ksmithSome strange transmutation took place during the night, as I am now apparently the owner of a 125-lb cat. King seemed fairly content to lie in the hallway while I was getting ready for work. Then he got up and headed into the kitchen. Then I heard...noises.
There's no longer any mulch outside for him to eat, and the dirt-eating is limited by the fact that we haven't had much rain over the last week or so and the ground is hardening up as a result. So, in an apparent attempt to compensate, he has taken to licking the rugs, which means that lately he's been swallowing a bit of dog hair. Which is what came up this morning. Yes, my dog the cat is horking hairballs.
I am hoping this doesn't happen often, that it's simply a case of the wrong stuff sitting in his empty tum overnight and waiting for the morning to beg exit. I gave him a pepto-bismol tablet, and will be refilling his sucralfate scrip.
Everytime I think I may have this under control. Welp, one thing I know I'll be doing tonight. Vacuuming.
