I miss Mew-Mew!
I got up relatively early, put the laundry in the machine, cleaned Lady Sybill's room - she's been spreading litter and kibble everywhere. She's bored! Can't blame her! Fed the ferals and went to visit my Mew-Mew!
Poor baby! His whole rump is shaved and bandaged, it looks like he's wearing half a nappy! He looked just miserable. But he brightened up when I opened the cage. As he started moving around, his bandage came off, exposing two deep holes! I brought his favourite food for him, he had three food bowls with him, as soon as I added the Iams Multicat, he started eating. When I emptied a pouch of Royal Canin to the wet food, he started eating that, too!
I spent about an hour with him. Sitting on the stone floor, with my hands in the cage - he didn't want to sit on my lap. He kept changing positions, poor baby isn't able to get comfortable, I suppose he's in a bit of pain, as well. I sang to him, scratched his ears, his chin, just spent time with him ... he eventually settled down, and I left him ... with a very heavy heart!
No visiting hours tomorrow. They'll call me on Monday to let me know when I can bring him home - but the vet is very happy with him, says it's not as bad as it might have been.
When they called me last night, and told me that he could get very sick from it ... the penny dropped: Ziva doesn't have early onset kidney disease! I remember showing them that hole in her back, when I brought her in - but they just dismissed it as 'nothing'. But I'm putting two and two together now! Remember how many months it took for her wound to heal? How it kept re-opening?
Maybe Janey also doesn't have a parasite. I want to take her to this vet as soon as I can afford it! Mew-Mew is going to cost me a packet now ... but yeah, I'd rather go hungry than risk loosing him!
The house is quiet and empty without him ...
Mini is still hissing and growling. When I let her smell my hand, after I got back from Mew, she hissed at it. I gave mippies a bit of the wet food, that I also gave to Lady Sybill ... they licked up the gravy, but left the food ...
Internet is dodgy ... again. I made the brisket, now the pot won't open, and I'm running out of time! I still need to add the butternut, carrot & potatoes, then cook it again for a bit ... and I'm just running out of patience. Oh, there's nothing wrong with the pot - I just left it on 'warm' again, when I should have turned it off. That's why it STILL won't open ... it's quarter past three, power off at four ... and I need another 15 minutes cook time ... plus the time it takes to build up the steam ... this load shedding is seriously not funny.
I had better publish, as soon as the internet plays along ...
Okay, finally got the pot to open, added the veggies ... no room left for potatoes. I also harvested another four green bell peppers and added them ... if the power goes off AFTER it finished cooking, that's not a problem. There's a manual float valve that only releases, when the pressure has dropped to safe levels.
Right now, I don't know what I'll do the rest of the afternoon / evening. Power will come on at six - we hope ... you never know. I just feel miserable ... frustrated, heart sore, exhausted, drained ... and in no mood for anything.
