Saying thank you to my saviours

Mommies brought chocolates and thank you card to the neighbours who saved me from the tree. Beryl & Bruce were at home and very pleased to see me back on all four of my feet hehe. I was so excited in their garden, running mad and jumping up their bench. I feel relaxed there, as if it is my own garden...

Tag! You're it! Game

Jakey tagged me in the "Tag! You're It!" Game (rules below).

Seven Random Facts about Me:

1) My teeth are white and healthy because my Mom does this annoying thing called 'brushing'

2) I love playing chase with my sister Phoebe, click on our video on my profile and rate it when you have time

3) Mommies have hamsters, once I caught one of them in my mouth for fun but didn't bite it. Mom went mad so I dropped her quickly. She was unhurt and gave birth to 6 pups, all of them survived.

4) My back legs feel much better these days. 2 days ago I jumped for the first time since 'the incident on the tree' (read previous entries for details)

5) Those anti-flea drops (frontline and strong hold) makes me blink for ages when Mom put them on my neck. I blink and blink blink blink...

6) I purr for no particular reason when I lay in bed with Mommies

7) My favourite nap spot is the flower pot in the garden. Grandad emptied it specially for me to sunbathe in

The "Tag! You're It!" Rules:

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write in their own diary about their seven things and the rules of the "Tag! You're it!" game. You also need to choose seven other cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave each cat you tagged a comment (Catster Paw Mail) that you tagged them and instructions to read your diary for details of game play. Have fun tagging and meeting new kitties (hint: check recently updated diaries to find some kitties who haven't been tagged that might have fun playing the game.)!!!

Seven Catsters I tagged:
Jillian, Huxley, Boo, Moot, Pookie, Playdoh Swat, Buga Loo

Slow recovery... and I'm housebound for another 2 weeks

It has been 10 days since I was saved from my neighbour's tree. I was dicharged from the vet clinic 4 days post injury after x-ray. My pelvic x ray was fine, but they had to put me under general anaesthetic briefly to have that taken.
I am still having daily painkillers and I still waddle when I walk. I haven't been able to jump properly since the incident. Today was my first follow up appointment and Kate the vet said I probably had obturator nerves compression where my pelvis was stuck for so long. She joked that it's an injury cows usually get when they slip and land on a funny position.
Mom got worried as I may have permanent weakness in my hindlegs if my nerves don't regenerate. I hope I can jump again.
Anyway, it was not so bad staying in with moms, granddad and phoebe. Phoebe tries to play with me like she did in our video on the website, but honestly I can't keep up with her at the moment... just wait till made a full recovery Phoebe!!

Mom is worried

I am still recovering in the pet's hospital. I can't feel my back legs at the moment. Mom said my right hind leg felt dead yesterday when she visited, a bit like a stuffed animal's leg. They are terrified. They are worried that both my back legs are injured to an extent that I may not regain functions of my legs, but they won't know until the vet opens again tomorrow (Monday).
Because both my back legs are affected, they are concerned that the vet will suggest having me put down... It'd be devastating if I can't go home with my Mommies...

My name is NOT stray!!

What a pickle I got myself in on Thursday night. I went out as usual overnight and got stuck on my neighbour's tree. I must have fell from above and my back legs became lodged on a big V shaped branch. I stood only my front paws on a branch for over 12 hours, without food or drink...
Just as I was losing hope, the owner of the house heard my wimpish meow when she returned home from work. She couldn't get me out so a nice gentleman next door climbed on the tree and spreaded the branches in order to rescue me. What a relief when nice Beryl took me to my vet.
But they thought I was a stray!! The tracer reader didn't pick up my microchip! So i was named as stray.
Mommies were panicking after not seeing me for over 24 hours and they cycled in the local area searching - shouting my name, how embarrassing!
They spoke to Beryl and turned up in the vet soon after on Saturday night. I'm not able to put weight on my back legs at the moment. My right leg feels dead... perhaps i've fractured something...
But I'm happier now that I'm looked after and visited by Mommies. The vet will probably x-ray or scan me on Monday. The lovely vet nurse and the good neighbours love me as I'm very naughty but friendly... Hopefully they can save my poor legs.
I'll keep you posted.

Earthworm

It has been sunny for weeks and I have been doing a lot of gardening - making holes in the garden!! Mummy didn't know what I was up to for days until he found me flipping my trophy yesterday - the earthworm!!
Yup, I was very chuffed and kept tossing my earthworm up in the air, rolling on the grass with my paws all over it. But Mom wasn't impressed and she nearly vomited...

Finally Mommies are home

Mommies were away on holidays for 3 days and grandpa was given the responsibility to look after me and Phoebe (my dog sister). He has done a good job really but it was a relief to see mommies home this morning as I can have my regular meals again.
I didn't show half as much excitement as Phoebe did though... afterall I'm a boy and there is no need to express my feelings. Phoebe is such a typical Mommy's girl.
