We cleaned a bit.

We cleaned a bit. I didn't do a marathon cleaning day like I normally do on the weekends, but it helped.

I think I'm about to have to get back on my list bullshit. There is no one so aimless as a Blu without a list. 😂

I'm about to go clean our bathroom and then shower. This is going to sound super gross (and it is), but Balthazar has been shitting in the tub since we moved him upstairs (so for a few months now). It's better than when he was having diarrhea on the carpet downstairs. He's on meds and his poops look a lot better (and are more firm), but I wake up and clean the tub, go up during the day and clean the tub, and also clean it before I go to bed.

I don't mind. I don't see it as any different than when your parents or grandparents are at the end of their lives and need help in that area. I never scold him because if he felt ok with using the litter box, he would. This is just how the end of life goes. It's not easy or pretty, and it's often messy and a lot of work. But I'd rather have my cat than an always-clean tub. At least until he's ready to go.

I took this video yesterday. Balthi is clearly not ready to go. He's always done the "rub down your leg and flip at your feet" for as long as I can remember. I'm glad I got it on video because it's just too cute. He's a sweet old man. ❤️
