Shaving & eating

P: Mom is taking Turds early in the morning to get shaved.

She hasn't mentioned it to him because then she'll nefur find him.

This is the last time you'll see him fully furred for a long time.

----------------------------------------

Pickle finished a whole half a can of stinky goodness.



Mom went to Petco to get some kitten food (she was feeding him a/d when he was being force-fed) and found their Pet Gold stinky goodness on sale for $.15 a can. They're gettin' rid of it or somefing. And it seems to be an okay food, with actual meat the primary ingredient and few to no grains.


So Mom got cans for Pickle and then adult food for Moo, who lives outside.

That's NOT my tail. I would NOT be begging for food or anyfing. Nope.

Today on The Pickle Report

T: Pickle is eating on his own now-stinky goodness, anyway. The kibble he's kinda "eh" about. He will eat it if someone actually handfeeds it to him, though.

Mom gave him a bath and he's much shinier and clean.

He's also up and walking around some, which is definitely progress because originally all he would do is sit in his bed. He uses the litterbox well and has been playing a little.

But he still walks very strangely. Mom doesn't think he's in pain 'cause she's felt around and looked and he doesn't react at all-it just seems to be how he walks.

Anyway, he's now demanding anyone in the area pay attention to him. Which means I get less attention-hey! I'm gettin' robbed!

No fairs.

This is Pickle. As in, "in a pickle."

Mom talked her mom (our grandma) into spotting her the money until she gets paid Thursday, so she took him to the vet.

He tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, and the vet said he was healthy aside from severe malnutrition and dehydration. So poor Pickle got sub-q fluids and force fed, treated for fleas, and sent home. The vet also said that whatever had happened to his legs was an old injury and shouldn't be anything to worry about.

So he's getting some Pet-Tinic twice a day, force fed if he won't eat, and if he's still not eating in a couple of days will get more sub-q fluids.

Hey, Pickle, we'll eat the stinky goodness for you.

Mom and her friend found a kitten today.

He's probably about 8 or 9 weeks old and seems to have been injured previously, because his legs stick out in an odd way. It's so hard to tell if he's hurting because he's just so scared.

He hisses a lot.

But he's very, very skinny-every bone he has sticks out and Mom really wants to take him to the vet, but since she's got to take Turtle to the vet Thursday she does not have any extra money. She is a college student after all, and they're naturally broke, haha.

She has no idea what to do. This poor kitten needs some medical attention. He's definitely dehydrated and probably hasn't eaten in a LONG time, not to mention his legs being injured. Right now he's napping in a carrier with food and water.

Mom will hopefully post pictures in the next couple of days.

Mmm...

I ate a cookie today.

It was a really good cookie from Great 'Merican Cookie. That's what the bag said, anyway.

Mom had the bag sitting on the desk and left for a little bit.

When she came home, the bag was knocked over and there was a cookie laying there with nibbles taken out of it. Lots of nibbles.

I tried to convince her it was a mouse, but no dice.

I'm in trouble. 'Parently cookies are bad for kitties.

Tasted good to me.

Shopping!

P: Our mom really likes to shop.

T: And she especially likes to shop for US-who better?!

P: So her question is-where do you like to shop for kitty stuff? Any good websites or stores she should look into?

T: We'd sure appreciate any suggestions! Fanks, guys!
