Cut so you can avoid it.....
Kobii ate a bit on Wednesday, and a bit more Thursday, but still isn't eating enough to sustain health, let alone life. (For any extended period of time, anyway.)The vet feels that it would be counter-productive to send her home before she is actually eating as much as she SHOULD be. I agree with them.....much as I hate it, it would be one step forward ten steps BACK if I brought her home and she refused to eat so that I had to take her back again. That would REALLY tick her off, and we would be starting at point zero again. So, I was hoping that when I called today they would tell me that she was eating normally and could come home. Unfortunately, today she had not eaten much of anything. They are giving her valium, which apparently stimulates appetite combined with an appetite stimulator. They said she is finally feeling well enough to let them know that she is NOT supposed to BE there. She has gone from hiding in the back of her cage and sleeping most of the time to sitting by the door "talking" to them every time someone walks by. She is courteous, friendly and loving.....but affronted that the WRONG humans are caring for her. (Probably, only someone who has been owned by a Siamese Queen will understand what I am talking about....) I think this is GOOD news.....
SO....I am still here alone, and she is still at the vet. I am to call tomorrow, hoping that she is eating normally so she can come home. :sigh: I don't think it is going to happen. I don't begrudge the money to keep her there, not at ALL. But.... I want her HOME.
I am very lucky in my veterinary office. Doc Max has been my vet for a zillion years, and he was on vacation when I took Kobii in almost two weeks ago. His son, Doc Todd, is wonderful...but Doc Max has known her since she was a baby. See, I used to raise Siamese cats and Doc Max has known all of mine. He came to the office at 3AM once because Kobii's mom was in labor and I thought she was in labor too long without birthing a kitten. He gently nudged the kit out, the kit wasn't breathing and he gave her CPR. She lived. This happened to me once more, but this time I knew what to do because he had showed me...so he actually saved two kittens by helping me the FIRST time. He is a wonderful man. So, I am so glad that he is home and has taken over Kobii's care. He sees so many animals, but he genuinely loves Kobii. It makes me feel better to have her there, now that he is back. Not that Doc Todd isn't perfectly competent, but I am a person who believes in the power of love when it comes to healing. Or anything else, when it comes to that.
Doc Max thinks she just needs some time. She has had such a difficult time with eating ever since she first had pancreatitis. So, we wait. Maybe tomorrow.
Anyone who cares enough to have read this, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. For caring, both for me and for Kobii. I know that probably most people think that I am a loon for caring for my cat like this. I know that maybe I AM a loon. The thing is, I wanted children, and I never had them. So my cats became my children...to me. I know your children are more important in the scheme of things...but to me, my Kobii IS my child.
In other news, someone apparently hacked my computer and stole my password in order to send spam email out. I got these return email things, saying that this email was returned because that person was not accepting email from Scotticher. I was very taken aback...first of all, I hadn't SENT any emails, and second because it was very disconcerting to have someone refuse email from me. So I checked my sent file, and sure enough...there were ten emails in that file that I had NOT sent. So I called AOL, and they felt that someone had accessed my computer and gotten my password. Simple enough to fix, I just changed my password. I also downloaded ZoneAlarm at my boss's recommendation. Days went by, days while I was preoccupied with my kitty troubles. But I DID keep checking my sent mail, just to make sure, and I didn't have any problems.
Then on Monday when I got home from work, I couldn't access my account. I called my boss, who "owns" the account, and asked him to look into it. I went to Bible study and when I got home there was a message from my boss. They had closed down our account because someone had tried to send 1400 messages from MY SCREEN NAME...which is not allowed, of course.
This is not a good thing, since my email account is my work account...and when the jerks tried to send 1400 spam messages out from MY account, AOL closed down the account. Yes, the WHOLE account. Thus making all of my co-workers unable to use their email and...angry.
AOL thought that I must have some kind of Trojan virus that was sending my password to someone. But Norton didn't find it, and at ZoneAlarm's suggestion I tried housecall...and they didn't find it either. So, I figure that during the time when I got home and was downloading ZoneAlarm, whoever it was must have stolen my NEW password and waited a few days before using it to send those 1400 messages.
Just to make sure, I "bit the bullet" and bought ZoneAlarmPro. I never want to go through this again. You know, I never figured I needed a Firewall. After all, why would anyone want to hack into MY computer? I am so boring and innocuous...no porn, nothing of any significance. Nothing anyone would want to steal. Well, it turns out they want my name. Who'd a thought?
So, all in all it has been a less than wonderful week.
That is all from ScottiHouse. I want my baby home. I want everything to be fixed in my email account. I want some PEACE!!!!!! Preferably with my baby on my lap.
