Melbcat asked for uppies today and proceeded to have a long cuddle and scritches with a visitor! That was so cute. She pouted and sulked when cuddle time had to end before she was ready.

She’s still crying and wanting extra food (among a couple of other things) so I called the vet again about steroids for ibd flare. They talked about the side effects, blamed the osmolax, told me to monitor and call back Monday.

It seems they don’t want to deal with it but I keep calling to stay on it as long as she’s not feeling well. If there’s something I can do for her comfort I will.

I’ve managed to screw up my sleeping pattern again.
