Sumner went the ER vet
Aug. 9, 2004
Sumner didn’t seem to be himself the past two days, but by this evening it was clear something was really wrong. He was very lethargic the whole day, his inner eyelids were showing pretty much all the time, he ate almost nothing, and when after several hours of [...]

There are some changes going on with the cat’s “hierarchy”. This is to be expected as the males are all around two years-old, the age when cats reach social maturity.

Sumner has recently been licking the cement floor of our enclosed porch and also the brick patio floor. He is just a year old, and never did it before. Today he dragged a piece of a broken clay pot into the house, and was licking it. I know that licking or eating clay [...]
