Personal Entry No. 9

[outou]

I finally sent in my submission for the Fanbook, so I can get started on the icon requests soon. I'm sorry for the wait, everyone!

I also finally received a letter from my school stating that I made the Dean's List for last semester, which was a great relief even though I knew my GPA not long after I returned home. In May. Over two months ago. I shouldn't be whining about something so minor, though.


Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter. Then, write 10 things that you love starting with that letter. Post the list in your journal. Give out letters to your commenters in return.

This one was from mairenn_k, who gave me the letter "A."

1. Apples.
2. Anton Chekhov's stories.
3. Antirrhinum (snapdragons).
4. Aquilegia (columbines).
5. Antiques (mostly old bottles, books, and assorted things that are slightly useless).
6. Autumn.
7. Archie and Mehitabel.
8. Astronomy.
9. Anna Akhmatova's poems.
10. April 1st.

I had to stretch it somewhat, but that's not half bad!

Setting that aside, we'll be leaving at 3:00 today to take our dashingly-handsome older cat to the vet's for a check-up. Kipper's been diagnosed with both diabetes and thyroid problems, and--while he doesn't mind his insulin shots--he despises his medicine. Does anyone have any good ideas for giving pills to cats?

Congrats for your school! And damn, I wish your cat the best. I just have had dogs all my life, so I have no idea. What works with them is giving the medicine with the food.

Kipper is such a cute name, jsyk.

I too would suggest trying to put the pills in food, otherwise really the only thing to do would be one person to hold him, another to pretty much shove the pill in, unkind as that sounds. :|;; We've had problems with giving our cat pulls before too, and it's uncomfortable but sometimes there's no other way.

Congrats for the school results!

When we need to give our cat pills, we usually roll them up in cheese or ham or something else that she likes. It works sometimes. Um, and in worst case we just put the pill in her mouth and keep her jaws shut until she swallows. She's very good at pretending to swallow and then spitting everything out as soon as you let go of her, though.

Congrats for your school.

I would suggest that you put the pills in food, just like the other people said. My cat just normally eats it without a problem, so i really don't know.

Congratulations on making the Dean's List!

A-And I'd second putting the pills into food like everyone else said, but my cats always manage to eat around the pills. It is definitely worth trying, though. I think my cats just want to make things difficult, haha.

Congrats ♥

Oh, could I ask for a letter, please? :)

Aaah, old books are so beautiful ;w;

O-oh my. I used to have a kitty, but that was ages ago. When he was sick we tried dissolving the pills in the cat-milk he used to drink, if I remember correctly. Worked for him, but it depends on the cat, I guess? xD;
