Yes, a sad bit of news. For probably about a week (maybe more, it’s hard to tell) Stripey has been coughing up greenish stuff. Since he’s always been one to chew on odd things and throw stuff up, we didn’t think much of it. But tonight we all noticed how much weight he has lost. Apparently whatever is his illness, he hasn’t been eating.
I did a quick web search of some feline diseases that could have these symptoms, and it ranges from fairly benign to “your cat won’t make it” severity. I hope it’s the former and not the latter…
I called up the veterinarian’s number tonight and discovered that they just arrived in town and will be here for 4-6 weeks. So even thought the news is bad, at least things are not all bad. Our only other choice would have been to send Stripey off to Juneau.
