This morning as Charlie was using the litter pan, I was close by. Before he could cover the evidence, I scooped it up and that’s when I noticed a small screw that he had passed. The screw is tiny, possibly a computer screw. I am hoping this was the source of the problem for him. He is on antibiotics again regardless and this morning he is perkier, eating and drinking just fine and so I let him out of confinement. He kept climbing the wire, and I was afraid he would fall on his head.

Now, he is running around the house like a hurricane. In doing research on Blastomycoses, it normally hits dogs not cats. But it is not common up here in the PNW. We need to get the mold removed regardless, but suspect we might get better prices if we wait till after the holidays.

The sun has returned and it is a welcome sight. I am not sure how long this burst of warmer weather is going to last, probably not very long. But one can hope..
