Sunny Day...Keepin' the Clouds Away

 KITTIES!  It isn't raining and...it's not cloudy!  

I just wanted to say I'm still here.  Finally got tired of my new wand toy.  I was going to be the champion of the U.S. with my leaping skills but I seem to have decided that I'm done.  Mom has tried to get me going each night before bedtime and I don't even classify as lackadaisical.   Well, we had all kinds of fun with it till a week ago when I started not responding as much. 

This picture was yesterday late morning.  That's the only thing different.  Usually, Mom takes these at night.  Oh if anyone ever wondered, and I guess no one has..BUT just in case... the picture behind the flowers is a photograph of the skyline of Charlotte NC.  My middle favorite brother lives there and as Mom loves all things Charlotte, he gave it to Mom among the years' past Christmas presents.  

Mom said she's gonna fall asleep at the keyboard so that forces me to stop dictating.  Darn. 

XO Kitties...see ya on the other side. 

Stuff 'n' Nonsense

Borrowed from Two Spoiled Cats

Kitties!  It's starting to be quite warm and somewhat humid now.  The humidity where we live is usually very miserably high all summer long.  Mom said, however, that she didn't know what humidity was until she went so many times to New Orleans.  She said it was like breathing a glass of water when she went out into the mornings to get to the airport.   Absolutely like water. 

My new tunnel.  Coordinates the same.  Come on over.

sunpuddles are magic

I have another eye.  Mom just goofed. 

 

Mom saw this on FaceBook and it touched her heart. 

Sunday Selfie

 Kitties!  I have a new unwelcome visitater out there.  I have been going at warp speed to every window and door in the house every day and night to chase down this cat usurper!  Observe.  Any hints on how I can melt through the window glass and screen to attack would be appreciated! 

That is through the screen as well as the window but you can see her! We think she is sort of cared for next door.  Mama wants to help the two boys learn but the whole family has been very unfriendly for all the time they have lived there.  

(I wanted to say that the v-e-t told mom that I needed the methimizole when I didn't need it.  Mom saw the readings were the same as last year but she felt like she should go by what the v-e-t said, and give me the medicine. (little knowing that by contact with me, she too would be getting the medicine!) So we have stopped until and if my values rise to an appropriate level to make me need the medicine.  Mom is very disappointed in the v-e-t who also said I needed to be treated for cardiomyopathy.  Mom wrote a long letter saying she knew from lack of positive results in the special heart testing that I did not have that disease at all.  I do have Stage 2 KD however.)

Look what Wendy of O Dani Girl did with my Client and me!!

Kitties! News Announcement

From Mom:  Katie is stopping the methimazole for now.  We will monitor her as time goes on.  I had the Vet call me and I said her reading looked to me as though she was smack in the middle and not really high.  And the methimazole is all over me and my face and hands…my lips and even my tongue.  This is not good for me.   But we are stopping it, not trying pills right now, as she is not really in need at this time…and it will save me from exposure.  I AM doing due diligence,  I don’t know why it is getting on me when I kiss her. Even her back.  I’ve been using rubber gloves all day when I handle her...I thought.  Perhaps not all day as I feel my lips and tongue affected again.  We are stopping now.  It may take several days to get good and away from it affecting me.   Not taking it will improve her KD functioning in the interim. That will get worse, but we will deal as it happens.  And the hyperthyroidism will as well…but “down the road”.  She, the Vet, must have been going with the “abundance of caution” premise. 

When Katie takes it again, it will have to be in pill form OR, much more likely, she will go get her I-131.  

We will keep up with the Miralax as her appetite has risen dramatically now that she is not constipated.  She may actually have gained a few ounces she is eating so much right now.  YES!  That four pounds she lost scared me to death.  

Stole this from FB yesterday!!  LOVED it. 

Another Dreary Day w/ No Sunpuddles

 Kitties, I am sure tired of the chilly sunless days.  We DID have two sunny days in a row though.  Yesterday was the second day.  So I just have a few things to share.   One of them is that the ear gel Methimazome is causing mom problems.  

I monorail on the tub and get my application of medicine.  Mom uses rubber gloves.  She washes before and after, etc.  BUT:  I enjoy my reward of lavish kisses all over my head after the application of medicine.  I get them on my back and sides too.  At times throughout the day, I jump up on her lap to get more lovins.  I stand on her lap facing toward the TV.  She puts her arms around me gently and gives me warm hugs.  Then I sit, purr loudly, tilt my head back, close my eyes and wait for all the kisses on my head.  The purrs can be heard over in my recliner when someone is sitting there and my mom makes those obnoxious loud  LOUD smoochies.  I love it.   I repeat my actions several times in the day and at night.  But she is feeling the effect of getting some of that gel somehow on her face and lips.  

Mom Here:  Nothing shows after I put it in her ear. I put it where it is supposed to be.  But somehow I am getting some of it on me regardless of how careful I am.  It makes me have to deny her some of the kisses and hugs she wants and come to me for.  And the ones I give her have the consequences.    I had better come back and make it more clear.  I am washing up.  I use the rubber glove thing but that stuff must travel from her ear...maybe by her scratching, who knows, and if I kiss her head or back, I can feel I get a dose.  Not good. 

I made Mom repeat this one because both of us think it's so darned cute!  

Happy Mother's Day

 Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms in the CB- and everywhere- this morning.  Happy Mother's Day to the Dads who take us into their homes as well.  

The care and love you give us is like a soft warm cloud surrounding us each day.  Our Mom's makes our lives a blessing to us.  They keep watchful eyes on us and make sure we go to our doctor if we are not well.  They make sure we have everything we need.

We are surrounded by loving arms and warm laps every day whenever we need them.  All we have to do is ask.  Our moms understand us completely.  

As a special request from my Mom, she said we both include  Rescue, Transport and foster Moms and Dads in our love and wishes for a happy Mother's Day. 

A gift that explains it all. 

Loving Cat Mom and Dad with Babies. 

Happy Mother's Day from me and Leopard. 

Much Ado About Nothing

 Good Meowning Kitties and Woofies! 

I am well into my second week of Methimazole.  Mom sneaks up on me while I monorail on the tub edge.  She does my ear and then brushies happen.  She waits til all that is done before she even washes her face.  It's worth it to put me first while she can.  ;-) 

Here's a pile o' pictures! 

A better pic of my Client.  And me- supervising his Letter of Declaration. 

What I think of the world today!

This shows I'm not kidding! 

To entice the mancats...(I'm a Pin-up!) 

Katie & Company

 My goodness me.  I have a bunch of pictures  They are all new from 24 hrs. ago and tonight except one.  That one is MUCH older.  And kitties, I leapt all the way to the top of the mattress this morning. That mattress is so high mom has to use a step stool to get on it at night.  The mattress is a year old maybe and the box spring is just as thick. It's like getting on and off a horse mom said! 

I can bathe my tummy and other areas.  Biggafy and see my two legs?  And my white socks?  

I am here many hours a day.  This was last night. 

My Client, with wild blonde hair from outside in the rain. See my expression?  

First time I have returned up there since I got to feeling so badly a few months ago. 

This is much beloved Hopping John, and one of my favorite brothers.  

This is a favorite picture for Mom.
