Re: I was so tempted to mail the cats to Tanganyika this mor
Oh, that's so funny! But I have my own story that might make you feel a wee (no pun intended... maybe) bit better.
I have a seven month old mastiff and a cat. We came home from church last Sunday and went to let the dog out of her crate. All I heard was OH, and knew it wasn't good. Hera had suffered from projectile diarrhea in her crate. It was all over the floor, the walls, the carpet. EVERYTHING. So he took her out, where she had more diarrhea, and then put her in the kitchen so he could clean the crate. Bless him. Hera then immediately threw up in the kitchen. She had two more bouts of projectile diarrhea and so we took her to the vet where $600 later she was diagnosed with giardia. So we take her home, keep in mind that she now has a huge hump from the subcutaneous fluids that she got at the vet. She's finally sleeping peacefully and we are happy that the hellish day is ended. Then the cat jumps up, and the smell radiating from his butt is like something crawled up it and died. He turns around and FI notices that there is poo, all over his fluffy hammer pants (love that!). So we take him and dunk him in the bath and try to scrub the poo off. We failed... miserably. So then I had to cut all of his butt hair off. He was not thrilled and it looks like he has tangled with a weed whacker. We also found, that he had tried to remove the poo himself, but scrubbing his a** on the carpet in multiple locations throughout the house. Anyways, we were worried that since giardia is contagious, the cat had it as well. So we took his litter box out of it's little house and put it where we could see it better to watch for any unusual poo. He was not thrilled with this, so he took a nice, neat poo, in the little house. INCHES away from the litter box. Needless to say our version of the anti-icky poo was used a lot that day. Sigh. Thank God they're cute.
