Something I Never Thought I'd Buy...

...a pack of newborn-sized diapers.

OK, OK, now just relax. I haven't changed my mind about never procreating (phew!).

In fact, the diapers are for Miss Muffin, since her Stage 4 kidney disease (so sad...) has recently left her slightly incontinent. My wonderful Mr. E did a search for kitty diapers and discovered this link (the first video is a must-see), so we figured we'd give it a try.

Of course, it's a bit tricky to figure out what size baby diaper will fit a 7-lb cat, since the diapers aren't in S, M, L, sizes but rather categorized by weight. Is a newborn baby "up to 10 lbs" really the same size as our little black-and-white furball? Umm... well... not exactly.

But close enough will have to do for now.
