Stella over the weekend

My youngest sister watched my kitties over the weekend. She was great: regular visits and pettings for the kitties. Stella didn’t eat her wet food at all. She also didn’t touch one of the places where I put out dry food in the kitchen. My sister was pretty worried about Stella.

Tonight I gave Stella some different wet food — and she has been eating it all night off an on. I also found out that she did eat all of the dry food I had put out in a second location by Kiesha’s crate. Stella will often eat there instead of coming into the kitchen. I had filled it up just in case — and she ate all of it. So she did get some food.

She still looked so thin this evening. Poor kitten.

Kiesha also didn’t eat. That was a surprise. Her dry food was untouched and she didn’t eat the wet food either. Very strange because Kiesha normally eats anything you give her. (Missing a meal or two won’t hurt the little butterball.)

I guess they eat better when I’m here.

    Last night, Stella did not look good. When we were going to bed, she tried to stand up to position her self next to me. Her rear end didn’t cooperate and she flopped over. She hadn’t eaten much that night and it was definitely showing. Poor kitten. The vet said that ideally Stella should be…

    Initally, Stella seemed to be a little better this afternoon. I stayed home with her and she seemed to be walking and trotting around the apartment. Just a little wobbly but not much. I was getting ready to go to the barn to feed (horsesitting), and woke Stella up to move her into the bathroom….

    Kiesha had a urinary tract infection. She has been on Clavamox (antibiotic) for a few days and is not doing well on them. She keeps throwing up. Poor kitty. She’s being switched to an injectable antibiotic. Hopefully this time it will help… Ambush and Stella both seem to be doing better. Their UTIs have passed…

  • Cat Tag

    When Basette was a kitten, she used to play tag. She’d sit under my chair and purr when that tail-twitching mood descended. Not a half-hearted purr-so-you’ll-put-me-down, but her full-throated, shake-the-floor-like-Granddad’s-snoring purr. It didn’t matter if I had to finish a paper for the next day’s class. She wanted to play, and she wanted to play…

  • Kitties in the Back

    The Back Yard Kitties(tm) are gradually getting accustomed to me. Last night, I discovered that they are spending time at my back porch on the patio. This is right up against the house. (Luckily they don’t get into the trash or anything.) Today was the first time they ever ventured out when I was nearby….
