I'm home but, "Boy where is this place"????.

Girl Human got up very early yesterday and was busy doing things. I rested nicely under the dining room table on one of my favorite chairs. I was not feeling well and had no interest in eating for a couple days. I didn't care that I had not eaten for 32 hours. All I wanted to do was get this sneezing over with.
Girl Human all the sudden scooped me up and placed me in that awful, PINK Girly Carrier. When is she going to understand pink is not Peaches color. I was not feeling well enough to protest. I must humored her after all..
Girl Human strapped my carrier to the other seat beside her. She covered my pink carrier with a blanket. Well, now she wants to hide it.
We rode and rode and I complained I was to hot. Girl Human said I did very well.
We got to this strange place. People there actually knew I was a boy!!! Called me Him and He. What music to my ears. They all fussed over me. I was placed in a big fancy room with cold granite counter tops. The floor was very rich tile, those big tiles and they were cold too.
Girl Human sat in a comfy chair and scooped me up to keep me warm in her lap. I complained as, I have not been a lap kitty since I was a young boy.
A nice lady came in and said how she liked orange kitties. We all talked about my ability to retrieve a ball. Then the nice lady felt my belly looked at me in the eyes. This is when the nice lady wasn't very nice. She took my temperature and we kitties know what that means.. I told her it was normal. She would not listen.
The lady took me from the room Girl Human was in. My blood was taken, I got a hurt. A needle in the leg. I started getting very sleepy. I don't remember much.
I remember I woke up and Girl Human was there. I saw that Beautiful Pink Carrier after a long forgettable day with that lady. I was not feeling very well and slept most of my way home. Annie Spokescat's Diary will give you Girl Humans story.

Taking a trip Friday

Peaches is going for his testing on Friday morning. It will be 2 hour trip each way. They are nicely going to combine 3 trips into one to help save money. I have to look tomorrow to find him something comfy to travel in. He will not be a happy camper on the return. I want to give him the best ride possible. A lot of samples will be taken and they will be looking into both sides of his nose. I have all his paperwork and x-rays in hand the only thing I don't have is the name of the Dr., directions or phone number. He said he talked with the Dr. direct and she seems very nice. He also said he felt like he failed me. I almost cried as he has tried so hard. He even presented the problem to his favorite professor whom he keeps in contact with for times like this. What a super guy glad we have him there for us.

Better days waiting for me

Peaches first shot did not do much for him this time. We took him for the second last week and it helped just a little. He is eating as long as Girl Human keeps mounding his canned food up in his dish. He can't open his mouth enough to take a nice big bite.
He spent today at the portable heater with his nose very close as it must feel good to him. His heating pad.
He spends a lot of time sitting right next to her on the arm of the chair. Then in turn he did manage to eat the tail off 2 big toy mice he got for Christmas. Completely eating one tail in a blink of an eye.
He has not been feeling like playing ball the last few days just sleeping. We fixed up a heat lamp above the cat post he frequents. He will not go there at all. Amber has discovered it and claimed it as hers.
The Dr. said he can't think of anything else to do for him it is beyond his expertise. All he can do is try to keep him comfortable as possible while waiting for us to decide what next . We just don't know what to do now. Going to a Dr. means big decisions expensive tests to do biopsies and long drives that he hates. It's not always fun caring for kitties with special needs. I wish it was.

Meowy Christmas my Furrends

I was sitting her looking at my purrrty little Green and red shiny ball and was thinking of all my wonderful friends who have been so good to me this year. I want to thank everyone for the support, kind words and prayers you have sent your way. I would love to stop in at everyone's house tonight to share a little catnip but I really hate riding in the car anywhere. So hope you guys will forgive me and except my wishes for a very happy Holiday and a fantastic Merry Christmas. Head Bonks to all and here's a toast to all of you.

Today was a day of sneezes and rattles. Girl Human said it was 48 hours before I was OK the last time before I was OK. I still am playing with my ball. At least it's not pink.
Oh ❄ Charlie ❄ I'm so sorry that you have a pink room. Maybe you can throw litter on the walls and change it to something more neutral. I'm sorry there are other kitties out there who feel my pain like, Zeke. I think I would like green to match my eyes some day.
It was rather funny when Girl Human had to shove both the carriers in the car. I'm sure glad we didn't have far to go. I was on the top and I have never been that high up. I could see a big big world out there. I didn't like it to much and was sure glad when I got back to the Junction and safe in my little world.
Sure hope this shot works so I don't have to go back again for the other one. That all for tonight. I need to go retrieve my ball. The things we have to do to keep our Humans busy. Goodnight guys.

Not in Pink

I was awoken early this morning with the sound of a carrier door's clicking lock. Now some how I knew it was meant for me. When I saw it was a pink carrier I ran, hissed and growled at Girl Human. What is wrong with this Women, any how??? Now it's bad enough my name is Peaches but, a pink carrier for a boy is not my idea of how I want to go out in the world. Now pink may be fine for some guys but I'm a red head. Get real here!!!! Girl Human is no fashion-esta fur sure.
I rode to the Vet and he shot me in the shoulder. My Vet was sick today and he looked bad. Worse then me. I think he should have had the shot, not me. I came home and played with my ball. Girl Human left me to go to the store. So I just slept until she got home. I promptly got my ball out for us to play with. I ate a little tonight and rubbed Girl Humans leg to tell her, I forgive her this time.

Crossed paws here still

Things are going OK this week so far with me. I have been eating like crazy and doing better. I have had a few sneezes the last few days but no big fits like I have become famous for.
My fur Brother Decker had to have surgery today and what they thought was a big stone was a big blood clot. They did a few awful things to his bladder and put in another catheter. They won't let him come home until Sat. morning. He is still on IV's and Antibiotics.
Girl Human visited him yesterday and he was very mad at her when she left him behind. The Vet said he was going to move him to a larger cage today once he wakes up more.
My friend Blue(my FIV+ fur) is not doing well. His wound that refuses to heal in not accepting antibiotics any more. Girl Human said things come in three's.
Male Human is busy building a small outdoor enclosure for Decker to enjoy. He will not be allowed run in the outback freely.
This summer a overhaul of the house of Blue's will most likely. The project will include interior revamp with more run expansion connecting the house of Decker so all can roam further in safety. That was in the plan for when Blue decides to go to Rainbow Bridge. We know he misses in cage pal Icky II. She left for the bridge in July 2011.
Well that's the update at Calico Junction. Please do not feel sad as this is how things are when you have kitties with issues. It's something you can never get use to but, it is all of having a forever home for us special needs kitties.

Feeling like a Santa Claws today

This has been a good weekend for me. I did a dash and played with the gang when it was fun time last night. I didn't over due but, I was sure happy. I did have 2 sneezes this morning. No sneezing fits like I have been having. I sure hope this means that things are going to go right soon. When the medications wear off that I am my old self once again. I don't want Girl Human to have to be sad any more. This is the first weekend in several months that I have felt this good.

I sure hope Santa has lots of goodies for me this year. We already got a big package from Rex, Bugsy, Abby and the gang. Meshia wanted to open it when it arrived she was working on it when it sat on the counter. Girl Human put it under our little Christmas tree. To everyone's amazement Meshia has been extra good and not tried to open it. She sure did when it first got here. Once Girl Human put it under the tree she has not even gone close to it.

I sure hope Santa has a Cosmic Catnip Bag toy for me this year. Girl Human said it may not come in the sled. Santa Claws told her he has not been able to find me one. I will take a big bunch of them if, he can't find one.

I just Love, Love, Love them. Of all the toys to play with, I will spend hours licking and rubbing my little burlap pillow. Mine is so yuckie. It's all mine cause no one else will touch it. I'm glad I slobber all over it so no one will take it from me.

Well people I sure hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'm going to.

Still hanging in there everyone

I'm sorry I have not given any updates as to my progress but the news is still not good. I am still having a lot of problems and the Vet is not happy with my progress.
I received some new shots this week and it took 2 days before they started to help me. The last 2 days I have been having sneezing fits every once in a while. I was having blood coming out my nose in droplets but that has stopped now.
Girl Human changed my litter to an old litter I used a long time ago to see if all those additives they seem to be putting in now is, causing issues. Girl Human said the dust and odor even makes her nose hurt when she pours new litter the last few months. I don't know what awful stuff they are using but they need to quite trying to kill all of us while trying to kill the odors. If the odors are that bad in a box they need recommend changing foods.
We are still visiting the vet every week to 10 days and he is so frustrated too. The second vet can't give any answers either. We know that we need a lot of prayers and Crossed Paws here.
Thanks to everyone for all you have done for us. We are so very very grateful to each and every one of you.

There are not enough words

Dear Humans and furs


We are so grateful to everyone who helped us in raising the money for tests needed for our Peaches. All tests so far indicate no presence of cancer. So with a big sigh of relief we want to thank everyone on for your prayers, cards, contributions. The medication is helping maintain him for the time being. You guys are worth a million and I'm so very happy to know such great people.I can't begin to thank you enough.

I also would like to share with you a site of a live stream of 4 kittens and their mother. Check in on them now and then I'm sure they will give you a laugh.
