Pancake Update: last night I left her out overnight for the first time and she did great! She seems to understand bedtime, and even climbed into bed and snuggled me at one point. The cats did wake me up at 5am which I'm not pumped about, but she's officially out for good!

Pancake Update: she loves her brothers scratching bed and is learning about TV, mirrors, and slowly winning her 2 brothers over. Cheeto will take some time. Puma is already playing with her a little.

Pancake Update: She's a little high energy for her brothers still, but after some play time together puma and pancake are both more relaxed around each other.

Placed my first order from @purlsoho.bsky.social after a long time lurking & loving their free patterns and I could not be more impressed! Packaged great, came with the cotton bag and a free sample (the gray yarn) - the scissors are mine. The yarn is super soft! Jazzed about my WIP! #amknitting

Pancake Update: so far so good. No issues with her appetite and still pooping, it's been 7 days. Her incision is healing really well and she has tons of energy. I got some yuck sour spray to curtail some of her wire chewing habbits and it's working great. Next fecal is in ~1 week.

Pancake Update: she's fine. Got home yesterday around 330pm and slept all night. Vet said no surgery suit or cone bc it can make some cats more manic and just monitor her. If she loses her appetite bring her in immediately, but they think it'll pass fine.

They were not concerned about the hyperactivity because that is a possible side effect for some cats (new to me!), and it can take 24-36 hours to wear off. Here she is finally being slightly chill at around 630. We watched the sunrise together before going to the vet.

She's been too crazy for me to get a pic of her post surgery so enjoy this pic of her the morning before.

Excuse my terrible singing. We've had 2 trick or treaters since 530pm. Please enjoy my Halloween psychosis.

But look how cute she is! Also she's now 7.2 pounds! I think she's gunna be a big girl but we'll see! The vet said to get feeder toys for after her spay because she'll gain weight easier and she's getting super bored in that room. Hopefully Nov 18 we'll get a negative Giardia result. ✨ MANIFESTING ✨

This is from a bit ago. She's better at putting her paw in my hand now.

Pancake update: she's way too smart for her own good. Today she figured out how to open my cabinet (which is now taped shut). She also knows that door handles are what open the doors and frequently jumps at the handle in her room. Fortunately it's old and hard to turn. Vets on wed!

Pancake update: got her DNA results in and she is NOT siamese! 68% American Domestic, 13% Ragdoll, 12% Sphynx, and 7% Maine Coon. I really hope she gets as big as a Ragdoll. The Ragdoll does explain her coloring and loving disposition. Also clear on all scary genetic abnormalities 🙌 #wisdompanel

Pancake Update: I sacrificed one of Puma's toys to keep her entertained while I work, as she has taken to leaping at my laptop and closing it. She's had super solid poops and no farts for a week so I'm really hoping the 2x a day cleaning routine is killing the giardia.

Just in case you're wondering: Pancake's brothers, Puma and Cheeto, are doing just fine. We just celebrated their 1 year gotcha day.

She's doing ridiculously well. It's just clearing the giardia now. All her other worms and issues are gone. Her vaccines didn't even phase her. She's got bonkers energy. She's afraid of the mop, tho.

Pancake update: she still has giardia. Her results are "Very Low" as compared to her previous "Very High", so progress in the right direction, but I still have to double up the cleaning: daily fresh litter, 3x wiping her down, 2x wiping the room down, daily laundry, daily fresh/sanitized toys. 😪
