Cat coming home, move, exhausted

I talked to the vet yesterday about Spook.  Ali talked to her on Saturday.  The vet said that the urinary thing the cat has was better treated by a liquid antibiotic instead of the pill they have been forcing down her throat.  The good news is a liquid is easier to give a cat than a pill, the bad thing is the liquid is given twice a day instead of one.  I asked the vet if giving the cat the pill or liquid has gotten any easier since she has been there.  She indicated it still has been a struggle.  I told her that maybe we could pick Spook up and see how it goes.  My motivation had nothing to do with missing the cat, it is purely financial.  She has been there 8 or 9 days.  Since it seems like Spook’s ailment is not terminal we will be getting her back.  I don’t want to pay more of a small ransom than I am sure we already are.  However I have to weigh the dollars with the trauma of trying to give the cat meds.  At the vet there is nowhere for her to hide.  At our place Spook loves to hide under beds and refuses to come out unless I do anything short of poke her with a burning hot cattle prod.  I dunno.  I think I will call the vet, see what the current bill is and if it isn’t insane maybe leave her there until Friday so we will be home over the weekend to monitor any rogue urination attempts. 

I did some prep for her arrival last night.  I rearranged the utility room so that I could have BOTH the manual litter box AND the automatic box set up so the cats have a choice.  Yes it adds up to even more cat maintenance for me but if it results in the cat keeping the excrement where it belongs I am fine with it.  Speaking of excrement, 3 out of the last 4 mornings I have been greeted by piles of throw up as I went into the utility room.  It’s so nice of Buttons to keep me on my toes.  Having Spook out of the house also made it clear that she didn’t have diabetes.  The vast majority of the excrement has remained, meaning it is all from f’ing Buttons.  Evidently her diabetes is ratcheting back up again.  I have started increasing her insulin dosage.  I don’t like doing it though.  Increasing the dosage means if she vomits a lot and then doesn’t eat afterward she could fall back into insulin shock which is pure hell for us.

My web content has been moved to a different server in my hosts web farm so you may notice a few quirks here and there as DNS issues work themselves out.  The server I was on kept running out of disk space. Hopefully things run smoother now. 

I read that Kansas won the NCAA basketball championship last night in an overtime thriller.  I didn’t see the game.  In fact I didn’t even think for one second that the game was on last night.  I didn’t watch any of the tourney.  I just don’t care.  I suppose if I was in a betting pool that would generate some interest.  I don’t like watching young men play sports, I am too jealous.

I have been so tired at night.  I think all of the hard work has caught up to me.  I haven’t gotten a solid 8 hours in at least a week it seems.  It’s wearing on me.  When I got home last night I felt like I could go right to bed.  I didn’t even log into WoW all day long, too tired.
