Evan had a very rough weekend with constipation, yet again thanks to his megacolon. Well, he more so had a rough Monday through Friday last week, and then on Saturday he finally managed to fully evacuate that troublesome colon of his. It took some increased doses of Miralax and all that jazz, but I always call it a win if I don't have to give him an at-home enema, which we've managed to avoid for over a year now. Some days are much rougher than others, but we always manage to get through it.
My favorite part is how relieved, happy, and relaxed Evan is after managing to rid himself of that constipation. The photo below was him after doing just that on Saturday, and he was purring quite loudly as I snapped this.

Tip of the Day
We are continuing our tips relating to ferals and other outdoor cats in the cold winter months. Today's tip is a more general one, and it relates to the fact that animals seek out warm places to sleep when it is cold outside. For example, cats and kittens, and other small animals, might climb up under the hood of a car that has recently been driven since the engine will be warm. For this reason, especially when it is cold outside, honk, clap, or tap on your car's hood before starting it. This will give a warning to any animals who might have sought shelter there and will give them time to find safety elsewhere. It is of course perfectly possible that no animals will be sleeping under the hood of your car, but in case a cat or other animal is, making noise before you start your car will help ensure that they get out of harm's way.
