Man, my cats don't even like for me to pick them up in order to carry them closer to their food. Yes, sometimes they seem to be unable to find the food dish that never ever moves and is newly filled with smelly gooshy food. Cats.
Mmm, chocolate mint. I want to put fragrant herbs in my front yard to fight it out with the grass that I am betting I am allergic to. Will still need mowing, probably, but will smell nice and maybe not make me itch. Some weekend when it is not actively raining the whole time I'll get started on that...
I just moved the cat's appointment to Wednesday because it's now freezing rain and sleet and starting to be rush hour and to get to the vet I take the highway past downtown into Kentucky, and I'm just nervous about the weather. I can't take the cat tomorrow because my car will be in the shop all day getting tires.
It's probably okay to wait until Wednesday for an ingrown claw, right? I feel like a jerk, but the weather looks bad.
We had a cat with an ingrown claw. It's uncomfortable/ painful but not life threatening. Not worth risking an accident for, especially if you have any leftover feline pain meds from past vet experiences. (And if you don't have any, call your vet -- at least in VA, vets can call prescriptions in to human pharmacies.)
I know it can get infected, and an untreated infection would be awful, but it looks fine (other than, you know, the claw being ingrown) right now. She's not limping or grumbling or anything, so it seems like it'll be okay until Wednesday.
Well, Nova (aka NOT my third cat) is now home with her owners. She lives a couple of blocks behind us.
I'm happy she is back home, but also kinda sad. She was so sweet.
Oh, that's good, Suzi. I assume the owners were worried about her!
I am getting some great deals Christmas shopping....on stuff for myself. Oops.
Aw crap, it just started pouring rain. Just before I walk to the pool.
Less than you would expect, Jesse. She asked how long we had her, as if she didn't know how long she had been gone. Just kinda odd. But on the good side, she does have an appointment to be spayed and chipped tomorrow.
Burrell, Epic Tangent, and Kat (because they posted in-thread when this trip was in the planning stages). Also any other LA-istas that will be around on Wednesday and Thursday, hie thee to F2F.
I apologize for the drive-by. Today is insane.
