Stella. Again.

Stella is having trouble again. She has been doing so well for the past two months. She has decided that she prefers Ambush’s high protein food to her own lower protein dry food. She won’t eat her dry food now. I’m feeding her wet food but I have to constantly keep Ambush out of it.

Stella still uses the litter box. All of the boxes are cleaned at least once per day and maintain at least 1.5 inches of litter (usually twice that).

Stella has also started “leaking”: she has left small puddles of pee on my desk. This started about two weeks ago.

Every night she sleeps with me on the bed. I’ve made sure she has her own pillow. She peed on a pile of clothes on the floor the other night. Tonight she peed on the clean stack of sheets on the bed. I don’t know if this qualifies as behavioral or what.

She seems to be going downhill faster. She is having more trouble getting around, but not too bad. She still jumps up on the bed without any trouble. She isn’t as agile climbing up on the stack of boxes to get to my desk. She still wants to be petted and plays with me.

Sigh. I love my kitty but this gets really hard to deal with.

    She’s been recovering well (yay!) and so far seems to be doing better. I’ve been feeding her on my desk. She seems to eat more when I’m nearby than when I’m not.

  • Nastiness on the teeth

    Basette is back from the vet’s and has had her teeth cleaned. Apparently, they were really nasty. Not surprising, considering she has never had her teeth cleaned (bad Mommy!). I actually never knew cats were supposed to have regular dental cleanings until recently. Basette grew up as a vicious mouser in the barn. She lost…

  • Basette update

    The vet called this morning with some good news! Basette’s morning glucose was 405 (much lower then the prior day’s 500+), and her lunch-time glucose was 339. She’s edging back towards a normal glucose level finally. The best news was that Basette was up and walking around the clinic. Not just a step or two…

  • Ambush’s ashes

    I picked up Ambush’s ashes today: a little white box in a purple velvet bag that says “Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.” My poor little buddy. I held it together until the person at the clinic handed me the bag with Ambush’s ashes. I’ve cried almost every time I’ve seen something that…

  • Snow!

    Of course right when I need to get Kiesha to the vet we have the first snow of the year and everything is closed down. Sigh. I’m just glad that my office lets me work from home when necessary. Not a lot of snow here. Just enough to make the roads slippery and hard to…
