Hahaha!  Ben the cat is a mink  Tonkinese,  and I just googled to see  what photos I could come up with. Check out, I kid you not, GCH GPR RW Sonham Princes Maria Thunderpussy at http://www.fanciers.com/breed-faqs/tonkinese-faq.shtml. Anyway. He looks similar, but is a bigger,  burlier boy.  He's quite shy, so many of my friends have never seen him. 

5 AM Friday, I thought I'd have to have him put to sleep. He started vomiting, and looked like he felt awful, like he just wanted to die. He's a Kidney Cat, so kidneys gave out? The new vet fit him in,and  I left him overnight  for tests, hooked up to an IV pump.  He came home Sat. afternoon, shaved in patches, looking SO MUCH better and happier. It wasn't his kidneys, his gut is irritated by something unknown. He's on a special diet and YAY veterinary medicine. 

Double yay is finding a new vet.  Months ago, my beloved former vet and everyone in the practice retired after their senior member died on  the premises from a heart attack. I'm not crazy about the senior vet at this other practice (the former back-up vet), but luckily, he was out on Friday and he has new associates.  I liked hearing her thinking on the complicated possibilities, and appreciated an anatomy diagram. 

There's a bunch of stuff going on with litigation over my cousin's estate and it's all very interesting. I am getting SO little work done with all these distractions. Argh.
