I need purrs

Last week my mom noticed my breathing was a little rough. She thought it might be allergies or I was getting a cold. The next day it was a little worse so mom called for a vet appointment that afternoon. She thought she was over reacting. When she got home, I was much worse! My sides were working hard to push air and even my little pink nose was opening hard to suck air in. Mom was happy she had called for sure. We got to the vet, and he said my heart sounded fine, no temp and he didn't feel any lumps. Whew! He took xrays and all we saw were bones and fluid. He took me in the back and tapped my chest with needles and got a cup of fluid out of me.That's a lot guys. I got a shot of lasix and mom took me home.I lost a lot more fluid that night in the litter box..let me tell you heeheee. The lab said I have lymph in my fluid. That is called Chylothorax. There were no cancer cells.
But why do I have this fluid?? There are 3 regular diagnosis. The best one is congestive heart failure. So we are going with that for now cuz I am an optimistic cat :) I am on lasix at home now and will go in for more xrays and a check up Tuesday. So far, I feel great now!! So please purr that the lasix is all I need and the vet doesn't find anything else wrong in me.
Thanks dear furiends.

I was tagged !

I was tagged by my young furriend Milo. Now I am IT !

1) Do you ever wake up your parents at night?

You betcha I do! I wake mum up so she can help me get under the covers. And I wake her up if she has her back to me too long. And I wake her up for breakfast Every morning. Gee, she would sleep in past 6 if it wasn't for me.

2) Do you ever tear things up?

Not really anymore. I am 10 and all growed up now. But once a in a while, I pee on stuff! Hehe, that's even naughtier isn't it?

3) What is your favorite treat?

I like them all! Little pieces of meat or cheese are my favorites though. Yummy in my tummy!

4)Can you fetch something when asked to?

I love to play fetch with my toys. But I ask. Mum throw the toy will ya?

5) Have you ever lived any place other than where you live now?

Yup, I have been around the block a few times. I was born under a tree. Then I lived in a basement with my litter mates. Then mum decided to adopt me so I moved upstairs. Then we moved into our condo (My favorite place) Then to the house we are in now.

Any one who wants to play tag can copy my diary, delete my answers and add their own. Let me know if you play so I will read your diaries for sure.

Happy mother's day

Happy mother's day to my two moms! I still live with my mommy Molly. I have never known a day without her. She was all around me before I was born . When I was born, she licked me and kept me warm and told me she loved me with a purr . Then, a little later, I found hot breakfast! Ohh was that good. It was so good I ate a lot and got bigger. When my eyes opened I saw my human mum for the first time. I already knew her smell because she picked me up and held me everyday since I was born. She told me she loved me too. When I got big enough, Molly turned off the buffet and human mum started feeding me. So , today it's my turn to say I love you. I sure do love you too mommies!! I wouldn't be the handsome, healthy little stinker I am without you two.

Goodbye big brother Misha

My big brother Misha had been sick for months. He stopped playing with me, then stopped grooming me and then he would no longer even cuddle with me and Molly. Eventually, he couldn't even hop up on the couch . Mum would put him on the blankets and we would all watch a show together. When mum would go to bed me and Molly went with her but Misha stayed on the couch until morning. Mum carried him around and fed him with a spoon and gave him pills but he got weaker and weaker. He had cancer. I never knew a day without Misha until now. I was just a few hours old when i moved into Misha and mum's house with my mommy Molly. Misha was nice to us and let us stay forever. Sure, he bossed me around the first year when I was a pesky whipper snapper but all in all he was a good big brother. I miss you Misha! Thanks for being my big brother and sharing your home with us.

My birthday!

Hi everyone,
Today is my birthday! I was born April first under a tree 8 years ago. It was so long ago I don't remember . Mom calls me her little April fools baby. That's cute right? I am a real prankster so she said it was kismet I was born today. Except for getting stuck in the closet, it's been a fun day so far. I wonder if we will get special treats .

the collar

Oh, some mean person invented something called a collar! I have one stuck around my neck and I can't get the darn thing off! I have been trying everything. Any advice cat friends? My mum said it's in case I sneak out and get lost. Since we live in a house now with lots of doors my mum is paranoid about us sneaking out. Now my mama Molly, she wants out bad -but me, you couldn't push me out there-it's scary!! Hey, I got my tag off again! I will just keep digging at this collar. M

The dog

Well, it seems some dogs can be tolerated. This dog Skeeter pretty much ignores us cats now. He still tries to sniff my butt sometimes which I really don't like. My mum was smart enough to put up a baby gate to the bedroom that only we cats can wiggle under. No dogs allowed in that room. HeHe! I can lay on the bed with the ceiling fan blowing my tummy fur with no doggie concerns. I think I will go do that now :)

I am now just catching my breath from all the changes in my life ! Not too long ago we MOVED. It was awful. After spending a few days under the bed,Misha convinced me to come out and have a look around. The place is pretty nice. We live in a house now,so we have more room. Two other people live here too which was hard for me to get used to. They try to be friends with me but I am really just a 1 person cat. I was doing ok until the dog moved in. Yes! a dog can you believe it? That big noisy thing came right at me. Oh did I get under the bed fast! No amount of sweet talk or treats were going to get me out. And you know who else was there? Misha and Molly. I wanted to ask Misha "what do ya think of the place now smarty?" but I was too scared to talk. More later. M
