a rattle snake and lived to tell about it.
Tiki, Tavi, Cody and Camie
Thank goodness Orange Boy is feelin' better. We have lots of those icky snakes 'round here an' the baby ones tend to inject ALL of their venom when threatened. He is furry lucky.

Dear Orange Boy,

Your precious face looks much better now.

Smooches,
Parker and Co.
Oh we are so relieved that Orange Boy seems to be on the mend! Ah the power of the purrrrrrrrr.
Sorry that you're stuck on the harness now Orange Boy, but it may be for the best - that way you can't find any new (and dangerous) friends!
Purrs and hugs,
Pearl, Bert and Jake

oh orange boy, we've been thinking about you the past few days, and we're glad your progress is good:) we'll keep purrs & purrayers until you recover.
...and, please keep away from that snake, he's a very dangerous 'friend'
- meaouwy troops -
This sounds fantastic! It seems your Mommy and doc did a good job!
Orange Boy, we are so happy that you are recovering so well, and hope that it continues that way so you don't have to go back to the V-E-T. As for losing your unsupervised outdoor privileges, your beans just want to keep you safe after what you have been through, and we have to agree with them. We ourselves never go outside, living in the city and all. You are in our thoughts, Orange Boy ... keep getting better!
Purrs and headbutts,
Sabrina, Sam, Simon and Momma
I am so happy to hear that you are home and safe!
no more playing with new friends outside!
so glad to read that orange boy appears on his way to full recovery. hopefully he'll understand the loss of outdoor privileges. i've often said a friend that bites you in the face is not a very good friend.
Oh Orange Boy!!!
We see your lovely eyes again!!!
We will keep you in our purrs and prayers.

We're just checking back on Orange Boy's progress. We hope he has improved and his human is getting some MUCH needed rest.
No news is good news!!! So we hope the swelling is down even further and you are doing fine!!!
Karl
just checking in on Orange Boy.
I am so glad that the swelling around Orange Boy's eyes is going down, now if his nose swelling would just go down too!
I LOVE your blog, it is very inspiring to see how full of life Moki is, I am truly thankful he has beans like you to look after him!
I was so happy to see those beautiful gold eyes open so nicely on your blog today (even though it was yesterday's post). I hope the swelling keeps going bye bye and never returns. Orange Boy, sorry you lost your unsnoopervised outside priviliges, but I'm glad you'll be a safer inside kitty now! No more trying to put the bitey on new friends!
Yippeee!! ::spin, spin:: We are so happy that you are going to be ok! It's so nice to see your little eyes.
Take care...and watch out for those naughty snakes!
-Jasper McKitten-Cat
We just now read about Orange Boy. What an ordeal you've all been through. The bite looks absolutely awful. Thank God that rattler missed his eye. We'll start praying now that he heals even more quickly.
We are very happy to hear Orange Boy is going to be okay - we are happy dancing!!
Mindy & Moe
oh Meowie Wowie that so very scary! I said see Mummy what happens when we don't go visit Moki for a couple of days? Mummy said that a young rattler got Orange Boy and because Orange Boy so fast he pulled away from the rattler before he let all his venom into Orange Boy. Good job Orange Boy! Mummy say Orange Boy be ok. He have to be for Moki!
Oh, I couldn´t get online yesterday and I am soooooooo happy to here Oragne Boy is feeling so much better! The pawsies are still purring for him - and Femi says:
