Worried about Stella

I’m heading back to Tennessee this weekend to work on the house. I’m bringing Ambush with me and leaving Stella at the apartment. She eats better when I’m around, but I’m worried that the stress of a 11+ hours in a car over three days would be too much stress on her. So she will be a the house by herself until Sunday. My sister is going to check on her, so theoretically Stella and Kiesha will be fine.

Maybe I shouldn’t worry. Stella eats better when I’m around but she will be much more comfortable here.

Ambush does okay on travel. He gets very stressed out unless I have a bed (or cot) setup that he can curl up on or hide underneath. The house is also going to be shown, so he will be hiding in the closet again. Poor kitten. I have to bring him because of his twice-daily insulin injections.

I worry about coming home on Sunday afternoon and finding Stella in a much-worsened condition. I’ve been able to get her to eat much more than she was. This will be the first time I’ll be away for more than a day in quite a long time.

I’m really excited about seeing Isis but worried about Stella. Can’t win for losing…

He’s lost more weight (12 pounds instead of 13.8), so that needs to be monitored. We checked his urine to make sure he wasn’t in kitosis (nope,…

  • Stellster and the bed

    Stella has developed a bad habit: if any piles of clothes are left on the bed or within her reach (like the laundry basket), she will pee on them. If the litter box is not clean or does not have enough litter in it, she will pee on my bed. (Mattress covers are worth their…

  • Noises in the wall

    I’m getting ready for bed and I can hear something crawling in the ceiling. Not loud, but scurrying. Knocking against the light fixture in the bathroom last night. Tonight it’s in my kitchen wall. Scratch, scurry, scratch: some small rodent or critter maybe stuck or exploring. My cats are enthralled: they follow the sound from…

  • Ambush at Home

    Poor kitty spent the weekend at the vet’s. He perked up a little when I came to pick him up. He had been huddling in the back of his “apartment” at the vet’s. He had a towel to sleep on and plenty of space. He was shaking. The vet helped me give him the evening…
