Lady and Floyd boarded at Dr. Val’s last weekend.  Lady’s stay did not start well.  She’s always grumpy after traveling, and she expressed strong resentment for being put in the cage from her carrier after a three hour drive.  She attacked the vet tech who was setting up her cage with litter pan, food, and water. I tried having her and Floyd share the four area space, but she was having none of it, and Floyd was quite intimidated (Neil later separated them).  When I walked in to pick them up Monday morning, Lady’s cage had a sizable sign reading, “Don’t Pet. I bite.”  Sigh. She hissed at me when I picked her up to put her in her carrier to bring her home.  Once we got home, she was a different cat, cuddling and lounging all day.

I asked them to test a urine sample from Floyd to see if he has another urinary tract infection, but they couldn’t get a sample from him.

Everyone else in the house is doing well.

Outside, we’re not sure.  We haven’t seen Sneaky since Tuesday afternoon.  She seemed fine then, but over the last few weeks, she’s been increasingly stand-offish, less interested in interacting with us.  She used to always come up when I called under the house for her, and she’s not done that in several weeks, leading me to believe she may be spending time elsewhere.  The likely candidate is the house behind us, which is vacant and for sale* — lots of privacy over there right now.

We have seen Walter, so we know he’s fine. We still can’t get anywhere near him. That’s probably just the way he’s going to be.
