Ok, that's not ENTIRELY true. The sun did come out for a while after 3:30 PM or so and dried things up. Today I took Ember to the vet to try and figure out that blood in her stool problem. And the diarrhea problem since Andrew and I are both getting tired of trying to catch it before she sits on something. For the price of $102 I got: liquid oral medicine for 6 days, 3 cans of specialty wet food, an explanation that it MAY be colonitis or it may be something else. It MAY be something we can fix and it MAY be something she'll have to grow out of. Or she MAY have it forever. I assure you, if this is something she is always going to have, her butt is getting shaved.
She, however, was the perfect little angel today during our escapade. She dealt with the walk to the vet very well, stayed in the vet's tiny common area for almost two hours (which was crowded with dogs), and sat on my shoulders very nicely on the way back and to the store. It wasn't until she came back that she acted up >< . A couple of hours after coming back (note: AFTER we cleaned out the cat box) she peed on the newspaper outside of the cat box. *sigh* can't win.
I also bought a bag of crystal cat litter and I'm trying it in another box along side our old litter. I'm seeing if maybe having different litter will convince Nexus and Ember to start covering up their stool. So far, including the peeing incident, the verdict isn't good. So much for me being smart! Oh well, we'll give it a few more days. I'm sure all the kids are going to be pissed off when they discover they all have to suffer in their diet until Ember gets better.
Bright side! We went out and got Pizza today at the Homemade Pizza Company! Woot pizza!
