The Life of A Pharoh!

No so good news from the Vet

Well yesterday I went to the vet for some senior bloodwork.(So not my idea) See I'm a really old guy, they think I'm probably 15 or so. And I'm really skinny and I don't gain weight despite eating like a small army. So today we got most of the results back and they are not good. I am in the begining stages of Kidney failure. I'm feeling ok, I'm perky and happy most of the time. I still give the peoples my royal decrees. You know "feed Me NOW" "scratch me here" "why is that annoying kid in my spot?" etc.. So overall things are still pretty good. I do now have special kidney wet food, but it's pretty good stuff. We are going to take things day to day. The peoples know my time is limited, just not how limited. So I'm going to enjoy myself. I even wore a t-shirt today. I usually am not into clothes but I figured why not? I asked them to put it on me and I liked it.(Zelda & Tater already had clothes on and I was checkin' their's out.) I am all nice and toasty. An old dude needs to be toasty. Thank you to folks who already sent prezzies and mails. I appreciate everything.

Hugs ,
Romeo

Wow a DDPagain

Wow I'm a DDP again! It is so nice to have my Royal status appreciated. Thank you to all of you who have sent rosies, pawmails, friend requests and well wishes for my recent accomplishments of COTD and THE DDP and now a ddp. I love you all and am very thankful for all my friends.

So far my day has been ok. I had Turkey and Giblets for breakfast with a small side dish of whitefish & tuna. NUM NUM! Then I went back to bed. Meowmy had a headache this morning so I napped with her. The weather today stinks. It is cool and gray and rainy. Yesterday was beautiful and sunny and it hit 80! We had the windows open and the porch to go onto. Grammy brought us some fresh nip inside and it was fab! Today, no windows, no porch and no nip. PFFFT! on the weather. I think I will just nap all day till dinner time.

Thanks again to ally friends for sharing my special acheivements with me.

Loves,

Romeo

WOW COTD!

Holy Cat!!
I'm the Cat of the day! This is really pawsome. i am so glad that my Royal status is finally being recognized. Thanks to all my friends for the prezzies, comments and pawmails.

My day started out slow. As is meowmy is so slow getting my breakfast, geesh. I should be first and the others should just wait. I did however agree with the selection. I had Tilapia appetizer with a salmon & beef friskies for the entree. It was NUMMY!!

After breakfast I assumed my customary spot on the top perch for my morning nap. Sometimes I watch the birdies and squirrels first but today it was raining hard so no pre-nap entertainments.

I am doing better than last I wrote. I am eating really well now. Sometimes I make meowmy feed me 4 times or more a day. My coat is really shiny again and I have a good bit of energy. My strength is coming back too. I am still really skinny. I am having trouble putting the weight back on despite all the food I'm gobbling down. I even crunch on the kibble some too. My mouth is feeling a whole lot better! Can't remeber if i told you all this , but my Vet thinks I am a lot older than Meowmy realized. My age was assumed to be correct from the shelter i came from but who knows. My vet thinks I may be as old as 15! That's twice as old as we thought I was. No wonder I am such a fuddy duddy sometimes. Those young ones can be so annoying.

Well I really need to nap now. Talk to you all later.

Loves,
