Congrats to the bride and family!
In less happy news, Munchkin's been in a bad way today. This morning, I opened his cage and he didn't budge, just stayed in the back half asleep. A bit odd, but we did kinda keep him up late last night. But after a couple hours, it got worriesome, especially when he ignored fresh veggies. When we kinda hovered around his cage to encourage him to come out, he went and hid in the bathroom, shying away from any attempt to pet him. Even when at his most tired, he never refuses a good scrub. That's when I looked and saw that his litter box was suspiciously under-used. So while I went to Ikea, CP took Munch to the vet.
Hopefully this is just some hair blockage. He got an injection and some subcutaneous fluids. We gave him some hairball gook, and CP got him to have a nibble of food, which seemed encouraging. But nothing since. He's holed up in his favorite corner, ignoring food and water, and still not wanting to be pet. Definitely not himself. Hopefully a night of care will get him past this, if not, back to the vet tomorrow.
