So it turns out Lyra cat, Drama Queen of the Universe actually was pretty darn ill. She tested positive for salmonella, probably from eating a bird a few days before, and had a serious gut infection. But after four days at the vet, IV-treatment, blood samples, ultrasound, two different antibiotics, force feeding and a whopping bill, she started eating again and ould come home. A bit subdued, but much better.

Yesterday I gave her the second dose of a pill meant to stimulate her appetite. Out of curiosity I googled it, and it turns out it's used as a antidepressant for humans. Whatever the reason - this morning we were woken up by a VERY talkative, companycraving, hungry and curious cat wondering WHERE WE WERE AND WOULD WE PLEASE GET UP SOON!

And she can't go out loose for the next six weeks! Time to try walking her in a harness, I guess.
