Another quick update: Kitty is eating! I went on a shopping splurge and bought every type of food I could find (at 11pm, that is) and put out a buffet of foods. I found the key was mixing his favorite dry food with chicken broth and heating and soaking it until it made a nice spongy mush -- he ate a bunch of that last...

i am glad that your cat is feeling okay, especially after you told us about the vet fiasco!! it was nice to meet you today
Just a quick update: the kitty is alive and home!! He is not eating very much and is by no means out of the woods, but he made it through -- turns out the fluid in his abdominal cavity was likely caused by the other vet giving him too much fluids and it seeped out of his veins!?? Assholes. Anyhow, I'll update again soon.

I'm glad to hear your kitty made it. Leo and Leroy both wish him well.

Thats good news. Get better kitty 
My cat is dying. He has been through months of suspiciously unrelated problems, with abscessed cuts and urinary tract infections, only to find him breathing weird today. He is still on medication for the urinary infection, but this was not good so I took him to a different vet. X-rays show cloudiness in his lungs and fluid in his abdominal cavity. Basically, they think it...

i was a designer for the copyright murakami catalogue, so i stared at that lonesome cowboy every day for a couple of months. nice to see that he has some company.

I am so sorry to hear about these tough life decisions you are having to make or had to make, whichever the case. I started reading your blog and thought I was looking back into last august and what happened to my own little cat named Tungsten.
Although he was just shy of seventeen, and i realize that is a full liife for a feline, he was strong always. Then suspiciously about a month before the news broke last year about the Iams (etc) cat food from China(?) having poisons in it and causing......uh hummm...kidney problems. My cat developed everything you described and my friend who had him did everthing she could to help him. He was on special food and meds for six months before he developed the thousand yard stare.

Thanks for sharing your heartache of your cat and i hope the best for you and your kitty. This is how I think of mine..... 
Things that are NOT fun:
Doing taxes.
Getting sick over weekend while doing taxes.
Owning a shit-ton in taxes and being sick.
Somebody friggin shoot me.
Oh, and the old grumpy cat is now a cyborg, with tubes coming out of his head and a big plastic cone around his neck. He likes to walk around knocking the cone into stuff. Considering how his week...

I saw Murakami stuff in the Broklyn Museum in New York, It was great, I was really impressed
Close your eyes and imagine youre on stage, pounding away at the drums, sweat dripping down your face while dressed in costume as some sort of Colonel Sanders from Hell. You peer into the audience and spy none other than Dave Grohl and Eddie Van Halen munching from the same bag of popcorn, watching...
My dad and sister both live in Camarillo, CA. For those not familiar with the area, it's an (formerly, at least) agricultural region about an hour north of LA. AKA, suburban hell. Anyhow, long story somewhat shorter, while at my pop's place on xmas eve, just after the sun had set and night set in, I saw the jolly fat man's sleigh flying through the...

Well, I guess it meant something to those kids... But it must be nice to have the bread to pull a stunt like that off.

thank you for commenting on my sets 
I suck at blogging. Who has time? Anyhow:
We've decided to keep Pip (we've named the little black kitty Peregrin -- yes, I'm that much of a geek). He managed to damage himself about two days after my last post, got in a fight and cut his leg open which became abscessed and had to be lanced and stitched. So, after "investing" in him, gotta...

Ok, so the little black kitten that adopted us went to the vet today. He is 7 months old and came back with a clean bill of health. We are gonna chop off his nuts and get him his shots, but we will still probably need to find a home for him -- the grumpy old man cat doesn't appear to be giving up the...

So I wonder how many times we have walked past eachother at Maledictions...hehe.
frost:
ahhh...cute kitty! i wish i was closer, i would take him off your hand for you.
In case anyone is still interested, I was subpoenaed to be a witness at the preliminary hearing for the guy that burglarized our house. So I spent all day Tuesday sitting in court waiting for his trial to come up. For those who've never had the pleasure, this is how it seems to work: you have to show up at 8:30am and can be...

We have been adopted by a little black kitty cat. He is small, not even an adult yet, adorable and unbelievably affectionate. What I cannot figure out is where he came from. He just appeared in our front yard one day, sniffing around and grazing, and ran off when he saw me. I assumed he was the neighbor's. For the next couple days I saw...

After seeing the Greatest American Hero icon, I had to say something.
That was my absolute favorite show when I was a kid. I remember it was the only night I could stay up until 9pm (My normal bedtime being 8pm when I was in 1st/2nd grade).
Wow. I fear what the show looks like 25 years on.
