We now return to Barefoot in the Park...

Mungo has been stuck of his own volition in the basement for a couple of months now, so we decided to take him outdoors to enjoy a warm autumn day. Once we realized he'd gone deaf we understood better why he would want to be in highly controlled circumstances like his basement studio apartment, but with both of us there and the excellent camouflage of leaves to keep him safe, we thought it might be acceptable. He wasn't as freaked out as we thought he might be, though it might be overkill to say he "enjoyed" it:





Later, a package arrived containing aluminum hydroxide powder, which is a type of antacid and phosphorus binder that is regarded as better than other similar medicines for cats with kidney disease. I got it because he had started rejecting food with the Epakitin mixed in, and he seems to know when something isn't treating him right. After the excitement in the yard, Mungo got his first couple of doses of the AH and *incredibly*, seems to be feeling better already. So maybe there are a few more sunny days out in the big wide world in store for him. I hope so.

Big day for the orange kitty.
