Jasper is in the kitty hospital. I think he has a urinary tract infection of some kind, and they can use a special litter there to catch a urine sample. I'm to call at 1pm to find out what they know.
His symptoms:
- searching for new places to piddle, including my bed
- licking "there"
- piddling often, but only a little bit each time
- ears and forehead feel warm
- not eating much
- Miss Thunderfoot is suddenly much more tolerant of him.
I hadn't realized how much we interact. He's been gone 2.5 hours, and I've been missing him for the whole time.

Poor kitteh! And welcome to the world of Hills' special diets for cats with Problems. The Hills really does help. I had a part-Siamese kitty once who was very prone to UTIs but the new food and some meds cleared it up.
ReplyDeleteI think the litter is commercially available if you need to keep track in the future.
Hope the kitty feels better soon.
