I'm back from the vet with Lulu now. She has been resting all day, her favourite spot on the single bed (quilted of course) which has Tam's blow-up mattress laid across the top as nowhere else for me to put it. I "lost" her many times (Pippi too) before I discovered this hiding place. Anyway, she did a tiny offering of poo of the right colour and no longer diarrhoea this morning, and has been eating. I had trouble getting her into the cat carrier and after she escaped once, had to upend it and feed her in, with her still trying to double back and escape.
Here she is "tinging" the water bowl with her claws. It makes a musical ring. The vet said she had had a very bad allergic reaction causing Diverticulitis, to something in the PURINA FELIX ORIGINAL MIXED SELECTION IN GRAVY sachets. Do NOT buy these for your cat as there is something in the ingredients which can make certain cats very ill indeed. She said she didn't need any treatment, but I did right to bring her in to get her checked out.
I hated sitting in the vet's with her. Last time Tam and I were there to have L. Whale pts. My nerves were twanging - love makes you so vulnerable. My nervous system/stress levels have never really gotten back to normal after the state I was in during Keith's final weeks.
I shall go back and work a bit more on the quilt after tea. It will now have to have a stripe down the back too! Oh what fun :)
(I had some curry sauce left over from last night's king prawn curry so tonight it will be chicken curry, with mixed grain rice incl. red and wild rice. Yummy.)
I have had one expense. The 2nd is a new microwave (I will wait for Black Friday to get the Panasonic one I fancy - pointless buying the cheaper ones as they only last 3 yrs). What will the 3rd expense be?
