The Very Bad day of the Soul

[cornerofmadness]

or more appropriately Soul's VERY bad day. Technically it started last night. He hid his jingle ball and I couldn't put it away. At 1 Am while I was still reading he started beating it off my bedroom door and it was promptly put up. This morning, as if sensing his doom was at hand, he went away and hid. I eventually found him hiding under the blanket draped over the couch to keep their fur off it. Only his head was under. Um...He shrieked when I captured him. hell, he didn't even know he was going in the box.

Once in the box he assumed the position in the back corner and would not come out for anyone. We eventually had to remove the top of the clamshell and get him out (his expression said that was grossly unfair). Doc agrees, it is an allergic reaction, possibly to that crappy clay litter mom gave me (I'm not so sure we've had that awhile since it was a 50 pound bag and it's nearly empty). She gave him an allergy shot. The ear mite infection that wouldn't go away turns out to be a yeast infection so I'm really glad I went. (I almost didn't, his foot is normal sized now). So he has to have yeast meds dropped in every day for several days. his head is a mess of oily meds right now. Once we were done with him he ran into the box and said put the damn shell back on and get me out of here.

Got to finally see the Neil Gaiman Dr. Who. Brilliant stuff. Absolutely loved it.

Called netflix and fessed up. If I ever do find it, I can get my money back. Sigh.

They're widening my road so more than one car can go at a time. Whee. Maybe I'll be able to walk without dying once its done (though I'm doubting they're paving it)


ETA - Soul's day got worse. I just backed over him with the task chair a little. OOPS.

Poor, poor Soul! But I'm glad you found out it was yeast infection, since ear mite meds wouldn't do anything for it.

nope they would only make it worse with that oil in there

Soul hasn't had a good year. At least things will hopefully calm down.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and the poor dude isn't even a year old yet

[enemytosleep]

Poor Soul. :(

I feel bad. there's a clump of his fur stuck in the chair's wheel. oops.

I`m sorry, I did give a snort of laughter at the last bit...

does he have one of those frequent customer cards at the vets?didn`t even know that cats could get yeast infections.....

you know, recently reread your 2nd PP story where the way to attract the monster was to drag a dead cat soaked in anise seeds (or licorice, not quite sure) around...umm, could help but wonder, had the kids been acting up that day?

i should keep the clump of hair I tore out of him as a reminder to look before I roll

he and Iktomi (another frequent flyer at the vets) had yeast infections in their ears. Animals with especially furry ears (which is not either of my cats) can get them more easily.

You know I don't even remember WHAT my 2nd PP story was (but that reminds me I was supposed to go over there for the rerelease party) I didn't have any kids at that time though. It was probably memories of Iktomi the hell cat. Never ever name a pet after a trickster god

I think it was your 2nd, in any case it was in the 2nd season. had a very creepy child killing demon ....(who apparently was attracted to anise seed covered dead cat. very creative)

i guess naming a cat after a trickster god would be inviting trouble.

hope soul is better. I forget he`s still just a kid...

I'm going to have to go reread it. It was probably soe weird tidbit I found in folklore.

it is

Soul is just a baby. He'll be a year next month (and I'll be some other less appealing age then too)

Pour Soul. You are a mean mummy! ;)
