Cat massages and vets
15 years ago
I decided to sleep in this morning (or at least attempt to) after working over 12 hours yesterday. I was kinda half laying on my stomach, when Felix climbed up on the bed to sleep over my blankets, like he usually does. But I noticed that instead of just flopping his fat ass on top of me, he was walking over my back, and stopping every so often with all four paws gathered in one spot, so all of his weight was focused on that one area. And he was actually doing this where I had a lot of knotted muscles and tension, like my lower back and shoulder blades.
And you know what? It actually worked. The muscles actually relaxed a bit. I still have back pain and tension, but not nearly as bad as before. I don't know why Felix did that, though. Maybe he knew I had a rough day at work the day before, and wanted to help me. Maybe it's some psychic thing cats have with their owners...
...Or maybe he just wanted attention, and he couldn't sit on my throat like he usually does. ¬_¬ Either way, he accomplished something.
Speaking of Felix, I went to the vet today to get more of his special urinary diet food. They told me that his prescription expired, and while they're letting me buy this bag of food, they won't be able to sell me more until I take Felix in for a checkup. He just needs a regular, standard checkup, nothing big, to make sure everything's working properly. I just find it odd that Felix has been on this food for four years, and this is the first time I've heard of the prescription expiring.
But these things cost money. The vet I get the food from can give him a checkup for $60, but that's an actual animal hospital. I'll have to call around to some vet clinics to see if they can do it cheaper. I prolly have until the end of this month or the beginning of next month until this bag of food runs out, depending on how much the two of them eat. I'd rather get it done sooner rather than at the last minute, though, so I don't have to freak out and run around to get the cats fed. Kinzer can eat other food, and I do give him other food in the morning and evening because of his high metabolism, but Felix requires this food.
And if my mother keeps telling me to get rid of him for being "too expensive", I might have to scream. Cats = kids to me, and I don't see her giving up my sister for being "too expensive" for her.
