Connie, your move is so exciting! I can't wait for you to be settled into your new place, chilling with a book and some wine on the porch.
Lucky update: She's home, and doing amazingly well.
Yay, kitty! That's great news, Maria.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Aw, thanks, msbelle. Natter usually moves too fast for me to keep up, even now. But this weekend/morning in particular, I needed to be here.
Nice to see you too, Ms. The-Nicest.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Karl! It is very nice to see your pixels around.
I mentioned that Lucky is on BP meds. Did I also mention that those meds are pills? I was cringing, even though the vet tech said she was the easiest cat ever to pill. Guess what? So far she is. I grab her scruff, tilt back, her mouth opens enough for me to pry it open a bit wider to drop the pill in, and then I hold it shut and rub her throat. No muss, no fuss. I'm sorry I've bogarted the easy pilling from all of the other cats in the world. I fully realize how rare this is.

That's good news, Maria!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My Homer was also amazing at taking pills, although I also wrapped them in a bit of Pill Pocket anyway, because I thought they must taste bad. Hazel isn't super violent about not taking pills, but she is Very Good at not letting it in to her mouth. Or eating a Pill Pocket. Or regularly eating a flavored chewable pill! The transdermal is working well, though, and she'll actually take the chewable once in a while, so I don't just have to throw them away.
Oh lord, the whole point was supposed to be: I am glad Lucky is doing well!!

Hi Karl! Good to see you again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hi Karl. Good to see you.
Yay for Lucky doing well, and being pill-able. Some cat had to be, to balance out the trickster that was Jenny, pretending to swallow and then spitting out the pill in some hidden place, to be found hours?? days?? later. And the incredible fight-to-the-last-breath TC who would seriously savage those who tried to pill him. I'm very happy you got the balance cat.

Glad to hear Lucky is doing better, Maria. And that pilling her is relatively easy. The only time I had problems with either of my cats was when one was on chemotherapy. The pills were huge and he just couldn't swallow them. Fortunately, pillers exist and that seemed to do the trick most times; it could get the pill farther back in the throat than I could.
