Convalescent Cat

[mamculuna]

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.

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.
