More cat update

OK. The "something" about his "belly" turned out to be just 'náro's belly pouch. (Castrated cats sometimes develop a dangly fat pouch, and this cat is prone to overeat, so he's got quite the impressive pouch; passers-by who see him around our garden regularly assume he's pregnant.) The people at the pet clinic interpreted it as possibly a torn-off abdominal membrane or some other damage to his viscera, but ultrasounds showed no reason for further concern - it really is just the fat pouch.
According to the clinic people, 'náro is limping badly now (my reaction to THAT piece of information was "He's WALKING?!"), strictly forbidden to jump for the next two months (ahahah how are we going to accomplish that?), we'll have to keep him in a small pen (good thing Baby II won't be needing the playpen for a while yet...) and he'll go on a diet so his hips won't have to lug quite so much weight around.
But he's back on his feet and we can pick him up now. Such a relief!
Thank you for all your kind thoughts and well-wishes; as you can see, they helped!
