Getting the hang of medicating
11/17/12: Getting the hang of medicating. The big guy on the end, Teddy, is a scared mush. I am settling in with a routine: gloves go on. Water dish comes out, litter pan comes out and is cleaned. Cats come out one by one and sit in a pan wrapped in little towels. They are bravely taking their medicine. get a dab on the nose, anti-fungal massaged in, placed in triage: the carrier. Beds come out and towel liners are washed. Newspaper liner comes out, cage tray is swept and disinfected. Newspaper liner is replaced: they like The New York Times, beds put back with new bedding. Room is gone over with disinfecting wipes and then vacuumed with Miele-has HEPA filter. Fresh water goes in, kitties go in, food goes in…kitties eat like piglets. Food dishes come out, litter box goes in. Kitties go in for a nap. I need one too-but now I have to eat breakfast, fumigate myself and wash my clothes. By now my hands which are in latex gloves are dripping. A job well done..
11/16/2012: There are 4 kittens going bonkers next to me…I have the cage covered for the night with a towel. They climb to the top of the cage and hang–their nails make them like thumbtacks. I might get up in the morning and find 4 swinging kitties.
They’re so cute!
Funny!
LOL!
