Stereotype Technology and kitty coughs

- I'm currently still obsessed with the vintage metal coffin purses that were around in the 90s. I still have my large black one, but I am scouring eBay, Etsy, poshmark, shopgoodwill, and anywhere else to find the smaller, shiny silver one. Alas, nothing is turning up.

- However, having compared the empty weight of the small vintage leather purse I've been carrying against the empty weight of the black metal coffin purse, the coffin weighs slightly less.

- Which means I spent tonight making a new lining for it. In pink crushed velvet, because of course I have pink crushed velvet.

Part of this is to distract myself. Miss Erzabet No Biting has been having coughing spells over the past few days; as if she's about to cough up a hairball, but doesn't. Dr. Google says it could be irritation due to the appalling quality of the air, but it could be other, more serious things! (I know, I know, don't google symptoms, that way lies anxiety.) So on Sat. morning, the Stroppy One is calling the vet, and we will subject the poor girl to a stressful visit sometime this week. Erzabet is terrified of the car and the vet, and has preemptive Xanax for those situations.

Miss Erzabet No Biting went to the emergency vet today because of coughing and breathing problems. They think it’s asthma. She’s staying overnight in the oxygen cage, and starting bronchial dilators and steroids. Fingers crossed she gets to come home on Sunday, and not spend another night there.

A thing I learned today: when a vet asks if we authorize CPR in a crisis or do we want a DNR note in her chart, my brain locks and blue-screens. He reassured us that a crisis isn't likely, but it's a question they have to ask.
