To our great surprise last night we had nothing recorded to watch. Keith scrolled through the movies for purchase and we watched "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World". We liked it very much which was another surprise for the evening.

DR Cillaliz what did the new cat sitter have to say for herself? While it wasn't nice of her to move your bills without asking I am much more disturbed by how Callie was when you got back. She did not call to tell you of these problems? That is really bad. Poor kitties!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer, she cleaned a little too, she said she was just trying to help me organize, something we talked about doing in the future, when I was home. She had trouble the first night with callie and said she didn't call because she didn't want to interrupt my trip. Then I asked why she didn't clean her off and she said she just figured Callie would do it herself. This is sticky liquid that dries very hard. You can't brush it out you have to get a wet rag and loosen it up.

She probably had good intentions, but what she really wants is me to hire her to work on my house. I told her that's not what I asked her to do, I asked her to care for the cats. She said she knew that, but she wanted to make the house nice for me.

Bogie used to take that medicine & I don't ever remember it all over his fur. Have you had problems giving it to Callie?

Thinking about this response, it is rather ignorant from a person who cares for animals. I would not want to trust her with a serious situation, not that this couldn't have been one.

Not really, once in awhile the dropper drips a little on her coat and I just wipe it off right away with a wet paper towel and it's fine. She told me Callie turned her head so it went all over her. Callie can be stubborn and I don't doubt that. And she has a hiding place I can't find, so I'm sure that was probably happening too. She did tell me she thought it would be easy and it wasn't. I get all that and I'm not mad, but she also told me Callie was acting really funny on Sunday morning. That's when she should have called me and told me what was going on. She said again she didn't want to interrupt my trip, but I told her I could have either told her what to do or told her to take Callie to the vet. She said she didn't think of that.

She said she didn't think of that.

Again, she didn't think.

As for Bogie, he was a model child when it came to meds & grooming. Bosco on the other hand would was more like Callie regarding meds.

It is a little scary when you think of what could have gone wrong. In a way this was good as it wasn't too bad & you now know not to use her.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #130 on:** October 25, 2012, 05:59:17 PM »

I'm going to contact my friend who runs a wildlife rescue to see if she knows anyone who maybe volunteers with her and knows how to care for animals who need medicine. I'm also going to ask the vet and the local humane society if they know someone. I want to hire someone who wants a job taking care of the cats and has experience with that. I don't go anywhere until December, so I have a little time to find someone

Jane · « **Reply #131 on:** October 25, 2012, 06:01:19 PM »

I bet whoever you use you will make sure you watch the person give Callie her meds

Cillaliz · « **Reply #132 on:** October 25, 2012, 06:01:56 PM »

Callie wasn't well when I got home. She was hissing and howling at me, something she just doesn't do and I've never seen her act the way she was acting in the 10 years she's lived with me. I stayed wtih her but gave her space and just talked to her for about an hour, then ran to the grocery store. She had calmed a little when I got home and let me start to clean her off. Then she started throwing up. (Sorry if this is a bit graphic). I stayed with her and cleaned her up and brushed her. Just before bed she ate some food and kept it down and she was much better in the morning. I'm afraid to think of what would happened if I had been gone another day

Part of the problem is you have been very spoiled or you would have demonstrated with an empty dropper or pill & then watched the sitter do it.

UPDATE! Just talked to Larry. Sharon is doing well. She is up, and even smiling! Her attitude is good, and falls in line with the Sharon we know, love and respect. However, she is still isolated, so no visitors. He sounded great. I will keep you up to date!

I heard she may get out of the hospital around Thanksgiving
