What a roller coaster – this morning the vet phoned and said she was “feistier” and taking her food through a tube. We arranged to go and see her at 6.30, and were confronted with a small cat on the edge of death. She wasn’t accepting her food through a tube, wasn’t drinking, had an […]
Well, she survived the night. The vet nurse said she really didn’t expect her to, and that she was probably two hours away from death. She’s not out of the wood yet, as they keep stressing, but her fluid levels are much better, she’s having antibiotics through her IV, her temperature is up to normal […]
Our lovely Bada is back in the hospital, admitted as an emergency yesterday afternoon. I can’t sleep, which is why I’m writing it up now. For the past few days, Pete kept saying “she’s getting better” and I knew it was wishful thinking. She’d still been going out, and I didn’t want to stop her. […]
Her mouth is heaps better – the steroids did the job they were supposed to. However, she has an appalling cold/flu thing, which is what’s making her so poorly. Lilith has been sneezing, and with Liessa’s lowered immune system, it went for her like a train. The vet has given us palatable antibiotics, but as […]
I phoned the emergency vet who saw Bada last week, and they seemed rather concerned that she is not improving. In fact, as today has gone on, I would say she has got worse … So we shall take her to see Judith’s replacement at 4.45 – I don’t want to drag her over to […]
Which, currently, is not good 🙁 As some of you may recall, Bada is on long term medication for severe gingivitis. We changed vets recently (as our beloved Judith had retired) and have started using the one in the village. She advised us that a long term steroid injection might be better for Bada than […]

Liessa *loves* the heat. She basks in the sunlight – outside in the warmer weather, or on the living room carpet when it’s cooler. And suddenly, after almost five years, she has discovered that the kitchen has many sources of heat. Her latest thing is snuggling up to the teapot in its cosy, but she […]
Bada is very clingy since we’ve been away, and this morning she has decided that Iggy should keep her company. This is fine and dandy, but I wish they would do it SOMEWHERE ELSE. And don’t tell me to move them – do you think I haven’t tried?!
I have neglected to inform you all of Liessa’s current condition. She hadn’t been to see the vet since September – so long, in fact, that our lovely Judith has left the practice. Very sad. However, we were running out of pills, so I trundled her along last week. The new chap took a good […]
