Here is Pusel, he's currently recovering from getting poisoned.

How'd he get poisoned?

No idea, came home feeling bad, took him to the vet and we were told he has eaten something poisonous. He's a fighter and now he's a bit better, started eating.

Poor thing. You came home or he came home?

He came home, he's quite a traveler.

There's the rub. Indoor cats live an average of 17 years, whereas outdoor cats only live an average of 2-5.

I've seen cats mauled to death by coyotes, picked apart by owls, with their faces skinned off by people, hit by cars, etc. In fact, my co-worker's dog just mauled a cat that got into their yard last weekend. The cat had its leg hanging by a tendon. It died, but only after 4 hours of tremendous suffering. It sounds like your kitty got lucky just eating something that was poisonous.

I'd personally take this as a blessing, and rethink things for your cat's sake.
