Our cat, Shaggy, is sick again and he's really suffering. He's got a bladder infection again. He couldn't pee last week so we raced to the vet (last time we were just in time, he told us). The vet emptied his bladder by squeezing it. Normally when you squeeze a cat's bladder the pee shouldn't come out. Shaggy peed instantly, but he screamed so loud. I didn't know a cat could cry so hard. When it was over he came to me searching for comfort and mum and I stood there with tears in our eyes. The vet told us it must've hurt like hell... Yeah, we figured that much! The vet sent Shaggy's pee to pathology and Monday we had the result: severe bladder infection with possible kidney infection.
All the odds are against our little Shaggy-boy, because cats with kidney problems are often sterilized and stay inside too long so they don't empty their bladder enough. Now he has to eat special food, take a lot of pills for a long time and when he's in pain he can have another pill that relieves the pain.
Now we're a week later and he's still not really well. This afternoon he went on and off his litter box followed by a crazy ass running around the house and trying to lick his behind. We saw it started to hurt again so we gave him the pain relief. Now he's doing better, but we see in his eyes that it still hurts.
I hope he'll get better soon, I hate seeing him like this. I want my happy, non-aggresive cat back!!

Snow!!!!
Our dogs love snow! Especially Mona likes to be covered in it. Normally she's never too excited to go outside, but if it has snowed, you simply can't stop her. Viggo and Grace on the other hand like to play in it for a little while, but they soon come knocking on our back door to get back in. Not Mona, she can't get enough!! Here is the proof:
