About that Cat

So talking about this kind of stuff doesn't really add anything of good to a food blog.
So I won't go into too much detail but...
Misha, our 12 year old cat has had a stroke. So now we have to keep him in so he doesn't go out and never return and we can keep an eye on him.
He howls at the door to go out still even after all this time of keeping him in.
I am so used to opening the door up for him when he insists that I have to catch myself when I am not thinking and starting to open it.
He also had a upper respiratory infection, and tapeworm. EWWW!
He was sneezing and eye dripping for a few weeks. Finally he is over it. The tapeworm only took one pill to kill (both cats had to be treated).
But it took me days to stop freaking out about parasites!
After a $500 vet bill I asked the Vet if it was a good idea to get Pet Health Ins.
She said, "you won't get it for this cat, it is a preexisting condition"
Do you think they could add Pet Ins to the Health Bill they are getting ready to pass(if they ever do) in Congress??
Needless to say both cats seemed to forget where the litter was and managed to find other areas of the basement to let us know they were not well. I am still not over that, even though they are now using the litter again.
Molly our Lab sleeps by Misha on the sofa, as if to protect him, they are buddies.
Oh, the joy of pet ownership.
Our Pets we couldn't be without; Misha the Mayor (Maine Coon Cat), Phat Phoenix (Calico with no tail) and Magnificent Molly (black lab) the best dog in the world!
