Premature?

Posted on February 17, 2012 by nadbugs

Bugs hardly ate last night.  This morning he threw up all of the tiny amount of baby-food and tuna oil I spoon-fed him.  Reader-Amy and my friend Christine say to worry; I am worried.  We’re going to the vet later … Continue reading →

The Door Cracked Open

Posted on February 12, 2012 by nadbugs

Stardate:  Last day before the door-opening ceremony.  Ship’s log:  On course. First up:  I am flat-out flabbergasted at Fangie’s high-octane jet-fueled play-mojo. Finally on Friday night I had a chunk of time to spend with him.  I was determined to … Continue reading →

Waiting

Posted on February 9, 2012 by nadbugs

The vet’s opinion, conveyed by the vet-tech over the phone this morning, is that we need to wait with the introduction, for one more week.  Teresa made the excellent point that we needed to think about both cats.  Not only … Continue reading →

Relief Of Two Varieties

Posted on February 2, 2012 by nadbugs

After all that excitement with Bugs last night, Fangie’s nasal discharge and wheeze got worse.  By this morning, there was no question but that I needed to get him to the vet pronto.  I was petrified I’d lose him, that … Continue reading →
