Thanks Catster and Everyone else!!

Today is my day..MY DAY...I'm chosen CAT OF THE DAY!! I've never had this honor before and let me tell ya'..it's quite exciting!!

Momma is proud of me. I can see the smile on her face as she reads what everyone pawmailed me and all the rosettes and stars I've received.

She doesn't want to forget about me, but today brought back alot of memories of her and I together and although it brings a tear to her eye, she can still smile.

I hear her when she says she misses me..or see her when she looks at my fur she has..I am still here with her and can't wait until we meet up again..

Anyways, thanks again to everyone! Even from up here, I can still visit with all my pals here...I never forget you guys!

One year has passed..

This last week marked the one year anniversary for my passing. Momma thinks about me often and I know she misses me. I was her baby..I was there for her for several years when it was just me and her..I will always be her baby!

I still look ove rAllie and can't wait to meet up with everyone once that day comes..

Love you all and miss you terribly but I am also in a happy place, with no pains or shots or sick days...just waiting for that day~

Love Stinky

Thanks to everypaw..

I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I'm happy and healthy again. Although I'm not here to comfort my baby sister, or cuddle with momma..I'm still here and they know it.
I watch over Allie all the time and see that she's developing into a bright, strong kitty girl. I'm so proud of her! She is starting to stand up for herself too with that pup, Miyah. I do love that girl!

Anyways, thanks to all the kitties and families that have sent rosettes and pictures and group invites for me..your all wonderful.

I got to go now..I'm getting fitted for my wings...Someone told me they were a little tricky to get used too..man, they weren't kidding! I ran into a tree..atleast it was an apple tree though, so I stopped for a treat:)

I'll be watching over all of you..just remember that~

Thanks again and I love and miss all of you and can't wait to meet up with my momma again one day~

Your done fighting now buddy...

This is Stinky's momma here. He had a tough day yesterday and just kept getting worse, he couldn't bouce back from this hurdle he was going through through this time.
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed he couldn't use his back legs. He would just kinda scoot around to where he needed to go. His personality and attitude were normal though. He let me lay with him and brush him like he always loved. Not a cry or whimper out of him but he never shown pain unless it was serious. We took him to the vet and they said he had one or more blood clots in his legs. We started him on blood thinners and dr. said to give him three weeks of antibiotics and a baby aspirin every three days.
We got him home and everything seemed normal (except for the lack of usage in his back legs but he was getting around better than earlier) Then later on in the evening, he was crying and whimpering. And Allie was wandering around crying too. He was gasping for air and couldn't get comfortable. We took him back to the dr. and he shown he was in a considerable amount of pain. He cried and yelped everytime the vet touched him. The dr. thought he had some nerve damage or something because although he didnt have much feeling in his hind legs, he sure felt tons of pain in his spine all the way down his back.
We didn't want him to be in pain and we didn't think he would come out of this and lead a healthy, fair life, so we decided to let him go. We stayed through the whole process. He licked my hand but wouldn't look at me much. I petted him and told him we all loved him and that he was done fighting. I feel like I lost my own child..but of course, thats what he was to me...my baby. I feel he's walking around the house with me and will always be by my side. From the moment we left the vets office, I feel he's sitting right on my shoulder, closer to my heart than anything..I miss ya' my lil' baby..I'm sorry I couldn't help you more than I did. I can't wait to see you again.

Blood Clots...

Today, momma was coming downstairs to gets some boxes cuz' we're moving and she found me stuck in a situation that I couldn't get out of. I was sitting on the stairs(like I always do) but I couldn't get my back legs to do what I wanted them to do.

So, momma picked me up and put me on the living room floor, thinking, I was just twisted in a pretzel and couldn't get my feet straight but it wasn't that easy. I stumbled and tried really hard to walk but I was just wobbling all over the place so I decided to just lay down. Of course that stinkin' dog of ours was trying to make me mad so momma made her go upstairs..

Again, she came down and tried to get me to walk but no go. So, she thought my blood sugar was low and so she checked it but I was 146. She knew I had to see a vet but she called daddy at work first and talked to him and tried getting me to walk on my own..still no go. She looked over my back feet, which looked ok to her other than me babing my right back leg. But other than that, I let her stretch it out and massage it and even push on the bottom of my paw to make me stretch out my toes(of course, I was purring the whole time so she knew I wasn't hurting anywhere)

So, daddy came home right away and I had to go to the VET. Man..did he make me MAD! I was the maddest momma has ever seen me. I even tried to bite daddy to make him let me go but I guess he's stronger than lil' ole me.

Anyways, so the dr. says I have atleast one blood clot which is causing me to loose function and control of my back legs. He said there is still small blood flow through my veins but it's very little. So, again, they made me mad by giving me a shot in my vein. It was a blood thinner to try to thin out the clot. He also put me on antibiotics for three weeks and I have to start taking a 1/2 tab of baby aspirin every three days.

I am managing to get myself around, regardless of not being able to use my back legs. We're hoping this blood thinner works for me otherwise momma doesn't know what she'll do.

So, keep me in your thoughts and hope for the best. We're moving back to Fargo this coming weekend..it'll be a lonnnnggg trip if I can't move around myself.

Back to ND we go!

So..we've had it with MT and we're heading back to ND! Yeah..

Does that mean these dogs get to stay here? Does that mean, we don't have to stay in the basement hiding from THOSE dogs?
Does that mean I can go outside and enjoy the nice breeze?

Oh..there's so many things I ponder about...Can't wait to get back there!

Meowwwooiieeeeee!!!

Stinky

Do I have a valentine?

So, this holiday called Valentines Day is coming here soon and so I should be on the lookout for my very own Valentines Date right? I mean, I can't have Allie be my valentine since she's my sister kinda?

Anyways, So I'm on the lookout..for a cutie patootie!

All I want for Christmas is...

I've made a list for Santa for what I want for Christmas..so here we go...

1. I would like to be able to roam my house without being chased by the dogs.

2. I would like to be able to cuddle on momma's lap like the good ol'days.

3. LOVE some treats please...momma says we're out and she needs to get more.

4. Would like to go outside but momma says there's snow..What's snow? Have I encountered that before?

5. For all the homeless kitties in the world find good, warm homes for the holidays.

That's all I can think of right now.I'm a simple-kinda guy..who doesn't ask for much. Oh Santa, please remember me when your doing your rounds this year. I'de greatly appreciate it!

Stinky

That time of year again..

So the tree is up and the flashing lights are a-flashing...but since we got this puppy in the house, I cannot claim my favorite spot under the tree...

Someday she'll learn that I'm boss and that she should not come after me...Someday..............Hopefully?!?

Until then..I'll keep to my domain downstairs and protecting my sister from that chocolate bear...

Another dog?

We got another dog..Or I should say Pup..because she's SOOO immature!

What are they trying to do to me? Make me have a heart attack?

I'm too old for this. I think I'll stay in the basement where they're not allowed!

Auugghh!
