"Why is no one making any seeeense?!"

That's my current mental state. Imagine me looking very ernest, confused, and distressed while shaking both fists in the air and saying that.

A ridiculously high number of (non-work, thankfully) conversations today have gone very strange, very quickly. Pretty much all got redirected back on track or defused, as necessary, but I think I spent more energy on interpersonal interactions today than I normally do in a month. Rather makes me want to avoid all (I do mean literally all) conversations for the next couple of weeks in the hopes that people start making sense again (or, alternatively, that _I_ start making sense again).


My cat may have decided that pills crushed and mixed with his wet food isn't tolerable (at least based on ayalanya's attempts earlier today), which is really _frustrating_. If he won't cooperate, how the _hell_ am I going to leave his care to someone else while I travel? I hope it was some fluke, and not that I have to try yet another method already.

I note that I kept wanting to rant today. Considering how rarely I rant, this made for a very strange day. (rant about white on light grey being evil to look at, rant about my cat, rant rant rant!)


Why the hell can't I sleep? Melatonin, why do you hate me?

IME, cats often will take a pill a certain way, and then stop :) So leaving a list of things to try for someone would probably be helpful! You might try sticking the pill in a dollop of wet food *without* crushing -- sometimes they'll just suck it down! Or inside people food?

Liquid meds also have helped me with various cats -- it's easier to squirt down the throat than to pill, sometimes, although it depends on the cat!

Ah... noted.

That's what ayalanya tried last night, which appeared to work. I figured - apparently inaccurately - that it'd be easier to notice when not crushed up.

People food is the next thing I try, if this stops working.

Yep. Had that thought; depending on how the next 1.5 weeks go, I may ask my vet about that option.

See? You are so clever that I am gratuitous! :)
