If you read my blog with any regularity,

then you will recognize this fellow

with the far away look in his eye....

It's TomTom, the omnipresent barn kitty...

my gardening sidekick.

That far away look could be the residual effect from anesthesia,

or maybe it is just TomTom dreaming of all the things he

is going to do with this new lease on life.

You see, TomTom has always been a snorty, snotty, sneezy cat.

He has been treated with countless pills and potions,

all designed to quiet his stertorous breathing.

Yesterday, TomTom went to the local animal hospital for a procedure...

a scoping to see if there was a removable cause for this problem.

Luckily....

YES

this 

lovely, 

large, 

lobular

 polyp

(I know....gross!)

was growing in the back of his naso-pharynx, obstructing his breathing.

Now TomTom has a new, quiet lease on life.

I am sure he feels better,

and most likely will have more energy 

with more oxygen pumping into his lungs.

"Look out mousies"....a new TomTom is here!
Now he'll be able to sneak up on those little mice
that have made our barn their home.
