Can she stay in a crate or cat carrier overnight?
I would have to double check with Grace, but I think the NT doesn't bother the throat at all like the ET does. I can tell Allie is dopey...blank staring, unsteady gait, etc. I put down 3 types of food, and water, made her a hidey hole, and told J to leave her alone!!! I will medicate her in an hour or so, but, I think we should just leave her be for the night. I hope.

I can't imagine keeping her in a crate, after spending the last 5 days in one, KWIM? It is a pretty small room- J's bedroom (LOL, like he uses it???). I have his twin mattress down, the box spring up against the wall, and one dresser on top of the other to keep her from jumping. And, of course, a litter box. She does like his room...so, I hope by tomorrow morning there is some food gone. Hope, hope, hope.

Please, little girl, eat!!!
