My older one, Tasha, is having some bladder infection or kidney stone trouble tonight. Repeated trips to the catbox, and a lot of complaining. Ain’t no veterinarian open on Sunday in TJ that I know of.
I soak her food regularly, so it’s not a lack of water, I don’t think.
Decades ago I took a job in a city roughly 700km away. The then Ms Immutable and I set out with our beautiful tabby Rosie in a cardboard cat box, which as postgrads was all we could afford. The vet suggested, and provided, a sedative which we duly administered in the hope that it would keep her calm. Wrong.
Despite looking clearly stoned out of her gourd, she fought the box until she’d torn one of the air holes into a cat-size hole and escaped, spending the rest of the trip under the driver’s seat. She did that in the first 40km.
Cardboard is no match for the mighty power of the feline claw.
When I was 5, my father’s boss found a feral kitten, near where the rest of the kittens were…no longer. So, the boss brought the kitten to the warehouse, and my father brought it home, because both Mom and I wanted a cat.
The thing was, he rode his bicycle to work, because it was only a few miles and we had very little money. So, he brought the kitten home, on a bicycle, in a paper bag. There are So. Many. Ways. that could have gone wrong.
It took her years to forgive him, but by the last 5 years of her life, he was her favorite person.
EDIT: Here’s a photo of Miss Kitty, at about 20 years old. She lived to 21.
You are right, as usual. I was thinking that this sentence could be misleading, because the capital of Rio Grande do Norte is called Natal. I think I will rewrite it.
Trivia:
Natal was called “springboard to victory” because in 1942 the american troops built a huge military base to support the operations in South Atlantic during the WWII.
