Well, Chelsea would not take any medicine today, either. I tried mixing the antibiotic with tuna and coating the lysine treats with cream cheese (IDK, the vet suggested it) and she wouldn't even go near them, so I am out of ideas. She hasn't eaten anything at all since Thursday, though, so maybe mixing the meds with food isn't going to help. In any ( Read more... )

My darling little furball started sneezing on Monday, and when it hadn't gone away by Thursday, I took her to the vet. Turns out she most likely has feline herpes, and now we are going through the usual song and dance routine to get her to take her meds. I have learned from past mistakes and opted NOT for drugs in pill form when the vet gave me the ( Read more... )

I've been watching Less Than Perfect on Hulu (I've now watched all of season 1 - which is all that's there - and must search for the rest via other sources), and so I've seen that Friskies commercial at least fifteen times now. You know which one I'm talking about? The trippy "Across the Universe for cats" one? I actually played it for Chelsea, but ( Read more... )

I give up. My cat is officially smarter than me ( Read more... )

Took a little trip to PetSmart today, and although I was massively sidetracked by the kittens (OMG they're so cute I want ALL OF THEM), I managed to get out of the store with no additional pets. They didn't have the pill shooter thing, so I got Pill Pockets ( Read more... )

This is the first time I've ever had a sick kitty before, and we are having some difficulty with taking our meds ( Read more... )

In the mail yesterday, I got a card in the shape of a cat. A cat that looks exactly like Chelsea. (Well, okay, this cat kind of has a Hitler mustache thing going on, but other than that, exactly.) My glee when I opened the envelope was such that I didn't even bother to read the inside of the card until the next day. (It was from my mother, btw.)

I ( Read more... )

Chelsea had been lurking around the refrigerator a lot yesterday, so last night I broke down and got out the flashlight to see what she'd lost under there this time. Imagine my surprise when I found a WHOLE STASH of kitty toys under the fridge. Like, more toys than I knew she had. Granted, I'd noticed that they were disappearing pretty quickly, and ( Read more... )

Despite all evidence to the contrary, I have not eaten myself to death. I did, however, come home with lots of leftovers and was welcomed by a very cuddly (and well-behaved!) kitty. I never cease to be amazed at the difference when I visit my parents' house, with Patches the invisible cat (invisible because at least 90% of the people who come to ( Read more... )

If you are reading this, post a picture of a cat in your journal. (Your cat, a lolcat, or someone else's cat. But preferably yours, if possible.)

Well, any excuse to post pictures of my baby. :) I give you Chelsea, staring intently at... something:
