Brought to you by my little rubber duckie.

Warren the Feline Despot was mighty ill with a cold last night and this morning, to the point of having no interest in his water or food dishes. I wanted to make sure he got some fluid, but I don't own an eyedropper or a turkey baster. However, I do have several rubber duckies with holes in the bottom, so I filled a couple and squeezed the water into the kitty's mouth. He didn't seem to appreciate my ingenuity.

The update from the vet said he had resumed eating on his own by noon, after infusion with fluids and antibiotics. I dropped him off this morning and should be able to bring him home tonight. So now we'll both feel better.
