Light blogging alert... I'm feeling a bit out of it this morning, after being up very late last night and getting just a few hours sleep. What kept us up was a “cat emergency” – Jahar, our Savannah cat, ate a piece of ribbon. We only know this because he vomited up a short piece of it. We had no idea how much he had (or had not) eaten, and we knew that long, stringy things can be very dangerous when they get into the intestines, so...off we went, down to the emergency vet in La Mesa.
Bottom line: so far as we can tell, he's fine. But the poor guy (who is terribly stressed by any kind of travel) went through hell last night, and we spent 5 hours waiting for the diagnostics and consultations to get done. X-rays and an ultrasound exam found nothing to worry about – but then, it's just lucky when they do. It's still entirely possible he has an undetected length of ribbon in him, so we have to watch closely for a few days to make sure his digestive tract is all working correctly. Jahar is isolated in our bedroom so we track everything going in and coming out...
