The Kitty Flu

The flu bug has been rolling through here since the beginning of last week.  Almost all of the cats have had it.  We finally had to take Paddy to the vet yesterday.  He had a big expensive blood test and it's still the flu.  Midgey went also because she is loosing weight so she had a big expensive blood test too.  Her Thyroid is good (on meds) and all her organs are functioning well.  She will need some richer food.  We have to go tomorrow and pick it up.  Cherry had her Rabies shot and she wouldn't let us pick her up all night.  She yelped every time we tried.  She seems better today but she still grunts a bit when we pick her up. 
The only cats that didn't get the flu were Victor and Tanner.  I have no idea why they seemed to have an immunity.  I used the little green machine to clean the rugs so much I couldn't use the vacuum.  I couldn't tell where the rugs were actually dry.  Even the two cats in the back room got the flu (Hunter and Moosey).

My poor son broke his ankle at work.  He will be off it for around eight weeks.  I went tonight and picked up his mail for him.  He's about to go crazy already and it just happened at the end of last week.  He can't drive since it's his right foot.  I'm going to have to take him to the doctor possibly next week.

I sure wish that things would calm down a bit.  We can't afford all these bills for the animals.  Next week I have to renew Cherry's license for three years.  That's another $50.00.  This weekend I have to get some meds for Ming at Fred Meyer Pharmacy.  The vet writes a script for the meds and I take it there and they fill it.  They even price match with other pharmacies in the Portland area.

Better go to bed...Good night from Muttzncatz's Place
