Ooops - it's not quite over

This morning Audrey got us up at 5:30 but no one seemed to be interested in breakfast. I went to the potty and came out to an odiferous mess. It seemed like Arnold had a leaky butt and wandered all the house... my room, a drop in the poohlet room, down the stairs, a significant present on the puce banana then down the stairs, into the fliving room and under the table.

Whew! Before I even had a chance to eat breakfast! (wait a minute, maybe that was a good thing...)

So all the kitties went to visit the vet. [Arnold weighs 11.4 lbs]. Doctor isn't quite sure what it could be. It could just be a virus - in which case it'll go away by itself - or it could be a bacterial thing. So he gave me some pills.

Guess how well Arnold ate his pill when I buried it in his food?

Right.

So I wrapped him in a towel and did my best to throw it in his mouth and make him swallow. I think I did it! He was quite put out, but I think he actually swallowed it.

Then we all snuggled up to watch TV. Arnold s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out on the three-people couch, along the back. Just like when he was a little bitty kitty! He was so cute! Then he woke up to groom himself furiously then rolled himself back up into a little ball.

No more odorous gifts since this morning... keep your fingers crossed.
