Ladies and gentlemen, Styx.

This just an update about my poor cat. My dad was finally able to get ahold of the vet's office, and we found out that neither of the actual vets are in today. So unless my cat improves, and sadly that looks unlikely, may dad and I are going to have to bring him in tomorrow morning. This is probably going to be the worst Monday I've had in a long time. In the meantime, my dad was told about a couple of things we could try. He put out a tiny bit of food for him and some water. My cat's been drinking just a little bit, but he's not eating at all.

It's killing me how much this is dragging on. In a way, it's almost like the day my mom died. That day dragged on forever too. The sad thing is that my cat really does want to feel well, but he just can't walk. He's tried stepping out of his box a few times, but he really can't move. I don't know if he's in any pain or not, but he's pretty much helpless at the moment, and that's just as bad. So like it or not, my dad and I are going to have to give it one more day. I suppose there's a little hope that my cat might get better, but I'm pretty much a realist when it comes to this sort of thing.

That's pretty much all there is to report at the moment. I'll probably do another post tomorrow to let everyone know how things turn out. Until next time.

EDIT: My dad and I almost took my cat out to this emergency animal clinic out of town. But we didn't because it would've cost an arm and a leg, and I don't think the trip would've been too good on my poor kitty. So once again we're going to have to wait until tomorrow to get him to the vet here in town. The good news is that he doesn't seem to be in any danger of "kicking off" very soon. In fact there does seem to be a slim ray of hope. Earlier my cat was moving pretty good when he went back to my mom's old office to hide under a table. But I'm still not all that optimistic. He's an old cat, and this is the second time he's been sick in a week. All we can do is wait to see what the vet says. I am not at all looking forward to tomorrow morning.

That pretty much does it for me tonight. After I'm done here, I'm just going to turn off my computer and try and turn in early. Maybe tonight I can get some actual sleep. Until next time.
