Mancat Monday

Here's another digital scrapbook layout my mom made of me. A Mancat

always keep a close watch on his yard and everything that's going on

outside.

Thanks everyone for your purrs, prayers, and suggestions. I did see my

vet last Thursday night, and she gave me a shot and pills to take, and

now we are just waiting for lab results.

I'm not eating any new food. I eat the same, high-quality, grain-free,

organic food I always have, and I'm drinking plenty of water.

I'm still active and playing, and eating fine, although I seem to have

lost an appetite for my stinky goodness - but I'm eating plenty of

crunchies, and drinking more water to compensate for not eating the

wet food.

I had one normal litterbox trip yesterday (a little soft, but that's

normal for me, probably because of my fast Sphynx metabolism), but

then last night I had blood on my bum again and I was very, very

stinky. So I guess all we can do is wait to hear from the vet.

Thanks again for your purrs and prayers. My humans and I appreciate

them.

Update: 15:18 (3:18 PM) Munich time. Well, my mom has noticed me

"scooting" my bum across the bed and on the bath mat, and her online

searches reveal this can be a sign of anal sac "fullness" or

infection, or a sign of parasites. The vet tests should let us know if

it's parasites, so we're just waiting for the results right now. The

vet office re-opens at 16:00 (4:00 PM) (they are open in the mornings,

and again in the evenings) so we are hoping they have the results back

today, but they may not be back until tomorrow. At any rate, my mom is

going to call the vet to tell them about my "scooting." She just needs

to figure out how to describe that in German! The two female vets

speak very good English, but the vet techs' English isn't as good.
