I just got off the phone with the vet and guess what? That damn cat of mine ain't even ill! She just got the results of the lab in, and there are no traces of any infection to be found, even though the urinary sample showed all visual signs of infection. The conclusion is that he is/was suffering from FLUTD (see previous posts for links) and/or stress.
The drugs he's on seem to be helping - he's walking around with a big silly grin on his face all day long - as there are little to no accidents anymore in the past couple of days. The vet says to continue the antibiotics till I run out and keep up the Cystease doses for a while longer and over time lower them. Right now he get's a tablet a day so around the end of November I'll to cut that back to 1 every 48 hours, and see if that works too. The story ain't over yet, but at least we're heading in the right direction.

Nothing to do with Tai, but DAMN man, did I ever have the nicest dream about you last night. Visit my dreams more often, you tower of love!
HAHAHAhaha! Hey, at least we're both getting some action in my dreams, right?

Speaking of wetkitten: Whisky (the male one of the new ones) is exercising with his water bowl too... wonder how long it will take before he can turn it over and splash it all around... wonder if it has some thing to do with the 'male' part???

I sure hope not, Marianne. If Menzo or D. start playing with their water as well, you'll be needing a life raft soon ;-)

Stripke was good with her water bowl so Whiskey didn't get that from his mommy :-p
The only thing she did was drink from MY glass of water instead of HER water bowl :-/
ServMe, it's good to hear no sign if infection is found in Tai's urine anymore and that he is getting better.
