Hi guys...
I feel so horrible...I just posted yesterday how Hobbes was crying that the litterbox wasn't clean, so we cleaned it...and it turns out that he's got some sort of digestive health issue going on. His rear end is all red and sore looking, and got stuff around it (different than just having "leftovers" if you catch my drift), and he's now as of last night crying when he leaves the litterbox, and comes over and cries to me to let me know he's not feeling good.
So, I've got both him AND Sunny scheduled to be seen by the vet on Monday...him for that, and Sunny for those bumps on her neck (we had planned to wait until after we move, since it wasn't an emergency thing with her bumps)...but Mama's scared, guys. I really don't know what's wrong with him.
Add to that the stupidity of us never getting them their vaccinations (we thought that since they were strictly indoors, and never around any other cats PERIOD, that they didn't need them, and recently learned otherwise), so I'm worried that it may be something that we could've prevented had we been more informed.
I honestly thought that was the case...that they weren't needed...as my mother never got our kitties their shots, so I thought that was right. Stupid me...TOTALLY WRONG.
I'm so upset and worried...he's still eating and drinking, just visiting the litterbox more often for both pee and poop...and his poor little back side really doesn't look happy (you know where I mean, right?).
I feel like such a horrible, awful Mommy...I swore to take care of them and protect them when they came into my house, and made such an awful decision in not getting them vaccinations. I don't know if times have changed as far as having to get ALL cats vaccinated, or if my mother was just not-so-smart in not doing it for our kitties.
Please pray that they're okay, and that he just ate something that didn't agree with his system, or something silly like that (he's silly like that...kinda like babies that'll find the ONE thing on the floor that you missed in sweeping).
Hugs,
Rosie BadMommy
