The new kitty who I am calling Scatter had to go to the vet today. Turns out, she has Giardia (also known as Beaver Fever). I feel for her because I got Beaver Fever the first time I visited Mike in Alaska and drank from a stream on a hike. She is on Panacur, and Metronidazole plus a special ointment for her sore rump. I didn’t put any bedding in the carrier like i normally do because she was dripping diarrhea. She very cooperatively left a decent size mess in the carrier for a fecal sample.

She is upstairs horribly upset with me because the medication tastes so nasty. I felt a bit foolish at the vet’s office giving them $10.00 toward the bill, but it is all I have at the moment. But I have peace of mind, she tested negative for the nasties and she is about a year old. I call her Scatter because she has colors scattered all over her fur. She has missing patches of fur but it wasn’t ringworm. He’s not sure what all that is about- but one thing at a time. We will address the diarrhea first-

Here is Cyclone’s project as it progresses. We had to call it a day early because of the vet visit.

AND here is the man of the hour!
