Adventures of a Slightly Older Used Kitten

Thank you Scooter!

I'm not big on diary entries from the Rainbow Bridge but I just had to send a big thank you to my furriend Scooter (http://www.catster.com/cats/144863).

Scooter is one of the administrators of the Olde Furts group on Catster and recently redecorated their main page. Such skill, such talent.... It looked fantastic.

Then, I had a closer look.

OMC! there I was with my daughter Penny in the banner! So flattering!

Thank you Scootie!

Goodby From Mr Skins

Mr Skins passed away today at 20.75 years of age. She had been off colour for a few days and went to the vet to get checked out.

On investigation Mr Skins was discovered to have many fractues in her top jaw with malignant cancer.

She passed away peacefully.

Thank you to all her catster friends for making her last days so much fun.

She will be missed.

Mr Skins mummy.

Sunday morning vet visit

Do those words send dread through other kitties? I get scared. That happened to me today. My sweet breath following the extraction of my teeth has disappeared. My drool has had drops of blood, and my breath (as daddy puts so indelicately) smells like feces!

Mummy could probably have tolerated poor mouth odour, but I've also been a bit off my food and water. In fact I've lost 300gm over the last 3 weeks. Not good for an old furt who is underweight normally anyway.

So, once more I got prodded and proked. The news wasn't too good.

I have to go back tomorrow for the senior vet to check me out. The vet thinks I may have broken my top jaw somehow due to brittle bones. The smell is from food catching in my gums. I'm dehydrated and may need subcutaneous fluids. Oh for the health of my youth!
