They didn't lose all that weight in just a few days did they???? That would
be alarming to me. I hope that is since their last vet visit.

[[Also remember how I mentioned that MIschief went ballistic when they
tried to bathe her, there's a note in her file that reads...

"Pet got very upset in the tub.  Got wet but unable to bathe.  Will not
bathe in the future unless under sedation."

I started laughing.  Man, of all the fractious cats I've seen at the
clinic, I never expected one of my to qualify.  Apparently she's pretty
good, as long as she's not in the tub.  So when I get the money to pay
for Mischief to have her teeth cleaned, I'm going to bathe her while
she's under anesthesia. hehehehe]]

LOL! I can't say I blame her, though. If some stranger at least 10 times
my size tried to put me in a sink full of water, I'd get a bit fractious
with them myself. ;o)

My friend's cat, who's a little old man of 15 years now, has a note on his
vet's file, too. Apparently he took umbrage when they tried to pill him
(he's on thyroid meds), and I don't think he much appreciated the
thermometer-in-the-nether-end treatment, either. Again, I think I'd have
pretty much the same response if some unknown giant tried to force an
unknown object into either end of my digestive tract. ;o)

Have you seen the anti-allergy cat bath wipes like these?

I got some at PetSmart when we first brought Captain and Stanley home from
the shelter, as they were a bit, ummm, cat-litter-scented from being stuck
in a small cage with a litterbox at the shelter. They're a way to wash off
a cat without actually having to immerse the kitty in water. There are
even anti-allergy versions of these items available. Something like that
might help to keep down the amount of asthma-triggers that the kitties
shed.
