7 Lives Left
Here it is. The ridges had been eroded away by his stomach acids and the doc thinks it had been in him for about 10 days. (click on image for a larger version)
The way I figure it, Bentley's got seven of his nine lives left if he's lucky. He used his first one up in March of 2004 when he spent most of the day down by the Sammamish River in Redmond and his most recent one by swallowing a dime. I love him, but he sure does give me the gray hairs. He woke us up this morning in his usual way of aggressive head butts for pets and seems to be back to his old self. Here are some pics:

Since he went in for surgery, we figured it was time for him to get serious about his health and start a smoking cessation program. He was prescribed "the patch." (actually it's a patch for time release of Duragesic to help relieve any pain)(click on image for a larger version)

Good grief, what a scare! I’m glad to hear he is doing better now. He looks better in the cage picture up above. I’m going to make it a point to locate and pick up any loose change around here after reading this because we’ve got a couple of boys ourselves who will play and chew on anything.

Great to hear Bentley is doing so well – glad he is home, I bet Gracie was happy to see him back as well – sure hope ‘the patch’ helps cure that horrible smoking habit of his!!!

Poor Bentley! Glad he’s doing better. We’re going through our own cat health scare right now. It’s my fault, because Sunday I was gloating a bit about having some money in savings for once!
