Nonononononononononono!!!!
My youngest cat...Lester. He's sick.
He hasn't been eating the past few days. He's not fat, either. He's a bony little guy.
We were worried at first, but then Mom tried giving him treats, and he ate THOSE. Mom laughed and said he was being like a little kid. If they'll eat desert, they're just being fussy, and he'll eat when he's hungry.
But it's been three days now and he's still just picking at his food dish. And yesterday afternoon Mom found that a chunk of fur was missing between his shoulder blades.
It's gotten bigger over the last day. Now it's a round bald spot the size of a quarter. He can't have done that in some sort of mishap, so it's falling out.
I'm afraid to look up what's wrong with him. But I was rather under the impression that losing round chunks of fur/hair is generally a Very Bad Sign. He has an appointment with the vet's tomorrow.
Please don't let him be sick. Please let him be okay. Please don't let my kitty die. Please.

Just wanted to say...
Jan. 30th, 2003 09:28 pmI just wanted to shout out a big THANK YOU to all the great people on my poor, neglected friends list.
I know that the past few days I've posted nothing but lots of short, cryptic little entries. That must be annoying to many.
So, you all are so cool. For having patience with me.
Or. Each having - like me - a mouse with a roll-y scroll button.
Those are cool, too.
