2/11/06

I didn't have high hopes when I got on the scale Tuesday, what with my Super Bowl binging and all, but I was down 1/2 pound, to 339.8. I don't have high hopes for next Tuesday, either. I've been sick all week, and haven't felt like working out. And I've eaten like a pig. So I don't expect the same pleasant surprise I got last week. Oh well, back on track now.

Katchoo was sick this week too. She has crystals in her urine. Cats are pretty prone to urinary tract problems. She now has to drink distilled water. No more drinking out of the bathroom faucet for her. I ordered her a recirculating water dish on e-bay. It is similar to this, but the water shoots up instead of flowing down. She should love it! She has to have special food now, too. $30 a bag food. But it is a 16 pound bag, which should last about 5 months. She has to go back to the vet next month for another urinalysis and a shot. I'm going to let them collect the urine sample this time. Not so easy getting a urine sample from a cat. And she has to take medicine. I could choose from 1 pill a day or drops twice a day, and opted for the drops. When she had to get her worm pill at the vet last year, she REALLY didn't like it, so drops seemed the better option. Not that she likes that, either.
