In November 2009 I began taking in transitional kitties, i.e., those needing housing as they wait for someone to adopt them. The Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association has a brilliant website with bios and photos displaying all their wards who are waiting for furr-ever homes. The following is a sporadic attempt at logging my experiences. I haven't yet got the hang of designing this "website," so I'll continue to let Google Blogger have the upper hand in the meantime. :-)

Nope! we're back in the bathroom...
Emma gets pretty anxious when she's out of the bathroom, so for the time being she's back there. I had Maria come and look carefully at her mouth and throat today, because she grunts and snuffles occasionally and I was concerned when I saw her pick up a crunchy then drop it and pick it up again. Plus she often swallows them whole, and she gulps when swallowing as well. The exam found nothing - her teeth and tongue look great. Maria said half a Thayer's Slippery Elm lozenge ground up and mixed with water was good for sore throats in cats, so I might try one and see how she does. I could also massage the sides of her nose in the sinus area - cats apparently like that and it could loosen up anything that may be left over from the terrible infection she had for 2 months. But everything looked fine on the surface, and I did see clear discharge the one time I observed Emma sneeze.
