Poor Duchess!

[cjsmith]

Sunday she started acting suspiciously like she had a UTI. She'd go to the litterbox every few minutes and deposit a couple of drops. She'd also occasionally deposit some drops in random locations. Not fun. I considered sitting in my vet's office without an appointment, hoping to get out of there in time for a 10am meeting at work.

She quit doing it. She was fine Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday. I had started to think I imagined the whole episode.

Wednesday she started doing it again with a vengeance. The house was a mess. (Fortunately, small amounts are very easy to clean up. Also fortunately, this stuff is rather dilute.) So I made an appointment and brought her in this morning.

Turns out they won't do a thing with her unless they can get some urine to check. Of course she didn't have any! Heck, I could have told them that before I went in. Sheesh. And of course Thursday is the one day that my vet's office isn't open all day, so they can't keep her and watch for a sample.

SIGH

So I bring her in again first thing tomorrow morning. Meantime, she's confined to a room with a moppable floor.

Poor thing.

Four! I missed something...! Yeah, I don't know what I'll do if/when I have to feed these beasties different foods. :-/

Good point. I'll stick with this one for the nonce, because I'm already halfway in on this particular issue, but I'll switch to (at the least) someone nearby for the next round of vaccinations.

Joyce and Bob acquired two black kittens, Taj and Romeo. Lucky, the solid gray boy, adopted the four of them. Gizmo moved with me, and Leo adopted all of us. So we have 5 kitty boyz!

Oh WOW! So Taj, Romeo, and Lucky are "Joyce and Bob's" while Gizmo is "yours" and Leo is "everyone's"? :-)

As far as we know. I did pay for Leo's neutering... But it's debatable as to who owns whom (especially with cats)...

True enough! When Rick left our house we had to decide who "owned" Duchess. When we bought the place I owned Jackie and he owned Isis, but Duchess was a later adoption. We decided Duchess was mine. It made sense in hindsight; I had been the one to bring her home. :-)
