Kitty Cat Update

[sleepymaggie]

I'm going on the attack today on this cat thing. Went out and got frontline plus for him and Millie (my roommate's cat), a flea comb, and a two-sided grooming comb (for keeping his long-haired coat from matting). Also got him Iams cat food that has taurine in it -- to help his little kitty heart murmur.

He seems a lot better today (except for the fleas of course). I think the amox is really helping. He ran around a bit, his nose seems much better, and there's a lot less sneezing and throat noising. Yay! I felt like such a bad parent last night, but I feel a lot better today now that I've taken steps to fix the situation.

It's always miserable when a kitty-baby gets sick like that. I rememebr when I brought my Jade home from the animal shelter, she got sick about a week later. She was only 9 weeks old, and she would sit under the living-room lamp to keep warm, and shiver and sniffle and sneeze up a storm. When I took her to the vet, she had been with us for less than a week---but I felt like a criminal when I heard that it was an upper respiratory infection and she had been suffering while I had her.

She seems to have forgiven me, though----and she still loves to get under any lamp, close her eyes, and bask in the warmth.

You're a good parent, and he's getting better---hooray!
