Fiona is back to her old self

As of yesterday she is back to her old self. I never did find out what was wrong with her. Today she is acting like nothing was ever wrong. Interesting note is that Bob (husband) found a dead Sun Spider just outside the arcadia door after spraying bug spray there yesterday.

Not herself

Fiona is not doing well. She does not play or follow us from room to room, all she does is rest on the bed. This has been going on for at least the last 5 days. Her eye's look good, can't find any wounds, I rub her tummy and there is no reaction, her paws, legs and spine seem to be fine.


Three things come to mind.
1) Water from the soap dish - maybe the soap has made her ill
2) She may have been stung by a scorpion or sun spider
3) This may be from the booster shot

This morning she came downstairs with us - so things may be getting better. I don't want to take her to vet if I don't have to - as that really stresses her out.

Fiona's 1 Year Vet Visit

This cat 'hates' car rides. It is a 40 minute trip to the Vet's office and she cried all the way there. Weighing in at 14 pounds, the vet said that she was a little over weight, but otherwise doing great. We are going to put her and Benson on Adult light food. The Vet said that Fiona asks more like a Dog then a Cat. I told her some of the things that she does. Like waiting in the shower for water to drip from the soap dish - trying to catch the drops. If she is sleeping in a room and we leave the room, she will meow until we call her, after which she comes running to our location. She is very needed and follows us from room to room. When we go out side she waits by the door watching us, and meows when we come back in.
