A New Routine...

 This was Lukas's second day as the almost full time inhabitant of our only bathroom. Things are improving, however. I was so concerned that I called a friend who is a retired vet to ask and she said that every cat responds differently to an enema and that it can be as long as forty-eight hours before things normalize and the cat can once again have the run of the house and that I should let his vet know. on Monday. For his part, Lukas is cooperative and has even allowed me the honor of sitting on my lap, a first in our time together. He purred and licked my hand, obviously glad of company.

I caught him sleeping curled up in the clean litter box and fashioned him a makeshift bed from a cardboard box, towels and his most loved blanket into which I left two favored catnip toys. To my delight and I hope his comfort, he is using it, Though he doesn't care to have his nether regions inspected and wiped, he wiggles a bit but offers no meows of offense. So far, the bathroom hasn't required another mop and he was calm when placed in his carrier while I used and cleaned the bathroom early afternoon. He has taken all meds without a fuss and left me to sporadic sleep.

I am hoping for an easier week and more rest and wish you all the same. Thanks for your kind words of support.
