and because i’m a Scoldy Scolderson i now have to take Toonces Whorecat to the vet. Not for rat poisoning though. because i don’t keep rat poison in the house.

when i got home from work this afternoon i came home to a houseful of cat puke. apparently there had been an exorcism while i was out. i cleaned up the many piles and then the cat started hurling all over again. she can’t even keep water down. so first thing in the morning i’ll have her at the vet’s office. she’s giving me hell at the moment cos she wants food, but forget it sister, i’m tired of cleaning up your puke. i’ve cleaned up 23 pukes and i’m out of paper towels.

i’ve been holding her and petting her a lot this afternoon/evening and it’s weird because she seems to have more energy today than in all the past 14 days combined. (you’ll recall that two weeks ago i had to take her to the vet for blood in the urine) and all she’s done the past two weeks is sleep for 23 hours a day and the other hour is her eating/shitting/re-nesting hour. and honestly, there hasn’t been that many poops in the litter box. and she’s been eating like a hoss. and she’s lost a lot of weight. she looks scrawny. and i can feel her bones when i pet her.

what is wrong with my keekat?

i’m terrified that it’s going to be something horrible like diabetes or kidney failure or other such ailment. and i can’t justify spending money on insulin or other medicines that will prolong her life but will confuse her and make her hate me (i can’t see her being all, “hey! come and prick me twice a day to check my blood sugar and then hold me down and give me a shot! i totally understand why you do it and i love you for it!”

no. the cat will hate us. she’ll live the rest of her days hating me and terrified that every time i touch her i’m gonna give her a shot.

another fear i have is that she has rabies. it’s a dumb fear. i know that. but still, i can see the vet saying, “mrs. jones, your cat has rabies.” and then after i come to and tell the vet that she hasn’t been out of the house for two years how could she possibly have rabies. and then the vet says, “it can lay dormant for years. in fact, you probably have rabies too.” and somehow i’ll wake up from the nightmare with a wet pillow…because i’ve spit all over it.
BECAUSE I HAVE RABIES.

or maybe the cat just has a virus or something. i mean, i guess they can just get sick, right? although, i’ve NEVER heard of anyone who had a cat that got a stomach virus.

this is dumb. i’m going to bed and when i get up i’ll take the kitty to the vet and we’ll see what he says.
