This made me very sad, especially the "damn cat" part and Kami's obvious
distress as a result of your reaction to what happened. Since March my cat Sadie has been very ill with liver/biliary problems and IBD. I've been force feeding her all this time and she has had mostly good days peppered with bad ones, although we're running out of options and are now starting a last resort medication. During the bad times she hasn't been able to help it and has pooped/vomited on the bed or all over the floor, which is not a fun thing to clean up. Sometimes it can get frustrating and I feel like I'm going to cry, but you know what? I NEVER NEVER NEVER blame her. She can't help it and I love her so much I will just shut up and clean up, then kiss her and hug her more because she deserves extra special care, understanding and compassion and I'm not going to allow a little grossness to get in the way of that. Kami is older and probably has the beginnings of arthritis as a result of her being declawed. This could very well be contributing to her having some problems and instead of bitching about something she can't help, you should be spending your time developing some compassion for the furry little *senior citizen* that shares your home. If she is getting poop stuck to her butt you can take her to a groomer and have her rear shaved a little so that doesn't happen. It will ease her obvious distress when this occurs (and then I won't have to read anymore rants about your "damn cat." ) Megan What Megan said, only she said it much better than I did. If, Brandy, you really want solutions instead of just "venting'' listen to Megan and the rest of us who nursed cats who were well past their "prime." If this becomes a habit with Kami, get her butt shaved and invest in a Bissell Little Green portable carpet/upholstery cleaner. It makes the cleaning a snap if it happens again. Sherry |
