Kitty Strep Throat?

This afternoon was a little traumatic. My mistress and grands took me to visit the doctor. As much as I hate to go, I'm sure glad we made the trip. The only other time my mistress has taken me to the vet was when I was a young girl cat and had special surgery. Other than getting my annual check-up, I've been fairly healthy.

My family has noticed that I haven't been eating much this week, and I think I've lost a pound or two. When I try to eat, I just cant...it hurts too much and sometimes I just spit my food back out...is this too much information?

Well, my doctor is sooooo nice and sooooo gentle. I didn't have a temperature, but she took some blood. This means she had to shave some of the hair under my chin...I was a good girl, though. She also gave me a couple of shots and gave my family some antibiotics for me the next few days - yes, all we cats know about the pink stuff, don't we?!

Ivy is the doctor's dog...she's the unofficial greeter, and I was glad to see a friendly, furry face. She recommended some Science Diet food that is really soft. When we got home, my family fixed the food for me, and it was so soft it melted in my mouth. Boy, it was so good, and I ate more than I'd eaten the past week. The back of my mouth and throat are a little sore, and the doctor said we would know my diagnosis tomorrow night.

Please say some kitty prayers for me. Purrs and Paws to all my friends~
