I'm an eating machine!

MOL ~ just like in my younger days, I am eating like crazy.

Probably 'cause I've been feeling pretty good. It's been almost a week since I've been taking some pain meds & I've been feeling pretty good.
And, get this...I weigh more than I've weighed since October. I weigh 12 lbs, 1 oz.

I only act a little loopy every now & then, but not like I'm dizzy or anything. Momma came home for lunch yesterday to feed me & I was sleeping. I never even heard her come in or hear my brofurs & sisfurs run past me. Finally she had to put her hand on me & call my name.
I didn't eat much for her then, but I had already eaten almost 2 packets of food in the morning, so I really wasn't hungry.

So anyway, just thought I'd update how I'm doing.
Momma is glad that I'm doing so well. She was so worried about me last week and their upcoming trip....she was all ready to cancel it if I didn't start acting like myself again. That doesn't mean she's totally at ease, but she feels better 'cause I feel better!

purrs & hugs, Ginngie

I guess Momma knows best!

She really does. I mean, she's taken care of me since I was just two months old. Daddy takes great care of me too. I don't know what I'd do without either one of them!

So...this weekend I have been getting pain meds to see if that helps me get around better & to eat more. Well, I was skeptical. I thought it would just make me sleep. And being an almost 17 year old cat, I do a lot of that as it is.

Momma says these meds make me act normal. I've been sitting on her lap again and purring. A couple times last week I wouldn't purr for her at all, but I've been purring up a storm.

The first night I got the meds, I got to stay in momma & daddy's room. Momma got up around 1 and I was trying to tell her I was hungry. So, she went downstairs & got me some chicken. I was gobbling it down & then decided I was thirsty. Knowing me like she does, momma knows that I prefer the water bowl in the guest room. She opened the door & I went running down there. Momma closed the door & decided if she was gonna get any sleep at all, we would stay in there. I slept on the bed with her for awhile when she decided we needed to go back to our own room. Well, I showed her that those drugs didn't make me feel weird & I took off down the steps. I guess she decided since I went down ok that I would be ok roaming the house the rest of the night. Whew! I was glad that I could show her that.

So, now I'm gonna get off momma's lap & go take a nap!

purrs & hugs!

6 months today!

Today it is 6 months since they told us about this awful cancer.

I certainly can't complain, I've had the best stuff to eat...when I want & how much I want. I guess you could say that I'm spoiled. Momma says she wouldn't have it any other way.

She is still worried about me though. I started eating again Sunday & better on Monday, but momma says she sees something different in me. *shrugs*
She thinks there are little things that I do that she thinks that I'm not comfortable or in pain. She said that there's no way she would let me be in pain, whatsoever. So, maybe I should start talking to her, you think? I should let her know how I feel & tell her that I know she is always doing the best thing for me...and not to worry so much about me. Do you think she'd believe me?

I thought I heard her talking about calling the vet again. They talked about some pain medication they could give me to see if that would take the edge off & make me feel like eating. Sounds ok to me, I guess unless it makes me sleepy all the time. I think I sleep enough as it is.

You know, come to think of it....I haven't really been on momma's lap this week and I haven't licked her hair at night at all.. And I have done that since I was little. I've been moving a little slower too. But you know, I am almost 17. Give a cat a break, huh? MOL

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know how I was doing 6 months into this thing.

Thanks as always for all your purrs. I can feel them.

Purrs & hugs, Ginngie
