Gwen did her first 'unassisted' pee this morning. Unfortunately, not in a litter box

Oh well. Progress none the less. Today we will work on litter box training and eating slurry off of a dish.

That reminds of the time, many, many moons ago, that I told a friend at work that I felt like I had kitty litter in my underwear and she said "you're not supposed to use the litter box" and I said "then how else am I supposed to teach my cat how to use it?" None of it true, of course, but we had a good laugh.

I saw my therapist and did some grocery shopping so I think that pretty much shows I was a little bit productive. There is a nap in my near future.
