Small Announcement

Hello. Webmaster here.

Long story short (heed the warnings above): my 5yo (male) cat has been vomiting for a month, even if he's fine otherwise. We don't know what he has, but we're at the stage where some of the possibilities left on the list are very scary. Regardless of how it goes (we'll know more in two weeks once we can get him an endoscopy), we're going through a period of anticipatory grief about a goodbye that one day will happen.

I don't know when updates will be back to a regular schedule. If I do work, I'll try to focus on what gives me pleasure instead of what needs to be done (though i haven't been able to sit at a laptop at all the last couple days). I please ask you that you be extra patient with each other while I put my heart back together as best as I can. I'm of course always reachable in case of urgent need.

Thank you so much ♥️

Just came back from our visit. He didn't have the endoscopy because the doctor thinks it's unlikely to be lymphoma (he'd be losing weight) and that it might not even be IBD. We're first trying him on gastric reflux medication and seeing whether that calms things down. If it doesn't, we will likely have the endoscopy in a couple weeks.

We're still waiting to see if the medicine will have any effect (if it doesn't he'll go through endoscopy this coming week), but I wanted to bring a moment of levity to this thread by letting you all know that the most prominent side effect this medicine is having is that it makes my neutered baby extremely horny.

He's been kneading us with gusto, yowling with desire, sometimes going as far as lounging at us trying to... I guess mount us? I've never seen so much cat dick in my life.

All I can hope is that this is fun for him and he isn't in serious blue-balls distress.

Small update: he's still doing mostly alright, but also still sick. When we stopped the horny juice yesterday, since he was still puking on it, he had a relapse and a bad puke day (four times, poor boy). With this, the only thing left to do is waiting for the endoscopy on Monday.

My energy levels are all over the place. I was doing better until the rough patch yesterday, and now I'm just vegetating again. I know this is fine, just wanted to keep you updated :)

I'll let you know as soon as we have him back safe and sound after the anesthesia/exam on Monday!
