Wake Up Call
I have learned by watching Deadliest Catch that being shat upon by a seagull while at sea is good luck. So I couldn't help but wonder this morning if being vomited on while in bed, by a house cat is also good luck. Just maybe? It was only my ninja-like reflexes and judicious use of a duvet cover shield that saved me from a disgustingly soiled face.
Poor Josie cat! It was very clear last night that she didn't feel well. She was very itchy, her face looked puffy to me and she wouldn't stop carrying on. Then there was the poop. Poop on the floor. Very uncharacteristic. She also developed a couple crusty bumps under her coat.
Fast forward to this morning, when I found her drinking from a tiny pool of water in the bathtub. I spotted a completely bald spot on her left shoulder which materialized over night. More carrying on and finally the vomit attack. Thank God Flounder was there to help me remove the offending blanket. I really wouldn't have guessed Josie was capable of creating such a large mess. Yucks!
Saint Flounder stayed home today to take the sick kitty to the vet where it was discovered that she has a bacterial infection. Poor Josie! I can't help but think there must have been something we could have done to prevent it. I just hope she is feeling better by the time I get home tonight.
I really don't want to witness a repeat performance.
