Yes, I'm a worry wart so I decided to call the ER for some advice. The lady was surprised to hear that Pearl had passed the red elastic string. She said to just watch her and if she starts vomiting, becomes lethargic, or has diarrhea then I should be concerned. She feels that she has already passed all of it so she should be fine. I sure hope so.

I told her that Pearl's been acting normally except that she's been very hungry and eating a lot more than normal lately. She said that this is because it's getting cooler and cats will eat more during the cold weather even indoor cats.They usually gain 1/2-1lb during the cooler months and then will lose 1/2-1lb during the warmer months when they eat less.Their bodies need the extra weight for insulation to help keep them warm. I never knew this about indoor cats so I learned something new tonight. The lady also has 6 indoor only cats.
