Since the bitch word has yet to be symbolically banned in New York City, I'm going to use it a few times here. Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. Even though Mortimer is neither female or a dog, I'm using bitch in an endearing way. Or something like that.

Anyway, when Mortimer went to the vet recently, we found out that he lost even more weight and is now 5 lbs 14 oz. I think Randolph could eat that much food in one sitting if given the option. It seems like Mort now has some kidney problems (common in abyssinians) in addition to his liver/intestine issues. We're going back to the vet tomorrow for some more tests and to learn how to give him a saline solution. Hopefully that, along with a kidney friendly diet, will help him put on a little heft. Right now, he's just skin and bones. Some might say that he's a 'ripster'.
