Baker the cat update 20190211: Full of piss and vinegar. That about describes Baker as of late. It's got to the point where he has to be enticed up to the feeding pillow with treats, and then he has to be chased down if my wife doesn't get him into feeding position quickly enough.
He'd figured out how to pull the bandage pad out of his neck tube collar - did it twice yesterday. My wife rigged up the third one with a couple of strips of medical tape. So far, it's holding.
