It's that time of the month again. Rain and wind is blowing in. I opened the kitty carrier and Beau walked in. What a trooper. That's Beau Teak, Siamese esquire. He and I just returned from the Vet clinic. The Vet and helpers withdrew another 200 and some milligrams of fluid from Beau's chest. She said he was calm and good during the procedure. And feed him and let him do what he wants at this point. His fluid levels are staying consistent- not going up and not going down. He took his meds nicely for me this morning. Congestive heart failure is not a joke for either humans or cats. I made sure Beau had appointments for chest taps through May. One day at a time. He was hungry and ready for a canned food snack the minute he was let out of the carrier. Now he is headed for the warm bathroom.

He’s such a good cat. And you’re a good cat mama.

Thanks @AmbiePam. Beau's up on the cat tree seat looking out the front window now. Fred has really messed that tree into Ugly City. But it works so it stays.

They learn that they feel better after some things. I had a doberman mastiff mix that hated going to the vet unless her allergies needed treated. Then all I had to do was say it's time to get help. She would walk right in. If her allergies were not bothering her I would have to drag her through the doors. That's not easy with 80 pounds of muscle
