Sarah....he is quite the chunky then at that weight
hope his bloodwork comes out ok
(((((Sarah))))),,,prayin' n mixin mojo for Mr. J. poor little guy,,ah hem,,let me rephrase that ,,,poor chunkadoo
..the way I look at it havin a wee bit xtra padding is really good if something should happen usually the first thing they do is stop eating when they don't feel good.
Thanks for the basket chat Sandy, I'll have to try to find mine and post em,,,,
Charcoal grills are the only way to go in my book. I hated the gas grill and was always afraid the darn thing would blow up when I lit it. Ours is a Brinkman and 20 years old still going strong, I use those started cans with the newspaper so there's no lighter fluid taste and it's more economical.
About a year after we got it I found a brand new rotisserie at a garage sale for 5 bucks, whilst it did not fit exactly, we just sliced a "U" slot for it to fit it and it works just fine. Happy grilling and smoking !!
Me: I've been out cleaning the yard, tilling the garden beds, mowing the lawn and planting the few plants that survived along with some straight seed sowing. All I have left to plant are maters which I restarted yesterday. The rest of this week will be raining so just maybe I can get some things listed??
Mornin! Thanks so much for all the prayers & wishes. 
Mr J seems a little bit better..he`s drinking water good & ate some overnite & also a little bit this morning so far..so hopefully he is on the road to normal & his bloodwork comes back ok today.
I`ll feel better when I see a little 'gift' in his box. 
Vet just called..bloodwork is FINE!!!!!!!! Thank ya Lord!! No liver, kidney, or thyroid prob
His red blood cell count is a bit wonky..but she is sure now that enforces her thinking that it is a bacterial situation goin on from the fleas..so hopefully the anitibiotics will solve that. And they will pill him every day if we cannot do it. She said the pills are very bitter..which can present a problem getting them down.
Not looking forward to doing it..but I have pilled him a couple years ago. He spit out but I perservered. Only prob here is I have to do it twice 
..as whole pill was too much..and 1/2 pill not enuff so she had to cut 2 pills to = 3/4 of a pill.
Am gonna try & smoosh the 2 together with a tiny wrapping of cheese & hopefully I can poke em both down at once. Fortunately this is the most laid back cat ya have ever seen lol Not afraid of gettin bit or scratched, he just don`t like taking pills.
Now the main goal is to get some poo ASAP from him
So mama is happy..he is still in his hidey spot..but at least he is trying to eat a little bit
Lol I hear ya Fredi.
Mr J is not & never has been a people food cat..but vet said yesterday she didnt care what we gave him..anything to get some food in him & usually the smellier the better lol
I watched her pill him with the 'plunger' yesterday. Boy did he give her such a pathetic look afterwards (which he is quite good at) she felt sooooooooo bad lol . I think I`m gonna try & 'glue' the 2 pills together & coat with peanut butter..that should work better than the cheese..don`t think that would be gluey enough & I only wanna have to do it 1 time. Fortunately, I have done it before so I know the 'quick routine'.
Whew! 1 down..only 8 more days to go. Wrapped both pills in a tiny pc of cheese slice to hold em together.worked great..said a quick prayer & dove in 
Glad the blood work came back OK and that you got the first pills down. Congrats. Are you sure Mr J hasn't found another poo place. We had a cat that would do that when he wasn't feeling well. Was always the first sign.
Great news on Mr. J
Peach, Is there another vitamin brand that they can recommend? Or you can find?
