Internashinul Cat of Misteree

 

So yeah, dat are me, da Internashinul Cat of Misteree. Ok, maybe not internashinul. Or even nashinul since I has not been outta Texas (YET). But I are a Cat of Misteree™. As in whatefur are going on wif me - it are a Misteree. Yesterday momma waited for my test results. And da vet called around 5:30 to say dat da results wuz gonna be delayed since there had been an outage at da lab. Thanks again ERCOT. 

Anyways, yesterday I wuz doing pretty good - eating and not throwing up and not having any litterbox problems. But den around 5 in da morning, I let out a loud MEOW and beat a hasty retreat to da Plastic Throne, and well, Montezuma had his revenge as ya will. A guy just can't catch a break.

Da vet called today - and well, da results are a bit confusing. My fecal sample wuz clear - no parasites here. Which momma and da vet both kinda figgered, but it are important to check. My pees were "crystal-clean" - always a good thing when ya has had urinary blockages before. And my bloods are PAWSOME. Speshully for a nine year old. Kidney, liver, you name it, everything wuz normal. So da chances of it being some kinda metabolic disease causing my problems (kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, etc.) are pretty much nil. Except for my eosinophils - which were high. Which could just mean dat I have inflammayshun in my gut - which, well, DUH. I coulda told ya that. 

So what are the vet (and da momma thinkin)? Maybe some kinda IBD flair-up or potentially a food sensitivity. So momma are keeping a food diary for me and I went back to da vet for a corticosteroid injeckshun to try to tamp down da inflammayshun in my gut. I are still not eating today, but momma are hopin dat'll change once da steroid starts kickin in. And hopefully Montezuma won't exact any more revenge, if ya know what I mean.
