Bailey is going to the Vet Tomorrow @ 1030 for vaccinations and his annual examination.
I'm hoping the vet has some other suggestions for his indoor spraying and other litter box issues.
I think Bailey has been depressed since loosing his brother Jake. They were inseparable for the past 13 years,
! more in comments.
UPDATE:
Bailey had his exam, vaccinations and some blood tests. The vet will call me with the results later.
We will continue the clomicalm but instead of 1/4 pill 2 times a day we wii try 1/2 pill at night.
We will change his kd dry food to Calm www.nationalpetpharmacy.com/product/51833/Royal-Canin-Vet... dry food. It has trytophan in it among other calming agents.
As others have suggested I DO give Bailey a lot of alone time with me.
I sleep with him every night when I am not working overnights and he purrs and purrs...
The vet said to try the clomicalm at night and try the diet change.
If this doesn't help he may change medications.
I hope this Calm food won't be given to the detriment of his kidneys as he was on KD food before and is on the Fortakor.
We are all distressed at the moment...
Vet just called. All Bailey's blood values were "good."
Kidney function improved from last year but still a bit elevated. Not enough to change from the Calm diet back to KD.

The Tetrarchs of Constantinople – origin, journey to Venice, and archaeological facts
Origin and iconography
The sculpture of the four Roman emperors was carved around the year 300, during the Tetrarchy, from an exceptionally valuable material – Egyptian red porphyry, reserved for imperial representations.
It depicts two pairs of rulers in a symbolic, ceremonial embrace, emphasizing the idea of unity and harmonious rule rather than individual portraiture.
Original location in Constantinople
The monument was originally installed at the Philadelphion, a central and highly symbolic square of Constantinople.
It formed part of the representative imperial urban landscape celebrating the continuity and stability of the Roman Empire.
The looting of 1204 and arrival in Venice
During the Fourth Crusade (1204), the Venetians took numerous works of art from the sacked Constantinople, among them the Tetrarchs.
Today the sculpture is embedded in the southeastern exterior corner of St Mark’s Basilica – recognizable by the contrast between the dark porphyry and the light Venetian marble.
Damage and archaeological discoveries
The figure on the far right was missing its left foot and ankle. During a medieval restoration the missing part was replaced with pink porphyry, which clearly differs from the original.
In 1965, during German-Turkish excavations at the Philadelphion in Istanbul, the lost original foot fragment was discovered.
It is now kept in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul.
This confirmed the sculpture’s provenance and its relocation after 1204.
The head of Justinian I and Venetian legends
A porphyry head of Emperor Justinian I once stood on the upper balcony of the basilica – also brought from Constantinople after the Fourth Crusade.
It is now preserved in the Procuratie of St Mark’s.
In Venetian popular tradition this head was often mistakenly identified with that of Francesco Bussone da Carmagnola (executed in 1432 on St Mark’s Square), and later with the legendary Fornaretto, a young man who, according to legend, was unjustly executed.
The “Stone of Proclamation” (Pietra del Bando)
At the very corner of the basilica is the so-called Stone of Proclamation, on which – according to 15th-century records – the severed heads of traitors of the Republic were displayed for three days and three nights as a warning to passers-by.
This tradition likely contributed to later confusion regarding the identity of the porphyry head.

I Tetrarchi di Costantinopoli – origine, arrivo a Venezia e fatti archeologici
Origine e iconografia
La scultura dei quattro imperatori romani fu scolpita intorno all’anno 300, durante la tetrarchia, in un materiale estremamente prezioso – il porfido rosso egiziano, riservato alle rappresentazioni imperiali.
Raffigura due coppie di sovrani in un abbraccio simbolico e cerimoniale, sottolineando l’idea di unità e di governo concorde, piuttosto che un ritratto individuale.
Collocazione originaria a Costantinopoli
Il monumento era originariamente collocato presso il Philadelphion, una piazza centrale e altamente simbolica di Costantinopoli.
Faceva parte dell’urbanistica imperiale celebrativa della continuità e stabilità dell’Impero romano.
Il saccheggio del 1204 e l’arrivo a Venezia
Durante la Quarta Crociata (1204) i veneziani portarono via numerose opere d’arte dalla Costantinopoli saccheggiata, tra cui i Tetrarchi.
Oggi la scultura è inserita nell’angolo sud-orientale esterno della Basilica di San Marco – riconoscibile dal contrasto tra il porfido scuro e il chiaro marmo veneziano.
Danni e scoperte archeologiche
Alla figura all’estrema destra mancavano il piede sinistro e la caviglia. Durante un restauro medievale la parte mancante fu integrata con porfido rosato, chiaramente diverso dall’originale.
Nel 1965, durante gli scavi tedesco-turchi presso il Philadelphion di Istanbul, fu ritrovato il frammento originale del piede perduto.
Oggi è conservato nel Museo Archeologico di Istanbul.
Ciò ha confermato la provenienza della scultura e il suo trasferimento dopo il 1204.
La testa di Giustiniano I e le leggende veneziane
Sul balcone superiore della basilica si trovava un tempo una testa in porfido dell’imperatore Giustiniano I – anch’essa portata da Costantinopoli dopo la Quarta Crociata.
Oggi è conservata nelle Procuratie di San Marco.
Nella tradizione popolare veneziana questa testa veniva spesso identificata erroneamente con quella di Francesco Bussone da Carmagnola (giustiziato nel 1432 in Piazza San Marco) e più tardi con quella del leggendario Fornaretto, giovane che secondo la leggenda fu ingiustamente condannato a morte.
La “Pietra del Bando”
Proprio all’angolo della basilica si trova la cosiddetta Pietra del Bando, sulla quale – secondo registri del XV secolo – venivano esposte per tre giorni e tre notti le teste mozzate dei traditori della Repubblica, come monito ai passanti.
Questa tradizione ha probabilmente alimentato la successiva confusione riguardo all’identità della testa in porfido.

Les Tétrarques de Constantinople – origine, arrivée à Venise et faits archéologiques
Origine et iconographie
La sculpture des quatre empereurs romains a été réalisée vers l’an 300, à l’époque de la tétrarchie, dans un matériau extrêmement précieux – le porphyre rouge d’Égypte, réservé aux représentations impériales.
Elle montre deux paires de souverains dans une étreinte symbolique et cérémonielle, soulignant l’idée d’unité et de gouvernement harmonieux plutôt qu’un portrait individuel.
Emplacement originel à Constantinople
Le monument se trouvait à l’origine au Philadelphion, une place centrale et hautement symbolique de Constantinople.
Il faisait partie de l’urbanisme impérial visant à célébrer la continuité et la stabilité de l’Empire romain.
Le pillage de 1204 et l’arrivée à Venise
Lors de la Quatrième Croisade (1204), les Vénitiens emportèrent de nombreuses œuvres d’art de Constantinople mise à sac, dont les Tétrarques.
Aujourd’hui, la sculpture est intégrée dans l’angle sud-est extérieur de la basilique Saint-Marc, reconnaissable par le contraste entre le porphyre sombre et le marbre vénitien clair.
Dommages et découvertes archéologiques
La figure la plus à droite avait perdu son pied gauche et sa cheville. Lors d’une restauration médiévale, la partie manquante fut remplacée par du porphyre rose, nettement différent de l’original.
En 1965, lors de fouilles germano-turques au Philadelphion à Istanbul, le fragment original du pied perdu fut retrouvé.
Il est aujourd’hui conservé au Musée archéologique d’Istanbul.
Cette découverte a confirmé l’origine de la sculpture et son déplacement après 1204.
La tête de Justinien Ier et les légendes vénitiennes
Une tête en porphyre de l’empereur Justinien Ier se trouvait autrefois sur le balcon supérieur de la basilique – elle aussi apportée de Constantinople après la Quatrième Croisade.
Elle se trouve aujourd’hui dans les Procuraties de Saint-Marc.
Dans la tradition populaire vénitienne, cette tête fut souvent confondue avec celle de Francesco Bussone da Carmagnola (exécuté en 1432 sur la place Saint-Marc), puis avec celle du légendaire Fornaretto, un jeune homme qui, selon la légende, fut injustement condamné.
La “Pierre du Ban” (Pietra del Bando)
À l’angle même de la basilique se trouve la soi-disant Pierre du Ban, sur laquelle – selon des documents du XVe siècle – les têtes coupées des traîtres de la République étaient exposées pendant trois jours et trois nuits, en guise d’avertissement aux passants.
Cette tradition a probablement contribué à la confusion ultérieure concernant l’identité de la tête en porphyre.

Venecija. 27.III.2010. Carigradski tetrarsi – podrijetlo, put u Veneciju i arheološke činjenice Podrijetlo i ikonografija Skulptura četiri rimska cara isklesana je oko 300. godine u vrijeme tetrarhije, izuzetno vrijednim materijalom – egipatskim crvenim porfirom, rezerviranim za carske prikaze. Prikazuje dva para vladara u simboličnom, ceremonijalnom zagrljaju, naglašavajući ideju zajedništva i složne vladavine, a ne individualni portret. Izvorna lokacija u Konstantinopolisu Spomenik je izvorno bio postavljen kod Philadelphiona, središnjeg i vrlo simboličnog trga Konstantinopolisa. Bio je dio reprezentativnog carskog urbanizma kojim su se slavili kontinuitet i stabilnost Rimskog Carstva. Pljačka 1204. i dolazak u Veneciju Tijekom Četvrtog križarskog pohoda (1204.) Venecijanci su odnijeli brojne umjetnine iz opljačkanog Konstantinopolisa, među njima i Tetrarse. Danas se skulptura nalazi ugrađena u vanjski jugoistočni kut Bazilike sv. Marka – karakteristična po kontrastu tamnog porfira i svijetlog venecijanskog mramora. Oštećenja i arheološka otkrića Na figuri sasvim desno nedostajalo je lijevo stopalo i gležanj. Tijekom srednjovjekovne restauracije nedostatak je nadomješten ružičastim porfirom, koji jasno odudara od originala. 1965. godine, tijekom njemačko-turskih iskapanja kod Philadelphiona u Istanbulu, pronađen je izgubljeni originalni komad stopala. Danas se čuva u Arheološkom muzeju u Istanbulu. Time je potvrđeno izvorište skulpture i njezino premještanje nakon 1204. Glava Justinijana I. i venecijanske legende Na gornjem balkonu bazilike nekad se nalazila porfirna glava cara Justinijana I. – također donijeta iz Konstantinopola nakon Četvrtog križarskog pohoda. Danas se čuva u Prokurativama sv. Marka. U venecijanskoj pučkoj tradiciji ova se glava često pogrešno poistovjećivala s glavom Francesca Bussonea da Carmagnole (pogubljen 1432. na Trgu sv. Marka), kasnije i s legendarnim Fornarettom, mladićem koji je, prema legendi, nepravedno pogubljen. „Kamen ugovora“ (Pietra del Bando) Na samom kutu bazilike nalazi se i tzv. kamen ugovora, na koji su – prema zapisima iz 15. stoljeća – na tri dana i tri noći bile izlagane odrubljene glave izdajnika Republike kao opomena prolaznicima. Ova tradicija je vjerojatno potaknula kasniju zbrku oko identiteta porfirne glave.
