About Today -- and the KittyCat

Last night a storm rolled through just after midnight, so I did not sleep very well. I finally fell asleep about 2:30 - 3 am, I guess but I was up at 7 because my kitteh was demanding her food. However, she does not seem to like the beef flavor, which is what I tried today. I only gave her about 1/4 of a can, and she sniffed at it for several hours before eating *some*, and then it was just nibbling. No chowing down as I had hoped. But she will be getting the same for the next three days because it's a 5.5 oz can of Science Diet, and that is *pricey*! (Her new dry food is Hills Rx k/d (kidney) formula, and was over $15 for 4 lbs. Egad!) But as long as it makes her better, I can manage it.

As for the pill-giving: I decided to try it 'plain', as in open the jaw and put it inside. I think -- I hope she swallowed it but she ran and hid right after, so I am hoping for the best. There were lots of firecrackers early this morning too, so she was even more nervous than usual. She spent most of the day hiding, and I never did get the ear drops in because she hid too well during the day and there is just too much noise tonight. Oh well, it can wait for a day or so. But starting Tuesday it will be quite a different matter!

I also did some vacuuming today and light cleaning. Not sure if I will do any laundry tomorrow or not; it will certainly be hot enough and I have some heavy blankets that need washed and aired. So we shall see, I guess.

Ok, time to go to bed and try to sleep.
