Yesterday our sweet, loving Annie had a seizure and had to be rushed to the vet. Her heart is enlarged and she has fluid in her lungs and around the heart. She is home now, on medication and rather lethargic, but rest is good.

Her housemate, Thisbe, was totally freaked out by the event and hid under the bed the rest of the day. Don't you wish you could do that sometimes?
In the evening Thisbe came downstaris and rubbed noses with Annie. She seemed to be looking for assurance that everything will be all right.

Annie has a good appetite and has been drinking plenty of water. She washed her paws and sharpened her claws and chased Thisbe back upstairs this morning, so we are hoping she is on the mend. We go back to the vet on Friday. Giving cats pills is no fun, but we managed this morning. We pumped insulin into Thisbe for a month, so what are a few pills?

I baked a German Marmorkuchen (marble cake) for Significant Other's birthday tomorrow. It's a BIG one. We are having stuffed cabbage (krautwickel) which is his favorite dinner. A really cheap date, yes, with ground beef and cabbage. All the good stuff isn't caviar and fois gras. The cake, by the way, looks magnificent. I'm thinking we may not be able to wait until tomorrow. But then, who will know?

Think good thoughts for Annie.
