Have My Results

 Kitties, Woofies,

Mom and I both thank you with our hearts and minds for the love, for the prayers, and the purrs and caring about me.  We both love you each very much and that is not just sayin'.  We mean it.  💕

Mommy and I know you aren't surprised by our relative absence this past week...maybe two weeks.  We catch a few furriends and then Mom is standing on her head helping me, and I am standing on all fours making her do it! The visit to the Vet yesterday was great--- really.  The Vet saw to it that I got my senior physical and bloodwork.  

Meanwhile, she gave me a bolus of water, Vitamin B12, Cerenia, and several other drugs  as well as a first dose of Mirtazipine.   The combined drugs did the trick as well as that water and Vitamin B12.  When released from my PTU after getting home, I walked with some rapidity straight out!  I went UTB, but came out within minutes and joined mom in my room on the computer.  I stood in the way (she was SO GLAD) got kisses all over...and when we both went to the kitchen. I ATE!  First time in five days!! The anti-nausea meds kept it in my tummy where it would do the most good  I wound up eating a good 2/3's a can of wet food before bed.  I slept with mom.  Best she has slept in several weeks as it is hard to sleep without me in there with her.   She didn't wake at 4 and have to get up with mind racing.  She slept till I woke her at 0707!! She got a few minutes shy of 9 hours sleep.  I walked on her stomach and chest and woke her at the right time.  

 The results of my blood and urine  tests were excellent.  Everything but the kidney values were right on the money.  Not taking the methimizole for 3 days elevated the T4 a couple of points to high normal.  I'm taking that med again now. as of today.  I do have, as I meowed before, Kidney Disease.  And the stage changed to a higher number. It is inevitable. It is the fate of a kitty.  We will do what we can while we can to stay not too far behind.  The KD is what will  ultimately cause me the worst trouble.  As you know it cannot be cured.  The Vet has a plan for my comfort.  We will see how we do as we go along.  

I wanted you to know I am eating today, and last night...I even had (**cover your eyes mancats!!**) a normal poo. I am wanting to be with mom...I slept in the bed last night.  Purring hard when I get attention and...had a shorter session of brushies..twice. 

This totally killed me! Love it

 

Me.  FINALLY on Mom's lap for a few minutes.  

Work-in at the Vet! 1130 today!!!

 Kitties, woofies,  I will have more to say tomorrow I'm thinking.  

Just wanted to thank you all the way through from my heart (mom's too) to the tip of my kitty fluffy Tuxie tail for the love and purrs and prayers.  I am going through a sudden on-set bad situation.  Mom get me worked in 4 days ago and my Dr. just gave me Cerenia, temporarily stopped the methimizole, and  sub Q fluid while I was there as I had not eaten nor had I drunk.  (I am drinking  only ever since) though it is going on five days since I have eaten.  As soon as Mom brings food I turn and get under the bed as quickly as I can.  I can't go on like this.  All days and night UTB except to drink and use my box.  Mom will ask for a work in again as quickly as they answer the phone in the morning.  Now thanks to several furriends here we wonder if I have a toothache, a sore gum, pain of any sort for any reason in my mouth.  No one including the Dr. thought of that.  Mom will bring it up.  If I need antibiotic pills instead of the long lasting shot, mom will pay a tech to come once a day after work to pill me.  She will pay a heck of a lot to tempt someone to do so. More than you may think. 

I FINALLY allowed mom to pick me up and put me on her lap last evening.  I had used the box to P and was on my way back to my self imposed prison and mom said my name and opened her arms.  I went to her lap for maybe 10 whole minutes and got the furs kissed off of me.  I lost down to 7 1/2 pounds  from the 8.4 I used to be, when I was weighed on that visit a few days ago.  With no food all these days I must be closer to 6 now.   Love and snuggles to all of you soon as I get better.  

Purrs and Prayers Please ******** I will update in a day or two.

 Katie has only been out from UTB maybe 8 minutes total since I got up.  She did get on the bed for a second then, and got off. Refuses all food. I dd get her t come for brushies that lasted maybe 2 minutes maybe...and I got her medicated.  UTB again and she will not come out.  I can't get her.  

I called and asked if a tech could be paid to come and get her.  More or less no.  They don't have that many and one can't be spared.  Would have to give up lunch.  I said I'd pay a hundred if they would.  

She used box in the night...that's it.  

Frankly I'm scared.

Up Close and Katie

 Kitties!  My mom has been eating vegetable and fruit all day like she never has had anything so good.  She is always a veggie and fruit lover... but because of poor quality for sale for several years she has had to do without  fresh fruit and veggies so many times because of the poor quality. Why spend money on foods the taste like sand in water when you could spend the money on ME! Today she got one Heirloom tomato betting that it would be good...not the nasty, hard. dry, hothouse misery out there on the shelves and bins. Even produce that weren't labeled hothouse during the summer have been hard, tasteless and not worth the money. That Heirloom is down for the count.  Mom has been eating on it all afternoon.  She bough a Bosc pear and tomorrow, despite the awful price per pound she will go back and buy out the rest of them.  (seriously) Oh my goodness...GOOD! She also got some Outlast fruit popsicles  that to her, are to die for.  $$$$ though.  Worth it. 

Up close and very personal!  What a nose!  And my 'stache!

Another Day Another Treat

 Kitties!  I only have 7 more minutes of Mom's time for her typing skills.  I should have said TYPO skills!   She is AWFUL!

Just wanted to show you all something Mom and I found this morning.  

and for our Mom's andDad's when we run away to the Bridge....

Mom saw it on Face Book today and it went straight to her heart.  It's so true.  We  love them to the ends of the earth. 

Looky Looky What I Have

 Kitties!  The best of the best for us in the CB family!  https://cbwhiskersandpaws.com/

Mom bought their red one for us.  Just go to our loved CatBlogosphere page, and visit the side bar where  the addresses are and have a blast!  CB Whiskers and Paws

The CB means family to me.  I feel that many of you feel the same way. 

Thought I would show you where I live, Kitties and Woofies.  I have blogged about the bunches of trees and animals who are in my yard all the time, come through the woods and leap over my fence to eat the plants or bird food.  The rest of the neighbors have the same visitors.  They walk all over town on the sidewalks, in the yards, streets, just wherever they please.   This gives you an idea how. and why they are a part of our lives.  The entire city except shopping centers, schools and churches look the same as this. Our town was built in a forest on a mountain.

Several of you have been here.  Always a pleasure for me and Mom. 

A Model

 Look Kitties!  I am a throw pillow on brovver's beddie!  I have been in this bed since he got here.  I walked on him last night trying to get to my window guard post!  There are raccoons trolling through my yard!  MY yard!

Brovver is going home tomorrow.  He hasn't been here for months.  We are grateful to see him at all. 

Mom made him home made Sloppy Joes tonight.  They are so GOOD!  ALL of my brovvers have loved those for years.  

KITTIES!

 Kitties!  Woofies!  Parents!!  Look what my mommy got one of my favorite brovvers for either Christmas of his Birthday in January!

This is a tribute to our tiny 6 1/2 pound Tortie, Robin.  The smartest Tortie in the world!  And over and cherished like no other.  

I wish mom had bought two if that was possible because I know she will always wish she had one.  That's pretty much Robin's eye color... and mine, Katie, too at this age I am. 

Mom said she is downright starving and wants to go in there and tear into the bunches of strawberries she has.  And me, I need to be fed.  I have a new temporary favorite. Chicken and Liver pate.  Fancy Feast.  I ate 2 cans several days ago all in one day!! I won't eat Liver and Chicken.  Ain't the same. 

XXOO

Just a Reminder

 Kitties!  All those view I wrote  last time about are not kitties and woofies or people.  There has to be some bot out there cruising the blogs and that is what is doing it.  It isn't real.  I would never have that many furriends, believe me.  I'm fortunate to have the ones who do come and see me.  :-) So, remember, I said that they weren't people I felt sure...just some mechanical thing.  

It's Monday and Mom is doing a good job of that moaning already!  She is getting herself dressed and all that.  Now me, I ran off to the grocery store for mom...I'm nice that way.  I'm NOT home and I didn't help with changing the sheets.  I was gone and not here to help with the dishes this morning.  

This is a hop!
