Mop is beginning to come out of it, I'm sure mainly thanks to all the good wishes from all of you. She has eaten and drunk water, which means to me that she's getting well. Unfortunately, she is now doing the Poor Sick Cat demanding whine: I must eat only kitty treats, I must drink only fresh-poured water, and I must have them now! A relief of course, but she only gets to do this through tomorrow. Her tell of wellness is that she's holding her tail up and meowing.

I may seem a little nutty to some of you, but I had many cats back in the days before they had vaccines against cat distemper, and I had quite a few cats who started with those symptoms and never recovered. It still scares me when a cat won't drink water.

Thank the Goddess of the Night for vaccines. Or maybe Our Lady of Veternary Science, whoever is responsible.

And thanks again to you other cat ladies and gents for the kind thoughts.

I don't have a Bast icon (Bastet?), so Hekate will have to do.

So glad she's recovering!

Woo-hoo! That's the sexiest Hekate I've ever seen! (Hekate is the Mother Goddess of my trad.)

;o)

Thankee! She's from a Jessica Galbreth print and I just love it a whole bunch!

Glad she is in good enough shape to make her human servant perform tasks just because she says so.

Yeah, the lack of demands for service were really getting me down. Thanks!

Glad your cat is feeling better.

I know all about cat monologues. I'm taking care of my sister's pets this week. The dog is happy at my house. The cat prefers not to be moved. My sister left the door to the area where the cat box is closed. There is also a pet door which the cat is perfectly capable of using. But she wants the big door opened for her. (She doesn't mind leaving the room through the cat door.) So Kitty says to herself, "I'll poop on the kitchen floor to show my mistress who's boss." Unfortunately her mistress isn't around to get the message. Fortunately I know what's going on and leave the door open after the first evening. Otherwise there'd be cat poop all over that house!

Love the icon! I think her cat and mine went to the same school...

Oh, I hadn't seen the sick kitty post! I'm glad she's getting better.
She'll have you running for as long as she can keep up the "woe is me" face, if my cats are any example. LOL.

Wonderful icon! I love how they're posing. And thanks.

As LadyS says above, I believe Egyptian Goddess Bast is the one you're looking for. She takes care of all our feline friends.

Somehow I didn't see the pictures the first time! Wonderful! Thanks. I remember seeing one like the bottom one at some touring exhibit on Egypt that also included lots of little cat mummies, the wrappings twisted up like ears on their heads. I don't know that I've ever seen the part human one, on top.

I'm glad to hear Mop's doing better. I missed your initial post about her not doing well, & I'm still catching up. And no, you don't seem nutty at all--my family lost at least 2 cats to distemper in the old days. Even now, there are other things to dread when a cat won't drink. Poor Sick Cat is much preferable! Although I hope by now that stage has passed too. [hug]

Thanks--yeah, all those symptoms could go with some other very nasty things. My last cat got something really nasty from eating squirrels. Fortunately Mop's not a hunter. And she's quite well now, and returned to her normal ways, as normal as those ever are.
