Well Wishes

Thank you for all the well wishes I have received in the past few days, and for understanding about the lack of blog updates. I am feeling much better now, but my health situation was very delicate, so I wanted to feel better when I updated you on all the details. Elway has been very crude about the situation, so I forbid him from blogging until I could update you myself.

Sunday evening, when I came out of the litter box, my tummy was sore, and Mandy said I bleeding. She cleaned me up, and fussed over me until I was ready to chase her away. She let me sleep overnight, but as you can imagine, a trip to Cat Doctor occurred first thing the next morning.

I hate going to visit Cat Doctor, and it is even worse when I have to go alone. However in the examination room, Mandy snuggled me until I was brave enough to explore the room and eventually hide behind Mandy’s coat in the corner. At one point, I came out of hiding for more snuggles. We sang together, and it was comforting. I have never sung in public before, but it did help calm me down.

The Doctor was not concerned about the little bit if weight the nasty scale lied about. She said it was because I did not feel well. She examined me, and stuck her finger in places where they were not welcome. I sat very still while she examined me, and she said I was a well behaved beautiful boy.

She said I had a ruptured anal gland because I have been straining myself in the box. She gave me some fiber that Mandy is mixing in my breakfast and dinner. Cat Doctor also gave me an antibiotic, which I hate! Mandy shoves pills down my throat twice a day. It is awful. However, I am starting to feel better and I am having a much easier time in the box. Mandy hates to give me the pills, I know she does, but I do not think she can hate giving me the pills half as much as I hate swallowing them. After I take the pills though, I get treats. I love treats.

I have slept several hours more than normal in the last several days. In order to show Mandy and Sam I am grateful that they care about me and are helping me feel better, I have been extra affectionate in the morning. Today I snuggled Sam and Mandy for almost an hour to help wake them up. And I am currently snuggled next to Mandy. I want them to know that I appreciate their care.

Well, I am going to nap some more unless Mandy will let me outside to soak up some sun.
