A Grown Woman: Phoebe

She still seems pretty comfortable in the house. However she's been making a mess in the litter box. It's going to be a lot of work until she can control herself just a tiny bit better. Her stools are really loose, so since she can't control her legs that well she tries to kick sand over the pile(pool) and then tries to get out of the box, but really she just gets it all over herself.
*sighhhhhhhhhh*
And then all over her house.

I am washing a bunch of towels right now, and as soon as they are dry she's going to get a bath in the sink. Then I'll throw the bedding from the house into the washer while I keep her wrapped in the towels. And hopefully in the morning she'll still be clean enough to go to Aptos without another bath. At the moment she mostly just has litter sand all over herself, I've been trying to catch her as soon as she poops so I can get her out quickly.

Otherwise she is still eating a lot, and it's special weight gain food so hopefully she'll have gained a lot by Monday. And hopefully she can walk a little better.

You really are a very good Kitty Mommy to take such good care of her like that.

Would it help if you shaved her rear area down? I know you would still need to clean her up, but at least there would be so much to clean.

And I agree that you're being so patient and kind to Phoebe. I'm not certain that I would be willing to make the same sort of commitment.
