Long day after all.
@suzy SUZY ... do you remember the outdoor cat, Mama? The grandmother of Blue Moon? Well, when we got the first big ice storm in December, I just could not leave her outdoors. After she had been here for a while I renamed her Twinkle/Twinkie. She is the most loving cat I've ever seen. She crawls up in my arms nearly every evening and jumps up in bed right next to my head at night to sleep. So now I have 3 indoor cats, plus Rocky...oh, and a new big beat up outdoor cat who comes to be fed.
Had a long time at the vets. Poor Frannie is not doing well at all. I just had to get her to the vet today. My sister has a 4-wheel drive and was able to get out of her driveway so she came by and took us. Turns out Frannie has liver failure. The vet said there are 3 kinds. She is treating her for 2 types. The 3rd type has no treatment. The vet said she would feel better within days if it's one of the first 2 types. She gave her a steroid shot, an IV as she was dehydrated, and put Frannie on a course of antibiotics. The vet gave me some special canned food to get her to eat...she's lost 4 lbs... but she wouldn't really eat it, only about 1/2 teaspoon. Hoping tomorrow she will be feeling better due to her IV and shot and antibiotic dose she had today and I'll be able to get her to eat more.

Saying hello to all glassies.
