I heart my a/c

This is not a photo of a post with a wire running down it. It's a photo of a thermometer (not that it is in the shade) and a cat. Biggie has come in once or twice today. But mostly he's been hanging out there in his tree or like this, on the floor.

It's way too hot for me but, apparently, not him! He is not eating much today and I'm a little worried about it. He hasn't used the litter box at all. Nothing in/nothing out. But, he seems pretty alert and birds are not getting a free pass.

His vet (which is actually a chain of 3 offices) has just switched their hours and modus operendi. They are 'temporarily' not open on weekends. And they are back to a come on in and just wait your turn method. But, now they have a spreadsheet that is updated in real time with the busy-ness of each.



The downtown one is the one I like the best and, apparently, I'm not the only one. And this is the least busy they have been all day. But this is a Monday after they were closed for Saturday and Sunday. They close at 6 and it's now 5:40. I don't think he needs to go in but I thought I'd keep an eye out today - the first day of their new plan - to see what it would be like if I did need to take him in. Interesting.

That's great that they have that spreadsheet.
I hope Biggie is okay.

If you have a clean syringe of any kind I really recommend gently dribble sips of water into his mouth. He is in a hot environment and not peeing — he needs liquid.

Blah! I would hate that system! Who wants to be in a vet's office for 2 hours with a cat meowing constantly at the top of their lungs?
