Hi I am new to this forum, and having a problem with me kitty. Last weekend

The quibble: he doesn't always clean himself after using the litter

It's now 2:10 am. Believe it or not I think there is something on the
roof and I hear some jingling. Could it be....?

Here it is, about 1 am eastern time, Chistmas morning. If Sparky makes
it to daylight I'll be surprised.
After having his kidneys flushed at the vet Monday and Tuesday, he
seemed in about the same shape as when I took him in. Quiet, but alert.

I have a Siamese kitten (6 months), who now can jump up on my dresser and
dining table.   My problem is this:  at night, when I'm ready to go to
sleep, he wakes up (from having slept through most of the the day), goes and
does some stuff, then jumps up on my dresser.   I wouldn't ...

tested and vaccinated for FLV.  We have kept him current on all of his
vaccinations since then.
