Hi everyone,
My rather large cat managed to eat one of my sonatas tonight (my fault). I realized what had happened when she started to act as she did when she got spayed, walking around a bit drunk and disoriented. I called the local vet hospital, and then animal poison control. They let me know it's non-lethal/non-urgent, but that I should keep her away from stimuli and places she can jump off of/get injured and keep an eye on her for the next 12 hours-ish.
So, here's my conundrum. I'm not sure where to keep her tonight. She's already getting over the lethargy/drunk walking a bit, but I want to be cautious. I keep her litter box in the bathroom, so that's my first thought, but lately she has been climbing on and off of the bathtub edge, which seems one of the easier places for her to get hurt.
I dragged a large trunk next to my bed which she can use to get up and down in smaller jumps, she seems to have figured that out. I guess I'm mostly just wondering if that sounds better than the bathroom. I think mostly I need to get this out of my system because I was super freaked out until poison control confirmed it won't damage her organs or anything (they were very kind to do so immediately, before they even finished collecting my billing info, as I had rambled into the explanation while in the process of trying to determine how urgent it was).
So, any suggestions on keeping her comfortable but confined? Any advice is welcome and appreciated (and I'll make sure she never gets her paws on one of these again).
Thanks much.
