Tender Tuesday

Oh my GOODNESS

Mom took all the familiar things out of the bathroom. I have another water dish in there because I am always anxious about water even though my hyperthyroidism is under control and I don't have to drink like I was...I have to have it near.

They are coming, she told me, to refit the bathroom so everything has to be out of there. I want to come and stay with YOU. Too much noise and disturbance. Mom has to get up at 6..even before I make her get up, so that she can let them in to begin by 7:30.

I'm going on strike! I don't like this ONE single bit. I'm gonna hide ALL day!!!

Fearless Friday

I am over being scaredy cat of the Vet now and mom can walk toward me without me running away. My feets is getting tired of that so glad I am over it.

I'm eating better and drinking more so mama isn't a scaredy cat herself. She was wearing me out!

Hope everyone has a furry Friday. I am looking forward to mama's son coming home tonight till tomorrow afternoon. He gives me lotsa kisses and petting. And some tiny pieces of bacon too!

Head bumps and purrs.

Some Pretty Good News

I had a big breakfast this morning. I ate half a can of Fancy Feast! I had a decent drink of fresh water while mama watched. Then, I tried to put the bitey on her! She was trying to get me to play a little, so I showed her who was the winner!

I decided to be quiet yesterday... all 24 hours of it. This morning, I spoke up long about 6am. She was glad to hear it this time!

I thought, "my bloods is good, mom keeps tempting me with my foods and water so maybe I could relent a little". My feets led me to her last night for some snuggles for a little while.

I thanks my kitty friends and 'beans for the good thoughts and prayers. Mom said something strange..she said maybe I turned the corner. Silly mom. I turn corners every day!

an update for me

The Vet called with the results of my very large blood chemistry and profile. He said absolutely nothing wrong was to be found in it..not even for virus's.

This leaves mom and he wondering why on earth I am not hardly eating or drinking. He said he would think on it thru the day and call mom again this late afternoon.

Thank you all for the encouraging purrs, head bumps and thoughts. On the bright side I did crawl into our bed last night and snuggled with my mom for a long time. Since I was diagnosed with Hyper T, I haven't done that too much. It was a sweet gift to us both.

Dear Kitties

Mom says tomorrow she will know more about what is the matter with me. We got to the Vet and very expanded blood profile was done. Mama will hear morein the morning and she and I appreciate s much all concern and love from you. Thank you.

Oh Dear

I am calling out a good deal of the night and for the first time in the day as well. I am going to my doctor tomorrow.

Another not good thing is mom broke out the last of three gel pens with my tapazole meds in a transdermal form and found no dose markings on it. That makes it impossible to dose me correctly. Of course, calls to the Pharmacy in another State went unanswered.

Call me not a happy kitty.

I wasn't weaned yesterday ya know!

Momma has the ol' carrier out in the hallway. Like I don't know what's up! She had the temerity to spray it with some new to her stuff called Feliway in the futile hope of making me less afraid. Yeah. Right. That REALLY gave me a clue that something bad was up!

I overheard her making an appointment for Monday with Dr. H. Momma thinks he is the cat's meow in looks. Me, I think he's great until he picks me up and we go "back there". I always get my claws cut 'cause I won't let mom do it. I can be such a pill. I won't need a blood test but I had an embarrassing mishap during the night so we have to see what's up with that. I may have an anal gland problem. That's embarrassing enough just with that!

So, kitties, I just wanted to ask you to send a few purrs my way. I am a getting anxious. Truth be told, so is she. She dreads the fight we always have at those times to get into the carrier.

Mommeh

Mommeh is fine these past several days. I told her I had places to go, cats to see and scratching posts to try..I just could not go on past that week of intensive care I gave her.

She got out from under my paws and I have my life back.

Her human sons came back from New Zealand last year with a picture of a box for kitten food in one of their stores. At first I was horrified but then I realized that they were trying to say it was kitten food with or made from beef..,not kittens. Mommeh laughed at me.

I am off duty

I told mom to get better and do it now, I have a date with a gorgeous tabby. (yes, he lives 800 or so miles away from me, but a girl can dream, can't she"? His name is Emmit.

I have to get ready.

I am on Call

I'm still taking care of mom.

Poor Mama

Good thing I took such good care of her! She woke up not coughing as much as usual and she slept 10 hours because she had to go to sleep at 8:30 last night she was so exceedingly tired. Today though she coughed and coughed last night, she has hardly coughed BUT her throat started getting sore on one side.

That worried her a little with the onset of a symptom so suddenly, so she took herself off to the Urgent Care clinic where you just walk in and wait. Three hours she sat sandwiched with an entire waiting room full of folks. Three hours later and after a swab for strep, mama found she has a virus, upper respiratory and that she is still contagious. She got a prescription for a cough preparation and will return to the drug store for it. She was perishing for her lunch after such a meager breakfast and I was sending her subliminal messages to come home!!! So, she has eaten, drinking a ginger ale and me, I am meowing and typing this.

Oh Noes!

I had to try to take care of my mama yesterday and last night for sure. She had been coughing non stop all day and last night after we got in bed, she just coughed and coughed and coughed. Usually I don't like disturbance but after she turned out the light, I snugged into my usual place of into her neck with my head in there and the rest of me resting on her shoulder and upper arm.

I was rocked like a small boat in a storm, she coughed so much. But I stayed steady and was her warm loving nurse all night long.

Even though I have not been very good about going to bed with her since i was diagnosed with my illness and while I am having allergy skin problems, her need outweighed my needs and so I stayed with her..she would have done the same for me.

The Vet

You know, I can see it in mama's eyes..she is going to get that horrible carrier out again and place it in the hallway. She always hopes that I will get used to seeing it for a few days and not get too concerned. Oh,I act alright but I watch her with both eyes constantly to see what else she's doing. She never gets me easily at these times..I see to it.

My skin is too sensitive again for her to groom me much and so that tells us that the skin allergies are back with a vengeance. I won't play much, I won't allow grooming and there are a few little hard mats under my arms because she isn't allowed to brush me at all now. So..I will have to go and I will be mad at her for awhile. I wish I would make it easier on her and myself, but I never do. Good thing she loves me so much and that I love her.

Simply Saturday

I win!

Mama will try to get ready to get up on the treadmill before I can get to my condo!

I will hurry into my condo at the foot of the treadmill and then, she can't make that noisy thing go! She won't disturb me and I have to big window and sunshine ALL to myself!!! I mean, who rules? I do.

I know what I'm doing

Mom was set on cleaning the house today and she always starts by stripping our bed. She got as far as the pillow cases taken off and the blanket turned all the way down and off...then..I hopped up to the sheets that were in a swirl and trotted up to her side of the bed (mine is on her left) and curled up tightly in a ball. She could not make the bed for HOURS!
