Arrival Story: He was born under a neighbor's porch and he had an upper respiratory infection at age 4 weeks. The vet took him from his mother, (no he was not weaned), we got him well, and not being weaned is why he is supposedly so heavy. The vet says he has "issues." His brother has taught to run from everything. His favorite hiding spot is under the bed.
Bio: He is not a typical siamese-mix. He has the markings, but not the voice, he squeaks. He is a big baby and BIG is the word. He comes when he is called, he is a VERY curious cat, loves to get in trouble, he talks back. He can open any door or cabinet. He does not realize how large he is. He is not the alpha-male, that is his brother, who constantly antagonizes him.
He is also a University President.

I thought this diary entry had already been posted, but I guess Catster ate it. They have been eating a lot of my posts.
Mom has been working a lot in the Floral Department because Valentines Day is coming. I have lost some weight and mom noticed my collar was too loose, but never had tightened it. Evidently dad come by and I had my paw caught in my collar, and I was chewing on my collar to try to get loose. Dad said I was rattled, and he picked me up, (I scratched and bit him), and he took my collar off, and held me for a moment. He then went to mom's work, and told her about it. She started crying and flew into his arms and was thanking him for saving my life (mom can be a bit melodramatic). I am doing well, and mom came home apologizing for being a bad kitty mom and threw the stupid collar in the trash.
I have had my first dose of my hyperthyroidism medicine. The medicine comes in syringes and mom has to measure it and put it on her gloved finger and rub it in the hairless part of my ear. She has to rub my ear for at least 30 seconds and since I like my ears rubbed, I didn't mind my first dose. The very nice pharmacist took the time to talk to mom and explain how it works, why it works, and even gave mom some gloves to use. The pharmacist said I should start to feel better and eat more and even put on some of my weight. I will have to be tested monthly for a couple of months to make sure my thyroid levels out, and doesn't begin to harm my kidneys or my liver. Hopefully, once my thyroid gets back on track, I can go to only one dose of medicine, daily. We are waiting to make sure I don't have any side effects.
Thanks for all the purrs, thoughts, pmails, and rosies. Keep the purrs going. I love you all.
I am looking better, my fever has broken, and I am eating a bit and drinking. I am up and walking around. I am not playing, yet. The vet just called and my thryroid is way out of whack. My thyroid is suppose to be in the range of 1-4 and mine is 14.7. Not only is my thyroid out of whack, it is forcing my heart to pump way to much and way to hard and also has elevated my blood pressure and is probably why I had the episode with the open-mouth breathing at the vet yesterday. There are several options, mom has picked up something called a prescription and has to go to a compounding pharmacy and they are going to make a topical ointment to be placed on the inside of my ear, twice daily. Hopefully this will lower my thyroid to 6-7, lower my blood pressure, my heart rate, but not hurt my kidneys, which if you lower your thyroid to low, to fast, it can cause kidney problems. This is suppose to be an old cats disease and I am NOT old. The vet says with this illness, cats usually live 3-5 years, so I won't make being an old cat. I have a vet re-check in a month to check the dosage and my vitals.
Once the prescription takes hold, I should start to gain weight and feel lots better.
Mom has canceled my teeth cleaning, because the surgery could put undue stress on me.
Thanks for all the purrs and please keep purring for me.
