newbuzz...Friday morning we woke to find that our cat had vomitted on the bed. We found her downstairs on the dog bed in front of the heat vent. This is very unusual because she is a timid cat and usually skitters away from the dogs or any foot traffic. Though we all clunked around looking at her and wondering what was wrong, she just lay there flat out with her head down. She had to be ill to behave like that. I imagined the worst...a toy mouse lodged in her gut, a fish bone stuck in her throat, feline leukemia, diabetes, a urinary tract infection. We promptly took her to the vet and she was a little dehydrated. After $200.00 worth of tests, we found out what was wrong with her: nothing. She's home, she's fine. She is sitting on the dog bed, unblinking. We thought her strange behavior indicated a serious illness, but it turns out she just finally found her voice. After six years of bashful manipulation, she is now exerting her full feline force of will. Look out dogs!
