Spare Cat has been steadily trying to get out of the Elizabethan collar for a solid hour now. On the bright side, her staple is holding.

Since I couldn't pill her successfully, the vet suggested trying her on an injectable antibiotic that time-releases over the course of a week. Which cuts down on the trauma for her and me. It's $30 vs a couple of dollars for regular old pills, but it seems like money well spent.

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under.

That is all.

I am totally going to ask if there is an injectible time-release anti-biotic the next time they want me to give my cats pills. Genius.

It's like that, and that's the way it is.

I love y'all.

BTW, msbelle, on buffistarawk, you should scroll down an check out the "Free Adidas" track I posted earlier.

My cat decided not to let me go to work this morning without some snuggles, so she jumped on top of me just as I finished putting my shoes and socks on and was going to stand up from my bed and leave. Normally, she'll just jump on the bed and pace around while I head out, but this time she went right onto my chest and pinned me down for some petting.

The vet says the downside is that if the cat has a reaction, you can't change it once injected. But as Spare Cat's history doesn't show any problems with antibiotics, it seems safe enough.

She has now progressed from backing up, to using the cone to snowplow everything in her path. I didn't need all that stuff on my desk, anyway.

Tino, asshat that he is, pushed me into a desktop in the auditorium and I know have a GIANT BRUISE on my knee.

Tino also made me gain 10 lbs and Tino is now making me go on the protein/salad/don't-eat-things-you-like diet.

FUCKING TINO.

Tino's not just on the list, he *is* the list. ::nods::
