Cat tails


My excuse for not posting for a week is the sick cat. She was a mess last week, and I got OLGS to take her to the vet, where expensive bloodwork revealed what we already knew. Her thyroid is out of whack, and we haven't been giving her the medication that regulates it. OLGS hates to upset her, and giving her medication upsets her. So he doesn't.

But the vet implied, not very subtly, that if we weren't going to follow doctors orders, we might as well put her down. So for the past week, I've turned into a screaming banshee on the subject of cat meds. I will not let OLGS shirk his duty, which is to hold her down while I shoot the stuff into her mouth. And she is better. Input equals output....

A note to readers from OLGS: Judy the cat has responded well to her treatments, thanks to the leadership of DomTran. She has upped her weight from a low of less than five pounds back up over seven pounds. She goes outside again each day and has rediscovered the joys of bird-watching. Not bad for a sixteen-year-old cat.
