It's already gone beyond a day. I've been giving him a small blob of expired Enercal twice a day. Got home from work today, and it didn't look like he touched his food, so I tried force feeding him. Went better than expected, but it's tedious. Pry his mouth open, stick a piece of kibble in, and try to make sure it stays there. I think I got about 15 pieces in him. I guess that'll be my new strategy. I'll work on him again later.

He's really looking like shit. Nothing but a sack of bones, and his fur's all matted, especially around his mouth from Enercal mishaps. Every day I get home I expect to find him dead, but he's hanging in there so far. I'll still be surprised if he's alive on Monday. He's my second favorite cat, and he's kind of a pita, but I owe him for bringing me my favorite cat. He was the leader of the group, and he's the one that approached me. That got me and my partner at work two cats each. He tries to be charming, but ends up being irritating. His stunning good looks help make up for it though. I'll miss him for sure.

Third day of force feeding. His teeth are intimidating, and as weak as he is, his jaws are still powerful. Have a hole on one finger with a mild infection. I have to pry his mouth open, then drop the kibble piece dead center at the back of his throat so he can't push it out with his tongue, all the while his fangs are clashing together.

I'm thinking the syringe idea won't work. Giving him the pet tinic, he slings his head around, throwing the liquid out of his mouth. He does the same with the Enercal, and he's got it stuck in his fur. Had an oozy eye this morning. Not sure what's up with that. Maybe he got Enercal in his eye :^/

Nothing to do but keep on keeping on I guess...
 
Some punk ass forum punk just dinged me on spelling yet there were no spelling errors in that particular, specific, solitary post.
 
Looks like we're back to winter. Getting hit with a snow storm right now. Might turn into freezing rain so it's going to be a mess of crusty snow. At least I'm off for the next 2 days so it will give me a chance to deal with snowblowing the driveway and deicing the car and stuff.
 
wal mart has this new, to me, orange tower that you pick up your on line orders at. All automated, just put in your order #. Took about 20 sec. It's by the produce section. The customer service counter is at the other end of the store. I waited my turn there for 15 minutes....
 
I seem to have lost my favorite shaving brush. I wanted to take the fur off the sides of my face today. Haven't done that since September. Had to use the brush I don't like so much. I've had my good one almost 30 years. The only thing I can guess is it fell in the trash and I didn't notice :^(

We went through his with a young male that had gotten real sick. Gave him Pedialyte to try and help with dehydration after he stopped drinking water. Have you tried anything like that? Hope he gets better.
 
He's drinking lots. I believe he has some kidney damage like his sister. I want to say he looks a little better. It's pretty subtle, but it seems like a slight improvement. He still isn't eating on his own though. I may up the food input to 20 kibble pieces twice a day from 15*2. I didn't want to go overboard at the start since he hadn't eaten in awhile, but I think it's time he got some more food in him. It would be awesome if he'd just eat. Hand feeding one piece at a time gets tedious.
 
Got my new brushcutter today, but the harness didn't come in on the truck. If I use it before next Tuesday, I'll have to use the crappy stock harness :^(
 
Called T-Mobile to ensure 4G LTE is included on a trip to Hawaii. Rep says only 2G. He didn't know Hawaii is part of the US. Asked where he's from - Philippines. It is a 1st world problem dealing with this ignorance.

They cannot give you 4G LTE if it doesn't exist on Hawaii
 
I'd be surprised if Hawaii does not have 4G. We have that even here in Canada, even here in the north. The rep probably thought Hawaii was a 3rd world island or something lol.

He didn't even check. He told me 2G right away saying since it isn't a part of the US. "Oh Hawaii is a part of the US?" I sat for a few seconds thinking what is happening here? Then he checked and oh 4G LTE is included for me. I had to get him to actually verify with someone else and document it on my account since he was so non-chalant about his answers. Can't stand that. But hey he told me all about how he was jealous and would also like a vacation soon. No joke, that's what he told me. Small talk is fine, but at least give your customers accurate info first.

Week1 force feeding concluded. Project concluded...

From the first year I got him...

I buried him under my new dawn redwood in sight of his window. He'll have the most magnificent memorial ever.

RIP Junior aka Jün-Jün, Junebug, Asshole


I was force feeding him, he acted like he choked, howled a second, and died. Not sure what happened. If his windway was blocked, he shouldn't have been able to make noise. Maybe his heart gave out. Congestive heart failure was also a possible diagnosis from me, as well as cancer. The vet was useless, so he relied on my vast medical knowledge of reading stuff every now and again; mostly extrapolating from human conditions.
