In other news...Mort had to go to the vet today, just for shots and stuff. So since we're there I ask the vet about this special expensive food he's on, if he has to keep eating it, but this vet is not the regular vet, and doesn't really seem to know what he's talking about, which is unfortunate. He says we should try to get a urine sample to check for crystals, and commences to squeezing the bejebus out of poor Mort's bladder, claiming that sometimes this will encourage the cat to pee. On the table? I can't see it, but this can't be fun for Mort. So, Mort doesn't pee, then we're done, so we go out into the waiting room to pay, and Mort wanders over into the corner by the plant and pees. On the floor. He did try to climb into the plant, but I wouldn't let him, so he went on the floor. I blame the vet, obviously, since Mort has never peed on the floor here. I think he was embarassed though, he let out this pitiful wail and then went to another corner and hid until it was time to go home. Poor guy. It was kind of funny though. All is well now. Good for another year.
oh, yeah, and he's gained a pound since our last visit, which was probably...2 months ago. He's up to 15.5lbs now. Fatass! So cuddly though...
