Update to last blog · 4:46am Feb 24th, 2021
Okay so, good news is that the cats seem to be recovering from their colds. Perhaps I overreacted a bit, but with experiences like mine it can't be considered too much of a surprise, and with how frail Reeses seems a times I especially couldn't help it. Thankfully I've managed to convince a vet trip for her sometime within the next few months, which is more than I've convinced before, so that's good. Going to have to pay for it myself though, so I might be pushing my commissions a bit more.
Anyway, I have some not so great news too. Not about the cats, but about my hamster. If you recall, I said this about him in my last blog:
You know what's especially bad? I don't even have any emotional attachment to Gizmo! I want to, I really want to, but I just can't. Gizmo is just there, and because of that I feel like I neglect him but if I don't take care of him than no one else will.
It... Wasn't entirely true. Because today he was found lethargic in his cage, and I had to take an emergency trip to the vet for him (Still surprised and thankful I could convince anyone to take me). Unfortunately, due to the fact we have no idea how old he is since we found him at the side of the road last year, the vet couldn't be entirely sure what was wrong with him, but he gave me antibiotics to try and see if they help.
Gizmo was a bit more active after the first dose, though I can't say it makes me too hopeful. He could be old and worn out and it could just be his time, I just don't know. So I'll see how that goes.
But, yeah, thought it was worth saying something in case anyone was worried. The cats are most likely okay for now, and though I don't know what to expect for Gizmo, I can at least feel better knowing I gave him a better home than whoever it was that abandoned him at the side of the road. At this point, whatever happens, happens.
I really don't have any good pictures of him, sorry.
Things just really don't want to go well right now, do they? For anyone even.
Is it weird that I'm not too torn up about this, as opposed to the cats? I mean, I'm still sad, but not a panicky mess. Maybe I was just expecting this to happen eventually, and here we are.

That's actually a pic from when I first found him, he was much more wiggly then, not so much now since he's not feeling well. Stepdad did say he was looking a bit greyer though, so I suppose that's something I'll have to check tomorrow.
Dang rodents and their short lifespans, why they gotta hurt me like this?
