I am Diary Pick, Sad News and Medical Update

Whee I am a Diary of the Day Pick!

Thanks to my good furend Buddie for letting me know. I was just getting up and I heard his Angel Wings fly by with the news. He is one cool Angel Kitty.

Now on to the latest with FIV:

We regret that Big Bob went over the Bridge on Monday. Bob had FIV and was 14 years old. Please stop by to support his family. We really loved Bob.

Now my FIV news. Many know that I have been battling an eye infection since I was a kit. Pops had given me medication and eye drops many times but it never cleared up.

Pops would wait a month or so between trips to the vet and this was, oh, let's see, I think it was the 6th. I sang the whole way there. Mi-Mi-Mi, oops, sorry, I get sidetracked sometimes, anyhow, we saw the new vet Dr Jack. He was the guy who did the family a few months ago. A very nice guy. Efficient and knew his stuff when Pops gave him the dope on our families peccadillo's.

He checked my eye. Looked at my gums and noted the gingivitis. Something else I have had since a kit. Well he sat down with a special book on medications. He went out and brought in some ointment. I had that before. Pops held me while Dr Jack put it in my eye and, and it was fine.

This new ointment just kind of melted into my eye and did not have that goopy action. Nice.

We got home and Pops right away put me on his lap and gave my liquid Clindamycin. Again, not bad. A bit more than usual and I finished it up last week. It was a big dose. 1ml twice a day and the bottle was empty in about 6 days. We are finishing up my ointment tonight. My eye looks very good. My gums look better. Much better.

Now do not feel bad for me as Pops gives me CHICKEN! Every dose I run up, Pops puts me on his lap, medicine in, the CHICKEN! Yes!

Now Pops will give a little to any other cat who may stop by to watch but I get the most.

So I will keep you informed of my medical progress.

Love you all

Making Big B Progress

Mr B here. Thanks Furend for wishing me well. Love you all!

So about that Big B Progress
B for Because
B for Buttons
B for Big
B for Boy
So Because Buttons is a Big Boy that I got to do Cat-Tree Training with Timmy. Wow. Really cool stuff.

Mss Fitz is all into battle moves in the morning, noon and night. Truthfully I do not know where she gets the energy. I saw her on the Tree with Tim and had to try it myself so got in line.

Check Timmy's diary for the cool pictures of her and Buddy being Schooled.
I asked Pops not to photo me since it was my first time. That Tim really has the moves. Me and Fitz then chilled on the couch. Until Buddy came over. Buddy-Bud went Blah Blah Blah...

Wow can he gab. MOL.

A fast update on my Medicine.
I am all done my Clindamycin and must say it seems to be working. Goodness I have had Kitten Goopy-Eye since, well, since I was a kitten. I think it is GONE! Yay! Pops says we have to keep the eye medicine going till it is gone but that is fine with me! It means Chicken. Yum!

Be nice to each other.
It is important for our pawrents peace of mind.

I had to go to the V-e-t. Oh My!

Well furs you all know I have FIV.
It is not bad at this time but it does keep me from having a normal cat immune system. Pops told me cats have a very highly developed immune system so with mine being a bit compromised I was more like a human. He assured my I had more immunity than a dog. Whew.

So anyhow.
My eye has been weeping for a long time. Pops gave several courses of eue drops. He actually used 2 whole bottles up. The eye got a little better and then would goop up again. You can even see it in some of my photos. I was starting to get a bit photo shy so I guess going to the v-e-t was best. Not that I liked it.

I was singing the whole way there. I sang in the waiting room. I sang on the way home.
Meow meow meow.
O So Lo Meow
Meow MeeeOwwwooowww Meowow
Meee Owww Meee Owww Meow
Mew Mew Mew Mew Mew
The cat doctor was nice. He gave me my vaccinations last visit and the drops.

So I have an ointment and a medicine.
This ointment is really good. Not like some I had way back when I was a foster. This kind of disappears into my eye and does not goop up. My eye is better already. Only 2 days.
The medicine is a kind I took before. Clindamycin. Not bad really. My does is big though.
I get a nice little cube of white meat chicken breast when I sit in Pops lap and take my medicine in the morning and evening.
Tonight I wanted to be ornery and made Pops squirt it on his hand.
Silly man
He didnt get mad.
He says there is plenty left and laughed
I hope plenty chicken too I want to get all better for my holiday photos
My eye is looking better already

Howling on Halloween

Wow this is going to be a fun time!
Pops says we can have a real party and frolic about on the 31st since he is off work. Meeee-Owwwww!
Trouble is me and FItz bot have the same costume. I wanted to be Rocket cat. She said she was Space cat. Well I guess that will be fine.

Hoping all my furends are safe from Sandy.
Purrs to all!

My First Reporting Job!

Wow!
Tim is giving me, Mr B, the honor of reporting the Catoberfest at Tabby’s Place. I will do the bestest best I can Timmy!
So First Pops drove to Ringoes NJ which is close to New Hope PA. He went over the bridge and through the woods.

This is the front of Tabby's Place.

This is the big tent where there was a silent auction.

Here are some of the rooms. The cats go to different rooms depending on temperament and other things.

Look how cozy it is. Amazing.

Really a nice place for cats.

This is Little Dot. Pops is one of her Guardian Angels.
She has Spina-Bifida. That does not slow her down though. She can climb a cat tree like anything.
This was the blessing of the Animals. A very nice service.
So that was Pop’s trip to Tabby’s Place. Here is the link if you would like to see more.

So did I do OK? I hope so.
I have really gotten settled in. It is hard to believe that it has been over 6 months. Wow. Pops says he knows it has because I am getting so big. I am now 13 pounds and he says I may need a diet! NOOOOO! I like treats. I will work out more with Tim.

I have also been sleeping in the bed and we each have our own spot. Amazing that 6 cats can live so closely.

So that is my report and a little update on myself. Thanks so much for visiting my page. I love you all so much. Purrs.

Thanks cats! It is an honor!

Mr Buttons

Oh my goodness you Man-Cats are so easy to get excited.
It is an honor I must admit.
Well I have news too.

And the truth is that, well, I was only busting Toby's chops when I said I liked Mr Buttons tail better. The truth is we were litter mates and he was just playing along.
Toby, you are a really Handsome Man-Cat. Maybe a bit too handsome. I was not sure you would really like a plain tabby like me so I did what girls do. Sorry my Handsome Man-Cat.
Can you furgive me and be my kitty cat fur the holidays? I sure would like that. Can we play and chase around the house and keep warm at night?
I hope so.

Fitz

An Important Job!

Hey all my furry pals. I have had a great week.

I have finally worked up to sleeping with Pops, most nights that is, not all, but most. And you know what? It is nice. We all have a place and when Pops rolls over we shift places. It is much easier than I thought it would be. Except when Rumpy gets wound up of course. Rumpy. Oy.

Now that I have my Man-Cat Hard Hat Pops has given me a big cat job.
I am working to get the other cats to dig into the chicken meals that Pops makes fur us.

I have to show them how much I like it. Pops puts it down and I run over and dig in. Buddy, Rumpy, and Fitz are on board. Toby and Timmy are a bit hesitant. What is with those old cats anymew? It really is an easy job but he says I am a good influence.

Thanks Pops fur making me feel so at home here.

Have a good week my furends!

Mr B with FIV (We need love too!)

I'm an Official Man-Cat

Goodness Catness!

I am an official Man-Cat with my very own Hard Hat. Golly gee whiskers! What a wonderfur thing. I didn't think they would give me one even though Tim said not to worry. It may be that my special Angel, Stinker, put a purr in fur me.

I am just over the moon. My tail is up and quivering. My paws going up and down making bread. My purr motor is running full throttle. I am running back and forth. Whee!

What a great bunch of cats we have here.

Important Song About FIV

Hi Furends

This song was posted on Catster today by the Cat Lady Sarah Donner
Thanks young lady. We appreciate you attention to this issue.
Check it out

Many in Rescue treat us like the humans treated Lepers!
Oh, Wait, Right, Its HUMANS who treat us like that.
It seems patterns of discrimination and, yes, stupidity, still abound in the non-furred!

Thanks Pops for loving me for who I am and not treating me any different than my mates.
