What a DAY!

 Kitties!  I got to feeling so much better that I went to Kozmo's house and had a total blast! I crowded through the tunnel and popped out to fresh flowers and a great adventure!  AND a buncha corny jokes.  Those are my absolute faves!  

Kozmo and I went skinny dipping on the Kettle River...laid in the STREET (something mom would never allow me to do here here as there is a street outside the front door with crazy fast drivers!  Ha Ha Mom!) I was safe as houses.  Kozmo knows the ropes, and his street isn't like the speedway ours is.  

I had a chance to swap more corny jokes with Marv- and we laughed till our sides hurt.  Kozmo didn't mind a bit,  and after a quick check with Jo Jo on beauty tips, and whisker management, we headed to the river and up some trees.  Oh that was so nice!  I needed to stretch out and get the wind in my furs!  Cinnamon said she'd chase us if we wanted.  I told her I was a little long in the fang for much chasing but maybe a short burst of running would be good.  So we had a short chase and laid by the riverside resting afterward.  I had treats in my pocket in my undercarriage that I shared. 

I have finished my meds.  I am still a bit slow to hop up and hop down but...I know I will get better each day.  Thank you all, you and your parents for the love and hopes for my health.  XXXX It helped me, and mom too. 

I Did It!

 Kitties!  Woofies!  I did it.  Mom walked down the hallway this morning after gathering breakfast things and look what she saw!  First I will show you what she saw when she was making dinner.  It was worth celebrating she thought!!

Yesterday afternoon.

This morning she was headed down the hall to start getting cleaning supplies etc ready for this morning when she turned into my room and VOILA!  She backed out and got her phone, took a photo  and made a video.  I made it to the second level! HOORAY! 

This very morning a few minutes ago.

PeeEss: Mommy put the Angels that have been on the side bar in the Rainbow page.  They are never gone and not forgotten.  

Six of One....Half Dozen of the Other

 Kitties!  The Tech came yesterday and I happened to have come out from my safe place UTB.  I was in my room with the totally hated new Tree.  I would NOT get in it...on it..near it.  Today, I laid there with a paw on it.  Mom is not sure how I will negotiate it.  Right now, of course,  I show no inclination to climb it. 

After the Tech was here about supper time, Mom didn't let me back in the bedrooms for an hour or so...so I would be with my family, eat and use the box.  Then, she opened the doors for me.  I went UTB, but after an hour I came out to be loved on the rest of the night till bed time.  Except for this:

After being held and petted a long time, I went over to my lounger and climbed to the monorail area.  I did not monorail though.  Mom saw my arms and closed eyes and had to come smooch me.  I didn't mind- and I never even cracked an eye. 

I can't wait to get better.  Here's what I WANT to do.  Soon as I can.  

Austin, Kozmo and Me.  The Tuxedo Pub Crawlers.  Don't recall who the Gentleman Woofie is just now.  

Now Mom and I know.

 Kitties, Woofies, Mommy took me off to the v-e-t this afternoon and I got a chance to show them how good I am when Mommy is on there with me.  They allowed that.

I got an exam, and the only thing that turned up was a very painful back.  Each time she pressed a little, I winced a lot.  Mom was asked about me having an x-ray and mom said absolutely.  The good news is, my entire bone structure is excellent.  She said it had to be that I hurt myself Saturday I think it was, when I fell from my crow's nest.  She supposed perhaps I twisted trying to catch myself and that torsion hurt me pretty badly.

That explains why I won't patrol and why I am sleeping on the floor all over the house.  Except I do sleep with my mommy still.  I haven't bought my family in..not even Donkey.  Nothing will keep me from my mom though.

I have two meds that mom brought home.  One is Gabapentin for 5 days, and there is another anti-inflammatory  for 5 days as well.  Mom got me some me Forta-Flora, and my nail trim was complimentary.  

The vet got to see for herself why I can't be pilled by momma and said so!   WHAT a mess the tech had.  But mom hired her this time as she was finally  able to hire a tech to come over every day for the 5 days and pill me.

Look what she bought me?  She said by golly I was not going to fall through the hole in the crow's nest ever again!  I'll get it tomorrow. My human sister will fetch it since she has a SUV.

Lots of love to each and all of you who cared and said so on my bloggie here and on Face Book.  It meant the world to us.  The prayers and thoughts were winged...straight to me.  Mom felt better too.  XXX

Is She Is or Is She Ain't?

 Oh my COD fish, Kitties! I was all droopy a few days ago.  Rallied a bit the next day, and ding dang if I didn't get lethargic again. Dragging around and plopping on the floor to sleep.   Mom asked for purrs and prayers.  I will see the Vet Tuesday, not Monday as I thought.  I am eating, using the box and making the right number of items in my box.  Go figure.  I am a bit more active.  I was up in my crow's nest and didn't fall as I had the day before.  I laid in my recliner, and even in the penthouse of my recliner( the cushy top where I monorail).  

My one white eyebrow fell out again---does that every few months or so......but here is a picture of me with it grown in, and I am wearing my monocle.  The monocle is needed right NOW so I can see what in the world is going on!  If anyone sees it, return it to me please.

I scared mom, worried my furriends and pestered everyone about the state of my Queendom. 

Mom and I know that  everyone has  already seen this photo of me in a series mom took here awhile back, but I wanted you to know I need my quizzing glass to see what  is going on.  

That Was Close (I thought)

 Good Grief Kitties!  I asked to have the door opened yesterday just before Mom went out to the store.  She asked the favorite brovver who was here to close the door when I left it.  

She returned home after a good hour and I was still on the doorway.  No sunpuddle.   It was a cloudy day and the temp was 86.  I stayed a half an hour longer and finally came into the living room.  I flopped on the carpet which was unusual.    

Long story short, I followed mom into the kitchen.  It has a  polished wood floor. The ceiling light was on as it was a cloudy day- and mom happened to see my foot prints...sticky ones too, all over the floor. She wiped the floor down, and she wasn't able to get them wiped off well; and more appeared.  She finally realized I was sweating.  I was also lethargic and it scared her. She called for a v-e-t appointment and got one for very early in the morning what would be, today.  Mom was surprised just how scared she felt.  Admiral was very sick the last few months she was with mom and left sweaty paw prints all over.  It made mom think I was very sick when she saw these that I made.

She had my appointment but she wrote a very caring blogger about me and asked their opinion.  Citations were sent and the info that sweaty paw prints in themselves did not mean hit the panic button--which I did. 

Mom Here:  She slept on my lap awhile being petted, and woke cool and non sweaty.  W-H-E-W! 

I know how much she meant to me but I didn't know I would get this wrung out.  I think the suddenness of it got to me. And it wasn't boiling hot where she was. 

Know What?

Kitties!  Know what?  The redoubtable Ms. Stella O'Houligan's Mommy, Miss Stacy Hurt, has made me a new catnip blankie!! It will be coming in the mail soon.  I have the one she made for me the minute I came home to be with my mommy.  I have it still, and it is on the back of the couch, but it is faded from all the washing when I have horked my fuds up on it.  You can see my beautiful monogram at the bottom.   Stella's mommy is on Face Book and her creative works are past awesome. (you should see Admiral's catnip blankie!  Work of art)! {it's put safely away for always}

This above is my present old one, very faded-- but will always stay right here, treasured. I'll show you my new one when it gets here!  It is sorta blue.

Meanwhile, I still have a favorite brother here, but he will probably go home to his place next week, and a birthday favorite brovver will be here too for awhile Saturday to celebrate his birfday with me and brovver and mom.  They're having pizza.  

Still LURVE my elevated dishes.  Mommy said she'll show you how/where she got them if you ask. Mom doesn't want to throw away my sweet kitty food dishes, though some are chipped or look the worse for wear, sorta like her...but she doesn't have any place to give them too.  

Live long and prosper Kitties and Woofies. 

I Have Something NEW!

 Kitties!  Mom finally got a clue with me crouched over pitifully trying to eat.  Look what came in the mail yesterday!  They are elevated and slightly tilted.  I took to them right away.  She did keep the large water bowl, however.

I don't have to quite lay down the way I was, to eat. 

AND:  Look.  She brought out my favorite tent!  She can see- and tend to my going out and my coming in.  

IN

On my way OUT! 

Oh My Goodness!

 When a girl's got it, a girl flaunts it.  A purrfect way is showing off your bikini...made just especially for you!  Eat your heart out, World!  Seeing those biggafied smecksay eyes  is just icing on the cake! That "I'm a diva" expression...whoa! 

Mom Said I Could (not)

 

Kitties!  Mom just walked by a few minutes after she took the bedspread off and the pillow shams. 

She walked in and I trilled as she bent over to give me a kiss.  Then she went for her phone and came back.  Now I wish she had shown you from the top that my head was smack on her pillow.   

Mom told me on her way to the store today, a 4 point buck walked across the road 1 block down from us.  His Lady waited on the curb, she looked at momma who was stopped for the two of them. And then, leisurely walked across to be with her hubby! It was a sweet sight and one that made my morning.  

Mom went back for the phone.  Here I am.  XX
