Crap. I gave Kassie a small teensy bit of dry food, and she hurked it up a while later. Her canned food is staying down. Crap.

Maybe her throat is sore from all the chucking up before and the dry food would irritate it again whereas the canned food slides down her throat. As long as she eats the canned and she isn't running a fever it sounds ok. The vet did tell you not to give her the dry didn't he?

Racin, Molly looks like my Elsa. :-)

Costa, poor Kassie. :-(

Elsa decided to scare me yesterday. We're having hardwood floors put in. She does not like strangers in the house. The guys had taken the vents off all the registers the day before. Well, one of the guys opened a door and plastic sheeting that they put up for dust moved. Elsa flew out of the kitchen, ran to the dining room, and went down the open hole. I tried to get her out, but the angle was too slim. So, my BIL came over and took the vent off the line in the basement. There was Elsa just sitting in the ductwork washing! I kept going down there every 15 to 20 minutes for 6 hours trying to get her out. Didn't work. Fifteen minutes after the guys left for the day, Elsa comes out of the whole in the dining room like it was normal. She was full of dust and sneezing. She's spending he day in the basement today. lol

Gee Costa, when I read my post back I sound like a mom when what I meant was maybe that was why the vet said no dry food because her throat could be sore. I was not chastising you in any way but trying to ease your worry.

That is the trouble with not being able to see the person you are talking to...I would be hugging you and telling you Kassie will be all right and you are doing the best you can. I know how much Kassie means to you and how worried you are.

LOL SG. It's almost feeling like an obstruction. Since the canned does "slide" down. I don't know if she upchucked as a result of being pissed I gave her her meds or not. It was only a few minutes (5? 10?) after I gave her the squirt of medicine that she decided to hurk things back up. And the dry food that came up was from a couple of hours before.

I know the vet said to give her canned, but I was to danged tired of her bugging me.

And don't worry... I didn't get a chastise vibe from your post. You pretty much said what the vet said when I called yesterday... keep her on the canned. It's just a pain in the butt, and she's so USED to eating crunchy stuff.

She SEEMS to be fine. She's cuddled in my lap already this morning. She's eating (albeit canned crap). She's not walking around whining... but she is hanging out with Costa and me and being normal. Except for the bit of upchuck yesterday, I'd have thought she was all better. I think part of the upchuck was a reaction to the medicine. It's possible she got some air with it, or something, because she coughed right before she hurked.

And the heck with poor Kassie y'all! Poor Kassie's MOM!!!! Still such an ordeal to feed two cats two completely separate types of food. The two different dry foods... not an issue. But Costa thinks she's getting treated special and boy is he pouting!

The humane Society is so over loaded with cats all cats a year or older are 37.50 and Kittens are buy one get one free! I asked what was going on they said they have over 250 kittens in foster care right now!!! I wanted to take more home but DH has some issues with cats and can get tough on his nose so I stuck with one. The Kid are in love fighting over where Molly should sleep!!! It had been a fun week and she has got a loud motor on her

This is the time of year where there is a surplus of kittens. Pretty much all humane societies will be full to the brim and running specials on cats. I couldn't believe the number of kittens scampering around at the cat rescue place I was at the other day... literally dozens of 'em!

A couple of months ago, I ran into an auction on eBay where a person was selling beads with hand painted animals on them. Very cute looking generic cat and dog stuff.

I sent him an email asking if he did custom requests and he told me to send some photos and he'd let me know.

I sent this:






At first, I wanted to have all four on one side of the bead but the artist and I came to the conclusion that it would be too much. We decided on a double sided bead with a swivel, girls on one side - boys on the other.

I got it in the mail today and had to share. The actual size is about 1" x 1".




I think it came out great - I can't wait to wear it!

One year I did all cat ornaments on my tree. And there were two people I bought ornaments from who customized them. One of the women also does paintings, and she used my kids as models (one of them I found she did without telling me; the other she finally told me -- and naturally I bought both paintings, too!). But the ornies are so cool!

Firstly, the pictures were great how did you get those? Secondly, the charm is adorable!! The artist did a great job!!

Thirdly, is there a rule with cats that says if you catch a swatch of sun, you must roll over, adopt a porn-ish position and proceed to nap? My cats stopped in mid-chase, flopped into different patches of sun, Max got into his "Behind the Green Door" stance, and Puss went for something more "Emmanuelle"-esque. And let the napping commence.

I dunno about the rule, GAL, but...

Kassie always assume her position in the mornings. While I'm drinking coffee and reading the paper, she's laying on the floor right by me, on her back, back legs wide open, front paws on her chest like an otter. And she sleeps like that!!!!

BTW, she's been cleared by the vet. Her creatine levels are high-normal, so she'll go back in for testing in December. But she's now cleared to go back on dry food (thank you, Dr Green!) and back to her normal diet without no stinkin' messy orange medicine. Yay!!

Hmm... I didn't realize I got dotted. Just think of a word that begins with "s-l" and rhymes with "but"!

And me, too, GAL!!! Between worrying about her and having to deal with the feeding time saga... We're glad we're back to "normal!"

Thank heavens everything is all right. Did the vet ever say what he thought happened?

I completely panic when they don't feel good. To nite I found a bruise mark on one of the puppies bellies and I'm screaming for DH to come look. He said it looked like one of his brothers was nursing on him and gave him a hickie. I'm ready to call the vet. ($85 plus office call for emergencys)

Glad Kassie is getting back to normal, Costa!

SG, wonder if you could ice it gently ans see if it responded?

You don't think it could be a little hernia, do you? Usually those are near the umbilicus if the mom gets a bit frisky when she pulls on the cord (or if)

Absolutely NO idea. Since it's not common for cats to get the stomach flu, the vet has no idea. But since all is well now, I'll just cross my fingers and hope that she's the odd one and just got herself an upset tummy.

LOL @ the hickie! But hubby is probably right, if it's in the middle of the pup's tummy! Too funny if that's what happened! And it would've made a heckuva picture!!! :-)
