day 4 of living with a cat with early stage renal failure:

8am: give cat 75-100ml injection of lactated ringer's solution. my wife wanted to be a doctor so she handles this part. i hold up the IV bag and she inserts the needle between his shoulder blades and it takes about 2 minutes of gently squeezing on the bag. esteban literally doesn't mind AT ALL. he just sits there and is like "cool you guys are near me and paying attention to me, that's cool i guess."

830am: since esteban now requires 3 seperate mix-in meds, we have to feed him separately from black esteban and stop free-feeding them since otherwise he won't be hungry enough to eat his food. apparently the mix in meds taste terrible and he is not a fan of them so far. the amount of meds is probably like a teaspoon of powder TOTAL, which makes his wet food kind of dry up a good bit. also this is when he gets his refrigerated pill. luckily that is super tiny and he instantly learned that if he eats the pill, he gets a cat treat, so he seems to not mind.

9am: esteban has had enough of this poo poo and tries to start fights with the dog and black esteban.

I'm jealous :(

Is the mix in meds a long term medication?

---

Pudding's routine has been a little mixed up since Cookie claimed Fort Warms.

He'd use to jump into bed at night and snuggle up in the bed. Now that it's occupied, he's staying up way past bedtime meowing despondently, demanding more play. He's also way more demanding for playtime now at all times. Been trying to console him by spending more time with him but it doesnt seem to be working? :(

Maybe I should get an extra ft warms, or the xl warms model?

It's locked, lol. I only read the first couple pages but I might go back for some New Music Ideas™. I get that vaporwave is jokes to a lot of people but I legit like most of it. I even paid money for something that caught my ear in a YT that was "original songs that vaporwave samples" or something.

this is a repeat but this time i have more facts:

cat's name is sappho

she's 19 (!) years old

she suffered a spider bite on her ear which caused a hematoma which is why it looks that way

she is receiving her monthly acupuncture which helps her feel better

she sometimes gets prednisone for inflammation

now i gotta go ask somebody why cat acupuncture isn't a widely practiced thing

because acupuncture is, at best, a short-term pain relief method in humans so why would it be any different for cats

it's not IV, it's sub-q.

aka it just goes under his skin and spreads out all over the body. which apparently works for cats. and it's only 50-100ml.
