Bath Time



Today, all three cats got a bath! You can imagine how fun that was. Actually, they aren't too bad when it comes to baths. They cry and do their best to try and find a way out of the tub, but they wouldn't be cats if they didn't. Poor things look like rats now.

Ember seems to have a problem lately with pooping. Actually, I am thinking I'll need to get her some special kitten food again for a while. She still has diarrhea from time to time, and tonight was pretty bad. She not only had diarrhea, she pooped outside the box, and for the second time that I've noticed she had a little blood in her stool. I'm going to try getting her some kitten food again and see if that helps the problem. If not, it's back to the vet for her. Poor baby. What makes it worse is that she managed to smear both blood and poop all over her backside! Not a pretty sight. So she got a nice bath.

Lucky for me we have glass sliding doors on our shower, so it makes it easier to keep the cat inside while I concentrate on washing her. Both Nexus and Artemus were pretty concerned when she started crying. And since 1-I was already getting damp from washing Ember and 2-the other two hadn't had a bath in quite a while they ALSO got their chance at a bath. Hopefully we won't need to give anyone a bath again for a while.
