'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Slinky lives to purr another day! She has a serious UTI, so she got an antibiotic shot for that. Unfortunately, she has fairly severe kidney disease. Two of her test values were so high they were above the top limit of high. Not good.

She's very dehydrated, so we have to give her subcutaneous fluid once a day for 2 weeks. We also have a liquid medication to lower her phosphorus level. And she has special expensive prescription food for kidney disease.

She is our special expensive anniversary present.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hang in there, Slinky! I hope the fluids and meds and special food help her muchly.

I'm trying to get used to a phone which is able to talk to that internet thing, so we'll see how that works

Well, if it leads to more Nilly for us, that's very exciting!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Rock on, Slinky! Kitty kidney ~ma for you!

Nilly, it's always a delight to see your font! I cannot imagine you causing anyone offense, honestly.

Dang, that really is an eternal cat.

Yeah, after reading that the current record-holder is only 26, I realized that there's a small but significant chance she might have been the oldest living cat at the time she died.

We've only had to put down one cat, but we had one disappear on us (I hope she was merely snatched rather than run over) and gave another to a farm along with the less independent of her two kittens. I'm hopeful mine will have a good decade or more before health problems start cropping up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay for good Slinky news!

Nilly, as usual, has said it much more eloquently than I could. If I have hurt or caused offense to anyone here, I ask your forgiveness.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Nilly, so wonderful to see you and your post.

I'm glad Slinky will be with you for a while longer, Steph. And it's good to see your pixels, Nilly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wow, nothing brightens up a blah day more than seeing Scott Walker lose.
