mystery

Lyra's blood work came back normal, and they looked for everything. The vet said she's seen three other cats with exactly the same symptoms: high fever, low energy, otherwise fine. Sounds like something viral. This worries me a bit as I have another cat, and I don't want him catching whatever she has. In fact, Tristan has taken over greeting-mistress-at-the-front-door duty.

The vet gave me some different antibiotics to give to Lyra. They're supposed to be chewable, but they're really hard, so I snapped them in half to make it easier for her. I have to take her back on Friday, and they'll re-check her temperature. They're getting to know me by sight at the vet's these days. And of course, Tristan is due for shots and a check-up at the end of the month.

Since the gloomy weather and the sick cat have got me feeling gloomy and sick, which I'm now passing along to readers, here's something fun: Hugh Laurie singing "Mystery" in his best Sammy Davis, Jr. voice. I may just watch an entire DVD's worth of A Bit of Fry and Laurie, just to keep the laughs going.

They think that D's problems were viral as well. He's on the mend, but I can't help but feel worried that he'll slip.

I hope that your kitty feels better.
