Izzy suffers from epilepsy.
She's on medication for it, and we have to try and give it to her at exactly the right time. For a couple of years now she has been on 2 tablet, twice a day, 12 hours apart. We usuallly do this at 10am and 10pm. She has other tablets as well, and she always gets rewarded with some cat treats afterwards.
Recently the frequency of fits has increased, and we've now had to up her dosage. Looking at the pattern, and after discussion with the Vet, we've had to change her to 3 times a day. To get these evenly spaced out has been quite difficult. We tried 8am, 4pm, 12am. This has meant we're staying up much later than we're used to, and we're having trouble getting up in the morning. [DH is retired and I work from home]
We had a great idea. We'd take Izzy's morning tablets (and treats) upstairs when we went to bed, and then we could give them to her first thing, without having to get up, go downstairs, and fart about. We put them in an egg cup on DH's nightstand.
The first night I drifted off to sleep and woke when I heard a little crinkle. Immediately I knew what it was. It was Izzy treading on the headache tablets that DH keeps on his night stand.
Sure enough, Izzy was helping herself to the treats in the egg cup. Not the tablets, of course, just the treats.
