It's been way too long . My Weblog has almost become a ghost. I feel a
bit empty when my tapping fingers are not stringing all those letters
into words out in cyberspace. I have had a very rough week. My beloved
Kitty Zayna is very ill. I came home last Saturday in the early
afternoon and had to take her to the Vet. The blood tests confirm that
she has kidney disease. The Vet said it's hard to tell how long a cat
with that condition will last. She could live another two years-----or maybe only two months.

The most difficult part is trying to get her to down three or four different medications. I also have to 'administer' fluids to her subcutaneously. My apartment has become a long term care facility for cats. Luigi holds up the saline solution bag with the long tube and the most incredible long , thick needle you've ever seen. Then yours truly must inject that god-awful needle into her Cat. Ironically Zayna is very calm during this process and I was told by the Vet , as it is given just underneath the skin, that cats really do not feel any pain. But she certainly goes into Rodeo manuvers and Bronco bucking escape modes when I try to get those pills and medicines in her mouth.
