I did NOT succeed in getting Matilda up before noon.
However, I DID succeed in getting her to go out to brunch with me when I did get her up.
She's off to therapy in a few and EM is coming by to organize.
We'll all go to dinner tonight with Emmett to Bar Crudo: [link]
Fancy seafood! Happy Hour Oysters!
Ooh, that is a nice looking happy hour! $2 oysters is pretty good! I still want to be able to get them for a quarter but I know that's not a thing that will happen.
Hi, friends. We are back from an amazing vacation to Ireland nested inside the trip we took to Connecticut for Dad's memorial. We've been gone 2.5 weeks, the longest we've ever been away from home at the same time. I need to go back and read since I tried to stay mostly offline and just skipped a bunch, but I hope everyone is okay.
Welcome back, Pix!
I went to Orange County for a couple of days for my birthday (Friday afternoon - Sunday evening) and since I've been back my cat's not acting right. At first I thought she was just punishing me (hiding, pooping next to the litter box) for going away a couple of days, but now I'm concerned about her. She hasn't eaten in a couple of days I think and when she moves from one spot to another (still mostly avoiding me), she's moving slow and staggering a bit. I think I should try to get her to a vet, except she's still hard to catch and I don't want to drive her into a panic when she's obviously feeling poorly (half-grown, semi-feral when we took her in - still not a fan of people AT ALL and hasn't been to the vet since she was spayed [that whole not being able to catch her thing]). Right now I'm just leaving her alone and making sure she's got water near by if she wants it. Monday and yesterday I was still hoping she might bounce back, now I don't know what to do ... if anything.
Epic, I hate to say this, but I do think you should take her to the vet. Cats not eating for more than a couple of days can lead to serious problems, including pancreatitis. If they can give her fluids tonight, that will help her recover.
Yeah, unfortunately, those are all red go to the vet flags.
Oh no, Epic! That does sound concerning. I hope you can get her to the vet without too much problem.
I'll get the carrier from the garage and see if I can get her into it. This is really a shitty start to my 53rd year. (See message in Beep Me)
Timelies all!
The heat wave continues here.The drive home wasn't too bad, considering that the a/c is not working well and the temps were in the 90s. Probably helps that my car is parked in a garage all day, away from the sun.
