Patches pissed all over Nick’s new lily-white futon matress yesterday. Somehow it soaked through the matress and even reached the bottom. He’s been inconsistently incontinent the last week and threw up twice over the weekend. I’m bringing him to the vet for a check up to make sure it’s not a bladder infection or sickness. I hope it’s something health related, as opposed to a mental problem, such as fear or nervousness with Dolly running around. That way it can be fixed, whereas a mental problem is much more difficult to cure. Dolly is still attacking him, half playfully and half forcefully, but Patches doesn’t like any of it. He’ll sleep on my bed for protection at night, usually on my ankles but sometimes on my pillow.
