Fearful Friday

We are hunkering down! There are THREE big storms heading our way! Mom and Dad are a little worried about getting out on Sunday, so we hope its not too bad. Its hard to believe we might have up to a foot of snow by Saturday, today was almost 60 degrees! But it was really windy. Mom took me out in the back yard, and although it was nice it wasn't so cold, I didn't like the wind much. I chased some leaves, and checked out the wood pile for lizards and chipmunks, then ran to the slidy glass door to be let back in! I hope I get to go out tomorrow...

Mom talked to the V-E-T about giving us Dramamine for the trip home on Sunday. He said there are two references for dosage. One says 12. 5 mg (1/4 of a 50 mg tablet) for an average size cat. The other says 4 to 8 mg of Dramamine per kg body weight. Kavan weighs 11.5 lbs (a little more than 5 kg) and I weigh 11 lbs (5 kg, can you believe he outweighs me now???). So we could each get up to 40 mg! Mom and the V-E-T both decided on 1/2 a tablet for each of us. I've never been given medication, so I'm a little nervous about it. I keep hearing Mom and Dad say something about "burrito" cat. I'm not sure what they mean. Kavan is used to getting meds, although he has never been pilled.

Maybe we will get snowed in and not have to leave.....
