Kitty Queasiness

So our poor little Suki cat has been suffering a little, and in true cat nature, she was thoughtful enough to share her misery.  It started with her peeing all over the house.  This required us to wait until the dark hours of the night to scuffle around like detectives with our black light searching out all of the pee stains (I'm sure the neighbors were wondering what in the world was going on in there), and what we found was nothing short of horrific.  She had been peeing EVERYWHERE.  There was no rhyme or reason, no special corner, or even cornerS, just... everywhere.

I was sure that this was a dominance thing.  Having a few visiting dogs, along with our own lovalbe pup, I thought must have put her over the edge.  But after talking to a friend, who suggested it could be a UTI, and cleaning some very dark urine,  I thought it might be time for a visit to the vet.

I won't go into the idea of trying to get a urine sample.  Suffice it to say, we were unsuccessful, but the vet was able to take care of it, and lo and behold, she indeed had a UTI.  We started an antibiotic, but more importantly as it turns out, we gave her a new litter box that was all her own, up in the master bathroom.  It seems that she prefers this location, and  that seems to have taken care of her marking all over the house.

All seemed to be well, until the puking started.  I assumed the medicine that she was taking was upsetting her tummy, so we stopped giving it to her a couple of days early, and today we took her back to the vet.  They needed to test the urine again to make sure the infection was taken care of  and see what they could do about the vomiting.  We have her on some prescription food, and have her locked up in the master suite, so we can see exactly what's going in, and what's coming out. She doesn't seem to mind, since I think that she believes that to be her own personal apartment anyway.

The next step was to take the steam cleaner to the house and clean every carpet.  Between the cat and the afore mentioned visiting dogs, we were due for a deep clean.  Just as we were vacuuming and moving furniture, ready to go, we realize that our steam cleaner is broken.  A part of the brush has broken off, and is stuck.  Now our steam cleaner is at the doctors, and our carpets remain disgusting.

I guess it's just a sign that it's time to put my feet up, and wait for another day.
