She's been sequestered in the guest bedroom since Monday night. As I predicted she spends most of her time sleeping under the blankets on the bed unless it's time to eat, she needs to use the box, or if J or I are in the room. She sleeps a lot normally, but it's a bummer she feels compelled to "hide" like that rather than look out the window from time to time or play with her catnip pillow. So far, though, not showing any signs of depression. I sleep with her every other night (tonight's a Diva night) and she really seems to enjoy that. I also try to spend time in there with her throughout the day.

She finally downloaded in the middle of the night on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. It only took 6cc of Lactulose a day plus her food concoction (Science Diet mature formula turkey with a little Science Diet A/D added plus miralax, benefiber and baby food squash) to get that to happen. We're waiting for one more download before we consider releasing her into the rest of the house to make sure the concoction is working regularly. We'd release her now, but she and Jazz use the same box and it's become quite difficult to tell the difference between their respective downloads now that they're both constipated. Now that Jazz is on Cisapride I'm hoping hers start looking like they used to before the constipation hit, thus making them easier to distinguish.

My obsession with cat shit is breath taking, is it not? ;/ Le sigh. But for the risk of megacolon developing, which is very bad indeed, I would worry less about how often they downloaded. But because of the risk of megacolon...there but go I. It's like having toddlers or something...

Sorry for cluttering your feed with my cat woes. I natter on for additional record keeping purposes. Feel absolutely free to scroll past.
