Poor Callie

Our poor kitty went to the vet today. She is an outdoor kitty so we were a bit worried about her running away with the move. We planned to visit Leon for the night in his hotel room. So Callie boarded at the vets while we were gone.

She also needed to get all of her vaccines. Well, the vet called very concerned for Callie's health. She's gotten so skinny and the vet didn't want to give her the shots. She would not metabolize them well. She is a bit concerned that Callie may be in renal failure. She also thinks Callie is much older than we originally thought. She came to us as an adult and we never really knew how old she was. But she has been our kitty for over 5 years and we've grown rather attached to her.

It is just really bad timing. So many sudden changes for our family. The kids were taking the news pretty hard. I just can't seen spending the kind of money it would require to treat our poor kitty if she is does have a kidney disease.

We decided to bring her home and see if we couldn't fatten her up a bit. We'll give her a few weeks. If she hasn't gained any weight, then we may have to put her down.

She's still a very silly cat. And is not behaving like she is sick at all.

She did pout for after her dr visit and ran off for a few days. But she is back now and seems pretty adjusted from the move.
