One Eye on the Future

Selina continues to improve, though I think the poop issue w/the roundworms will take a bit longer to completely eradicate.  She was peeing this weekend with no apparent visual difficulties, and no more of this going in & out of the box with no pee results.  She left nice, round, LARGE puddles and litter clumps! I must admit, I was VERY worried - plus I had company this weekend & was gone most of Sat., so I couldn't monitor as I would've normally done.  But yesterday I saw her squat and pee a nice big puddle in the box & I was doing the Happy Dance! So ... she will be back to her own reporting/dictating soon.  I just thought I'd bring ya'll up to speed, since it's been a couple of days ...  MomKatt Laura 

MomKatt Laura here once more ... Got Selina home late yesterday afternoon and she was all about wiggling & rolling over in the carrier in the passenger's seat, trying to get my attention to tell me how anxious she was to get home!  I told her she needed to stop being cute while I was driving, because she was a distraction worse, and far more appealing, than a cell phone!  LOL Seriously, if you just watched her - both yesterday and today - you wouldn't know anything was wrong with her.  She's just as lively as usual, this morning demanding Pink Teaser and whapping him for all she was worth - chasing him HARD (and I mean HARD - this Olympic "Bolt" fellow's got nothing on my Selina for speed) - and meowing at me to "play more, MomKatt, play more"! When I let her out of the carrier last night, she made a beeline for one of the litterboxes.  It was hard to tell if she'd peed this morning (one of the drawbacks to a multi-cat household, I'...

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 ... 

Good morning all! I'd like to ask for purrs for Selina this morning. I had to take her in to the vet just now. She hasn't peed, I don't think, since last night. Came home last night & saw her just sitting in the litter box. Didn't think anything of it at first, then I caught her doing it again.   At one point, she got up & there was a tiny (I mean smaller than a dime tiny) spot of clumped litter where she'd been sitting, but that was it.) This morning, same thing, only not even the dime-tiny emission.  Just NOTHING.  She sits in the box and was in & out of it this morning several times, squatted down like she wanted to do something and couldn't.  I didn't see any sign of her straining or bearing down to attempt to pee.  After a few minutes, she got out, cleaned her butt & stayed out for a little while before going back into a box again.  It's clear she's feeling some sort of "urge" to go.  What isn't cle...

Appears we have a bit of a mystery. In my last post today, GIFTS!!! , I thanked my furriend Sparkle for the Fancy Feast breakfast gooshy fud that we received in the mail yesterday.  But she says that her hooman hasn't even turned in everyone's addresses yet!  So it could NOT be from her - plus, this box contained only one can of the FF gooshy fud, and a packet of Nestle (?) chocolate stuff for the pawrent(s) (not that MomKatt's gonna share chocolate drinkie stuff with DadKatt - no freakin' WAY!) But now the question is  ... WHERE DID THIS FANCY FEAST FUD COME FROM??? MomKatt hasn't sent away for anything, filled out any surveys or received any "thank you"gifts from a company ... perhaps DadKatt is the culprint? Stay tuned ..... purr-haps this is a case for ...  SHERLOCK HEMLOCK!  World's greatest detective! Or not.  Maybe we're just on someone's mailing list ... Puzzled purrs, Selina

A BIG shout-out of thanks to my furriend, Sparkle ( http://www.sparklecat.com/ ) , for the free Fancy Feast Breakfast!  We got ours in the mail yesterday, and MomKatt fed me, Livia & Morticia the can this morning  ... for breakfast!  NUMMY!  I ate mine ALL up!  We usually don't get gooshy fuds 'til the evening so this was a nice surprise. Those black things in front of the box?  Humm ... no clue.  Probably don't want to know.  MOL  (Shards from the teaser, most likely.) Oh!  And MomKatt said there was a hooman treat in the Fancy Feast box for her, as well!  She's going to try it tonight!  She thinks it involves chocolate. In other news ... *gulp* ... my annual "well kitty" is this Saturday, bright & early at 8 AM.  MomKatt is going to take pictures so, hopefully, I can blog about it to introduce ya'll to my vets!  They are SOOOOO pawsome & I think they'd really dig being mentioned in my blog.  T...
