I have not read the previous posts, but I wanted to share this.. Artie just pooped some more!!!   another 7 x 1/2 inches!!! 

I do not know what I did?  Maybe I messed up his meds??? but I will take it!!!   and it was soft!!!!   and he is eating!!

I sound so anal when I say this, but the length and thickness is correct.. I am holding up a tape measure to it!!!   I am so strange... but I want accuracy for my records....

No, the tape measure does not touch or txt tat near to the poop..

Maybe it's just Artie deciding that he really needs to poop and eat today

I have to admit that I have gotten a grin or two out of the idea of you carefully measuring the length of Artie's poop.  You were so precise that I assumed you were using a tape measure and sure enough, you are!   The things we do out of love for our kitties!  Artie probably thinks of each poop as a special gift to his beloved human who seems to admire them so much.

Haha, it could only get stranger if you photographed them with the tape measure for permanent documentation. That' be nuts!

NO.... I have been mostly eyeballing it...Last week, I was looking through one of my many junk drawers, discovering the old tape measure. It was a lark at first-- I wanted to see how accurate my guesstimates were. I came pretty close... now I am measuring it.. do not ask me why?  I am crazed....

Actually, It was so thick.. I was wondering how thick it actually was.. to think that could come out of such a small animal..
OR thinks his owner strange
I agree with that.. I am so strange!!

No, I have not photographed his poop.... no!!   

I guess I am weird.... sigh...

It looks as if our snow storm has fizzled out to nothing... only a couple inches ......

 Gotta go bother Artie for a brushing... just to bother him...

He ate good during the night.. 1/4 of a large can.. not so much this morning.. and he spit out part of his cisapride liquid.. he cannot do that...

:lol3: Not strange at all, yes, the things we do for our kitties!
When Angel had cystitis, I would get excited & praise him for big pee pee's. Saying "Good boy, good pee pee's!"
....And yes, I did take pictures of the clump sizes on the scoop, sometimes for the vet, when a follow up appt was coming, so she could see what he was doing. :nod:
He was such a big, long boy, that big ones were actually close to, if not baseball size!

Wow, Artie looks a bit meatier than some of the other pics you've posted.  I'm glad he's back on the pooping track again.

I suppose life will be a bit up and down for a while.  Just hang in there.  You're doing a great job caring for your sweet boy.

Big smooches for Artie, BIG BIG HUGS to you.  xoxohope

He really is looking much better now!  And as for being strange...when one is strange in pursuit of the health and happiness of a dearly loved companion, that is the very best strange there is.  And I, for one, would not want to live in a world without that strangeness.  So you just strange away, my Dear Friend, and I'll cheer you on while practicing my own strangeness over here!

We are waiting for Poops, today!!! He has eaten fairly well,,, not great, but ok.... now the poops... He is really getting feisty about his meds.. moving his head, keeping him jaw clamped shut, putting his right paw up to push away the syringe... 

He usually opens up his mouth when I touch it with the syringe.. now he has had enough... sometimes I wonder if he is getting all of his cisapride...

he needs to poop!    10.51 lbs this morning...
