SELINA UPDATE!

SELINA UPDATE: She's got cystitis! Dr. Brigham said they've given her an antibiotic shot that should take care of things. We still have the second dosage for the roundworms scheduled for next Sat., the 18th, and he said by then she should be well on her way to "100% mended"! ♥♥ Thank you all - I know your purrs & kind thoughts did the trick! :) :)

I'll be picking her up at 5 PM today to take my baby home!

Also, slight correct to the previous entry:  I learned my Mother-in-law has already HAD the shoulder surgery (last week) but is on the "cannot drive" list for 10 WEEKS!  Ugh ...

      So glad that the vet was able to diagnose and treat Selina so quickly! I hope this means she will be back to her usual sprightly self shortly.

      Sparkle,

      It's amazing, but the last two days, she's been very lively & her usual self. If you hadn't known she hadn't peed, you'd never have guessed by her behavior that anything was wrong! This morning she was ALL about the teaser, playing VERY hard and seemingly VERY happy! (For which I am thankful, of course.) :)

    Pee problems can be nasty, and usually lead to very cranky kitties. Purrrrrrrring that the jab fixes Selina up soonest.

      She's amazing. As I told Sparkle above, she's been her normal insane self the last 2 days, playing this morning VERY hard with Pink Teaser! You wouldn't know anything was wrong. Very strange but just her way, I guess!

    I hope she is feeling better soon!

    But please keep a close eye on her, as some kitties have had bad reactions to the antibiotic shot.

      Connie, thank you for this. I've read it & will keep my eye on her (I'm also monitoring her peeing and pooping - what a fun job I have LOL!). I'll also run this by Drs L & B and see what they think. I hadn't heard about any of this happening with this particular antibiotic.

      *sigh* It's so hard to keep abreast of everything for our kids, isn't it??? :)

    Mum thought it might be cystitis - one of the before cats used to get it as she got older. We're sure that shot will make her better again.

Bag Day!

Meowlo, Peeps! Today is Bag Day and Keaton is demonstrating some of the many different things he can do with an ordinary paper sack from the grocery store. He claims it's environmentally responsible, as he's upcycling a natural resource. Do you buy that? Whatever ...  Anyway, here he is.  As you might notice, he enjoys a variety of bags from different places (i.e. he has no taste and will take ANYTHING that comes along.)  This one is from Lowe's Foods grocery store.    This one is from Jersey Mike's subs. We all loved that one because it smelled soooooo good but he wormed his under it and none of us could get in.       We never got into it and in the end, it's cool because MomKatt got a hilarious photo out of it! (We have NO clue what he's doing in there.  Doesn't he have a great butt, though??)   Uh oh ... bag change! He's got the one MomKatt stole from Ed McKay's used bookstore!    At least he can't tear that one up ...    Or can he?  I don'

A Journey - Selina Carter, April 9, 2011 - March 6, 2024

Image
Dearest Furrends: My scribe is typing this entry with a truly heavy heart. Yesterday, I made my journey to The Rainbow Bridge. My doctor, Dr. Daniel, told me in November 2023 that I had something called a "mass" that she could feel when she did something she called "palpating" my underside during my annual well-kitty exam. It didn't hurt - it just felt like she was squeezing me a little. She told Mom&DadKatt, who were there with me (of course) and suggested several options. They decided to start giving me a medicine called prednisone (I called it YUCK ). Dr. D said it would really boost my appetite. Boy, did it! See, MomKatt noticed I'd lost a fair amount of weight in a couple of months prior and she knew something was wrong. I've always been a big (not fat, just big) beautiful one-eyed thang, as y'all know, so this wasn't normal. It's that MomKatt radar - I know all of y'alls pawrents have it. That's why she scooped me up that da

Well(er) Wednesday

Good morning pee ps and happy Wednesday! It' s me, your favorite uniocular kitty, back at the helm and, if not "rarin'" to go, at least feeling WAY better than I was almost thi s time last week. How do we k now I'm better?  Photos do n't lie.  Here I am this morning, doing my favorite morning activity :  snoopervising the coffee-making M omKatt . Se e, MomKatt's pretty bleary in the AMs, having just gotten up & all.  So sometimes an "extra eye" is needed, just to mak e sure she gets it right.  Yeah, I got one of them! ( No, MomKatt, the coffee goes in t he filter, NOT the water!  MOL) And, of course, the highlight of my morning java snoopervision is catching, and then applying my Patented Smacky Paws to, th e Wil d Coffee Scoop (those can be d angerous when cornered) ... thusly. Stand aside, worthy adversary!   And now ... THE SMACKY PAW TREATMENT! Humph.  That'll show it who's Boss.  MomKatt reported that the
