Hope everyone is having a wonderfully cold day~~ I got to enjoy it a little when our floor was evacuated for a fire 'drill'-- sometimes being a floor captain b/c you can keep calm in an emergency is so fun! (really wish there were a sarcasm font or quote marks)
Earlier this week I had taken Cupcake and her nemesis Loki (WoWzers cat) to be declawed... OK I'm not asking for personal opinions on the subject-- we're both moving into homes w/new or like new carpet and these felines don't know how to use the scratchers appropriately apparently- so they were tearing up the carpet in our 'old house'... ANYHOW... Cake was doing well at the vets office (who by the way are amazing!) the day of and after surgery- they stayed an extra day because my schedule filled up and I don't have enough hours in the day or enough of me to go around-- NO COMMENTS ON THE SIZE OF MY ARSE! (I know there could potentially be enough to go around) Well she came home last night and stayed under my bed, didn't touch her food, water or her litter box. Let me tell you there's nothing sweet about what Cupcake can lay down in her litter box- so when I noticed there was nothing in it this AM it worried me... she did manage to get in bed w/me around 10pm, snuggle into my face and proceed to cause me to have an allergy attack~~ I laid her over next to me, to get her off my face and that's exactly where she stayed all night- never moved a muscle. Again, NOT like Cake-- now Loki is acting fine, he raided my room and Cakes food til I locked him out of the room-- This AM I managed to make Cake mad by trying to force her to drink some milk via a syringe... she got back under the bed so I called the Vets office and let them know I was coming in ASAP with her. When I got her there they weighed her- she'd already lost half a pound since Monday- now for an adult human losing 6 ounces isn't usually noticeable but when you only weigh 10lbs to begin with, it's pretty dramatic. So she's staying there in an effort to determine what's wrong with her- I just called a few minutes ago and even after 4-5 hours at the vets office she still isn't eating :( :( They're running some lab work too-- poor girl she was feeling so bad she tinkled in her pretty pink carrier bag- and has to use Loki's boyish black one~~ I told her it was a fashion statement that black was the new pink?? All I know is momma is upset- and worried.
I lost two sweet critters Christmas (Chrissy) and Thunderstorm (Stormy) in 2008-2009 respectively- Chrissy had cancer and Stormy I honestly believe died of a broken heart when her life long friend was gone. So being that we examined Cupcake in the very room both of my 'girls' crossed the rainbow bridge in, was hard and now hearing she won't eat-- it's upsetting... so I'm saying a prayer and relying on the fact that Chrissy and Stormy are watching over her from the Rainbow Bridge~ hopefully she'll eat later, maybe she's just being a picky little puss...
