Well, yesterday I took Mishi in for his annual exam, bloodwork and vaccine. He's down to 14.2 lbs. (from 14.5), which I guess is okay, although we don't want him to lose any more. He is lean for his size. We are still monitoring his kidneys which the vet says are still abnormal for such a young cat, and he's still on the K/D. I have to call tomorrow to get the blood work results. He is kinda punky today, but the vet said that's to be expected from the vaccine.
He IS my weird boy. A couple of months ago, all of a sudden he stopped drinking water out of his bowl, insisting that he ONLY have fresh water flowing from the tap. It is a pain, but he's so cute about it I can't get mad at him. I did buy one of those Pet Fresh flow (don't remember the exact name) fountains. First he played with the water, he's sipped at it a couple of times, but he still seems to prefer the fresh-from-the-tap water. I'm happy to be his slave, but it does concern me as I will be out of town for several days at the end of June. I just hope he gets used to the fountain by then, or I'll have to let my critter sitter know he must have fresh-flowing water from the tap.
Today is also the two-year anniversay of my RB Goldie's death day. Yesterday at the vet's, Mishi and I were in the same room and he was examined on the same table that I last saw Goldie laying on. <sigh> Two beautiful golden kitties and I'm SO happy that I adopted my Mishi boy. Goldie will never be replaced, but Mishi sure does fulfill my desire to schmoozle golden fur.
