I made a Johari window, too. I mean, really, what could be more LJ than a thing where you use other people's thoughts to learn about yourself? Love. It.

poor kitty
Feb. 11th, 2006 08:17 pmThursday morning I woke up with my older (she's 9, and has living inside forever, so she's 'older' and not remotely 'elderly') curled up tight against my ass, which isn't normal for her. When we got up, she was limping and acting all hissy & hide-in-a-closet injured. But there wasn't anything visible wrong with her leg.
So, I got her tucked into the bed with food & water, and set up a vet appointment for that afternoon.
Went to vet, saw nothing wrong, vet says watch her over the weekend, and she got a chance to bite and scratch some new people. She was quite cuddly but stuck to the bed all night, much of the same yesterday. Today, when I got her up to try to get her to use the bathroom [Cat food on my bed? maybe. Cat litter? Like hell.], she seemed to be able to stand okay, but she's been really really pissed off all day and won't get off the bed even though she can. And she hasn't, as far as I know, peed or shat in 3 days, unless she's sneaking off to the litter box when I'm not here.
Not using the bathroom in 3 days seems like a pretty big deal, doesn't it? So I'm guessing we'll go back to the vet for more scratching and biting on Tuesday when I get paid & can afford to have her sedated and x-rayed, but the thing is... I think she's not all that hurt. I just don't know what else to do with her.
Anyone else had such cat issues? One of my work peeps suggested she may be severely constipated or something, as that causes limping and would be consistent with the whole non-peeing thing.
