Thought I'd also write a bit about my latest problem child. His name is Frisco and I've had him about a year and a half now. He came from the CARE Shelter in Springfield but I adopted him from one of our clients at work. I love orange cats! Frisco is missing his left front leg. We don't know what happened to it, but he doesn't seem bothered a bit by its absence. He manages to wash both sides of his face equally well with just one front foot. He also manages to jump up on the kitchen counter, then to the top of the fridge, then to the top of the cabinets with no problem at all. I might add that he is one of only three cats who have ever gotten up there. They all know they are not supposed to be on the kitchen counter, let alone any higher up. I noticed a few weeks ago that Frisco had begun to lose weight. He was never extremely overweight, but none of my cats are on the thin side. After checking bloodwork, we discovered that I now have my second diabetic cat. What rotten luck! He's now on a special diet, which is fun with all the other cats in the house. Frisco does not enjoy eating alone locked in the bathroom, insisting on my company to get him to eat his full meal so that he can receive his insulin injection. things seem to be going rather well. He's just a bit more time consuming than my other diabetic cat, but he's such a sweetheart. He's definitely worth the extra effort!
Little Miss Chesney is convinced that her mother doen't love her anymore. She started having some questionable stools Monday afternoon at her Grandma's house. These progressed to accidents in the house, which she almost NEVER does, to including blood yesterday morning. She visited her favorite doctor yesterday, who prescribed medication to make her better. (I might add that she doesn't act a bit sick!) Then, she vomited before we left work, so her favorite doctor ordered no food until this morning. Therefore, Chesney is convinced that either I am losing my sanity by forgetting to feed her, or that I have just become a mean old mom who doesn't really love her. She did get a small meal of I/D this morning with her meds and I've never seen her eat something so fast. No more accidents though!! I took this picture of her this morning. Doesn't she look mistreated?
