    So glad to hear she is home and doing well. :)

    Excellent. Meow Meow's yellow adventures. Love those happy endings.

    OK...so that nice calm kitty I brought home last night, turned into a mean spitting, clawing, biting WWE wrestling champion! Everything has been a fight. She started out OK, yowling for food...so I tried her regular food, some samples of other cat food, her regular treats, some new treats, AND a can of tuna - and she turned her nose up at everything. So with effort I shoved a couple of pills down her gullet, followed by many syringes of pasty food. It ended up everywhere!

    Then she threw it all up this AM after I got up 5:30 to give her the damn pill she needs one hour before she eats, plus the appetite stimulant. Well, I wasn't going to rooting around in a pile of liquid cat food for the two pills, so I had to give her others. Gross. The next fight was keeping the dogs away from the cat puke!

    So around 6:45am, she decided that she was hungry after all and started to pick at the solid kibbles in her bowl. This was a good sign, but then she just crowched there with her face in the food, and then in the water. She wasn't drinking any water, just putting her face in it...

    Monty Pyton sketch comes to life at my house!

    "She wouldn't keep still, wriggling about an 'owling!"

    Out came the syringe and another 1/2 can of high calorie cat food, and out came her really really really really sharp claws. Did I say they were sharp? I was stunned at what a contorsionist she can be! So, had to get hubby to help me. I held Meow-Meow and her front legs, while hubby did the force feeding. But wouldn't you know it - her back claws are even sharper!! I ended up covered in this horrible smelling food, but we managed to get 1/2 a can into her. So that's a start.

    I'm thinking of suggesting to my mom to just take her to our friend the vet and leave her at his clinic for the week we're away and have them feed her, just so she won't hate us...

    And yes...she's still yellow. A patch of her fur was shaved off, and her skin was also a vibrant yellow...like a phonebook...

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The committee wouldn't let me name ours "Mr. Bigglesworth" (could be cause it's a she)...but it's eventual nickname, 'Schmuttie', seems to be perfectly acceptable.

    No pain no gain on this one MMK! Those back claws can eviscerate....I still have a couple scars from my first cat.

    Oh my gosh! This cat is....I don't know...she's been possessed or something! She still won't eat much of anything (except I bought some Wiskas dry food that looks like a big pouch of their treats so she's rather into that), so we still have to force feed her. We wrap her in a towel now, but she bites and her teeth are so sharp! She also likes to push her pills into her cheek and then spit them out - like, literally, spit them...

    So, when she wants something, like up on the counter to eat treats, or wants to be on the bed, or would like some fresh water, she just yowls and yowls until she gets her way.

    The yellow is slowly fading...and obviously she's feisty...so I'm not so worried now. But holy crap! Where's my cute and happy cat?

    Today when we force fed, she was relatively calm and just growled a whole bunch. I can't believe that my mom is willing to take this on why we're away...Obviously I will owe her big time!

    I can totally picture all that in my head. Poor thing. Let's hope she remembers all this next time she decides to stop eating!
