[RC] Cat Shot -- Part II (OT yet again) - Valerie JaquesFirst off, our one shot kitty is doing relatively well. He did develop liver disease and has been on a feeding tube for two weeks, but is recovering nicely. Now I must abjectly apologize to my pigeon-raising neighbor. It appears very unlikely that he shot our kitty. It turns out that another cat in the neighborhood was killed (posted on craigslist dot com according to a client). And today, when I took the other kitty in for his routine annual physical, it turns out he has a bullet in him, too! I'm sure I remember him coming home with a wound in his side that we took for having occured as the result of a fight several months ago. Now I have to come up with yet more money to get the bullet out of this kitty, who has also developed a heart murmur! The vet feels he could do quite well with the heart disease for many years, but the bullet must come out as soon as possible. Apparently, a lot of
cats with this particular disease do well for a long time even without medication. To make this at least a little endurance related, I guess I'll be working a great deal to pay for all these vet bills, so I won't be doing a lot of endurance riding! Okay, tortured logic on making that related.....
