Despite my obvious neglect of this site, a whole lot of nothing overly great has been going on. It all started with the arrival of our cd burner [and an abundance of blank media ]. Then our kitty, JJ, got increasingly ill and things have been a bit hectic [emotionally draining, even]. We’re still awaiting test results from JJ’s lab analysis. They drained two liters of fluid from his body cavity. This, of course, was after a good two week search for a decent, compassionate vet. The previous “vets” we did see only offered euthanasia as a solution?! Um…I don’t think so. Luckily, we came across the Cat Clinic with wonderful Dr. Weber. He is currently helping us with symptomatic supportive care for JJ. We have him on diuretics and antibiotics as of right now. However, the closer we come to finding an accurate diagnosis the more things look not-so-good. All signs seem to be pointing to FIP. Hopefully things will take a turn for the good in the coming weeks. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who’s been concerned and everything.

I think I just fell into the stereotype of women with weblogs that only write about their cats?

Aside from that, I think I’ve been missing out on a few changes on here. Craig gave Compulsive.org a nice facelift. Benny is turning into a bit of a star with his MakeBenDrink.com venture. Getting booked for parties and all! And well, is there really anything else worth reading these days? Yeah! Angry White Girl always puts me in the best of moods.

I just wanted to add a little update about what’s been going on over here in Florida. I think I shall go catch up on some current events and what not and perhaps dish out a few more posts to make up for my disappearance.

Update:We just talked to the vet and JJ’s fluid analysis came back negative for FIP. Now we have to get blood work and x-rays done to further narrow things down. I’m just glad that it’s not FIP like all those bastard vets kept telling me when I said he didn’t! So there! You jackholes!

PS - If you live in Tampa, FL…never take your pets to Hillsborough Animal Hospital and VetCare. EVER.
