It's been awhile since I had a new entry...
Recently I've been sick. I went in to see my doctor and she said I lost too much weight. I had to have another blood test which showed that my liver values were even higher, but no reason I should weigh so little. I had to start taking those liver vitamins again. They're huge and ucky, so pill pockets only fool me for so long.
I have been eating everything in sight which is why I had to have an appointment in the first place, but my test results always show no thyroid problem. *I wonder where my thyroid is??*
That's when everyone got worried and I had to go to a big clinic and I had to wait over a week to get an appointment. They shaved me half naked *indignant* and took pictures of my insides. My liver looks fine, so I just have to keep taking my liver vitamins and new liver healthy crunchy food, AND new liquid liver medicine. I thought I might like it for a while, but the chicken taste didn't fool me for long...Now they stuff a syringe in my mouth at dinner. Luckily, since I am so hungry all the time, I get to keep eating my canned food twice a day. I have a very smart doctor because they also gave me an advanced thyroid test just in case -my vet's old kitty had the same problem but was undiagnosed for a year before this test showed a hidden thyroid problem. Just days later I had more pills in the mail. These are for my thyroid, but they're so tiny that I suspect they are sneaking them into my treats...Whatever they're doing must be working because I am shinier and my bones don't stick out so much anymore. I'll see my doctor soon and maybe I'll have gained weight? I had my 17th birthday too.
Then last week mommy brought this tiny little ball of evil into the house. I heard her say that she had found a homeless kitten in a bad neighborhood and brought it home so she wouldn't get hurt.
Why do I think it's evil? It's the same color as TRAVIESA, the foster cat that came here 5/6 years ago and never left. I can deal with her orange brother because he's my daddy's kitty now...Back to the evil...Traviesa was that small when she first came here and made those weird noises, but I guess she wasn't this cute. It's name was Alex, named after daddy's friend's daughter who found and helped her. My mommy found it a home after the doctor, and her friends, and daddy's mom all couldn't take it. My mommy wanted to trade it for Traviesa and I don't think she was kidding. My doctor was going to take her over a year ago, but her husband said no.
Alex's new name is Allie and she went home with my mommy's mommy's co-worker. I'm glad because my mommy was always in the other room with her and Allie was always meowing and purring...I hear she moved in with a new sister that looks just like her (and like Traviesa)
My mommy is planning on bringing Allie's brother or sister home too if she can get someone to catch it. Her other brother got taken into the house above the porch it lived under and her mom is too wild...
well, that's all that's new for now.
