vet visit

loki in a boxHere’s poor Loki as we were getting ready to go to the vet’s. We’re back home now and I’m happy to report that nothing seems dangerously wrong with him. But it all started on Saturday afternoon. I’d come home from shopping and – very strangely! – Loki didn’t race to snarfle down his food when I put out the kitteh lunch. Shortly after that he started vomiting, which he kept up until Sunday evening, poor thing. And even after having not eaten for about 36 hours he still wouldn’t eat, which was when I started to worry.

So yesterday I bought some special food for treating cats that have had gastritis, a nice soft patΓ©… and he wouldn’t touch that either. He did keep down what I managed to force feed him, but as he was still lethargic this morning I decided he should get checked out. Basically Begonia the vet thought the same as me, that Loki had had some sort of stomach upset and was feeling low, but as long as I kept force feeding him and he was keeping it down she said he should be okay in a day or so. She gave him a cocktail injection of something to soothe the stomach and an antibiotic and we were on our way home again. And so of course – after going through the whole VET thing and spending about 40 euros – once back home and after a feeding session Loki starting eating on his own again. Phew!

pitu and kittehs
For those of you who don’t know about my friend Pablo… well, it’s been a long and sometimes complicated friendship. But hey, we’re still friends, even though we tend to drop in and out of each other’s lives. Just like yesterday! I was walking over to see an exhibition at the Alfonso XIII Hotel and passed an old folks home where Pablo’s parents were once in residence and I found myself wondering where the hell he’d been the past couple of months. Then about an hour later I was having a tapa with Peter and I suddenly got a WhatsApp video sent to me by Pablo showing his Pitu with a litter of eensy kittens. How random is that?

Then it occurred to me that I’ve actually been hankering for a new kitten… it just always feels better with three. But, other than when I went looking for a companion for Azar after Sunny died (which of course ended up being Loki) I’ve always gone with the notion that cats tend to find me. Just like yesterday. After having a look at Pitu’s brood I gave Pablo a call and asked him to give me first choice. And guess what? Turns out they were just one day old! Which means they were born on April 7th… Azar’s birthday.

So that’s a done deal! Except now I have to choose one. Will be going over to Pablo’s this week to have a better look at them, and will no doubt visit them a lot over the next 6-8 weeks. Right now I’m partial to either the little orange one or the black one with a comical white face.

blossom, cats, love, sunday song

When I named Azar I loved the play on words that his name meant “luck” or “happenstance” in Spanish but it also sounded like “azahar”, which means orange blossom.

Azar would have been 18 today. It seemed unimaginable a year ago that we wouldn’t have any more birthdays together. It still feels unbearable that I’ll never see or hold him again.
