Another Day in the Life of Fire

As you know, he pulled off the great Tuna Steak Heist. What you don't know is he isn't supposed to eat something like that as we need to keep his bowels soft. He plugged up big time and was bloated and sick. So, I had to do the thing I never wanted to do. I had to put the catheter up him and give him an enema.

There is nothing like a kitten screaming his lungs out even though you are using a numbing solution on the catheter to wrench your heart out. But, I did it, twice, and much to our shock and glee, he managed to move his bowels by himself with a few screams! The vet has to milk it out of his colon. He was exhausted and sore, but now he is so happy and back to his bouncy little self.

Unfortunately, tomorrow will probably require a repeat performance on my part. I have never been so exhausted in my life and had to shower because I was covered in sweat from the stress.

I have a happy Napoleon as he has had both Kefir and yogurt today. That is a good day in his world.

Now it is time for me to call it a day and get some rest. There is so much to do and now that I know I can take care of Fire, a lot of the weight is off my shoulders. Through all the pain, and he was in pain, he never once tried to bite George and barely tried to scratch us. He knows we are helping him. Sometimes the sick ones are the sweetest ones. They know you are trying to help them.
