Hattiegirl Rides Again

I must say, I was pretty anxious taking Hattie to the vet yesterday. The good news is that she is doing pretty good. She HAS lost of a lot of weight, and she did have to be liberated of ungodly big balls of poop. The poor thing...and poor Dr. Mary of course. The issue of course, is figuring out how she got that way, and seeing if we can get some weight back on her. Her various tests and x-rays looked surprisingly good however for a little old lady. We've got some cat laxative stuff for her, and some antibiotics, as her white blood count was high. She let her displeasure be known during the procedure. Good Lord but that cat can make some godawful noises. When the tech brought her back in the room, she said, "We'll just let her relax in her carrier, she was showing her true tortie colors. Heh, I do love that cat. 

$300 some bucks later, we have a much happier cat. She is worth every penny of course, and god knows Dr. Mary and company deserve all that and more, but OUCH. And so the credit card debt grows. BUT....last night Hattie was herself again, drinking water, and even eating some canned food, which we had been trying to tempt her with to no avail. She also spent part of the evening curled up in her cat carrier, and today, has often spotted sitting on it. I don't know if this is her way of claiming dominance over it...but whatever it is....I like it.

My Hattiegirl.

Please ignore dining room table covered with laundry and things for Goodwill...and untucked slipcover of chair. Focus on Hattie, please.
