Today I bought a small bed to keep on my desk rather than a towels. My two babies love it. Next to it is a box with their grooming supplies, a brush, and comb, toothbrushes, toothpaste, clippers.
I've had no problem with brushing (though I'd love to find a page with techniques if someone can direct me, please,) and even wiggled a toothbrush in their mouths last night. Before tonight I got 3 toenails clipped, just the tips, and played with lots of paws.
Tonight each kitty got a nice brushing and combing and most front claws worked on. They had a taste of kitty toothpaste as a treat (barely a smidge.)
When I did Lucius, I held back his head, did his chest and chin with the comb and he promptly fell asleep. I played with his paws to be sure he was out....then clipped a few nails.
Heck, at this rate, a claw or two a night and I'll be doing great.
Narcissa still has diarrhea, both are on Albon, and will start on Metronizidazole as of tonight. For the last couple days I've given them Jarro-dophilus, a half capsule each (though a full capsule tonight) mixed in a little dish with a smidgen of water. They both lap it up like it's a treat or something.
Narcissa doesn't know how to cover her poops/diarrhea. Is that a problem with diarrhea in general? I'm thinking she doesn't know it from a regular poop. Lucius just went in the litter box and did it for her. How nice is that (I did smell it first before I went to check and he was in the box.)
I don't really have any questions, I'm happy with how I'm doing. I obviously wish the diarrhea would stop, it's not fun to deal with. I'm reading the book "The Cat Whisperer" and just want to make sure my kitties are happy.
