poor guy…
Gage woke up coughing. No surprise really, once it starts getting cold he tends to get a cough and keep it most of the winter. He takes after his mother. He threw up, but I figured it was from coughing so I started getting him ready for school… then, while he was just sitting on the couch, he bolted for the bathroom and threw up again. No coughing or anything like that that might have caused it. So he’s home from school today. So far he’s thrown up 4 times. You can tell he doesn’t feel well when he doesn’t try to run outside when I let the dog out, he just stays on the couch and watches Star Wars. Poor little. He’s being a real cuddle bug today, too. I wish I had some children’s pepto to give him… He doesn’t seem warm or anything, just apparently having tummy trouble. He ate the lunch I packed him for school about an hour ago, and threw it up 20 minutes later. It breaks my heart. Even Poe knows, which is cute as hell. Gage was laying on the couch, looking kinda dazed for a while earlier and Poe came up and laid with him, just like he’s always done with me or Woddy when we’ve been sick. He’s a good kitty.
Speaking of good kitties… there’s a black cat that wanders the neighborhood, he’s getting food somewhere cause he’s got some meat on his bones. It’s funny, Poe is a black cat, but he’s part siamese. Seeing this tlack american short hair in contrast with Poe, the difference is astonishing. Poes face is more angular, the others face is rounder. Poe’s fur is very sleek and shiny, the others doesn’t have a sheen (though it’s very soft). Poe is smaller and thinner, this cat is big (taller, too). And the other cat has all of his teeth, LOL. Anyhoo, we were at the bus stop yesterday, and he walked right up to us. He rubbed against my legs and then against Gage’s legs, and Gage promptly sat down and grabbed him and then laid on him the way he does with Ziggy and Poe. The cat didn’t mind, in fact he was purring. When the bus came, Gage got up and got on the bus, and the cat got a little more petting from me after the bus left. Sweet cat.
