My cat is sick. I think. She’s very very cuddley and her eyes are watery. That means she’s got a cold right?
What do I do? Anyone?
IN other less important news, nothing new is going on in my life. I got spoiled at christmas, and I’m procrastinating on my WIP. This weekend will be a cram weekend for me to get it down and on my editors desk on Tuesday when he gets back from his holidays. 🙂
One of the gifts I got for christmas was a scanner/copier, and when I have time I’ll hook it up and have some fun. I can finally share a bunch of picutures with you all of magazine pictures and stuff that inspire me.
Oh! And I did try to clean and rearange my office on Boxing Day, adn I found some really old files and papers. I plan to share them with you too. But, uhmm, right now I want to go cuddle my cat. She’s looking sorta sad.
Give you kitty lots of hugs and cuddling; pets are precious. Waiting for some pictures once you get the scanner hooked up.
Keep her cuddly and warm and make sure she eats and drinks. Just like if you had a cold…
Also, if you have a diffuser (not sure if you’re into natural healings) you can diffuse peppermint oil in the air. It works!
When I or my daughter get sick, I use peppermint oil and try not to use over the counter drugs. When I use the oil the cold/flu lasts maybe a day, two at the most…
Poor Kittie 🙁 Give her a fuss from me. I hope she picks up soon.
Okay – is her nose runny too? Is she sneezing? There is something called Cat Flu and in adult cats is will usually clear up on its own in a week to ten days. Keep her eating, don’t worry unless the secretions get thick and are discolored. On the flip side, it could be just an irritation – a simple washing with warm water of a mild salt solution (a pinch of salt to a cup of water) should clear it up. With as many cats as I have I’ve run into my fair share of problems. Keep cuddling her – that always helps us feel better and cats are no different.
She sneezed a few times yesterday but not yet today…and today she’s eating, and her eyes aren’t runny. So maybe it was 24 hour thing. 🙂
I’m going to keep close eye onher though. Thanks Eve!
Sorry to hear about your kitty.
Glad she’s doing better. If something like this happens again, just email me and ask – I have loads of books about cat care.
That’s the same thing I got for Christmas . Only thing is it runs the ink cartridges are small so get extras if you are planning to print.
Use Warm weak tea & wipe her eye with it using a cotton ball.(Old wise tale)I have used it on my animals & it works.If not better in a day or two i would take her to your Vet.
