Cat update

[bunn]

Yama Bungle has been unwell, and needed daily antibiotics.  He would not eat the food with the liquid medication on it, so we got him pills.  He would not eat the pills in cheese, or sardines, or liver cake.    We have been forced to adopt the Cat Is Basically A Tube method, where the cat is swaddled in towels and you try to inject medicine into

Poor cat. *hugs you both*

There is the stage where you squirt liquid in the cat's mouth, but fail to get it down the throat and the cat lets it dribble out again. I remember battles with cat and towels and deciding if he was well enough to fight back he didn't need treatment any more (especially when most of it went anywhere but inside the cat).

Walking from food bowl to fire and back, punctuated with many hours of sleep is my ideal winter routine. I'm glad Footie and Bungle have recovered and Henning is his usual self.

Ah yes, the Cat Taco, as my vet calls it. I hope that he gets better, and that Ancient Cat continues in reasonable health for his age.

It was impossible to get anything into Magnus- we ended up taking him to the vet for long lasting antibiotic and steroid injections.

I had to resort to the same for Gizmo too! Whereas my childhood dog would eat pills quite happily if you smeared them in butter and tucked them inside a bit of bread.
