Went and saw someone about the poison oak since the rash that had started out as a 3 inch line of blisters had morphed over the course of five days into a 5 x 3 inch area of weeping, crusty blisters with an additional 5-6 inches of red, itchy rash. I now have some ointment and pills to help clear it up ( Read more... )

First off, Kira is doing fine though we've got orders to bring her back if she gets worse or doesn't improve by Monday.

So last night, I spent three hours at the Emergency Vet because Kira suddenly started stumbling around, acting disoriented, and going in circles. Scared the ever loving crap out of us. I got her to lay down while miome found an ( Read more... )

A few minutes after I get home, Nadia decides to throw up. And what do miome and I see in her puke? A worm. So off to the vet tomorrow she goes. Poor Kira will be getting whatever treatment Nadia gets because, unfortunately, she is bad about eating Nadia's puke if we don't find it first.

Dear cat,

That bit of sandwich I had sitting on a plate next to my seat? That was not for kitty! That was the rest of my breakfast. Now that you've put your mouth on it, I'm not going to eat it. And no, you're not getting it either. I'm not going to reward that kind of behavior.

No love,
Tsaiko

Tsaiko: *types on laptop*
Nadia: *starts grooming the laptop*
Tsaiko: What are you doing?!?
Nadia: *gives laptop a final lick and then plops herself down next to me*
Tsaiko: Cats.

I'm at home today sitting on my couch with the heating pad. My goal is to be in good enough shape tomorrow so I can drive and attend the meeting for my part-time job. So far I have more flexibility in my neck and less pain. I've also done a load of laundry because I was bored and it needed to be done. Nadia is thrilled that I'm at home and on the ( Read more... )

miome and I were sitting on the couch waiting for our pizza to arrive. Behind us, we hear Nadia playing with one of the paper bags. We keeps some lying around as a quick and easy place to store our recycling until we can take it out to the recycling center. The bag is russling as she's playing in it. All of a sudden, Nadia comes tearing across the room ( Read more... )
