The Week of Leia

and that starts today! Mancat Monday, move over. Go, scooch.

That's better. Here I am, enjoying the week that will be ALL Leia. Because I got totally cheated last week, especially on Caturday.

Anyways... I've been spending more time on the couch cushions lately. Usually I'm hanging out on the top corner, just above where I am now. But now that fall is here, I'm feeling the need to snuggle in by this plush blankie.

 

And now, if y'all will excuse me, it's time for my next nap.

It's Caturday

Mom, am I not the fairest in the land (of Whiskeratti) ? Why can't I have this day?.... Fine, I'll let you and Toby have it. But I want special treatment next week!


Thank you, Leia, you are a generous soul.

So, back to the vet today, for Toby's arthritis shot. I tried the Medicam drops but since I can't actually see how many drops I'm putting in, and that is critical, it just wasn't working. And I think he was hurting a fair amount.

While there, we discovered that he's also... hyperthyroid. Of course. Why wasn't that included in the blood work from TWO WEEKS AGO??? I assumed it was, but no. And he's lost weight since that visit too. Anyway, I now have a diagnosis for the weight loss and pills for it.

Recheck in four weeks for this. Recheck in 6 more weeks for the heart. 

These visits are turning my sweet orange into a monster. While there, he growls and hisses and pants.

He's tired of being poked and prodded and being forced into the PTU/car rides.

If you will, please purray for us - endurance, and strength to get through all that we must do.

Happy Caturday to all.

Leia Presents Artful Caturday

Folks, there has been entirely too much orange here this week. Move over, the Gray is ruling this weekend!

We are BIG supporters of, and believers in, careers for cats (and woofies too. Ha ROOO!)

We need to be heard, and seen, and let the light of our furtips shine brightly throughout the world.

So we are very proud to announce our third addition to the Quint Collection from Colehaus Cats. Such talent that boy has. This is his amazing Summer's End. Isn't it beautiful??

Happy Caturday to you all.

Goodbye Dear Furriend

Sylvester from the Katnip Lounge had to go over the Bridge, Please visit his family; they are devastated.

It Talks - But What Does It Say??

Gather round, my furriends, and hear my tail of woe:

On Tuesday I was unceremoniously whisked off to the Stabby Place. It was time for my arthritis shot (we switched to Medicam drops) and Mom had them steal my bloods. They took it from my neck this time! How uncivilized is that, I ask you?

The bloodwork results were good. One kidney is slightly enlarged and since my visit for heat stroke two months ago, my heart now murmurs. Purrsonally, I don't hear it say anything so I think maybe they are wrong about that, but I just started a half pill every day for it.

And the crowning indignity - they rolled me on my side to trim my back claws. I can handle my own pointy ends just fine, thank you very much!


Mom's note:

My poor beautiful orange boy. If there is a problem, it's always him.
