Our whole family is deeply saddened by the news that Alfie made his journey to the Bridge. Briana and Momma are inconsolable. Alfie was Briana's best friend on Catster. Who else but Alfie could put up with a hater like her? He was always so sweet and loving and kind and supportive of her, even when she was being a grouch . . . which is most of the time. We love you, Alfie, and we're purring for your Mom.
The bit of good news we have to share is that Bob has gained 3/4 of a pound in the three weeks since he came to live with Momma. She brought him to the vet tonight for blood work. The vet should call tomorrow with the results. Please keep your paws crossed that we get more good news.
All day Momma's been fretting over pilling Bob tonight. Why do the things that are supposed to make him feel less nauseous have to taste so bad that they make him drool and vomit?
Well, the beautiful, intelligent, resourceful Hazel Lucy had suggested we try bribing Bob with SPAM. So tonight (at 1/4 of 5 instead of 1/4 of 11 - MOL!) Momma went to the store for some SPAM. The pills are small enough that Momma was able to take a really small piece of SPAM and cut a slit in the side to stick the pill in. She dropped it down Bob's throat and he tried to spit it out, but then swallowed it! Momma washed it down with some water, and so far he hasn't warfed it back up! He hasn't even drooled! We're keeping our paws crossed that this works. It would make life so much easier for both Momma and Bob!
Everyone, please join me in purring for our dear friend Arnold P. He is very sick with diabetes and the vet is afraid they might lose him to diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening complication of the disease.
We believe in the power of the purr. I have started a candle page for Arnold P. Please drop by and light a candle and send a purr and a prayer for Arn and his Mom.
