Little Girl: no stones

[cjsmith]

On Friday afternoon I saw my first ever X-ray of a fart. Air shows up dark on the film, y'see.

The good news is that Little Girl had no visible kidney stones. YAY! (Her kidneys were also a little shrunken and lumpy. She's gettin' older. Boo.)

"She's gettin' older. Boo."

Jason noticed over the weekend that Tremolo's eyes look cloudy if you look at them at a particular angle. I checked and I agree. I'm wondering if she's getting cataracts. :-(

I managed to capture a spark on xray film once (well, more than once, but one of them yielded a good pic, the rest interfered with chemoluminescent images that I wanted). I have it in my wallet, I think. It's cool.

How old is she? Seems early for cataracts, but I might be forgetting her age; I'm apparently at that age myself where time sort of telescopes and I say stuff like "Has it been four years already?" :-)

A spark? As in, an electric spark?

My kitties are 13, believe it or not.

And, yes, an electric spark (static electricity)

Wow, yeah, they're getting up there. Mine are in the 14-15 range (Little Girl is 15, the other two fourteen) so we're in the same ballpark. I keep visualizing Vibrato and Tremolo as maybe four years old. I can still remember them as kittens, playing with the red dot that lived under the couch.

That's nifty, catching a spark on X-ray! What does it look like?
