I don't blame Artie at all for spurning the W/D. I was given this years ago for one of my beloved cats whom the vet thought needed it; it looked and smelled so awful and my little guy said, "NO WAY!" so I ended up taking it back to the vet. Of course it's not the greatest for him to be having these digestive issues, but at least he's having SOMETHING which I guess we all agree is to be appreciated!Well, the peaceful bliss ended this morning with a BANG!! and shouting, and hammering!!
Artie did ok.. he ran to the door, which is pretty much blocked of all light coming in.
Artie is kind of ok.. He pooped last night, just before I physically went into bed; 6 x 1/2 inches.. soft, very soft at the end.
He woke me up this morning.. no poops, but he was hungry!! He ate well: 1/3 cup and 1/4 can..
I opened a Purina catfish and tuna can of food, mashed it down, added his probiotic.. he loved it.. ate about 1/2 small can. He is good for almost the rest of the daylight.
What bothered me, was that, I went over to brush him, He was at the door. I picked him up, had the pill gun loaded with his steroid, and a syringe of water; was going to put him on his cat tree..actually on the cardboard liner at the top..
I had to stop abruptly because there was a 2 x 2 inch cow patty on the cardboard.. No way to clean that, so I have to dump that out, and get a replacement.
About 10 minutes later, he was in his litter box.. tons of gas, and another cow patty of
3 x 3 inches.. sigh..
No Miralax for him.. I guess at least he is pooping.. but this is now his IBD which is coming out.. from all the junk food. I tried to give him some W/D the other day, but he turned his nose up at that and Fancy Feast Beef....
Right now he is sunning himself in the great room...
Caught him playing with, and trying to chomp on one of his 'lost' whiskers!!
What a crazy cat!!!
We have the carpenters starting at 7 every morning. As soon as they get here, though, the dog next door starts barking and seemingly doesn't stop all day long. And today is gardening day -- they usually arrive around 7:15. So I can relate to your noisy! We have a triple noisy!
I save every "lost" whisker I find. I have hundreds from years back.
