The FORTRESS of SOLITUDE

So I was just cookin' up a turkey burger for myself and I got a call on my mobile, which unfortunately, is a rare and special event... *sniff*

...anyway, anyway, anyway.

It was the vet - the female one who tells me her name everytime she calls but I never catch it and become too self/Orko absorbed to care until I hang up and realize what a great job she's doing.

Good news, everyone!

Orko has a cold. Yep - the vet seems to think he picked it up while he's been there and he's just at the first stages of it. Fortunately, a cold in a cat or kitten is relatively common and worry-free. Seriously, though - the good news is - he's supplement eating! "Huh?" you say? "Yes!" I say.

It would appear that the little tyke is on SOLID FOOD. I think supplement feeding doesn't mean full on kitten food, but when I asked the vet if he was eating solids, she said, "Yep! He's supplement eating." Also, he has been seen eating on his own, also, which is a huge deal and something he never did when I first brought him home.

The really, really good news is that they said I could go visit him on Monday (although I probably won't because I'm out of town) but he is well on the way to coming home! :) The vet said she would send him home if he keeps his food down even if he has a cold.

Sweet. Ass. Sweet!
