Hate these type of phone calls
Received a call tonight from a good friend. Her 13 year old cat was open mouth panting, drooling and regurgitating saliva only. These can be symptoms of a seizure.
She is going to watch her through the night, and if she gets worse she will take her in to the vet, but most certainly first thing tomorrow morning she will be at the clinic door. I only hope I am wrong, but it was the first thing that came to my mind when she told me about the situation.
On a lighter note, tonight my stepson took us to dinner. We were sitting there and just rehashing his visit with us. I told him that I was so glad he was so tolerant of the cats. We have had visitors here in the past who were not so tolerant. He laughed and said he learned something valuable about staying here. If he needs a clean towel, he will never take one from the top of the pile. Instead, he will take one several down from the top of the stack.
Apparently, the other morning, he took the top towel and when he got out of the shower, he buried his face in the towel to dry it off, and what he got for his trouble was fur in his face, nose and mouth! My towel cupboard is 8 feet high (until the remodeling is finished, towels are stacked on top of the pantry cupboard. I have seen Prowler lying up there, unsure of how she gets up there though, she has no clear launching platform except the floor. Denny got a Prowler towel and a lesson in cat hair and how hard it is to remove from wet skin!
