Poor Clifford, my cat, has been throwing up and not eating solid food. The vet says she thinks it’s a hairball and I have to give him TABLESPOONS of yucky hairball medicine. How I am to accomplish this, I do not know. First, I have to find a place to get this stuff.
Good morning everyone. I have nothing to say today, just thought I’d pass that along. But my boss continues to not be here, which is a good thing as always. ๐
Hopefully the medicine will come with a syringe to squirt it into his mouth & then quick hold it shut so that he doesn’t spit it all over you. :yuck: That’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get liquid into cats :tongue:
I hope it’s just hairball & that it will puke itself out soon! :omg:
Thanks, for the sympathy, RG. I’m cautiously hopeful that a hairball is what it is. He looks OK and isn’t too draggy. But, clearly his belly is upset. :cat:

We are living through a period that is profoundly marked by sadness. Not just the sadness of tears, but also, and above all, the sadness of impotence.
The men and women of our time are living in the certainty that life’s complexity is such that the only thing we can do, at the risk of making it worse, is to submit to the discipline of economics, self-interest and egoism. The social and individual sadness wears us down and convinces us that we no longer have the means of living a true life, and so we submit to the order and discipline of survival.
The tyrant needs the sadness, because in that way each one of us is isolated in his own small, virtual and disturbing world. But, at the same time, men need the tyrant, in order to justify their sadness.
We believe that the first step to be taken against sadness (the manner in which capitalism is present in our lives) is the creation of concrete ties of solidarity. Breaking the isolation, creating solidarity, is the beginning of a commitment, of an activism that no longer operates “against,” but rather “for” life, happiness, through the liberation of potency.

Sunny Jim’s comment about maxi ack on the hairball kind of made me think that all the doggie poo poo was much worse than anything the kitties ever hacked up. Unfortunately none of that is compostable — too bad — they sure produce plenty of it!!. :barf:
Prepare a sunny, well-drained site near the dog area for a compost bin. Add sawdust to the dog waste, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Gradually add small amounts of water until the compost mixture is as moist as a wrung out sponge. (50-60%)
Continue adding ingredients until the compost is 2-3 feet deep. Place the cover over the compost mixture and let the temperature rise. Once a bin is full, do not continue adding fresh materials.
Insert the compost thermometer daily and record an average internal temperature. When it starts to decline, in about two weeks, it is time to turn the compost.
Turn the whole compost pile, turning the outside to the inside in order to provide more complete composting. Repeat the turning process regularly until it is a crumbly, black, dirt-like mixture. Cooking time varies, usually from 4-8 weeks. If desired, the compost can be cured prior to land application.
:rant1: Great. My mortgage company claims it never got the property tax bill I mailed over a month ago and now the tax bill is late. Thank goodness I close on a refi next month.
I thought Doggie Poo passable for NON-edible things. Sorry, I grew organic food in mountains, with some mountain folk all throughout the mountain … both in organic books and there were some, older and wiser, than me and it was known that ..

Warning- potential O’Bama connection
Having a hearty appetite, eating potassium-rich foods including bananas, and not skipping breakfast all seemed to raise the odds of having a boy.
The British research is billed as the first in humans to show a link between a woman’s diet and whether she has a boy or girl.
