My own furry child announced to me on Saturday that Timmy had fallen down the well, and then I watched her go in and out of the litterbox every five minutes for an hour. And then we went to the fucking animal hospital. $400 and two attacks on the vet tech later, we learned that she seems to have a UTI. Now I'm being punished by having to feed her antibiotics twice a day for ten days. She is also a licker instead of an eater, so even coating her fucking pills in cream cheese, I still had to jam them into her mouth. Now I'm crushing them and mixing them into her daily wet food instead; that seems to be working. Oh, but the antibiotics are messing with her gut flora, as they do, so now we're also having bouts of low-grade diarrhea in her frequent litterbox trips and she's dragging her ass all over my floor. I've probably washed a large section of my floors now by spraying-and-wiping with paper towels. *facepalm*
The good news is that while I was at the vet signing over my more valuable organs to them while the cat refused to give a urine sample and kept swatting anyone who came at her with a needle, I learned that she's finally down to her target weight!
