Sounds like a no-lose situation to me!

Sure, if the whole thing weren't too sweet for eating in one quick go.

Maine Coon, Norwegian Forrest Cats and Rag Dolls (and other fluffy cats) all have the posability of a genetic heart defect that leads to early heart disease. Jack had it and I had no idea, which is why he suddenly went into cardiac arrest and died. When Sid had a round of UTI's they took xrays. The vet didn't notice anything but a radiologist who comes in weekly did. They recommended an ultrasound which showed that he has the genetic defect. There's not much you can do to cure it, but you can manage it to give the cat a longer life. Sid is on blood pressure meds 2x a day, gets monthly blood pressure checks and they've recommended an ultrasound every 6 months.

There are other things that I'm trying to piece together that may go along with the heart disease. Both Sid and Jack were tartar-prone and had pretty bad teeth for being youngsters. Sid's had to have his first teeth cleaning at 1 1/2. They both seem to get sicker than the other when something is going around. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the heart issue, but I'm keeping it in mind as I piece together this puzzle.

I've also started giving Sid COQ10 to help him out. Luckily, he doesn't mind meds.

Sammy is normally not a sickly cat- this is his first illness, and he's almost 7. Boris has been sick since last year with a variety of stuff, and he breezed through this virus. We've got Samwise in Tori's room, all doped up and thoroughly being spoiled. His temp was down this afternoon- to 101 degrees. I'm not taking any chances- he's in quarantine and stress-free mode until I know he's much better. Haku hasn't got sick at all, which means he was the carrier. Makes sense, as he was a shelter kid.

One more and you can hang out with the most interesting man in the world.

I have to go to the dentist and I don't want to.

Confirmed.

I officially like Bothell. Middle of fvcking nowhere, sure, populated seemingly entirely by nameless faceless business parks. But 1) They are all well hidden by PNW-appropriate creeks and groves of trees. And 2) I found a little "downtown" area with about a dozen restaurants, not one of them a chain. Huzzah!

Tonight was sushi. Tomorrow will be Thai food.

ETA: However this hotel with its 11Mbps wifi and no wired internet can go fvck itself.

Good point. I'd happily swap living in California for living in Bothell, it is really only in comparison to other nearby areas of Washington that Bothell suffers.

The relatively crappy areas up there are still much better than down here (but that's mostly because even after 12 years down here I still hate the weather).

I never heard of Bothell. Should I have?

Oh, and I just came across some old family 8mm film of a circa '62 visit to Disneyland. I have no idea how to transfer it to something watchable though.
