โฆ There are many situations in the world of cats that are difficult for us humans to understand - Collage in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia โฆ
๐ช๐ธ ~ Estas son las ultimas fotos que pude tomar de Apolo asรญ, en mi regazo, despuรฉs de una visita de emergencia con el veterinario por un grave obseso infectado en su patita (aproximadamente en abril-mayo de 2024); ese dรญa al volver a casa bajo los efectos de la anestesia, todos los gatos en casa (Galatea, Enki, Kamui y Felipe) reaccionaron de una forma increรญblemente hostil cuando olfatearon a Apolo, jamรกs los habรญa visto tan enojados y rรกpidamente la situacion escalo a niveles peligrosos: Todos al mismo tiempo trataron de atacar a Apolo.
๐บ๐ธ ~ These are the last pictures I was able to take of Apolo like this, in my lap, after an emergency visit to the vet for a serious obsessive infection in his paw (approximately April-May 2024); that day when I returned home under the effects of anesthesia, all the cats at home (Galatea, Enki, Kamui and Felipe) reacted in an incredibly hostile way when they sniffed Apolo, I had never seen them so angry and quickly the situation escalated to dangerous levels: All at the same time they tried to attack Apollo.
Afortunadamente pudimos contenerlos a todos, y guardar a Apolo en una habitaciรณn de la casa para que se recuperara con todas las comodidades. Pense que el incidente habรญa sido provocado porque el olor de otros animales se habรญa adherido a la cesta donde transportamos a Apolo a la clรญnica veterinaria, pensรฉ que con los dรญas todo volverรญa a la normalidad, porque hasta ese momento todos los gatos en casa eran muy cariรฑosos los unos con los otros, Apolo especialmente cuido a los trillizos (Enki, Felipe y Kamui) cuando eran pequeรฑos y los 4 dormรญan juntos y tomaban siestas hechos una sola maraรฑa de colas y patitas por la tarde... pero eso no pasรณ, los gatos en casa, todos, nunca volvieron a tratar a Apolo con confianza o cariรฑo.
Fortunately we were able to contain them all, and keep Apollo in a room of the house so that he could recover with all the comforts. I thought that the incident had been provoked because the smell of other animals had adhered to the basket where we transported Apolo to the veterinary clinic, I thought that with the days everything would return to normal, because until that moment all the cats at home were very affectionate with each other, Apolo especially took care of the triplets (Enki, Felipe and Kamui) when they were small and the 4 of them slept together and took naps made a single tangle of tails and paws in the afternoon... but that didn't happen, the cats at home, all of them, never treated Apollo with trust or affection again.
โฆ After this photo was taken, Apollo suffered two relapses of his paw infection. It took at least three months for the infection to heal completely, and I learned how to treat severe cat abscesses โฆ
Apolo en los dรญas siguientes tambien sufrio un cambio en su personalidad, ya no era el gatito dulce y sรบper pegajoso que siempre querรญa ser llevado en brazos y amaba ser besado en sus mejillas, Apolo ahora estaba alerta todo el tiempo, malhumorado y desarrollo la tendencia de morder a la mรกs mรญnima provocaciรณn; mi familia, mis vecinos y yo no supimos entender las seรฑales y tampoco entendรญamos quรฉ habรญa pasado entre los gatos, pero todos queremos muchรญsimo a Apolo y nunca perdimos la esperanza de que volverรญa "a ser el" en algรบn momento, asi que todos esperamos con cariรฑo y paciencia, entendiendo y aceptando sus nuevos lรญmites y procurando minimizar las fuentes o detonantes de su mal humor.
Apolo in the following days also suffered a change in his personality, he was no longer the sweet and super clingy kitty that always wanted to be carried and loved to be kissed on his cheeks, Apolo was now alert all the time, grumpy and developed the tendency to bite at the slightest provocation; my family, my neighbors and I didn't understand the signs and we didn't understand what had happened between the cats, but we all love Apolo very much and we never lost hope that he would โbe himโ again at some point, so we all waited with love and patience, understanding and accepting his new limits and trying to minimize the sources or triggers of his bad moods.
Sรฉ que no estรก bien comparar y lamentarte por el pasado, pero hoy recuerdo con mucha tristeza cรณmo era mi Apolo antes de enfermarse de su patita, porque su personalidad en ese tiempo era รบnica y muy especial, su apodo era "gatito heladito" por su pelaje blanco con color caramelo y personalidad docil y amorosa te recordaba a eso, a un helado dulce (yo todavรญa le digo "gatito heladito" pero los vecinos le dicen "terreneitor").
I know it's not right to compare and regret about the past, but today I remember with sadness how my Apolo was before he got sick of his paw, because his personality at that time was unique and very special, his nickname was โkitty ice creamโ for his white fur with caramel color and docile and loving personality reminded you of that, a sweet ice cream (I still call him โkitty ice creamโ but the neighbors call him โterminatorโ).
Hoy es un gato 100% saludable y por si te lo preguntas, sรญ, estรก vacunado y esterilizado, que por cierto pensamos que con la esterilizaciรณn "se calmarรญa" pero su personalidad actual podrias describirla como "muy masculino, intrรฉpido, dominante y voluble".
Today he is a 100% healthy cat and in case you are wondering, yes, he is vaccinated and neutered, which by the way we thought that neutering would โcalm him downโ but his current personality could be described as โvery masculine, fearless, dominant and fickleโ.
Con su temperamento actual ya no puedo acostarlo sobre mi pecho ni acercarle mi cara de esta manera porque serรญa muy peligroso, pero tengo estas fotos para recordar cรณmo era en ese tiempo. Hoy Apolo es libre de ir y venir por toda la casa, tambien le gusta mucho salir y lamentablemente es un cazador efectivo y letal, asi que debo estar el extra de atenta de que no haga daรฑo a otros animalitos.
With his current temperament I can no longer lay him on my chest or bring my face close to him in this way because it would be too dangerous, but I have these pictures to remember how he was at that time. Today Apolo is free to come and go all over the house, he also likes to go out a lot and unfortunately he is an effective and lethal hunter, so I have to be extra careful that he doesn't hurt other animals.
No se cรณmo serรก Apolo en el futuro, si pasara por mรกs cambios, pero si su personalidad de "spicy kitty" resulta que es de por vida no me molesta, igual lo adoro, es parte de la familia y siempre velaremos porque nada le falte, ademรกs es muy gracioso ver a un gato de apariencia tan delicada y hermosa con una personalidad de guerrero vikingo.
I don't know how Apollo will be in the future, if he will go through more changes, but if his โspicy kittyโ personality turns out to be for life I don't mind, I still adore him, he is part of the family and we will always make sure he will never lack anything, besides it is very funny to see a cat with such a delicate and beautiful appearance with a Viking warrior personality.
