Rachel Update

Meowlo Peeps!

Rachel is a bit quiet this morning & didn't want her gooshy food or her L-Lysine treats.  When THAT cat is quiet ... well, you know something is up.  She got a feline leukemia shot yesterday that I don't normally get my guys because they are indoor only, so MomKatt's thinking that she's feeling a little punky from both that shot and the 3-year distemper shot she was due to receive.

As for the coughing, Dr. L said he could not find a THING wrong with her (and praised how beautiful her coat was, said "She's the prettiest black cat I've seen in awhile!" and MomKatt replied, "Well, don't let Selina or Morticia hear you say that!").  The only thing he found was a tiny (and I mean TINY, like smaller even than the tip of your pinkie finger) little spot in her mouth on her right side in the back, right where her upper teeth end.  He confessed he didn't know what it was, and said he didn't want to start her on an antibiotic or steroid when he could see no justifiable reason for doing so.  MomKatt agreed with that, and they agreed that she would continue to monitor her behavior and whether the coughing got any worse, or whatever.  She's to touch base with him later today on the phone to update him.

Last night she seemed fine, acted like her normal self and ate her dinner just fine.  MomKatt hopes that, when she gets home from work, The Princess will have rested up today and will be more like her usual self.

Thanks for the purrs and good thoughts, ya'll, and please keep them coming.


I'm resting in Pink Bed!

Purrz & remember, only one more day 'til Furrrriday!

    Sending more purrs Rachel's way. Some cats do go through a "quiet" period after they get their shots. Genji is like that too. all paws crossed that she is back to her usual self soonest.

    Purrs,
    The Chans

    We sure hope Rachel is feeling better soon. Shots can do that sometimes.

    We hope Rachel feels better soon. Shots make us grumpy, too, so we don't blame her.

    We'll keep purring for Rachel! Those shots make us lay around for a day or two, also.

    Ok, I'm going to ask. if she doesn't go outside, and you don't normally give it, why did you allow them to give it to her? It is only necessary if there is a chance she will come in direct contact with a cat of unknown vaccine history. For indoor only cats it is a completely unnecessary vaccine.

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

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'

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
