My Tail of Devotion for Arnold P.

Arnold is my sweetie-boy. He has been with me for ten years, ever since he weighed two pounds and was barely a handful. He started out kind of sickly, but I took special care of him and he pulled through. He didn't gain weigh for a long time, but suddenly, he just blew up and now weighs 15 pounds. For ten years, he was just a healthy, happy boy who LOVED his Mom.

Arnold is named in honor of a famous golfer because I adopted him the same day I found out the famous golfer has a childrens hospital named after him in Orlando. I thought that was such a cool thing for the golfer to lend his name, time and money to, that I started calling the baby cat Arnold!

My Arnold has recently been diagnosed with renal failure. It is getting worse, despite renal diet and I am very discouraged. But I have decided to do whatever it takes to keep him happy and as healthy as he can be for as long as he lives. I know he loves me, and it's the least I can do for him. He is, after all, my sweetie-boy.

This is a special Tail of Devotion

I was the Senior Cat of the Week!

My Mom was very proud when she told me that I had been chosen as Senior Cat of the Week for the week of September 25. I didn't really DO anything to get such an honor, except sit nicely for pictures. But I was very honored and I tried to be a REALLY good Senior Cat. I played, but with dignity. I ate, but neatly. And I loved my Mommy, but I couldn't restrain myself on that one and did it TOTALLY without any boundries. I was a purring, head-butting fool. I hope I made the people who chose me for this honor proud.

NEWS FLASH!

My Mom made me go to the vet AGAIN! She wanted to get me checked up for the renal failure. Well, Ha-Ha. I don't have renal failure. I got bad numbers on the blood test because I wouldn't eat that ugly old renal diet. Once Mom began feeding me food I liked, I pigged out (no Arnold the PIG jokes, please) and my renal functions all returned to normal.

Remember, it's all about getting our own way, no matter what we have to do!!

Best Kitty Treat EVER!!!

Well, my Mom has gone and found the best cat treat EVER. It goes on her (OUR) bed. At night time, she pushes a little button and this thing (I think she called it a blankie) gets WARM! It's like sitting in the sun, only I'm in bed, on top of Mom! And if I stretch out to my full length, which is VERY long, I can even make Mom move over to the cold side! I highly recommend that you all try to get one of these things for Christmas!

The boat

Well, Mom finally posted the pictures of me in my boat! I am such a seasoned sailor, I was a little unhappy with her for not posting them sooner. I hold the line and steer and sail all over my world. I never get wet, because my boat is in good repair. When I am done sailing, I pull into port and the dock master (Mom) secures the lines and then I disembark. It is great fun. I am in control, and am not even a little afraid. (I wouldn't get in if I weren't in control!) I am the Kitty Kaptain!!

Wow, I am totally psyched and honored to be the "Navin and Buds" Bud of the day!!!!! I have been in some great company in this group. I will try to keep up the high standards of fun and play for the group. Thank you Navin!

Bud of the WEEK?!?!!

Holy Smokes, my honor of "bud of the day" was expanded to "Bud of the WEEK! Does life get any better than this?

Being a bud of Navin's is no small thing. Navin is such a special kitty. He wears pants EVERY day! Not just for dress-up. And he gets a bath every OTHER day. And that speaks volumes about his Mom and Dad, too. Cats are traditionally thought of as low maintenance pets. But Navin is super HIGH maintenance, but they clearly love him and care very deeply for him. And they share him with all of us through Catster. How lucky are WE!

Thanks Navin, and ALL the buds.

Can it be???

I just found out I am Super Stroller of the WEEK! This comes on the heels of being Navin and Buds " Bud of the Week! I'm not quite sure why I have been singled out for such honor, but I am thrilled, none-the-less.

I have been a dedicated stroller for 2 years now and recommend it to all kitties. It is SO FUN!! You get sun and wind and smells, and no danger from cars and dogs and diseases. And you don't have to walk on a leash, which all but a few of us hate, anyway! And it's good for your people, too. They get exercise and get to stare down their neighbors! Fun, FUN, FUNNNN!!!

Thanks, Rocky Ann!

Arnold's agonies

Boy, it is tough being in charge of a house.

This morning, Mom woke up with a sore throat and a fever. She didn't feel very good, so I had to stay in bed with her. And since she felt a little cold, I had to lay on the 'lec-trick blankie with her. THEN, I had to hold her hand so she wouldn't feel lonely.

MAN! A cat's work is never done!

My Mom is getting better!

My Mom went to the doctor today. He looked at her throat and said "YUCK!". It's always good to get a professional opinion!

But Mom understood, because he is her pal. She got medicine to take to help me get her well. There's just so much a cat can do by himself!

I'm exhausted from all this nursing care! But the extra 'lec-trick blankie time is good! It was only 25 degrees here last night. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
