It's been a little bit of a dull, dragging day at work and these little kittehs have helped brighten my day! A foster home for kittens! Squeeeeeeeeeeee and eeeeeeeeeee!

Almost 100%

Uuter seems to be on the mend...
She even crawled up and sat with me while I was watching TV this weekend.
Last week, she was too weak to even attempt such a thing!
She is really "Mommy's little cub" as Billy calls her.
Thank goodness she's doing a lot better!!!!!!!!!

hooray (?) for now

More about Uuter…

I was extremely distraught yesterday because I couldn’t get her to eat ANYTHING (which apparently is pretty common for cats when they feel icky). As last resort, I started to put little finger-fulls of food in her mouth so she could have some sort of nutrition. After research, (thank you, interwebs!) I found out that many people have dealt with an anorexic feline and they suggested assisted-feeding with a syringe. I mushed up her prescription food with some warm water, pulled some into a syringe (we had one in the house from a previous cat calamity) and dribbled some into her mouth. After a couple sessions of this, she seemed much, much better. She even gobbled down a cat treat (or 3).

The test results FINALLY came back today and the vet told me she was suffering from a bacterial infection. She’s on Amoxicillin and the doctor will be checking on her progress in 2 days. Billy just called and said she used the box for a #2 which is promising since she has not been um, “producing” the past few days.

I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but I am so happy that my “friend” seems to be on the mend. She’s much more lively and looks to be more comfortable… Fingers crossed!

My furball

My companion, friend and partner in crime of ten years has fallen very ill during the past few days. My orange, fluffy cat, Uuter, became very lethargic a few days after Christmas. She was taken to the vet on Saturday and currently I'm awaiting results on blood, urine and thyroid tests. The wait is excruciating - I have to keep myself from dialing the vet every 15 minutes to see if the results are back. I've made a huge pot of chicken soup to keep myself busy even though I can't even eat myself, I'm so upset by this. I was planning on leaving work early today, but I felt that I couldn't leave her alone in her condition so I took the day off. I hope my employer understands...
She's always been there for me, standing or running to greet me when I come home from work. Wrestling with the new kitten... Protective (to a fault perhaps) and loyal in every way possible... Snuggling on my shoulder when I fall alseep... Accepting Billy into her inner circle of trust...
Uuter is such a strong little thing, I hope she pulls through this. She's made impressions on everyone she's met, they may not be all good, but at least she's a spirited little furball. This strong will and bitchiness is what I'm counting on to help her push through this illness, whatever it may be.
I'm lost right now... I just need the vet to call so we know what we're facing.

Like now, would be nice...
