flummoxicatedYou have been warned!
Romana (seen in the icon) has a urinary tract infection. Poor girl! :( I took her to the vet this week because she has been going outside the litter box - like in the other end of the house. The nice thing is, she has been going in the bath tub. While I'm not thrilled about a cat peeing where I take my shower, clean up is much easier in a tub than on a rug. We will be getting another litter box, in case her new bathroom habit is also due to her displeasure over the new cat, who I have nicknamed "Big McLarge Huge" because he looks so much bigger than the dainty girl cats.
She also has irritable bowel syndrome. Apparently cats can get the feline equivalent of just about anything a human can. Who knew? So she also gets to go on a high fiber, low fat diet. I should probably join her, though I don't plan on eating cat food, of course.
The dog I had when I was growing up barfed a lot, and I managed to train her to barf in the bathtub. I can't remember exactly how I accomplished this...probably just led her there when she started to hurl. It makes me wonder if Romana is the reincarnation of Fuzzy. They both dislike members of their own species too.
