It's gotten a good bit cooler here, though it's still plenty warm, and there's still a heatwave in the prognosis for next week - which is, well, not the best of things if you ask me.
The Forum mails have been sent out, there are the first registrations for the Forum coming in, and I am very profoundly relieved that this is running now.
The hose have arrived at the place where they are supposed to be, so all that remains now is to send off the paper with numbers on it (which has been prepared, and is ready to go out once I've finished blogging).
I am, however, still woefully behind on some other things, and I do need to do some more post packing today and early tomorrow. Unfortunately the Little Cat is still not really better; the infection has come back even though we have seen no obvious cause of extra stress. The last meds she had made her all drowsy and lose her appetite, which is not good, so now we are trying different meds and hope these will help.
It's well possible that the heat was one of the factors, even though it wasn't a really obvious one. Whatever it was, we're now trying to give her some mussel powder that is supposed to assist with bladder issues, and lots of cuddles, and also sneaky treats to hide her pills in.
To my great dismay, the ones that worked wonderfully last time still worked... until the package was empty. Then, alas, we bought a new one, but they smelled and looked differently, and the company must have changed the recipe sufficiently that she is not interested in them at all anymore. There we were, buying the other taste variant, same outcome. Meh all over.
Now, fortunately, we have successfully tested another snacky thing that is soft enough to hide a small pill in, and apparently tasty enough to be inhaled almost whole. Phew. So now we hope the new stuff does its job, and does it well, and she will be able to tolerate the meds sufficiently, and that we can get her stabilised afterwards. She is, after all, long past the generally expected lifetime for a little cat, which in general does not increase tolerance to stuff.
