The glitz and trashiness that is an Indian restaraunt - Little India, East Village.
The Piss Crusader struck again this morning, and the litterbox wasn’t dirty. It’s not a huge crisis because I have a vinyl matress cover on the couch, it just involves taking the slipcover off and rinsing that out, but it has still made me late for work twice this week. I’m at my wit’s end, so I called the vet and made an appointment for Friday afternoon. Maybe he has a urinary tract infection that is making him do this. He has lost a lot of weight recently, it could be a bug. And when they have UTIs, cats will often piss in inappropriate places to get your attention.
If I find out the little fucker isn’t sick, though, and he has not only pissed on my couch but made me spend money on a trip to the vet, I am going to open a can of whoopass on him. Rick has told me that I’ve been a lot more patient than he would have been (did I mention that the couch is only a year old?), and I guess that’s because Jesse is really sweet 99.9% of the time - when he’s not pissing on the couch. But if the vet can’t provide any answers, it might be time for a parting of the ways. If it comes to that, Rick has promised to take us to North Shore, which is a no-kill shelter. I don’t want Jess being put down just because he pees in inappropriate places. Maybe they’ll have a solution that I don’t.
So why do I feel all this premature guilt?
