Bobcat's Kidney Diary: Day 3
Nov 14, '08 | 1785 Views | (0) Comments
I've been fretting about aspects of Bob's behavior that I hadn't paid much attention to before now, but are important to keeping track of his condition. Why can't I get him to eat his canned food? Is he drinking more water than he should? Does he make more trips to the litterbox than before? After an afternoon of this, I resorted to doing some neglected chores to distract myself.
I recognized pretty quickly that worrying wasn't productive, so I'm trying to stick to the facts of what I can observe about Bob, rather than inventing trouble. He does still look and act healthy. He still eats his new dry food. He did eat a bit of his canned food with hubby's coaxing (hubby is the one who gives him treats like canned tuna).
As I write this, Bob is curled up on my lap, purring. Learning that I may have less time with him has also impelled me to treasure his affections when he chooses to give them, regardless of whether I'm trying to do something else at the time.
