Topaz and Indigo still with us

I took a urine sample in the other day, and UTI still remains -- low grade but still there.  So we have began another round of antibiotics.  These kitties are so affectionate they consider having a pill shoved down their throats just another cuddle though.  Topaz didn't even quit purring this morning, and it was obvious he knew what the drill was as soon as I picked him up and didn't mind a bit.

They continue to use the litter box well, and love playing games.  We have to crate them at night so that we can sleep, but we try to spend some time cuddling and playing during the day.  Judah enjoys doing his homework in the foster room (Randy and I's bedroom).

Our cat, Mike, seems to know these two have stayed a bit longer than usual.  He lays at the door staring at it,  and watches to catch a glimpse of the interlopers when we go through.  They have made eye contact, but nobody ever reacts.   Topaz and Indigo know Mike is out here, and he knows they are in there.  And that seems to be enough for everybody.  Our other cats never pay any attention to the fosters.

Mild Urinary Tract Infections

Seems that our two kitty cats have very mild urinary tract infections.  I picked up some liquid medicine for them today from the Humane Society, but they immediately puked and spat that out all over their crate.  QUITE emphatically and in great general agreement.  So I'll be picking up some pills for them in the morning.

Topaz and Indigo


We seem to be having a trend of blue animals at our house.  Our two new fosters are two cats named Topaz and Indigo (last dog was Saphyre).  My understanding is that these cats come from the same home, and are having some litter box issues.  Our job is to determine if there is a medical problem or a behavioral one.  They seem to using the box well so far, although we are only giving them the run of the room if we are in there watching them.


These cats are very affectionate.  Topaz seems to be a bit more cuddly and Indigo a bit more playful.  I was sitting in the cat room (my bedroom) reading today, letting them wander around and lost track of Topaz.  I called KeeKee in my kitty calling voice and her head popped out of a two inch wide crack in a drawer.  Not sure how she got in there so quietly, because she had quite the squeeze getting out.  And now you know I have a bad habit of not getting my drawers shut all the way. My mom is probably very embarrassed.  It's a lesson she did teach, I just didn't learn it well.  :-)

Indigo is the brown kitty -- with beatiful blue eyes, and Topaz is the black one with greenish brown eyes.
