Okay, this post is going to get really disgusting. Consider yourself WARNED…
This afternoon I polished off the watermelon with this new-to-me flavor of Vitamin Water. This is my new favorite drink!
Early afternoon I had 2 pieces of bread with peanut butter. Well, not just any peanut butter…
Peanut Butter & Co. sent me a few of their flavors to try. I died a little when I opened the box. Might Maple PB is better than anything ever. Ever. Buy it and consider your life significantly better for having tried this.
Then, it was time for Vegas’ 2nd vet appointment of the week. I took him in on Saturday after he got in a bad cat fight. Turns out one of his scratches got infected and needed to be lanced and all this other stuff that I don’t want to re-live.
I had to leave him there for a few hours and Ben came with me to pick him up so the vet could show him how to flush the wound (as I threatened to barf on their exam table if I had to do it).
In further proof that it’s my fate to be fat, I still had a big appetite for dinner…
Gross pictures are below, ditch out here if you are eating.
Now Vegas has a tube in his arm and stiches. It needs to be washed out twice a day and he has anti-biotics. This cat is named Vegas because I lose all my money when he’s around – not because I hit the jackpot with an awesome cat 
It’s disgusting, but there is a lesson we can all benefit from here…
Don’t get in cat fights! Noted.

I love PB & Co–especially dark chocolate dreams. To die for!
Surprisingly, I’m not the biggest fan of that flavor! It’s the weirdest thing because I’m a chocolate girl all the way!
I have to agree with this. I love chocolate, so I do keep buying it every now and then to re-try, but I am always disappointed! It’s not chocolately enough, I think. (It’s like when your mom keeps encouraging you to take “just one bite” of broccoli every time she serves it in the hope that you’ll eventually like it. Except it’s chocolate pb, not broccoli.)
YES! Every time I’m tempted to get a chocolate PB or AB I stop myself because I remember it’s just disappointing. I want it to be amazing, but it’s just not. I’ve even tried the dark chocolate almond butter and it’s not that great…
I’m so sorry to hear about Vegas. Poor thing! Heal soon, buddy.
Ahhh poor kitty, hope he gets better soon.
I know those draining tubes look awful and flushing them out won’t be fun but he will heal up fast. Vegas is a true fighter!
The cartoon you included in your post? Awesome!
I had to scroll past the tube pics. I am a huge baby! I would barf if I had to drain tubes too.
Dude I want mighty maple all over my face, I mean waffles.
I am surprised I haven’t made myself a Might Maple facial yet…
Awe, poor vegas! It’s so hard to look at your cat when they are like that! You just feel so bad for them.
I have a little orange kitty too and she looked like that after she got an infection from nursing kittens for too long. They shaved her whole body though and she looked like she had ugg boots, a lion mane and a poodle tail! It was seriously SO expensive.. the things we do for our pets!
Hopefully Vegas gets better!
Thanks Danielle
Sorry it happened to your kitty too, but I am digging the Ugg boots look comparison
Poor kitty
Poor Vegas
I hope he has a speedy recovery.
Awww poor Vegas! How long does he have to be like that?
Three days
poor cat!! I’m so glad he wasn’t hurt worse!
OMG! Poor Vegas. Is he in any pain? I hope he feels better soon and you too. I hate it when our cats get hurt.
Poor kitty! I hope he feels better soon
Poor Vegas! Hope he gets better soon.
I am obsessed with mighty maple peanut butter…. so obsessed that I had a dream about it and woke up drooling.
Poor vegas! No wonder he was lethargic. He’s lucky that he has you : D I call my cat my furry money pit. She needed oral surgery last year because her teeth were infected…. she ran me 1100$ over the course of a month! I feel your pain.
Ouch
Oh no!! My heart goes out to Vegas. Poor thing
I’m guessing the doctor shaved off his fur for treatment?
Yeah, they shaved him for the treatment. He looks so weird now.
Poor Vegas!! He’s such a trooper, look how brave he is in his e-collar
Poor booboo! I hope he has a quick and speedy recovery! For both of your sakes! The tube thing just looks painful…..
hope Vegas feels better asap…i know just how important the fur-kids can be!
I need to get my hands on a jar of that maple pb!!!
I just tried the new Blood Orange flavor of Vita water. It was good but not as good as I was expecting. The Watermelon sounds great! Oh, poor Vegas!!
Hope she feels better.
Poor Vegas! It’s too bad I’m not around, I worked at a vet all through high school and flushing wounds is just one of my many skills.
You would be my life saver if you were close by!
Poor Vegas! I hope he gets better really soon. I’ll have to look for the Mighty Maple flavor; I like White chocolate Wonderful, but I didn’t really like the Dark Chocolate Dreams. I’m much more of a Nutella girl!
I didn’t like the Dark Choc either?! Nutella is totally better
Awww poor Vegas! I’m sure he’ll heal really fast, and be back to his usual self. I’m sorry it’s so expensive though. My dog swallowed part of her chew toy once and it cost me 400 dollars, and tons of trips to the vet to get her fixed up. I’d pay for it again though if I had to.
Poor little bear! He’ll be fine, though. We had outdoor cats growing up so we saw our share of tubes and injuries. My kitties now are indoor cats so their lives are a bit less adventurous than Vegas’s!
oooohhh — I am not a cat person yet find myself tear-eyed! Poor kitty!!!
Aww, poor guy! The pix didn’t bother me, but then again I used to work in a vet’s office (I’ve also been present for lancings — blecch, not pleasant!!).
You used to work in a vet’s office?! Very cool
poor vegas. . . it’s so hard to see your ‘baby’ hurt like that! On a brighter note – I have to try that maple pb – OMG sounds so yummy!
Poor Vegas : ( That looks like one pretty serious cat fight. Good job he has nurse Ben to take care of him.
Maple peanut butter? That sounds so good that it would be dangerous. Even if I hid all the spoons in the house, I could still stick a finger or three into the jar.
Yes, the Maple PB is dangerous! So so good!!!
Poor Vegas!! Hope he`s feeling better soon
Wish i could find that peanut butter here
OH! Your poor baby.
That’s awful. I’m glad you were ontop of it and took him in asap. I hope kitty heals fast.
Poor Vegas! I couldn’t look at the pictures though. When people tell a squeamish me to not look, I have to pay attention!
Dark Chocolate Dreams is the best of the Peanut Butter & Co. Which is weird, because I hate dark chocolate. I LOVE white chocolate, but I didn’t like their white chocolate version. Definitely odd!
Oh poor Vegas!!!
, hope he feels better soon!
Aw, poor kitty! It’s hard seeing your pets in that state.
But oh my god, I love Peanut Butter & Co. I haven’t tried the maple one yet. I have tried Justin’s maple peanut butter though. By far, maple and peanut butter combined are my favorite.
Aww, poor little guy. It’s amazing what we will do for our pets.
I had a guinea pig that had a cyst burst. I had to give her antibiotics and flush her cyst for almost 2 months.
TWO MONTHS! a GUINEA PIG!
But dangit if she wasn’t the sweetest thing. I couldn’t help but what to help her.
That guinea pig sounded like a lot of trouble, but I totally “get it”
I hope Vegas feels better soon! My dog got into a fight with our neighbor’s German Shepard a few weeks ago (pretty one sided actually…guess who won) and had to get stitches and a tube inserted as well to protect against infection. He is feeling much better now, so it will only be a matter of time before Vegas does, too!
A German Shepard came out of no where and scared me half to death last week. I’m not partial to them these days
1- bad idea to read this during lunch
2- mighty mapes is my favorite flavor of PB ever
I am obsessed with that water as well! so yummy!!
Poor Vegas! I hate seeing animals in pain
mmmm Mighty Maple! Maple Alomnd/Peanut butter is ALWAYS MY FAVORITE!
Poor poor Vegas, hard to look at, I feel bad for him
