3yo Male DSH is ailing this morning. First I couldn't find him but he
seems a bit deaf and doesn't always show up right away if he's off
sleeping somewhere other than the bedroom. Maybe he's just a very
heavy sleeper but sneaking up on him when he's sleeping does not take
much skill.

He showed up a few minutes later though, after I found an odd puddle
of water on the floor. I looked up to see if a leak had somehow
develped in the ceiling but nope. He's drooling and didn't eat but did
drink a lot of water. It isn't totally unusual for him to look at the
food and walk away but he never does that to his treats. I'm waiting
for the vet to open and off we go. He seems pretty ok but is
definitely somewhat off his normal routine. The first thing I do when
a cat is sick is to close the basement door to limit the space I have
to look if they decide to hide but he's just sitting on a speaker a
few feet away from me.

Could be some tooth issue or something he ate or just a cold although
he isn't sneezing or anything. Oh well, 20 minutes more to wait and
off we go. This will be the first time that I'm late for the new job
but stuff happens.
