Stress.

So, I spent the last week in Atlanta. The conference was alright, but nothing phenomenal. Now, when I say I was in Atlanta, I really mean that I was trapped in Buckhead. Lenox Mall, enough said.

Our Lily and our Lawry both had penis problems recently... luckily no catheter involved.

We began giving them wet food mixed with water as a treat, which they love, and it helps them get enough water that they seem to not have as much of the problem.

Hope Merv gets better soon!

Luckily it wasn't bad with our cats.

Holistic vet, huh?
Let me know how that goes.

[psymonetta]

Yes, as soon as I realized it was a urinary problem we took him to the emergency clinic.

I've always used holistic vets for my cats. They're awesome.

"'trauma' to his penis."

oh, christ on a crutch; i would have fainted. you possess a certain degree of intestinal fortitude. best wishes to the cat (aka secret lover).

[psymonetta]

There's no secret...but the penis is never involved. (ew.)

poor merv!.

[psymonetta]

It makes me want to never leave town again.

oh dear. I hope your cat is feeling better soon. It's so hard to see the little guys in pain or discomfort.

[psymonetta]

He's being a terror right now, so I'm guessing that he's feeling much better despite having a tube up his most sensitive area.

you know, I have seven cats... and their pee is all normal.....and they have LOTS of it.
shall I send you one of the lovely lil' bairns?

[psymonetta]

Do any of them have this much personality? mervelous

My cat is priceless, and he does not tolerate intruding felines.
