Sloth Day
I spent the day relaxing, taking naps, and finishing the ARC of Tammie Painter's Scales of Justice (book 6 of the Circus of Unusual Creatures series). Spoiler: the book is a lot of fun and I enjoyed it.
Having "sloth days" is an important thing to build into my schedule. I mean, sure, it's not like I'm all that busy anyhow, but I need days where I just sit around and do nothing and (crucially) don't see people at all. Is this a neurodivergence thing? Ha, I'm a 57-year-old woman, so there is zero chance I would have been diagnosed with anything in grade school so we'll never know!
Important Poop Info
We have preliminary results back on the kittens' fecal examination, and at the very least, they have Cystoisospora, which is a protozoan. It certainly fits with their symptoms, so it's probably not just an incidental finding. The version that cats get isn't transmissible to humans, but I probably should bleach my office this weekend to keep the Snack Pack from reinfecting themselves.
And who knows? Maybe the final report will have more fun things to treat. These are the kittens that had roundworms even after they'd been twice treated with antiparasitics that should have taken care of that. I think these kittens just started off with a very high parasitic load.
Obligatory Kitten Picture
Frito says hello.
(I interrupted her in the middle of grooming. That's why she looks so furtive.)

She looks furtive because she is up to something! Don't let grooming fool you! So does fenben handle that protozoan? Or since you probably already did that for the deworming, you have to try something else? How do they get exposed to protozoans? Via mom? Is that via water or alley food that she might get it?
Sloth days are truly important. And the "no people" is probably an introvert thing. I need a lot of time away from people!
