My cat is sick. The vet told me he's got some sort of inflammation in one of his vital organs. Apparently cats' organs are packed pretty tightly together - once one swells up they all start to swell.
So my cat has ballooned to about twice his normal size. He looks like a fuzzy gray beach ball with a cat head glued on (note to self: make fuzzy fat cat beach ball). He spent last night at the vet's taking fluids from the world's most adorable/depressing little IV. Now he's here - feverish though thankfully not vomiting anymore*.
The IV has given him enough energy to be a grumpy bastard again. It's good because it's nice to have my cat back, bastard that he is. It's bad because I have to force feed him kitty pepto bismol twice a day from a plastic syringe. He thanks me primarily with his teeth and claws. Apparently, cats aren't so big on bubblegum flavor.
*or crap in the shower - I'd rather not go into details
