You may not know this, but foster Ming is STILL living under my sofa. It is a high legged piece of furniture, so I have easy access to petting her and do so daily. But it was not until this morning (she has been here 3 1/2 weeks) that I realized that she must not be coming out from under the sofa at ALL.

I, like a good foster mom, placed a litter box right next to the sofa when she accidentally went on the floor under the sofa..........I, like a good mom, placed food under there where she could reach it easily............but I, like a complete and total idiot never for one minute thought she was not coming out to drink.

This morning when I pet her, I realized that she felt dehydrated. After panic, I placed a water bowl under the sofa and she drank like crazy. OMG! How could I have been so stupid?

I am taking her in to the vet at 4:45 today for possibly fluids, a check up and maybe some blood work to rule out any illness. But I am certain it will all lead back to me and my not thinking.

I am so sorry.
