Small package, big hate.

I want my mommy.

So what are you trying to say?

Dude, that's some good shit.

These never get old.

So Buzz could have been in my back yard all along. We looked for him the day we noticed him gone and several times after that, including under the shed where we found him. The cinder blocks are staggered, so I guess he could have kept moving or got into a blind spot when we looked under there (or been in myriad other hiding places). We left the bedroom window, which is near the shed, open at night in case he meowed for us until it got too cold to do so. I feel so bad. I hope he's ok. I left him at the vet. He appeared to weigh 9 lbs (down from 15), but he wouldn't be still on the scale. Wow. Given that weight loss, his age, and his previous medical issues, they are doing some bloodwork and cleaning him up for me. They're also going to check that abrasion on his leg, which the vet said looked to be an old would that had scabbed over. He said we'd need to keep him isolated for a week just in case he caught a cold. AIDS is a guessing game because it might not show up for months. It can be transmitted if the infected cat bites another cat, but not vice versa. I can be optimistic because Rufus checked out ok when I brought him in.

Not sure what will happen with him and Rufus. He's is already acting pissy just smelling Buzz on me. I hope isolating him and letting them get used to each other's scent will help. Thea will hiss and snort, but that's just what she does. Baby's not bothered as long as her bed and her food are not disrupted.
