Last night he didn't seem like he was going to make it. Today he was up and actually wanting to be petted a little bit. He's so skinny though.<BR/>Hopefully this streak of bad luck will end soon!!!!Cassoulet Cafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16306008423079535539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333953604767977789.post-92191499471660269962008-10-16T09:07:00.000-07:002008-10-16T09:07:00.000-07:00Jimminy Christmas!!

I think it's the way I cope when something embarrassing or stressful happens. Wait, that is my good personality...the other one just makes everyone around her miserable! haha! <BR/>So, today I have to make up those errands as they can't be put off any longer. I will go in, bloody and scratched from my feline drama, because it's about to get ugly again...it's time for antibiotics, eye and nose drops. Sheesh. It's only 7am and I might need a stiff drink.

He actually sounds worse this morning than yesterday. I'm really worried.

Pets in cars always spells trouble for us - I hope the cat gets better soon, and vet bills are a b****.

I remember once needing to get a pill into our cat and I knew it was going to be impossible to get it down.. Our neighbor bragged he could get a pill down ANY animal or CAT. I said not ours. so he proceeded to pick up the pill and start to stuff it down its throat and after he pried the cats teeth out of his finger he had to admit defeat. :)Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333953604767977789.post-25217163725575159142008-10-14T16:05:00.000-07:002008-10-14T16:05:00.000-07:00OMG.

And sod the chores, I'd have needed a stiff drink when I got home too. <BR/><BR/>The worst vet experience I ever had isn't a patch on that though I found it traumatic at the time. My cat box broke just outside the door and William, a big, muscly, scaredy cat tabby did a bunk. YOunger daughter and I plus half the vets staff searched but couldn't find him anywhere. I'd only got him from a cat rescue place a few days before so he didn't know his way home and the vets is on a busy main road. They said come back later when it is quiet with some treats and he will come out. Later it was, of course, dark and a big tabby did come out - but when got it home we realised it wasn't William. YD was all for keeping him instead of William, but we took him back and released him. Found out later he lived next door to the vets and was always hanging around there. I went back at midnight with elder daughter to search again (slightly worried someone would call the police and report a prowler) and this time the real William came out - and, like your ungrateful cat, attempted to scratch me to death when I tried to wrestle him into the car. <BR/><BR/>I do hope he recovers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
