waywardcatsHaven't much felt like writing, sorry for being so quiet lately, a couple of updates:
Garden update - mosaic virus 2, pole beans 0. It looks like it might be in the bush beans as well now; they have stopped growing. The neighbor's cat has also been digging in the unoccupied pot that the pole beans were in, so I am holding off until the weekend when I have time to empty it, clean it well and plant some squash I bought to replace the beans. Hopefully those will be ok. I just wasn't meant to have green beans this year.
Camus update - He has been behaving oddly.
His blood test results were not good. The only normal thing was the thyroid numbers. He is a little anemic and his kidney numbers are not promising. We are going to try twice weekly sub-cu fluids to see if that helps, but I am concerned that the six months of stability we had might have been all we get. He seems to feel ok, but so far the unusual behavior continues, so I continue to worry about him.

Camus update - He has been behaving oddly.
He has been attacking the other boys when I have been at home, something completely new. What I mean by attacking is, well, attempting to sexually assault them. He first exhibited this behavior about a month ago, since it has become more frequent and often more sustained. I pull him off and he just goes right back and scruffs them again (but the other guy doesn't run away either), so it's a strange thing. I don't think there has actually been penetration, he is half the size of the other two and I'm not sure he has enough body length to really do it. It's a dominance thing and not really sexual I believe.
In any case, after one night where he did it about every 2 hours i decided to get him checked out. Shilo his personal vet tech was kind enough to come over and do a blood draw.
