Harlee had diarrhea all over my mom's bedroom today. My mom asked me if it was a one-shot deal, and I said that I didn't know. We both agreed that Harlee's litter box, which is downstairs, is too far away for her, and there's no place to put one upstairs. So Harlee is going to be confined downstairs. Neither of us like this, but we don't see much choice in the matter. I suggested putting comforters over the living room sofa to make a nice "nest" for Harlee, and we'll see if she likes it.

However, we got Harlee to go downstairs by my mom pretending to go to bed, and I closed her in the "TV room," and we put up the gate. Then we opened the door of the TV room. Harlee managed to squeeze through a 2.75 inch space in the gate and ran upstairs. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it.

We have one gate that's cat-proof. (It's Zara-proof, and believe me, she's tried to get through it, and Harlee is bigger than Zara.) I'm trying to find another one, but it's older and not so easy. Linens N' Things has one online, but I'm going to go to a store tomorrow to see if they have it there. I found another one that would work that costs *cough* $150 *cough*, but I'm going to try to find the cheaper one first.

I found Harlee's meds (for IBS), and need to start giving them to her again.

I haven't gotten a thing done that I planned to get done today....
