Lemmit is your family now 🎂
I would have lured her out with food but she was entrenched and hasn’t been big on wet food (and only mildly enthusiastic with treats)
That deep inaccessible cubby may have to be removed when she’s in hiding mode. (The more open ones can remain.)
It was bad though. Maybe it would have been (slightly) better if I had pulled her out?
She had her back to the tiny entrance I was coming in through (and blocking) so was literally cornered and trapped. My fingers and the medicine syringe were probably going near her eyes because I had to do it by touch. She was freaking out.
I’ve patted her and apologised, explained how I had waited a while to try and avoid it but the longer she went without the worse she would have felt… but I knew it was traumatic and I’d try to avoid doing that again. She seems to have settled.
I don’t think cuddles are on the cards now… she didn’t come out so I ended up having to stick my arms into her cardboard box cubby and give her both medicines by feel. Spilled part of it and made her extremely unhappy.
Meds are late but the girl is hiding in one of her cubbies… she needs it soon but I don’t want to invade her safe place (or drag her out). I prepped the syringes ready to go and will wait a little bit to see if she emerges.
I think today is just going to be video games and cuddles.
It’s still possible to get around that style of lock.
Ughh. Fingers crossed you leave these clowns and soar.
White and black here, she’s got me covered 🤍🖤
Yeah the Dove is good on my hair, too mild on my body and drying on my face.
I don’t know the logic… there are fish and chicken flavours but perhaps some animals like banana??
Edit: apparently a lot of animal meds were made for humans and given in different doses
I’ve decided to go another course of antibiotics while we sort the cat specialist, so I get to wrestle Melbcat and feed her gross banana flavoured liquid for another 10 days! 🍌 Some keeps ending up on her fur so I think I will be buying a bib.
The specialist I saw seemed ok, not sure if he’ll be able to help but was at least respectful and willing to listen.
The lightly scented home brand soap I bought is a bit drying on my hands but otherwise hasn’t caused immediate issues? That’s not to say it won’t. But if it works out I have a backup soap for any supply shortages of the unscented bars.
If it doesn’t I guess it gets donated to the food pantry minus that bar or turned into laundry soap.
I’m so frustrated about my health and living situation. I was never hugely sporty but did like to be somewhat active like walking and tai chi and would love the energy/chance to garden. I’d love to be exercising and prepping good meals.
Even just getting away from the toxic elements of where I live would be amazing.
