So, today my cat Hudson got to come home from the vet. He had a blocked bladder. I love my vet, she cleared some space to get him in quickly and I'm glad. Had to drive him to the vet in lovely blinding snow turning to slush. Of course they all remember me from my trouble with kitten Marz (who passed away about this time last year).

Now, he's got his catheter in, and his e-collar on and he's not happy. Can't blame him, both items look incredibly uncomfortable. I let him have some time without the collar under strict supervision and he gave himself a halfway decent bath and drank a bit. I put it back on after he started getting a bit too attentive when cleaning around the catheter. All in all he's been great. Now my second most expensive kitty I'm glad I caught everything in time. Pictures of poor Hudson in his e-collar coming later when I believe he won't be in such a mood to kill me.
