Have dashed in to check the email, check in here, then head over to drop off print projects and do some writing.
I left the cat at the vet overnight. His kidneys are failing, but he can be treated with a 2x week "dialysis" of IV liquid under the skin to keep them clearer. His howling may be dementia, in which case keeping him going just to be miserable (all of us, and him) is not an option. I've let my daughter know, and will tell my son after the weekend (he has another SAT test tomorrow). I'll bring the cat home, we'll see how he does. I won't pay tons on a really old cat to extend a life that isn't a particularly high quality one right now. January seems to be hard on cats around here. We lost the other one in the end of January last year.
I'll give this house a top to bottom vacuum and mop to clear out the cat hair. As nice as they can be, I'm done with cats for the time being.
Meetings this afternoon and evening. Writing. Arrrgghh!
