Furry Friday

Kitties, this is a habit of mine..soon as mom gets the sheets drawn upward and before the bedspread, I jump up and fur her side of the bed and her pillow. I do this as a continuing service in gratitude for all she does for me. (including following me around annoyingly with my pill pocket trying to get me to take my pill!) There are more flashy beast pictures of me sleeping in bed than not. I am, if nothing else, predictable.

Oh, Simba..that picture(s) of me under the counterpane on the bed were out of order. The one with part of me showing was the first, not the last as mom had in my blog. The one with me all the way under it except my tail, was last. I withdrew to avoid the flashy beast. MOL. Gotta get up early in the morning to fool ME!

Who'd a Thunk it?

Mom was thrilled to see a hairball last night. THREE of 'em. Thrilled.

She came home from a lecture last night (Bill Fortney, famous photographer) and found three hairballs on the floor to greet her. This was a thrill to her because for well over a year I have not horked up a single hairball despite my long furs because I was not grooming any more than my feeties and face.

Mom had to help me with a warm damp cloth and brushing. I just didn't feel well enough to groom. But since coming home from the hospital I have been grooming. That's what startled mom awake that first night..me laying along side her back washing my furs and she being totally un-accustomed to it for a long time thought I was having a medical emergency. She did. I wrote about it last Friday I think it was. So, around here---hairballs are welcome. It means I feel well enough to do that. Oh and my furs are growing in on my nekkid leggie. xox

Tortie Tuesday

Cat? What cat?

(mommy with the flashy beast yesterday)

Meowy Monday

Kitties, I was served something I.do.not.like! What kind of breakfast is that!? I took two or three bites and left. It's not me, Kitties, it's that fud. Mom immediately opened a can of Feast but I stayed in the Spa area, hovered over my Pool. Nothing is wrong except I did not like the breakfast. But would I come back to the kitchen to try the fuds she set out again? No. I told her Cousin Miranda of my Gypsy cousins teleported into the Spa and Pool area and invited me to go with her now and travel the wide world. I am thinking about it. (translated: NO more strange fuds, Mom)

Easy on Sunday

I'm in there for hours, holding down the mattress as the clean sheets that mom has out to put ON the bed, lie waiting and languishing.

Mom is a squillion years old..maybe two squillion years old, today. My brothers gave her a big surprise party out in a restaurant with a centerpiece (Hello Kitty of course) and those blowy thingies that you blow into. The party was organized for yesterday as everyone could make it. So I am exhausted what with hearing on the shouting and squealing about it when she got home. I stayed on the bed most of the night to monitor her health since she turned squillions of years old. Can't take chances. She has the thumbs. I'm practical as well as beautifuls.

xoxox

Caturday

Kitties! It's Caturday! Here is a picture of a store of mine that my brother took while he was in Austria a month ago. I make lots of green papers and so I gave some to mommy to pay the V-E-T. I am happy to be home on Caturday and kitties, I am like another cat. The one who left here so sad on Monday is like the kitty mom so remembers. Yes, I was gone a long four days and nights but I feel like a million dollars right now. The stay with the IV and whatever went into that metered drip, the shots I had..I am like a new girl. I'm talking (nicely) I'm sticking to mom where before I was off UTB or just not a happy girl. Mommy said it was worth every one of those green papers to see me like this. I took my meds again today and yesterday. I told mom I was tired of the salmon pill pockets and I demanded chick-hen. That went down (pardon my pun) furry well.

MY arm looks SO much better. When the tape from the IV came off my arm was red where they had shaved it so the tape would stick. I cleaned it very well and many times and now..my arm looks good. It's fun to see the tortie pattern for my furs on my skin!

Byy kitties..see you at your place.

Home Sweet Home

I have been like glue on paper with Mom. I have surprised even myself. There was scarcely a minute that I wasn't on her or being snuggled on the floor or in here by the computer. I had her hand in mine and my head on top which made it impossible to type since she knows whats more important Last night, mom thought there was an earthquake OR that I was having a seizure once she knew that was me along her back. I usually don't sleep with her in the night after lights out I just sleep for the first hour maybe and move on to other places. This time I stayed most of the night and I took a thorough bath while glued to her back. She actually did wonder if I was having a medical problem because I was washing my smaller places, aka legs, feeties, and it felt like tremors. Then, I started bathing my sides and those bloomed into the earthquake rocking and rolling. She smiled and went back to sleep.

Here is a graphic that Sam Andy and Shelly's mom made for me. It's appropriate so I asked momy to please post it here.

I hope I can let mom at least make our bed.

I'm Home Thank Goodness (and the V-e-t)

Oh Kitties..at last I'm home. My blood work was great. My calcium levels went to just above high normal which beats the heck out of the stratospheric level it was on Monday and my BUN (a kidney function) is great. That was a tough row to hoe kitties and woofies and duckies.

I have a shaved arm but I know my furiends won't care. I am in my Pool and Spa area (mom calls it a bathroom) and I am relaxed by my pool (mom calls it a water bowl, go figure) and I took my mighty left arm and slung water EVERYWHERE. Mom had to use a towel to get it off the floor and now..I am on my side (see my picture mom just took) scrubbing the floor with my paw and splashing water everywhere. Just like old times.

Since then I came into the computer room to snoopervise what she's typing and we stopped this bloggie and had a long time kissing and snuggling and purring and loving and re-scenting my mom all over again. Now I'm in the living room washing my bare arm. I am so glad to be home. I'll punish her tomorrow but right now..I am so happy (so is she).

Fanks you over and over and over for being there for me and for taking care of mom since I couldn't. She is furry grateful believe me, as am I. Lots of loves to each and every one of you on the CB and in my Twitter world. I am richly blessed.

Mommy Visit Two

I was incarcerated Monday early afternoon. Mommy has come by to visit 2 times yesterday and today. I gave her dictation while she was bent over with her head in my cage kissing me. I saw and approved the transcript before she left and asked her to type it up under my authority.

All I ate yesterday was the Pounce mommy left. They gave me my own wet fuds but I refused anyway. This morning mom came better prepared and brought my Royal Canin extra stinky dry fuds. I greeted mom with a squeek and came forward when the cage door opened. She was ready with a small dish of stinky dry fuds which I began eating right away. After eating maybe 15 or 20 morsels, I heard the Pounce bag rustle so I asked for some. I had maybe 15 pieces.

Mom commenced petting me and I laid on my side with my arms stretched out in front, and enjoyed the petting. She combed me too and I was so happies thatI purred. Mommy had her head stuck in there with me so she could whisper to me at the same time and that is when she heard and felt the purring. She was so happies that I gave her that gift. Here is truly what she whispered. Really. #TLOA and #WLF honor. She whispered that which I longed to hear..that my CB woofies and kitties and humans cared and loved me and were purring, woofing and praying for me, in truth. She whispered (she did) that the Twitterverse babies were also doing the same and she told me about the #Pawcircle and #Admiral's House. Yes..she did tell me.

She is under orders to tell the total complete truth with no embellishment. Here is what I told her to tell you. I want to thank you on the CB and Twitter again for the prayers, for the warm love and the loud continuous purring from all of you kitties, woofies, piggies, turtles, bunnies and humans. I, the Admiral said in response (I did) that is why I was relaxed and at ease this morning and why I ate. I send my love back and I am always in all of your corners with you when you need me.

Soon I will be home and mom hopes I will eat, I know. Please keep me in mind over the weekend that I make the transition home well. xoxoxoxoxo always.

My Visit From Mom

Mom here. I just got back from a long visit with Admiral. She made a sweet sound when she saw it was me and the cage door was opened for me to reach in. I petted her a long time. I got to give her many kisses.

She had refused to eat that pate style food they gave her..which was why I brought her own food for her but they failed to give it to her. She only eats foods with pieces in it. Therefore she had had nothing to eat since her very sparse breakfast here at home early yesterday morning. They broke open a can of Fancy Feast I had brought while I was still there and reminded them about the pate style foods. But she didn't eat it right then. They said she may after I left. However I had brought 3 Pounce treats..knowing she would refuse and instead, she ate them out of my hand! I went home..got the bag and fed her as much as she would eat of Pounce. I don't care if it's a treat. If she eats..it can be whatever she wants. I'd say she ate a good quarter cup worth. Tonorrow I am going earlier and taking her Royal Canin dry food. Maybe she'll eat. I'll feed her by hand as I did when I was there today.

Her Dr. said that no, she can't come home tomorrow as I hoped. He said it was too soon and she needed her drip even though she IS hydrated now. Must be other things in it. Thursday morning she will have another blood profile to see where she's at. Hopefully by afternoon she can come home.

Here is a picture of her, her black PTU on the floor, an assistant and the hospital cat too. Her name is Tillie and there is Cliff, a gray and white as well. They live there. I apologize for the fuzzy picture. I failed to set it correctly and couldn't tell until I got home.

She said she's doing pretty well all things considered and says she did indeed feel all of the love and purrs and prayers coming to her to keep her from being afraid. I did too. Truth.

Admiral and Mom's Fanks

Mommy and I are intensely grateful for the outpouring of love and comfort from the CB and Twitter..purrs and prayers and comments in my bloggie (which I authorised mom to do for now) and my #Admiral'sPorch where my Pals can gather and the #Pawcircle where I will feel the love and warmth of all my kittie and woofie and piggy and turtle furiends and their pawrents so I will feel less afraid. I was so skeered and lonely wondering why this was happening and my furiends gathered to help me here and on Twitter.

I felt the power of all of that last night and I was not as scared as I thought I would be. Warm love and powerful purrs and prayers always boost a kitty and their pawrents up. And both of us want to express our gratitude. We feel blessed.

Mom will come to see me this mid afternoon. But there is where I need to be to get bolstered up. See all of you soon. xoxoxox

Admiral Needs Her Furiends Now

Kitties, this is mom. Admiral would do this herself and wishes she were here to do do but she cannot as she is in the hospital for likely three days.

She lost weight, but I didn't know how much and how quickly it happened till I took her to the Vet today. She is down to 6.8 pounds. BUT: it seems that the Dr. feels with a metered drip all 3 days (she's dehydrated he said..I could not tell) and plenty of fluids to cleanse her system..the BUN will drop (kidney value elevated somewhat he feels due to dehydration) and her blood calcium level will drop to at least just over high normal where it was last blood test.She bomited more last night and was and has been a little unhappy.

She has not been eating much at all for two weeks despite taking her medicine and I told the vet that as well. He feels that she will come right after he gets her flushed out as it were, hydrated up..she has her own fuds from home..her red blankie and my pajama top that I took off this very morning..never knowing my baby would be away from me so long. Kitties, I miss her terribly and I'm lonely for the touch of her furs in my hand and as I kiss her head.

Please keep her tight in thought so she won't be afraid? XOXOXO

Meow Like a Pirate Day

Avast, me Hearties! The wind is blowin'. Raise the mainsail or ye'll walk the plank. We're gittin' underway right now or it's nothin' but hardtack & water for a week and the dog o' nine tails for ye!

pee ess: Mr Puddy helped me with the picture. Otherwise we would have just enjoyed all of yours.

Spa Day Caturday

Ahhhhh....my brother is here..lots of kisses and bacons..brushies...ahhhhh

Frilly Feline Friday

Mommy, I'm cold. I'll curl up here on the bedspread.

Thursday in the Garden with Admiral

Here is my little garden. It is almost done for the year. I hope you like it. Mommy got us lots of tomatoes this year and the peppers are still peppering! We have 5 out there now and more baby ones.

Please have a wonderful day. Mom and I loves you.

Wordless Wednesday (almost)

I am at the computer in mom's chair and I asked my brother to send whatever he did to create my picture and this is what he sent. My mom has a Mac and so she doesn't have SilverBox. Brother has a PC so..this is what he used.

Tuesday's Tortie

Look at ME! Aren't I special? My brother sent this to mom and she and I love it. Happy Tortie Tuesday efurrybuddy! I hope you're eating and napping well? Don't I have a good brother? XXOO

Me Monday

Fanks you efurryone who came to see the one who came before me, Robin, and her message about that tragic day. Purrs and Bonks.

Today, I have just a few things to do. Mainly eat and nap and call out to mom. We chased one another a little yesterday, and that was FUN!

Her youngest came to see her and they went to a garden here in town and got some good pictures of a Garden Orb spider and some beetles. That pleases mom most of all..when she's out with her camera. I'm so glad she can tend to me the way I need to be tended..on the floor with me enfolding me in her arms. No more of that hard clunky thing that enveloped her arm and puffy fingers sticking out of the end of it. That didn't help me get my pets!

So, here I am, thinking of the fuds she's going to go get me..the brushies I'll have and the nappies I'll take all over the house! See you at your place..

We Remember

We remember this terrible day ten years ago. We will NEVER ever forget. Not ever. Robin asked me to send this as a remembrance.

Saturday Tortie Times..all the news, all the time

Have you ever settled comfortably on your mom or dad at night..say, on their tummy or even their chest and you trustingly fall asleep just to find an earthquake has happened to rudely jolt you awake? Or a hurricane with wind and heaving mom-scape? I have Kitties, and it's an awful thing.

Mom always reads a bit before turning out the light and last night after I had fallen asleep I found myself being jolted and jostled...slipping off except for my anchor claws embedded into her PJ's. She was making that sound.."ha ha ha ha haaaa". Every time she made the sound I was jolted up again, coming down only to find myself thrown back up again until she finished. Something in her book made her laff she told me as she steadied me and apologized-as well she should! *I* felt like I was on a trampoline like those I have seen on TV with kids jumping on them only it was my own mom's chest! Talk about ROOD! And seeing me bobbing up and down on her chest as she laffed made her laff even MORE, kitties!!! It was a nightmare!

Then there are the times when this awful hurricane comes and sweeps over me while I innocently sleep! This horrible CATastrophic convulsion of the bed-scape occurs and the wind sweeps over me blowing my furs back. She calls it a sneeze! I call it a CATastrophe! STOP that! Do you have to do that in multiples? She'll sneeze 8 or 10 times in a row and I am CATapulted practically to the ceiling each time! NO idea why I put UP with this stuff!

9-9-09 MO Cats Day

I can't imagine not talking to my fellow blogging kitties each day...or not starting my own day of napping and eating without learning how my furiends did with their napping, playing and eating. And being loved. I know what joy I bring to my mom when she is coming closer and closer to love on me and give kissies and I start purring louder and louder as she gets ever closer. That gives her a big smile and I have to endure squillions of kisses, but it's worth it. And what kitty doesn't want to tell their kitty furiends that..and all the other things we exchange. MO -cats!

Fursday Meowning and the Torties are Stirring

I asked Mommy to take that cussed X apart and put the two pieces in different rooms. That way, it can't come together again to trick me! Imagine dumping beautiful me two times! That was two times too many and so the green papers she gave away for it will be put to use providing me with a lay down pad and scratcher should I desire. *fumes*

Mommy said she wondered if she was fueling my bomits with the new FF extra gravy meals. I never laid those traps before..I just used the old being a cat "log" in the way to trip over to catch introoders previous to those lovely new FF fuds I so love. We will see. Mom is feeding me the 'old' FF. I comin' to see you...watch for me. Leave the light on.

Wordy Wednesday

My mommy stepped in one of my bomit traps day before yesterday! She really did. Barefooted too. She got up to see what a bumping sound was caused by..it was 4 in the morning..and I'm afraid she stepped into a trap I laid in the hallway against possible burglars. She said it was cold and she felt fortunate that it was the side of her foot, not the whole thing. I told her she wasn't supposed to be up and had she stayed in bed, there would not have been a problem. *I* am the one who investigates strange bumps in the night!! That's my job!!

Guess what? The X was properly put together finally after everyone said to knock it more firmly together. Well, after several days, I decided to get up on it and it fell over again. How in the world do you kitties get ON that thing and STAY on it??? I give up. I may have approached it from the side..mom doesn't know as she was not there.

The day is coming when, after a call to set up an appointment I get to go to that place! Mom can now pick me up and hold me and she hopes, lower me into my PTU. In the wide range blood test last time, the v-e-t said on the phone that I had one value in my kidney screen that was off kilter. He said until another test next time he wasn't worried and he commanded my mom also not be worried. So we need to see about that and generally how I am. Lots of drama here.

Tortie Tuesday

Good Meowning Kitties! It's Tortie Tuesday..all glowing and booteefuls. Speaking of booteefuls, my remodled blog is courtesy of Sam Andy and Shelly's mom. My mommy is so pitiful at things like that we would have gone into year after year with stuffs nailed onto our side bars and pasted in the middle. That poor momma..she is technically discombobulated and gets by with the help of her furriends..like Mom Judi. I love the new look! Mom has stars circling her head wondering at the hows-ifs and whats. Bless her heart.

We just have a DSLR that has no video feature. When she had a point and shoot she was able to do videos. She has said more than once she ought to save a bit and go get another small camera that can do the video. You'd love seeing and hearing me singing and polishing the floor at the same time. What would mom do without me?

Here I am thinking about where to lay the next bomit traps. I got some practice in yesterday...

Meowy Monday

I sure do spend time singing in the bathroom. Er..I mean my Spa and Pool area. I hunker by my pool (which some unlearned would call my water dish! Pah!) and singggg sing sing. I have my breakfast and then trot in to sing. I add interest and drama by drinking while polishing the floor with my left paw sweeping the area where I stand drinking. (I am left pawed). Then, I sing. Loud and long. After awhile when I have satisfied my audience, I have a nap to recuperate from all that effort. Then, soon as I wake, I go back to the pool...sweep the floor and sing and drink. It's a hard job but someone has to do it to keep things livened up around here.

Here I am after tasting that dead leaf mom traipsed in with her when she returned from checking the pepper plant. It wasn't tasty at all. Maybe I'll compose another Aria about it.

Easy on Sunday

I am relaxed, full of Feast and ready for a power nap before I have a snack. I hope some of you will want to return for a nap with me on the big bed. A cuddlepile of warm kittehs. The music of the mass purring was enchanting I hear tell. Glad I had a stock pile of fuds and waters and treats on hand. We will have some more on hand today about noon and my new toys will be out for your amusement. House trashing is optional. Feel free..it's my house and what I say always goes.

There are clear boxes with ladies clothes in them UTB. We girls can try them on AND we can get up on Mom's dresser and go thru all of the jewelry. I found that I look stunning in pearls! Welcome in.

Simply Caturday

Good meowning Kitties! So good to see you this beautiful day. Now..I'm exhausted after that breakfast I just ate and the sup of skim milk mom gave me. I need to conserve energy. There's room for more..who will transport over?

Thank you

Mommy and I thank you for reading our dilemma and trying to help us. We think mom has it fixed but...and this is sad..after it collapsed on me, I seem to not want to explore it any more. Of course poor mom who spent some green papers on it to please me will leave it there for some time until she finds a kitteh who will want it. She added even more catnip to it today and I went over to eat some but...I won't get on it.

I have been to visit most of you and it was great to read the adventures (or naps) that you have accomplished. Mommy saw some very inviting tummies and made a silly out of herself oohing and ahhing over them. You might think she'd never seen a cat tummy before!!! Kinda ticks me off!

I'll just keep showing her mine and hope she gets over those other little tummies she looked at today.
