Oh, goodie. My kitty has heart disease, apparently bad enough that he gets to be medicated daily, plus a baby aspirin every three days (yay for blood thinners!). He is probably able to safely get anesthesia now (although not as safely as if his heart were fine!), but as this is likely to continue to get worse, anything he needs done needs to be done sooner rather than later.

I get to go back in two weeks-ish to verify that the pills are doing what they are supposed to be doing.

*sigh*

I really would like a different day.

Need to remember to purchase baby aspirin tomorrow.

I really hope that I can convince/teach (it's not terribly difficult, as I learned tonight) potential cat sitters to pill my cat every day, or I'm not going to be traveling.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I know you'll be able to rise to the occasion. and sometimes, cats know "this is good for me" and are less resistant to agreeing to take medication or uncomfortable therapy.
I agree wholeheartedly with the earlier petting comment.

Well, on the plus side, my cat is one who tends to be very, very patient with what he thinks of as humans being strange again. So I'm not concerned about him fighting being pilled or anything.

*smile* Indeed. He's good about requesting petting, too. :)
