brightrosefoxAnd last night, another one. Delerium -- Del -- was closer this time, and Dream was farther. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but I could hear him perfectly clear.
I will continue, later.
We're still giving Tuesday her prednisone and terbutaline, morning and night. We were wrapping the tablets in the Pill Pockets, cat version salmon flavor. But for some reason she has turned away from those. She prefers the dog version beef flavor. When I give Ralph aspirin, tucked into the dog version, Tuesday comes running and begs. In fact, all the cats do. It must be the beef and vegetable taste. Cats crave meat more than dogs, I think, because cats are obilgate carnivores (although I hear you can actually feed a cat a vegan diet so long as it is very powerfully nutritous or something like that; I say it's just easier to feed the cat meat). So I think these dog treats, which contain more meat, must call to a basic nutritional instinct in Tuesday. In any case, she's eating her hidden pills, which makes me happy because Adam won't need to trap her and force them down her throat again and suffer bite wounds and claw marks.
We have an appointment this Saturday at noon, to take her to the vet's for her first anti-allergy injection, which means we can stop giving her pills anyway (I will keep the pills just in case).
So if you have a cat who needs to take pills and you value your skin, I suggest Pill Pockets. They cause much less bleeding in humans. Trust me.
