I have been absent trying to get Frasier well but what we have tried seems not to be working. Today, I decided, no more stressful trips to the vets. It sounds like he has kennel cough, so I am giving him meds that are used for kennel cough. If that doesn’t work then he will have to kick this on his own.

To do further tests on him would require monies I don’t currently have, so I have to just stop and pray that God still wants this beautiful black boy around for awhile. He is eating and coughing less, but yesterday, I was anchored down on the couch all day because he was so lethargic. He slept on my lap the entire day and hardly moved. I had the day off, but my house still needs a good scrubbing which didn’t get done.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring, but it is still very cold here. The cat’s playroom has been changed a bit to accomodate a new product currently under review: The Kitty Staircase to Heaven by felinefurniture The cats love it and it takes up the entire wall and climbs almost to the ceiling.

Last night we had a black and white visitor outside. I know the skunks are coming “home” but they are early this year. I just hope they don’t get hit on the road. I still don’t understand how a motorist can’t avoid a skunk. They are so slow moving even at a fast waddle. I think this is the last of the babies that returned last night though it is hard to tell because face it, all these skunk babies we saved a few years ago look alike.

The other cats came running in looking highly offended once the spray hit it’s mark. I ended up putting vicks on my nose so I could at least not smell the odor. Of course this morning, Gretchen decided to roll in the stink and she got a bath quickly.
