If you have glasses that fit you, measure between the hinges. Might be more accurate to get your pupil distance checked at WalMart or some other walk in place. If that's off, the glasses won't be wearable. Learned that the hard way.

If you have an old prescription it might be on that. It won't change.

I took Miss Kitty to the vet yesterday for a general check up. She has lost a pound over the last 6 months and her arthritis is ridiculous. We let her walk around on the floor and the vet was kinda amazed that she didn't have a disjointed hip based on the way she moved. She weighs just under 7 lbs and she used to be a "fluffy" cat. The vet said she could take x-rays, order an MRI, or a whole battery of other tests, but no matter what we found, nothing would fix the arthritis and if she does have cancer or something else, we wouldn't be able to improve her quality of life.

So, my goal is to fatten her up. But with nutritious stuff, not cat treats. We don't want to give her diarrhea on top of everything else. She gave me some sample of high calorie food and I'm throwing some in her bowl and trying to get her to eat a bit every couple of hours. She is a FINICKY eater. She doesn't like wet cat food. She loves people food when it is what we are eating. If I prepare something just for her, like eggs without anything added, she turns her nose up at it.

I really should go to my office today and get some work done, but I'm hurting a lot, and my car has a flat tire so I'd have to get an Uber, and I just really don't want to. I can do most of my work from home.

Aw, man, Suzi. That is tough. I hope you can find something hearty that she likes!

Dear anxiety attack - you may be, for once, reasonably well-founded, but that doesn't mean that you are helpful. Please fuck right off.

I talked with the vet about "making the decision" and she said if Miss Kitty loses down to 5 lbs, that would be a bad place for her. But if she can put on some weight and is able to get around, even if it takes her some work, we should be ok for a while longer. I've never actually had to make that choice with any of my other pets. When my dog, Honey, was no longer able to move her hind end and just sat there whimpering, CJ was a wee tot so my mom took Honey to the vet. All the other cats I've had were when I was younger and they were my mom's pets.

I'm sorry, Suzi.

Feel better, Hil.

Calm~ma, Smonster.

ltc is completely miserable for the second day in a row. I finally got her to take a nap just now. I think it's teething, since she's not feverish. I'm exhausted.

Maybe just give her the people food she wants?

You eat pretty healthy, don't you? Consider skipping the specific cat-toxic items and letting her go to town?

I try to eat healthy and I do share with her when she is particularly interested. I need to look into what she can eat and maybe if I get something specific for her but pretend to eat it, she may be more interested. Silly cat.

In Jack news - there continues to be no contact from Animal Control. Jack could not have been any better with H. I had my friend's son B here yesterday afternoon and Jack was excellent with him too. It is strange that now he is better with people IN our house than out of it.

When Dallas was failing Id give her her pain pills in liverwurst. She'd always eat liverwurst.
