Melbcat is having a bad day. Breakfast was cheap and substandard (sardines) so of course she couldn’t eat it, and missed her meds. I should have syringed some into her mouth but was busy and hoped she would get to it. Now she’s had the indignity of numbing antibiotic cortisone cream applied to her poor itchy face. It’s made her skin redder.

But after refusing another sardine snack and having a tantrum she’s had her supper meds early and got the fancy cat food tin she wanted.

Edit: The numbing didn’t kick in fast enough to stop the additional itching from the cortisone and she started washing her face while licking her paw. I’ve used an unscented baby wipe to remove as much as possible

You know what though. I haven't actually tried fancy cat food... it is seafood... in a tin... it has potential

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

cat food is more expensive than tinned fish for humans!!

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It straight up is. It’s also more expensive even than meat intended for human consumption

She’s had some treats and cuddles. I think this is definitely a flea allergy from being bitten a week or two ago

I really need to get off my butt and cook meat for her, she wouldn’t reject lamb. (It will be blended with vegetables and thinned to be more digestible this time.)

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

ugh, flea bites are so itchy
