The immediate verdict? I was going to say it has been mainly a victory with him only whizzing on the floor twice because Somara reduced his dosage both times, but he peed again this morning. Either he’s building a tolerance to the drugs, Somara didn’t give him any/enough or Molly has honed her ability to frame Nemo.
Side effects beyond a reduction in whiz? Nemo has lost a little weight, he has gotten lazy about grooming his fur, he tends to sleep in (no more banging on things, demanding breakfast at 4-5 AM) and he requests a boost on to the bed. I suppose the latter affair means he has become docile. Nemo isn’t completely sedated. He has the strength to wrestle Somara when it’s pill time and monkey hour occurs at night. The other cats also have to wait for breakfast since it seems they depended upon him to be the instigator; Molly, Miette and Kuroneko lack the nerve to bang on the shades or knock down objects to wake us up. They’ve done it before, they just don’t do it on a regular basis like Nemo.
Somara and I need to speak to the vet before the medication runs out. My vote is “keep him on it.” The urinating must stop completely. At least Nemo didn’t show he was in the aggressive minority, then we’d be in a crisis over what to do.
