Ponderings of a Biscuit

It's Monday!

Today was mom's first day of her new job. (Cleaning.)
Mom's fairly tired. In fact, she needs to mop HER floors but the last thing she wants to see right now is a mop.

She'll do it tonite =)

Patrick is being a hater, mol. Mom ran out of his tonic and gave him something called "nutri-cal" which is supposed to have an irresistable flavor. Patrick wasn't crazy about the taste of his Liqui-tinic but it's thin and goes right down. THIS new stuff is thick and sticky and smells like yeast and molasses. Mom likes molasses...but this is gross.
Patrick gagged it and had to swallow twice. It discolored his fur and his breath still smells of it sometime later. The smell is on mom's hands.

Since the stuff also has phosphorus, mom has to mix a phosphorus binder into it as well.

Maybe dogs like this stuff but none of the cats will even look at it. Giotto actually fled the room.

And we're having a fleas in the humid hot Texas summer. They may have come in the house on mom's shoes from the yard. (The neighbors have dogs.) Mom's vacuuming and powdering the kitties. Mom's going to get some more Frontline when she gets her check. (Christopher even has buttworms because of eating a flea.)

"TOO MUCH INFORMATION" ~Christopher

Oh my, I guess I'd better stop while I'm ahead, mol!

Bless,
Biscuit

Mom's going to make a little headway!

My mommy will be going in to clean a store. She starts Monday.
She got her schedule and she works for about 3 hours a day and it's alllll the way back to minimum wage for her...but a little something is better than a big nothing.

It's sure not retail management, it's more like doing floors and stuffs, but it's a step up from the present situation.

Of course mom's still looking for a job that helps pay the bills mol but it's something until then ;)

Thank you everycat who's purrred for us kitties and my mommy.
It sure has helped.
Patrick's cheek looks great and there is no more draining from it. It hasn't filled again at all in 12+ hours. He's still getting his "facials" (his warm compresses) he likes them so.
His face is kinda hairless and pink over there mol.

So it's good news tonite =)

Purrrs and Bless,
Biscuit

Patrick's Doing a Lot Better.

Wow my brofur Patrick is doing so much better today. That ol potassium must've been really unbalanced and the stress of his emergency surgery really knocked him over the weekend...but Monday brings much better news.

NO more crooked stiff neck and front legs and weaky backlegs.
He's more alert and even jogging where he goes. And eating good. Really good. His infection was SO much better with the surgery but the stress of the surgery itself really made him feel bad.
Real bad.
Now he's getting strength back and we're very happy.
He still has his CRF, of course, and it's one day at a time, but he's enjoying his day =)
We aren't going to try to analyze it, just be happy and embrace it!

Gosh, we can never express how grateful we are for the purrrs and support. Patrick would like me to thank everycat.
There are no meows to express how we feel and how much we appreciate all you guys and girls have done.

Bless you all and Purrrs to each and every one of you and to the mommies and daddies who love you!
