The best pet stand


The best pet stand

The cats love this box of paper. They all sit, stand and lay on it. It is especially useful for waiting for dinner time.
Last month he was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure (unrelated to the pet food recall). You can see here where he was shaved for his IV to be put in. He was sedated for them to put the IV in, however, as soon as he woke up he pulled it out. Not just once, but twice. They were pretty impressed that he managed to pull it out, because they also put an e-collar on him and he used his back leg. They gave up on the IV. Luckily he's eating and we are able to give him sub-cutaneous fluids to keep him hydrated; dehydration is a big concern for cats with failing kidneys.

I think the Sat sleep in is flimsy. I remember the time Tip jumped on my foot whilst I was sleeping - she learned to fly.
