So...has Pinot turned into a princess yet?

You already know she's a princess!

Hey Pinot!
I heard Meowmie say you tried to eat a toad and now you don't feel good. Are you okay? Do you feel better now? We don't have toads in Trenton and I don't think I've ever seen one in real life. Well, Soncat is going on a trip on Sunday and he'll be gone for two weeks so I have to finish helping him get ready. I'm sure going to miss him! Feel better soon so you'll be okay for our next Catmobile adventure. I'll call you on your cell phone. Please say hi to your purrents for me?

Purrs and headbumpies,
Your friend,
Groucho

Toads do cause dogs to become lethargic and drool a lot so it might be the same for cats. One of our dogs licked a toad a few years ago and we had to keep him in the entrance on layers of sheets because the drool was so bad. It cleared up in less than a week and he was fine, but it did interfere with his eating and he did throw up quite a bit. No side effects, hope it works the same for cats, hope Pinot gets back to normal soon.

Going after a toad...silly girl...

Whew, vet visit done, Pinot's fine!

Dr. Huson looked her up and down (and put THAT THERMOMETER THERE!), talked to us for a good long time about her eating habits and anything that could be wrong. She said, "I see a healthy kitty", who may be eating too fast, or could have too much water mixed with the food... She also discussed something I've read about on this forum quite a bit, and that's gradually reducing carbs/grains. She may just not be fond of processing them. She supports the opinion that cats just don't need them, and some just don't have the system to support processing them.

So, we'll do this GRADUALLY, but we'll be, as Dr. Huson said, "cutting down on the kibble". Thanks y'all for being there for the princess; she's our healthy 11lb. beauty.
