My goodness....I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've updated my diary here! I do, however, have a very good reason for that ---

In my previous entry from last summer, I wrote about how I hadn't been feeling too well and that my daddy was being a pest by constantly hovering over me. Though I did have days when I was feeling a bit better, I eventually found myself feeling just awful ALL the time....something that really made my daddy sad. He told me one night that I just had to get better because he hadn't had nearly enough time with me. This of course is to be expected from humans, because there is no such thing as TOO much time with a cat (we are of course the superior form of life).....

Anyway, my daddy brought me to the doctor.....and she did the most HIDEOUS things to me!! My feline friends, when you visit the doctor, DO NOT let them take your temperature!! You would not believe WHERE they put the thermometer!!!! There were x-rays taken and the doctor told my daddy that I had something called "bladder stones" ...the doctor told daddy that I may be in renal failure and his eyes got all wet. I heard the doctor say that surgery had to be done if I were to survive but there was no promise that I'd make it. The doctor left my daddy and I alone, and he told me how much he loved me and that he had to do whatever it took to make me well. It was quite touching--perhaps humans are more acceptable creatures than I thought?

The next thing I know, I'm being wheeled into an operating room and when I woke up my daddy was standing next to me telling me how happy he was to see me! I was still VERY sleepy, but my daddy stayed with me for quite a while.

When I came home from the hospital, I was very sore and quite appalled that one of my legs had been shaved bald and my tummy was also shaved bald!!! But my daddy was so sweet to me that I hardly noticed--and within a week I was feeling grand!! I hadn't felt that good since I was just a little girl!!

Life is now so much better for me -- I have completely recovered -- my bald leg and tummy are now once again covered with my beautiful fur and I have once again reclaimed my position as Queen of the House.

The only downside of my new lease on life is that my daddy now tells me every single day how much he loves me and how glad he is that I am still around!

HUMANS!
