I thought seafood flavor would be better than the “chicken marshmallow” they gave him last time. He’s letting me know how entirely wrong I was in that choice.

To be fair, it smells awful. I’d probably make the same face.

Ugh cat medicine is the worst

I adopted shock and awe tactics to minimize trauma to our cat. She hates meds, but if you get really fast you can pill her or give her one of those liquid syringes before she even gets mad.

The last time I had to do this for an extended period, he’d start gagging when I got home from work. I wasn’t even on him yet, but he starts associating antibiotic time with me. I feel bad. I just wanna be the chill dude who pets him.

I just wonder if this is the elder or younger

[–] iamanurd@midwest.social 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Started as younger. Quickly approaching elder.

Keep him away from active volcanoes, though.

How’s his poop? When we fed our late great boi (19) antibiotics, his shit smelled like horror incarnate

[–] iamanurd@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

lol, even in best of times it’s not great. It’s the slobber that gets me though. He’s running around slobbering on everything for like 20 minutes after antibiotic time, twice a day. Like 25 days left….

Our cat has a chronic sinus issue so she goes through phases of snotting and sneezing on everything

I don’t know how one cat can get so much snot around the house, it’s kind of impressive.

The worst part is she likes being really close to your face and sometimes she wakes you up by sneezing on your face. Ugh.

[–] iamanurd@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago

Pliny is the same way on face. He doesn’t sneeze, but he has very tickly whiskers.

Haha, that’s just the start. It keeps going. Everything is slimed. Send help!
