Cat Update

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Hey, today is a good day! It's the first time in four days that I haven't had to clean up cat piss!

Yeah, so, Fern's still not feeling great, and part of that not feeling great seems to be expressed by peeing everywhere. But at least she's peeing on easily-cleaned surfaces.*

She went to the vet again on Monday (she was sure thrilled about that), where it was revealed that now she has a bladder infection, which could, possibly, maybe, explain the peeing. The good news is, the vet had some antibiotics for her, along with some other stuff to fix up her kidneys. She's not thrilled with me, though, because that stuff includes administering three days of subcutaneous fluids and then stuffing pills into her once a day. And I think she's blaming me for feeling bad in the first place.

This also means that the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee is staying with the neighbors for a little longer, since we don't want Fern getting bugged by tiny obnoxious kittens while she stabilizes again--and also, they've just learned to use the litter box, and we don't want them getting confused about that.

She does seem to be feeling better after a few days of such things. And she didn't pee anywhere untoward today, so things are looking up. Hopefully, this means she'll be around for a while longer. Luck to her.


*And she tells me whenever she does. Comes to find me and reports it every time.

One of the things I love about Eo is that the few times she's failed to use the litter box (either due to being sick or once because I got totally overwhelmed with stuff and forgot to clean it out until it had become unusable), she a) obviously felt bad about it and b) went on the tile, where it was easy to clean up.
