I wish I could help. I'm hopefully getting my first pay check tomorrow. if I have enough I can chip in

I felt awful this morning. It was a depressing hopelessness just sitting in the rain waiting in line to recycle bottles. It's an unreal type of hopelessness.. Then I took 1g of phenibut and went on a hike, got the Moderna and now hypomanic-like.. Which is good.. I need a break.

Feeling some Ptsd symptoms. Not sure how to cope with them right now. Just bottling them up. Tomorrow I talk with pdoc. I'll ask him how to handle my Ptsd. I've gotten better though. A better job would help things. Too many stressful things at once.

Kitty cat update, Helen didn't eat much last night but she did eat some wet food. Maybe a teaspoon worth. She seemed ravenous at first and then petered out. I got her out of the spare bedroom and brought her to the living room. We tried not having the dog on the leash but as soon as Helen got down she swiped at Emma so we put Emma on a leash so she wouldn't get too excited and jump all around her and try to sniff all over her. So then we put Helen down in the middle of the room and she investigated some of the stuff in the room. Once she realized the dog couldn't "get" her she would go close to the dog but not too close. She was probably exploring for 10 to 15 minutes, then she made her way back to the room where she is staying so I took that as a "I'm ready for a break." So I put her on the bed and petted on her and talked to her. Trying to get her to learn her name.

Then I was still concerned because she hadn't used the litter box. I hadn't seen any evidence that she had gone in the room outside of the box but I was worried something wasn't working right after the spay surgery. But I figured I would give it until today and then call the vet.

So this morning I woke up and checked on her immediately and lo and behold she used the potty box for both things. Yeah! And when I went to feed her this morning she was really hungry. She probably ate a teaspoon of wet food and a fourth of a cup of dry food. She didn't finish what was in her bowl but it was mostly dry left so I left it by the windowsill in case she wants to nibble later. I don't want her to free eat but I am willing to be a little tolerant right now while she is still adjusting. I'd rather have her on the same feeding schedule as Amelia and Emma if possible. So she ate well today and she used the potty box so these are good signs. Although she made a right mess with the litter. My parents took her out of the room and vacuumed it because they don't want it getting in the carpeting. I even have a mat down under the box and she still managed to get litter everywhere. She might do better with a covered box but with the cone on her head I figured it is hard enough for her to get into the box.

Then came the medicine giving time. This time she managed not to spit any of it out. Dad and I worked out that it's 7.5 days worth of medication so we still have several days of prying open her jaw and getting the syringe in there and trying to get the medicine on her tongue. But today she took the medication the best so maybe she is getting used to this routine. She still seems a little lethargic but I called Dad around 10 this morning from work and he said he had to refill her water so she is drinking water. I don't know if maybe she is lethargic in general or if it is still the effect of the surgery. She definitely seemed peppier at the animal shelter but I figure I'll give her a few more days and she will probably be her bouncy self. She just has to adjust to the family and the room and the dog. She hasn't met Amelia yet. I wonder how that will go. I put Amelia's food by Helen's door both last night and this morning. Amelia crunched away and didn't even sniff under the door so I think she really has no clue that there is another cat in there.

I opened the curtains so Helen would have a view of outside today. She seemed to enjoy that yesterday for a time. And let some natural light flood the room a little more, although not too much. It's supposed to be 110 today but my parents will have the AC on around 72 so Helen should be comfortable.

I'm less nervous/anxious about her health since she is eating more and going to the bathroom. Hopefully the lethargy improves since she is eating better. She likes to roll over onto her side and let me pet her side and the top of her belly. I haven't rubbed the bottom of the belly because most cats don't like that and that's where her incision is so I don't want to bother it. She hasn't seemed the least bit interested in her toys yet or the scratchy post or the cat tree. I'll see if I can get her interested in "play" tonight but I don't want to overdo it with her surgery.

So to sum up, I think Helen is doing better today. Just the lethargy remains but we'll see how she is tonight when I get home from work. Maybe she will be bouncing off the walls by then. Let me outta this room! It's a pretty big room, 8 by 10 or 10 by 12 maybe so she has plenty of space. Amelia stayed in there 7 to 10 days hiding under the bed before she got stir crazy and wanted out. So right now it's all on the cat's timing. She's explored the living room and my bedroom a little and her room. There's still lots of the house she hasn't explored. Maybe we will have Helen do a little more exploring tonight and keep Emma on a leash for 10-15 minutes while Helen explores. I do think I am going to hold Helen with a towel and let Emma sniff her because I think she will feel better/do better around the cat once she has had a good sniff. Helen will just have to endure that indignity.

HUGS to anyone who wants one, Kit

I called the shelter where I adopted Helen from and sponsored the other cat Coral that I looked at but didn't take. Hopefully that will help her get adopted. I feel bad that I couldn't take her but I don't need three cats at home. Two are plenty.
