That’s my fantastically fat cat Seven. She enjoys lounging in the sun, airing out her bits and licking herself.
\
\
I had to take her to the vet today because she’s been regurgitating her food and peeing outside of the litter box lately. And in case anybody is curious, I learned the difference between regurgitating and vomiting while there. I’m just saying…
\
\
My deliciously plump kitty was pretty nervous while the vet examined her, but she did pretty well. She even rolled over a few times for a tummy rub. That happy attitude quickly turned into hate when they took her back for an x-ray and urinalysis. Lucky kitty!
\
\
Looking at her x-rays were pretty cool! Before pointing out that she seems to be missing 2/3 of her liver, she showed me her large intestine. It seems that Seven hasn’t used the litter box for toosies in almost a week. That’s right, my sweet snuggly Seven is constipated. Though I feel bad for her because she’s obviously uncomfortable, I couldn’t help but giggle a little bit. Tee hee. I was told to buy a laxative. For Seven. A cat. How could I not giggle about this?
\
\
The fact that she has hard stool filling up her large intestine could be adding some discomfort onto her bladder. So naturally, she goes wherever the hell she feels like going, right? I don’t know. I won’t have the results back from her urinalysis until tomorrow. Hopefully it’s not a bladder infection because I don’t think she’ll like cranberry juice.
\
\
All joking aside, this is no laughing matter. Because I have two cats and one needs to eat special food and be on meds, I have to separate the two. Also, how will I know if she’s using the litter box? Well I won’t unless I put her in a room for 2-3 hours while she eats and hopefully, poops. That’s right, this weekend I am on litter box duty (duty…get it? Bad pun). Le sigh…
\
\
Hopefully the metamucil will help her and the other two meds will keep the discomfort levels on the low side. She’s currently sprawled out on her bed by the heat vent looking all fat and cute. Just in case you were wondering.

The things we go through for these kids of ours! Wouldn’t have it any other way. Hope things loosen up for Seven over the weekend. Good luck!
