Thought I would share this picture of my recently adopted cat Sammy, and my sweet Ethel sleeping together who seem to be bonding nicely. It will be two weeks tomorrow that I brought Sammy home to keep Ethel company after losing her other feline companion. Sammy is the huge black beauty and Ethel is little the brown beauty.
Poor Ethel is under the weather right now; she caught a virus, probably from Sammy who had been living with 400 other cats at the Cat Protection Society for years which resulted in her getting these sores in her mouth which made it too painful for her to eat or drink. Long story short.... the trip to the vet has her on the right track with a shot of penicillin, two subcutaneous saline injections to get some fluid into her, a high caloric nutritional supplement and liquid antibiotics. Poor baby. I am still crying at her discomfort. But the good new is that all the blood tests came back normal and today she has started drinking some water and eating some cat treats. Life is good!
