[Magdalen] Sad about sick cat

[Scott Knitter]

She's not eating again this morning, but they did say she might need
another round of the shots again today. And ongoing appetite stimulator
half an hour before mealtimes.

I need to do my job, too! Was hoping not to have to visit the vet today.
We'll see what they say on the phone when the pancreatitis results come in.

Ideally, she would just need her appetite boosted, either for a few weeks
or months, or always. It certainly worked for her last night. Ravenous
kitty!
