- Elliott's new nickname is "Enema Kitty".
-
- The vet said that the reason he wasn't eating was that he
- was packed solid with impacted hairballs. The vet said that
- the reason he had hairballs was that he was overgrooming,
- probably because he's allergic to something.
-
- Then the vet gave Elliot an enema.
-
- Elliot was too putrescent to let into the house. So we
- bathed him. I had no Dr Bronner's, so I used Lance's shampoo
- instead.
-
- We have to pill him every day. The pills are bright red, but
- otherwise look & feel just like Vitamin E capsules. Apparently
- they are expensive vaseline in gelatin caps. Elliot likes to
- see how long he can hold them in his mouth before spitting them
- out.
-
- Ratfink caught & dismembered two black squirrels. He was going
- to bring the headless one into the house, but we shut the door
- in time.
-
- Tab eats the algae wafers I bought to feed my catfish. "That
- isn't food," Lance tells him. "That's what food *eats*." But
- Tab eats them anyway.
