melbs, you are amazing the way you are looking after mcat, she sounds like she is recovering well under your expert and loving care š„¹ I was so worried for you both.

Melbcat looked so rough this morning even after medsā¦ but I managed to give her fluids while she was lying in bed with me and we both rested while her tank filled. The Dine melting broths got her to eat a little bit. Sheās somewhat perked up again.

Then I woke up and sheād eaten the homemade broth from last night that I forgot to take away š¤¢ Sheās just had another half pouch of cat soup and has now gone into her hidey hole. Iāve refilled the bowl with the rest and put it nearby in the hope she keeps on eating. She partly tipped the litter box trying to get in so I think itās time I try to saw down the sides of larger containers to make wide shallow boxes. I have a mini hacksaw but will see if I have the energy.
Havenāt seen the black cat much. Iāve been busy and saw him lounging in the common area maybe last week but he didnāt run over. Ever since I started feeding him and gave him a parasite treatment Iāve seen a lot less of him. I can only hope that means others may also be helping and heās okay.

Speaking of whichā¦ thereās a round red flaking lesion on my knee š¤Ø It shouldnāt be what I think it is as I usually wore long pants and often showered after patting him butā¦ Iāve washed it with sulfur soap, applied anti fungal cream and covered it with bandaids. Please do not let me have to deal with decontaminating my house of ringworm on top of everything else. I have a small bottle of F10 disinfectant but I have zero energy to spare and half the place is carpet.
My house has slid back into kaos š«©

I really hope she is š
Iām regretting the choice of surgery and will just have to monitor with bloods to see if the acute kidney damage heals

Itās a good sign that she is eating. The Laos can wait (but oh I understand the frustration. I am trying to do one little unKAOS thing every day for ālentā and I am struggling).

Yeah thatās the most important thing. The cat soup pouches are expensive and not nutritious but itās so good that sheās eating. I got a bunch of them.
I had it fairly under control and then this week hitā¦ between a mess of pills and medical supplies, clothing that fell onto the floor when I grabbed something to head out, and the groceries just brought inā¦ the place looks like itās been hit by a bomb
