Show us a better way to spend $300 than on the iPhone 3G.
Well, you could probably stick another zero on the end, but I'd much rather pay vet bills for Teh Big Handsum Tukseedo Cat than a phone that'll be obsolete before your contract's up. Tuxedo cats never go out of style.

The poor baby is back at the vet for at least one more night. He wasn't eating anything but was still barfing everywhere.
Him kidney enzymes are way out of whack.
Nice Indian lady vet sez he's too young to have all this, suspects him may have eaten something toxic. We don't use strong chemicals and we always pick up loose pills, but the way he gets into stuff and eats it, who knows?
(Either that, or Her Royal Tortieness has gone all Borgia.)
Sigh. What's another $500? Who needs vacations and money when there's tuxitude?
He survived the vet appointment, grrrrrr. (The vet is the only time/place TK growls)
B/c he's still not peeing freely, he gets an extended batch of antibiotics. Sigh. Ptui. He's really okay with the pills, but then we have to go for the liquid and you'd think we were killing him.
This was set off by an infection that caused him to start precipitating struvite crystals. It got his pee out of whack, pH-wise, it got much too alkaline. As FDaddy said, "He needs more vinegar in his piss!" Heh. Having had any number of infections there, I sympathize entirely.
The kittehs continue with eating the prescription foods. TK is sleeping a skosh more than usual (I know, how can you tell with a cat?) but when he's awake, he's making life miserable for Tortie, GRRR HISS GROWL. Poor girl, but it's a sign of recovery that he's being bratty again.
Still can't quite trust him alone so he's spending nights in solitary. ROOOWWWL.
Him has another appointment in 2 weeks. Am hoping he returns to being the pee-monster, soaking the litter.
What's your favorite type of donut?

Her Royal Tortieness says: whatever Mommy's eating!
However, she really likes Krispy Kreme's seasonal Pumpkin Spice. I think b/c she's kinda like a spice cake herself.
And we even have video of her going NOM NOM NOM:
He's doing better. He still has to spend a lot of time (and all night) shut up in his room b/c he's still peeing in inappropriate places. His box is now full of shredded newspaper instead of kitty litter b/c he was producing more on the papers we have lying around the house than in the boxes. The litter probably doesn't feel good. He also has the water fountain in there, and is eating the prescription crunchies.
Him still licking furiously at his wee-wee after he goes wee-wee, but since he had a tube stuffed up it for several days, no surprise. In the past hour, he finally hauled himself up to paw-dangle on the back of the couch like usual, and then when I opened the window, he made his way over to teh windo shlef to look out and chatter at the flock of chirping finches. Good boy! He's asleep on it right now.
Tortie is very talky, fussy, annoyed that he's home and smells funny. She's going easy on him, though. She loves having him closed up in the library, although his ROOWLs bother her.
Thanx for all the good thoughts. He has to go back to the vet on Monday so keep it up. Xtra speshul thanks to Lauri.
After following him around the house for at least half an hour, in a circuit between all 3 cat boxes, several corners of rooms, and behind a TV and computer, the tux brat pee-monster is confined to his original quarters in the library, since I can't follow him around all night to head off inappropriate pee locations. I'm happy that he's producing some, but don't want it in the living room!
Poor baby.
Tortie did her usual grrr hiss at him and was surprised that he's not attacking. Now she's just confused further.
He's asleep now after a furious round of bathing. He's got a small spot on one leg from the IV, and they shaved all the hair around his Naughty Bits off.
Tortie was NOT happy to see him, but they're sleeping in different rooms now.
Thanks for the good thoughts. Pls. continue as we have to give the boy pills and liquid medicine, which isn't going to be fun for any of us.
He has to go back in 3-5 days. Let's all hope he continues peeing normally and will eat the prescription food.
Stimulus check: $1200. Vet bill: $1100 so far. August vacation: looking less likely.
Having the tuxedo brat home: priceless!
