Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Theodosia, if nothing else, call the local emergency vet and ask. They should able to tell you what to do until you can reach the regular vet or the owner. Err on the side of less, not more, and keep an eye on the cat.

Orange caps, right?
I talked to Animal poison control people, and the consensus is that I overdosed him somewhat. (In my defense, I was very tired.) In order not to risk killing my friend's cat, I'm going to take him into the emergency vet....
I really should have investigated more before dosing, but I thought the marking were for 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and so on. Because I'm stupid.

I cannot help with cat dosage.
My "butcher CSA" is changing their program from site pick-up to delivery to my door. On the one hand, Box o' Meat delivered to me, yay! On the other, I no longer have an excuse to go have a beer with my parents at the really rather nice brewpub with the tasty selection but not exactly convenient location where I was picking up said Box o' Meat. Well, I won't when I get the official notification that I've been switched over, anyway. Better enjoy it while it lasts, I guess

Theo, sounds like the directions were unclear, and you're a good and responsible friend to take the cat to the vet.

Punishingly Intricate
Your friend should have left better instructions, Theo. You are not stupid!

Emergency vet sounds like the prudent course. I hope it turns out to be no big deal.
Not a stupid mistake, Theo. Just a mistake. How syringes are marked is not basic knowledge that everyone just picks up by osmosis, and those instructions do not sound clear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, it sounds like that was very unclear and you are not stupid! You're a good friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

No, they left you with very unclear instructions. Which is not okay. I cat sit a friend's three cats and one is diabetic and I get the dosing written out for morning and night every time.
You are a good person.

-t, can you pick up the Box o Meat anyway just because it's a nice thing to do and see your parents and have a drink?
