Just when you're about to leave for vacation one of the cats gets sick! ARRGGH!
They just have a way with timing don't they? I think maybe they do it on purpose to try & keep you home. Anyway, poor Zoolou made a yucky deposit in the litter box that had a bit of blood in it so that prompted a call to the vet & luckily I got her in right away (with her stool sample). After an exam & poop test Dr. Bill thinks it's just a bout of colitis. She has a few pills to take & should be fine. Whew!
Silly cat's never been sick a day in her life (aside from hairballs). I was all panicky there for a few hours. I couldn't imagine myself leaving for a whole week knowing my cat was home sick! I always worry about our pets a little even when they're NOT sick! Thankfully, I know she'll be fine & I can enjoy our family vacation. She is not acting sick at all as you can see from the photo! In fact, she & Markie had a pretty wild rough & tumble play session just this morning! Darn cat!
SO...about our vacation! We're headed to a little town called Fish Creek in Door County Wisconsin! Door County is the little peninsula that sticks out on the northeast side with Lake Michigan on the right & Green Bay on the left. It's dotted with quaint little towns all around the coastline & filled with gorgeous state parks & scenery! Hiking, biking, beaches, lighthouses, fish boils, ice cream & relaxing are on our list of to-dos! Oh & eating lots of cherries! Can't wait!

Glad your little sweetie is doing ok! I hope you have fun in WI. My husband is from there and I've always enjoyed our trips to visit.
Wait...did you say FISH Creek??? And you didn't take the kitties?????? We hope you at least brought them back the fishies!
So glad to hear it's nothing serious! I know how scary it can be to see that in the litter box!
Hope you enjoy your vacation, it sounds wonderful!
By the way, I featured your 5 Calicos in a Tub on my blog today. I absolutely love it!!

Hi Jill! Glad sweet Zoolou is better! Enjoy your vacation! Looks like you'll be having tons of fun with all those activities! Thanks so much for your sweet visit! :)
Glad to hear the prognosis is not too worrisome. I wish I could be your kitty's caregiver while you vacation. Have a nice trip and hope all is well at home while you are away. Deb =^..^=x5
Thank you all for your kind words for Zoolou! She is feeling fine! Hugs to all of you!
Fine that Zoolou is better now I hope you enjoy your holidays in fish- creek. I guess Zoolou wouldn´t mind to join you.
It sounds like kitty- heaven.
All the best Janine
