More cat problems

bookzombieOur cat-related luck is not very good at the moment.
Having lost Willow only a couple of months ago, Josie is now at the vets overnight having some tests done. We noticed a couple of days ago that her stomach was looking distended and I got away from the office early this afternoon to have her checked.
The vet says that her abdomen is full of liquid. It isn't causing her any pain, but off the top of her (the vets) head it could be three things:
A heart problem
A liver problem
A tumour
None of these are exactly good news. So they will take some blood tests, do an ultrasound and, if absolutely necessary, do a biopsy.
We should find out tomorrow what the diagnosis is, but we're not feeling terribly optimistic right now. Luckily we've got the dress rehearsal for the concert tonight so it should stop up brooding about it too much.
(You know, sometimes I feel that I'm only posting these days if there is bad news or I'm moaning about something. I'll try and do better in the future...)
