'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If it helps any, I spent half the day yesterday convinced that while I was at work the dog would have somehow knocked over the new bookshelf and crushed herself beneath and I would come home to find her dead or dying on the floor, whimpering pitifully.
Me coming in the door: "Why, you're not crushed even a little bit!"
[Not meant to be flippant, I really hope they can sort Mr. Kitty out right quick.]
I think you were completely right to bring him in. Those kind of symptoms aren't something to ignore. Poor Mr. Kitty. Still vibing for you both.
Holy shit -- that fire in Williamsburg is at eight alarms (Gothamist says 10, but I can't find any independent confirmation of that), and growing.
National Anthem Sung In Spanish At First Bush Inaugural
On Friday, President Bush blasted the idea of singing the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish. But Bush’s highly-scripted 2001 inaugural ceremony actually featured a rendition of the national anthem sung in Spanish by Jon Secada.
...
This morning, ThinkProgress revealed that, according to Kevin Phillip’s book American Dynasty, Bush himself sang the national anthem in Spanish. Looks like Bush’s conviction that “the national anthem ought to be sung in English” was something he acquired very recently.
Aaand now we're trying an appetite stimulant. And I get to learn how to give fluids. He is coming home tonight. The good news is that while yes, he was slightly dehydrated, other than that, he hasn't gotten worse. Not a hell of a lot better (though I can say his attitude is returning to normal now and then) but not worse. It's going to be a day-by-day thing.
Still nothing presenting as a cause. The damned cat just needs to freaking start eating and drinking normally again!
This is just totally nuts. I'm nuts.

Did you know there is a scientific research project called the SAURON Project?
{{{Kitty and sarameg}}} I have to give fluids to my kitty every other night. It's not as bad as it seems.
Yeah, I'm not really worried about that. I was seriously wishing I had the ability to do that today, because then I would have been ok with waiting until the Thursday appointment. OTOH, maybe the kitty pot brownie meds will kickstart him eating normally sooner.
I continue to hold a good thought for you and the Mister, sara, but it's OK if I giggle at the idea of giving a cat pot brownies, right? (Although I was already giggling at the idea of trying to get a cat to smoke up when I read the first "appetite stimulant" post.)
I have had ice cream, and it was good.
