Well... happy anniversary to me and SK for tomorrow. It's a technical anniversary of our official engagement announcement to my side of the family.
And it's not really a day I care to remember. The party was a flop due to some certain people not fucking showing up (ie, my father and a few close friends).
Oh and K, you're excluded from that as is Clancy - who fell down a flight of stairs and hurt her back.
To be honest, I don't know which day to celebrate. I like to remember the days but to actually celebrate them... I dunno. Not worth it.
I will make a big effort though, to do something on New Years Eve. That's when SK proposed to me. The beginning of the year 2000. That was the special night. Four years we've been a couple. Yay.
But I dunno. I get confused about the whole deal.
And I think I'm going to be subdued with everything for a while.
One of the kittens is ill. Bindi. I dunno what it is. I don't know if she's in pain or if she's just doing it to get a cuddle or if she's completely mental.
I thought she might be having problems with her guts - colic or something. Because she lies on the floor and flips and rolls all over the place and makes these weird very-un-cute noises. She puts up no resistance to Dugite at all who takes delight in getting Bindi into a headlock and then starts a grooming/biting session (grooms when Bindi is still, bites and plays when she tries to move). She just continues to make those noises. I'm thinking, if it's colic, then the rolling and flipping is bad because she'll twist her guts and that can kill her. I've seen it happen with dogs. So I pick her up and hold her still. She tries to do it for a little while and then settles down and purrs her little heart out.
I'm scared she might be epileptic. I've had a cat like that before, she didn't last beyond a few days once we found out. She started having fits almost every hour at the vets. Scruffy's were terrible though. She vomited and convulsed.
The odd thing is that Bindi doesn't do this all the time. She's naturally a noisey cat, so we ignored it for the most part, until I saw her flipping for about ten minutes straight one morning about two weeks ago. Now it's getting to be more regular
I think I might buy some bottled water and let them drink that, our water has gone bad again and I'm wondering if that's what's making Bindi not feel good.
I just... don't know.
I've only had the cats three months and I tear up at the thought of losing one already. They are regular little pains, but so sweet.
I fucking HATE not knowing how to fix their problems.
