A bit of a scare last night as Ruthie and I made our first trip to the emergency clinic. The devil cat just wasn't being very devilish. She was very lethargic and was going to her litter box a lot and occasionally meowing and scratching at things. I thought she wasn't happy with the litter box, but I had just cleaned it out and added new litter. She was constantly in the box so I started watching and she was trying to pee but only a few drops came out. I called the emergency number and they referred me to the clinic who then told me to bring her in. So at 9:15 in the pouring rain we headed to downtown New Haven. Just how I wanted to spend the night! Two hours later we finally saw the vet, whom Ruthie greeted with plenty of hissing. Without a sample they couldn't be sure, but it sounded like an infection and she needs antibiotics. I'm pretty sure I could wrap anything in one of those Greenies pocket things, because she was licking the floor looking for more. Still mopey this morning, but there was some waste in her box, so that's good. I feel bad, she's never been sick before so it's tough to see her like this. Hopefully she'll be back to normal soon!

Here's a picture of her waiting in her crate.
