I'm gettin better!!!

Today I had my last visit ta Dr. Sandra an I am soooo happy. I think my purrents are too.

Dr. Sandra pushed my bladder an if I coulda got near her, I wouldn't chomped right down. I peed all over the place. But Dr. Sandra said that was good an she was surprised at how well I been doin cuz she really wasn't sure I would make it.

Mommy never gave up. From the moment Dr. Sandra said Let me try... mommy knew I'd make it.

I'm a fighter. An I must meow...you'd be fightin too if they was talkin bout turnin ya inta a girl. HIIISSSSS!!!

Thank you Mikey an Mayflower, fur the pawsome rosette. Love the blue ribbon. Mommy says that means I'm a winner. An I think she's right.

Now if we could get poor daddy healthy again....

Thank you...

I would like ta thank Anonymous fur the POTP, that was very nice of ya!!

Jus wonderin...why did yur purrents call ya Anonymous??? Such a funny name, bol.

Good Thing We Have Nine Lives....

Fur the past few years, I been prone ta urinary tract infections. That's what I'm told it is. All I know is that I get times when it hurts really bad when I have ta pee.

Momma's been lookin after me wif pro-biotics an she buys quality food fur us. But momma had ta find out the hard way that she don't know it all.

A few days ago, momma knew I was havin a rough time cuz I didn't drive er crazy fur my breakfast. In fact she had to find me an I jus wasn't hungry.

Well, she didn't know how bad it was until she did the litter an my paper. I don't use litter anymore. Momma's been puttin down newspaper fur me.

Well, my paper had no pee on it. She called the vet an there was lotsa misunderstandins an I jus got worse. It was so quick an by Friday, I was so sick, my purrents took me in ta end my misery.

They brought us inta an exam room an momma asked "What...we're doing it here!?!?" Well, they planned ta do an exam first. Momma jus didn't want me in pain anymore an from what she was told, she believed it was too late fur me.

A nice doctor came in and talked ta momma bout tryin ta get somethin called a catheter in me. It's a good thing I was too weak, I must meow. Have ya ever had a tube stuck up your wazoo??? NOT FUN!!

But it helped. Lotsa blood came out as well as pee. Momma didn't have ta be convinced fur them ta keep me overnight. They also had somethin called in i.v. in me.

I got ta come home yesterday. I was still feelin pretty outta it but I'm told that I peed on momma last night an she was actually happy bout that. Strange breed, they are.

Momma slept downstairs wif me last night an made sure I got lotsa water in me.

This mornin we had ta go back ta the vet but it was someone else. He took me ta the back ta get my bladder drained. Hey...stickin a tube up my wazoo may be somethin ya can get away wif when I'm outta it but I was NOT impurressed at all.

Momma heard my snarlin as he was bringin me back ta them. Oh I was lettin him know how lucky he was that I still didn't have my strength back. An what does he do next???? Sticks a needle in my back end.

Well it's a good thing momma was holdin me where she was cuz he woulda got a good bite. I was REALLY ANGRY then an I was lettin em both know it.

When it was time ta go an momma picked me up, I bit er!! Yep...I bit er right in the arm. Course she had enuff clothes on that I couldn't get thru. She has no idea how lucky she is.

And what does she do?? She laughs. She says it's a good sign an I'm gettin my spunk back.

I ate some taday but my kitty, I can't seem ta stop peein all over everythin. I think it's got somethin ta do wif those pills they're forcin on me.

Hoomans really are a strange breed.

Please send POTP...

Yesterday my purrents had ta take me ta the vet cuz I'm really sick. Momma said my chronic UTI's musta caught up wif me an it caused a blockage. Right now I'm fightin fur my life. Momma wrote bout me on yesterday on her blog.

Please send lotsa POTP.

Scare fur mommmy

Last nite, Drew had a couple a furriends over ta jam wif im. Well...when day was leavin thru the band room door, I snuck out an nobody even noticed.

Well I guess mommy woke up dis mornin an found it strange when I wasn't dare ta beat er down da stairs an constanly meow fur her ta hurry up an get my tuna. She called me an dished out the tuna anyway so Tinky could have his. Den her & my daddy stawted a search fur me.

She even had Mollie outside pickin up my scent.

After a while, she was stawtin ta get really worried. Where we live there's not only the danger of predatory animals but there's these REALLY BIG trucks that go rollin by our house an that's why my purrents don't let me outside on my own. My birf mommy was killed by onna dose fast movin creatures on wheels when I was only 2 weeks old. An mommy's always sayin dat I'm mudder's son...whateva that means..

Finally, mommy was goin back out ta her garden an stawted callin me again as she was puttin her shoes on outside.

She was so surpurrised when she heard my meow an looked ta see me headin fur her. She said she was soooo worried bout me an was really glad I made my way home.

Dare was still tuna in da bowl fur me an I have ta meow.....Dare's no place like home....purrrrrrr

Meows & purrs....

Oh ta pee like normal....

Furrst, I wanna say thank you ta my good furriends Hazel Lucy an Casey fur leavin such nice, carin comments.

It's been bout a week now since my last accident, when I peed in Drew's bed....or did I tell ya'll bout dat one. Well it was an accident!!!

I been really enjoyin da special treats an da luvin. Every mornin now I get a helpin a Chicken Soup Furrr the Cat Luvers Soul.... an let meow ta ya...it'a soooo yummy. Even Tinky is beggin at mommy in da mornin.

Mommy decided ta keep us on da Orijen wif da Chicken Soup Furrr the Cat Luvers Soul ta balance it. I guess when it came ta what we're eatin...Orijen was da best ta her as furr as kibble. An my kitty, she is one fussy mommy.

I heard er more an once tell Drew dat she'd wanna put Tinky an I bofe on Raw but Drew don't wanna switchTinky....he thinks Tinky's too old. An ta be honest....Thinky is one little fusspot kitty, mol.

So...mommy's keepin up my probiotics in my Chicken Soup Furr the Cat Luvers Soul an my rescue remedy onta wunnerful chunks a lung....an me & Tinky get bottled water now....also dosed wif rescue remedy ;)

An wouldn't ya knows....I'm getttin better. An it makes mommy feel better cuz she didn't want my body on anti-biotics an such again.

So I guess we're all gettin happy.

Oh yeah...Daddy has a decent water system in da basement dat he could install...he jus needs ta pick up a few pawts. He actually used ta design & build control panels fur water purification systems fur dialysis units & stuff...but we don't wanna put holes inta dis house cuz it isn't ours.

Drew's band goes thru a LOT of bottled water so it's always here. Who knows....maybe daddy will hook up his unit afterall :)

Meows an purrs....

Gettin Better....

Well my little pee problem isn't compwetely gone yet but we are makin progress, I guess ya can meow.

Mommy's been askin lotsa questions an doin lotsa research, not ta mention spendin lotsa moolah. She luvs me....She really luvs me!!!

Last week, my purrents went out & bought da better kitty litter....hey I maya been born in a barn but I gots expensive taste. Mommy dumped out all da udder stuff an cleaned out da boxes....again. Den she filled em wif da good stuff.

She's also been givin me special treats an oh my kitty are dey yummy. She thinks I don't know she's slippin stuff in it but, in da big kitty picture....I jus luv the special treats.

I'm gettin dried lung pieces!!! Yeah der spiked wif some stuff called Rescue Remedy but I can't even taste it once it's all soaked in. Dat mommy ain't so dumb eider. She does a few pieces ahead so dey have time ta soak in. All I taste is dat yummy lung chunk an I want more.

I got raw ground beef a couple times, raw tripe, tuna an today, Tinky an I gots somethin new called Chicken Soup fur the Cat Lovers Soul. She sneaks somethin called a probiotic in there, wif cranberry extract. It's specially fur helpin an preventin UTI's.

And....momma also found some info that linked hard water ta UTI's. We live rural an our water is very hard. Momma was cleanin out der kettle wif vinegar water yesterday cuz it get's so gross. So now...as a yesterday.... Tinky & I are on bottled water.

An da best pawt. Der not allowed ta pick on me...nobody...even if I bite em, dey have ta jus walk away cuz I have ta learn ta get calm....whatever dat means.

I been usin da litter box but I still been havin a few accidents outside da box too. Mommy & Drew know I don't mean to. Dey jus clean it up again. Let's hope soon I won't be doin it at all anymore.

Meows an Purrs...

Da Pee, Da Pee....

Oh my kitty...dis infection thin is jus too much. I'm eider not peein at all or I'm peein in places dat make people run round panicky.

Last night as Drew's band was wrappin up, I went inside what looked ta me like a very comfie spot to pee. Guess it wasn't a good thin cuz next thin, I'm bein rushed outta the bandroom wif a trail a pee followin me. Not only was it all over da floor but it was all over Drew's shirt too.

I gues it was a guitar pedal case er somethin. Anyway, mommy was handin out da paper towels an vinegar water fur dem ta clean up da mess as she was gettin it from da floor. Mommy kept sayin "I am so sorry...he's jus got an infection"

It's not bad enuff, I have ta have pills forced inta me everyday but da humiliation of it all. Oh...woe is me.... *****saunterin off wif a trail a pee.....

Meows an purrs.....

sick kitty.....

It's been a while since I been on here. It's all mommy's fault but I'm not gonna rat er out, tellin all er biz an all.

Well it seems I gave poor mommy da scare a her life. It all stawted Sunday mornin....

Momma was sittin at er puter, drinkin er mornin coffee, when she heard dis loud howlin sound. I heard er askin poppa what that was but he was tryin ta figurin it out imself.

Day thought da ole smelly dawg maybe ate a chihuahua.

A while later dat sound came back again....only dis time dey saw me. Fur a while dey wasn't sure what was goin on wif me. Mommy called Auntie Susan cuz she jus finished writin a book wif a vet so she trusts what Auntie Susan says.

Well...da way I was howlin an hurtin down below, day all agreed it was best ta call da vet. Ooooh I hate da vet.

Well....I was in luck...fur a little while. Da vets in our area all kinda pool tageder an take turns bein on-call. When da emergency vet called momma back, I don't tink it went too well cuz momma hung up an I could hear her cryin.

Then I heard er talkin ta poppa an sayin dat dis vet wanted ta stick somethin up me ta make me pee an do all kinda things an dat I'd have ta stay dare an somtin bout lotsa money dat day didn't have.

When momma called Auntie Susan back, dey talked fur a while an mommy tole Auntie Susan how I left some drops a pee....but oh did it hurt ta get out dose drops a pee.

An after a nap, I even ate some food. Day bofe agreed dat I did not have ta go in ta get dis thin stuck up me an all dat. Mommy kept a good watch on me an gave Auntie Susan full reports.

By dis mornin, I was peein everywhere....oh how embarrassin. ****mommy do we really have ta say dis???? But I tell ya, it was nice ta get da pee out. *****ahhhh mommy!!!

Mommy called da vet people dat we go to...when we go...an Daddy came home early. By then she knew I had a UTI.

I was scared goin dare an now I remember why. Dis guy was not nice at all. He stuck dis long thin right up my bum an as much as I fought, he continued ta violate me. Momma held on to da front a me. She tried tellin me it's gonna be ok but how am I s'posed ta believe dat wif some weird thin stuck up my butt. I was hissin an momma thought I might even bite er. But even den she thought it was good cuz she says I was so lethargic yesterday.

Den he left an I thought I was safe but oh no he comes back in wif some sharp jabby thin in sticks in my backside.

I heard im tellin momma dat she might wanna switch my diet ta something like Science Diet. Momma tole him "no way - she's read their ingredients" an dat she would research a food that would keep this from comin back.

I'm not howlin anymore an momma thinks I'll be better in no time. She says I'm a fighter....don't know why ****puts on best angelic look.

Well it's been a tirin couple a dayzzzzz.......

meow an purrs.....

My friend da water sprayer....

I'd like ta indraduce ya ta a friend a mine...it's kinda a odd friend but a friend none da less. It's a water sprayer. I knows, I knows...I'm a cat. I'm s'posed ta not like da water sprayer; givin the 2-leggeds da advantage a usin it against me when I do things dey don't want me doin.

But it backfired on dem .... kinda like a bad dawg fawt, mol!!

See....I happens ta luv da water sprayer. Yep, I does!! I get right up close an start drinkin from it...beggin fur more.

Well taday I was takin it easy on a table, soakin up some rayzzz by my water sprayer. Daddy sat down an gave me a little spray. Dat was it...I was up, quicker dan you can meow Jak da cat. I sauntered over to da water sprayer an stawted lickin it fur more. He knew what i wanted. He stawted givin it a few more sprays an I jus hung right on.

Course...mommy decided ta go fur that camera thingy again. I think she's a bit weird, if ya ask me.

Once I had enuff...I laid back down ta enjoy the rayzzz. Well jus as I was nice an relaxed...guess what decided ta come over an bother me?? Yep...da smelly Mollie dawg...hsssss. An I didn't even go fur her tail, mol!!

Now here comes da best pawt of all. Mommy said real firm.. "Mollie leave it!!" (ok....so I'm not thrilled at bein called an it, but....) then she grabbed my friend da water sprayer an turned it round ta face da smelly Mollie Dawg.

Dat was it!! She laid back down, mol.

I rock!!! Well...me an my water sprayer, mol.

Meows an purrs.....
