  1. ...spending $600 on your cat's respiratory illness, getting him home, and watching helplessly as he goes on a hunger strike. We don't call him the Supermodel anymore because we're afraid he has become anorexic. (The Jesus Cat is doing his part by eating the leftover food and praying for the other cat's death.:angry:)
  2. ...not getting to go on spring break, but making the best of it by trying to get some rest at home, only to have your dad decide that now is the perfect time to mow the grass. I should be grateful that I don't have to mow my own grass, but I'm too tired and grumpy to be grateful.


When Mr. Blue Kitty stopped eating from his sinus infection it was because he couldn't smell his food. I'm sure the vet as told you this, but they also gave me a high calorie paste that I had to just stick in his mouth to make him get any calories. Didn't know if they gave you something like this:dunno:

Hmmm...no...at first they said it was the antibiotic, but he won't eat enough for us to give him the antibiotic anymore. He sniffs his food now, and eats a few bites. We're trying some new foods. i'll find out about the high-calorie paste. Thanks for the tip! He seems to want to live--still very sweet and responsive to us--but he's getting too weak to jump up anymore.

Tuna juice always seems to work with my kitties. Unfortunately if they don't respond to that it usually means its back to the vets office for more expensive treatments. :bang:

Mr. Blue kitty was a Persian and the vet told me with the congestion in his little smushed nose he couldn't smell, so he wouldn't eat. SGB, tuna wouldn't even do the trick. They had to admit him and give him a little Kitty I.V. before he got better.

MISERY IS THOSE @#$^%! TAGS THEY PUT IN THE NECKS OF CLOTHING!!!!

I hate those things!!! I have a permanent itchy spot on the back of my neck! And there is no way to easily get rid of them--if you cut them out, they're even itchier. If you completely remove them, it tears up the hem of the neck.

God bless the t-shirt makers who are no longer using them (even though the silk-screen type labels make me itch, too--just not as much.)

I agree I love the shirts with the labels on the side seam. :clap:
