Nanki-Poo's new "bed"
Nanki-Poo pulled the worst BCT ever!
First, to set the stage: As of yesterday, he has found a new place to lie - in the litter box. That seemed a bit strange to me. He was there for an hour or so yesterday, and for several hours today. When I fed them, he came out into the kitchen, but didn't go near his dish when he put it down. Then he gradually moved closer and closer to Lindy, watching her eat. I could tell she was getting uneasy, so I picked him up and put him by his dish. Then he started eating. When I went in the bathroom, there was a puddle by the box. Apparently Lindy had gone in there to use it, but Nanki-Poo was lying in it. He had obviously used it before he went into the kitchen. My sister called, and I was telling her about his behavior. She wondered if he weren't punishing me for something. Suddenly I put 2 + 2 together. I remembered the way he almost stalked Lindy at her food dish, and the puddle by the box. I remembered that Lindy got out twice yesterday, and was out for several hours all together. I'll bet she taunted him with the fact that she had been outside and he hadn't, and he was getting revenge, mostly by keeping her out of the litter box. Now for the BCT: This morning I got up to go to the loo about 6:30. When I went in there, Nanki was curled up in the litter box, with his face on the litter. He was lying so still I touched him to see if he was breathing. I thought he was, so I stroked him a little. He didn't move! I was sure he was either dead or in a coma. I picked him up, and he moved, so I knew he was alive, at least. I took him back to bed with me, and he just laid there next to me for a while. He breathed really hard for about a minute, then his breathing was normal, but my ear was against him and his heart seemed to be racing. Eventually, he did his usual but of climbing on top of me. He really, really didn't want to let me get up. Every time I turned or moved to get up, he'd shift his position so he was still on top of me. He stayed on the bed when I got up, but by the time I finished breakfast, he was back in the litter box. He's been there most of the day. -- Joy Don't believe everything you think |

Poor Nanki-Poo. Nanki-Poo, stop doing that this instant..you have your meowmie worried. Joy, please send me an e-mail to my 'workable' Yahoo addy Love, purrs and HUGS for everything to be okay.

It'll probably be a while before he's back to normal. I don't mean that something is seriously wrong with him, but his body probably feels out of whack. I don't know why he's sleeping in the cat litter, though! -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

His last blood test showed he was somewhat anemic, but the doctor said that could be from the radiation. So anemia could be one possible cause. There's also the possibility that he's depressed because he can't go outside. The gophers are having a field day with him cooped up in the house. Joy |

Once his neck heals, he should be able to go out. I suppose it would heal faster if I'd put the cone on him, but he's already miserable without it. I can't bring myself to do that. It is healing, though. Joy |
