fuckin cats.

[rmd]

i think one of my cats is sick. of course, i'm not absolutely sure which one, since there's three of them.

but one cat (nikita, the short-haired, more neurotic one and the one most likely to eat strange things) was throwing up earlier today. and she's the one who has cat-turd-detatchment issues most often, and someone had a bit of that upstairs. but then this afternoon, after finding a cat turd upstairs, i found about a teaspoon - maybe 1.5 teaspoons - of thick blood-looking fluid on my bed. very thick and viscous. i'm hoping it's just kitty 'roids or something. i've got an appt for her tomorrow at the vets and in the mean time i'm keeping an eye on her. she's being kind of low-energy and isn't purring. she doesn't seem to be in pain, just low energy and sick-seeming.

sigh.

The viscous bloody thing was what Maggie was doing when she had plugged anal glands. If it turns out to be that, the vet can teach you how to deal with it at home (if you're willing, it's yucky). I hope whatever it is turns out to be minor.

interesting. i know dogs occasionally have that problem, but i've never seen it manifest that way with dogs. i didn't realize cats had that issue, too.
