After a few days, your cat will forget they ever wanted to be a sky pirate. They’ll settle into ground-level luxuries—warm laps, soft blankets, and floor-level sunbeams. And honestly, isn’t that where the best cuddles happen anyway? When my cat finally recovered, he didn’t even look at the bookshelf for a week. He just wanted head scratches and salmon treats.
So, take a deep breath. You’re not a prison guard; you’re a recovery coach. And when this is over, you’ll both have earned a good long nap. Maybe even on the floor—just for old time’s sake.
