It's Twozday!
However, we only have Chili Bruce today, as he wasn't feeling well yesterday.
CB, napping after refusing brekkie.
He'd coughed up a hairball, and foamed at the mouth for a some time after, and wouldn't eat.
More alert in the afternoon.
However, Chili ate most of his dinner hours later, so we feel he's back up to snuff.
Will keep our eyes on him anyhow, just in case.
Since I'd found a dead stink bug just as all of this started, it's possible that CB chewed on it, and reacted to the secretions of the insect.
Dr. Google says drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea can result from a cat eating a stink bug, but the symptoms go away on their own, and to contact the vet if the cat shows signs of pain or is still sick after 24 hours.
Stink bug pic from the interwebs, and this is a pretty good match to the corpse that I found.
Since Chili only chewed on the thing instead of ingesting it, it seems he escaped more onerous symptoms.
P.S. Manny managed to eat up CB's breakfast, as the non-eaten bowl was set aside as the humans fussed with the sick cat.
I'd set the bowl on the counter, but neglected to close the kitchen screen door, so Manny took advantage of an additional snack.
❤️ Update: CB was purrfectly normal this morning. ❤️
😹 😹 😹
We have a lot of them in our garden, but we don't eat them, Faye knows that they stink when she holds them under her paw, so she's not into them either..yikes...Healing Pawkisses to feel better soon, Chili Bruce🙏🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteWell while one of them was being sick the other one was having a double breakfast, lol. I wonder if they were in cahoots together. We have those stink bugs all over the outside of our house and thank goodness Precious is not interested in them.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear this! Always a worry when our "babies" is not up to par.
ReplyDeleteOh Chili Bruce ~ do feel better soon and stay away from the Stink Bugs or any bugs really ~ hugs,

ReplyDeleteI'm glad Chili Bruce is doing better! Those stink bugs are awful.
ReplyDeleteI am glad CB is feeling a lot better now. I don't think we have stink bugs here.
ReplyDeleteGlad CB is OK. I don't like those bugs as they sneak in the house. XO
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed sound like CB had a bit of entomological food poisoning.
ReplyDeleteWe have those here, too. I'm always careful if I find them first to get them out of the house without letting them set off their stink.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better! Stink bugs are yucky :(
