Chester II has lung issues. He seemed to be better on an injectable anti-biotic, but his x-rays were worse. So now he is on a different anti-biotic, which is in pill form, and needs to be administered twice a day. We failed for a couple of days until we found some You tube videos by a vet. The winning combination is to sit the cat on a table, have one person hold them. Hold the cat by the scruff of the neck, it releases endorphins and discourages the cat from struggling. Use a "pill shooter" and follow up quickly with a syringe with water, it encourages the cat to actually swallow. Blowing on his face or rubbing his throat helps, too.

Maybe you need a sign that says "Cat City" at this point.

Hmm.

I'd how for "Claw Village" at this stage.

Nothing much to report on the cats, all of whom are well.  Boy Liver will be three come August, and only this spring seems to -finally- have settled down out of adolescence.  He's still too bitey and clawy for anyone's good, but not as bad, and more affectionate.

Hurricane Hellene was a big adventure here, but none of that flooding and destroyed roads up in the mountains you'll have seen on the news.  It took quite a while to clean up afterwards, but none of the backyard structures y'all know so well from the Kat Frend project were harmed.  The playhouse roof still needs fixing -bad- but the holly tree bush in front is prospering, and I've sorta kept up on its maintenance this year.  I need to Kat Frend tour w/ camera, too

I just finished a review of this thread, and it strikes me to mention something regulars should already know - this and BU's Foul Mood thread complement each other strongly, both being something of an unintended diary of when I was up to posting -with profound gaps when I was not- this one, having a lot of pics and incidental descriptions/commentary on my native habitat and history that don't make it into my reports on my non-cat life in the other thread.

It's a pity it's not feasible to run the two together and read in order - a great deal would make more sense reading so many years later w/ more gaps filled in, for me and my imperfect memory (and thank God I can forget what some of the uproars were about) as well as y'all...
