With cone of shame (regular-sized), shaved tummy from breastbone to entire butt (attention: udder impersonation!), stitches down said peenk tummy, shaved spots on both arms for IV, and a serious stank. Whoof. However, him alert, talky, and has already eaten crunchies.
Him was so happy to see us at the vet's, and even happy to run into his cat carrier. Even being called handsome by the vet tech did not assuage him. YOWL all the way home. Now we have the joys of getting liquid meds down him twice a day.
HRT has managed to avoid him so far. She got one final burst of total attention earlier.
He's "helped" me with this post a couple of times as well; I guess him's trying to say thanks for thinking of him.
Except for the smell, it's good to have the boy back.
Another night at the vet for poor Tuxboy. I'm sure they have him plenty drugged-up for comfort, though, and are monitoring his output. I'd rather have him there when he's this sick rather than moping around home.
Tortie is taking this opportunity to be totally imperious. Last night she slept in my foot-space but refused to snorgle at all. I took a nap this afternoon and she did, which was less fun than it sounds b/c we put the monthly flea stuff on her and so the back of her neck is a bit stinky. But the purrrrr was great. Just glad I remembered she was due; last time TK was sick, I forgot and so she got fleas and tapeworms. Didn't want to do that again. She needs some hairball stuff too. She hasn't sat on our laps today, just been sleeping at the food of my bed except for fud.
Her should be completely insufferable by the time tuxbrat gets home. Such a tortie.
Him in recovery, crystals have been removed from his bladder, he'll probably get to come home tomorrow afternoon with drugs and the cone of shame.
Thanks for the thoughts.
HRTortie had a great night yesterday, being on FDaddy's lap all evening, sleeping on Mommy's electric blanket, and cuddling with me early this morning. I was under the covers with her, thinking about all the stuff I needed to do and worrying about TK, till I realized that I couldn't do anything about any of those things at that time, so the best cause of action was to go back to sleep petting the warm floofy purring tortie. The Zen of Floof got me another 4 hours' sleep.
The kitties did nothing cute today. Just a lot of sleeping, some asking for food, and one fight.
I slept late and didn't do much either. Not even much web-surfing, just a lot of staring at random TV.
Yesterday the grocery store was having a thing where if you bought X amount of stuff, you'd get free BACON, eggs, and OJ. Unfortunately, I didn't drag my ass out till like 4, and the bacon was gone. Of course, people aren't stupid when there's free bacon on offer. But my shopping added up to enough that I got a $20 coupon for Kohl's. So I'm gonna buy me a new pair of jeans. Amongst my bargains were spotting 4 lbs. of sirloin for $10. :O That's 8 dinners for me and Mr. LT, be it pot roast, soup, or stew, and good meat for cheap.
Have a coupon for a $1 meatball special at IKEA tomorrow. We haven't been since before Mr. LT got cut back to half-pay, so that'll at least amuse us, plus I need a digital cooking thermometer now that I'm having to cook. And even though we'll have to pay full price for the beverages, I want me some lingonberry soda.
I want Mr. LT to get a good job with medical coverage so we can DO something. I'm totally a homebody, but even I can only stand so much time sitting on the couch watching TV with the kitties. Although HRTortie was VERY snuggly over the weekend, taking turns on our laps. Her floof is on the way to redonk levels with winter coming on.
Will try to find something more exciting for future posts. Even when you don't have a job, Monday is still very Monday.
Here's the first video of the kitties investigating the passion fruit and passion fruit rinds. It's shakier and not as well-lit, but the cats are cute.
One of my videos is too big/long. However, this shorter one is the less-wobbly of the two, Although it has much less gnawing goofyness from tuxboy. I'll try to get the other one edited down for tomorrow.
Here's HRT and TK in the kitchen, and a guest starring passion fruit rind.
Finally, some good content for
Last night, our cable modem was out for a while and so Fabulous Daddy went to see if there was anything he could do.
There was a nice open space on the desk, and a floofy little HRT who wanted some attention.
These are camera phone pix so they're not the best, but the tortietude and cuteness still shows.
As if there haven't been enough hooman b-days this week, we end with the birthday of the floofiest, cutest, most long-suffering tortoiseshell girl ever!
A Happy 9th Birthday to Her Royal Tortieness!
(she has already had a breakfast of Fancy Feast)
I always have to feed the kittehs before myself in the morning. So I blame this on low blood sugar.
I put down a clean bowl for HRTortie b/c her old one had dried food and gunk on it, and some long cat hair. Which is to be expected since she's a very floofy girl.
This lead to my brain singing:
She's a very floofy girl
The kind you do bring home to mother
She's a
Super floof! Super floof!
She's super floofy!
whoa oh oh oh...
I am eating my Cocoa Puffins now.
Gotta buy both crunchies and gooshyfood today and some people food, and return library books, so I won't be around till later..
Yesterday I made another loaf of bread. Mr. LT got a new belt to drive the motor for it, and it makes much less noise -- doesn't bother the kitty ears! Plus a turkey teriyaki meatloaf.
Hope everyone is having a tolerable Tuesday.
... never going to happen on this blog!!!
For your perusal, here are two never-before-seen pics of the kittehs.
The internet would collapse without cat pix. NOT ON MY WATCH!
