Likes: Food/eating, playing with her string, Beyonce, and she has a crush on Michael Phelps Pet-Peeves: Her dad, her missing leg, not being able to go outside anymore, not being fed canned food anymore (she gets too fat), when people touch her feet (which is hard not to do, she has REALLY long tufts!) Favorite Toy: Her old gray string that used to be white (OR ANY STRING, ACTUALLY!), her little green mouse (her "baby"),her leapord print catnip mouse, her "fishing pole" toy Favorite Nap Spot: Under the papason chair, she thinks its her little cubby..., any "pallet" bed we make her...and only if we give her her "baby"!! Favorite Food: Tunies, any canned food or pouch of food, vanilla yogurt, beef jerkey, shrimp, beef..she'll pretty much eat anything though, she once ate a piece of the insides of a pumpkin when we were carving a jack-o-lantern! Skills: She can do a great impression of a tripod! OH! And she's ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! Dwells:
indoors Arrival Story: It was a cold, rainy Mother's Day in '95, it was pouring down rain, and there was this cat that was always around (we called "Mama Kitty") and her litter of kitties were all outside on the back porch. I went outside to try to catch one of the kitties, and they all ran--except for one kitty...She stayed under the railing to stay dry and I scooped her up and took her inside. She looked like a little wet peanut. I knew she was a keeper when not two hours after being in the house she used the litter box. She just kept getting cuter and cuter, and only started to become a "fat cat" after we got her fixed. But we decided that her fattness multiplies her cuteness (even though we do have her eat diet kitty crunchies and they seem to do no good!) Bio: Peanie was one of the cutest, sweetest, best kitties in the whole world (tied with my first kitty, Poochie, who died in 2000 at the age of 21). In the summer of 2004, Peaniw had a pretty big tumor on her back left leg. Eventually, the leg had to be amputated, and Peanie quickly became the cutest 3-legged cat to ever live! As soon as she got home from the vet after the amputation, she was back to her usual happy self. The only thing that I think bothered her was that she couldn't go outside anymore, but she eventually got used to that, and enjoyed spending time on the back porch, watching the birds! A year has passed since Peanie became a 3-legger, and it was a very happy year for both Peans and myself. Unfortunately, suddenly one day this summer ('05), Peanz started acting sick again. We took her to her vavorite vet, and recieved some sad news. Peanie had several health problems, including an "unusual" kidney, a heart murmur, and something was compressing her right lung. The vet wanted Peanut to stay with them for a few days, to give her some fluids and medicine. We were hoping for the best, but Peanie I guess was just ready to move on, and didn't make it through the night. I'm writing this on the day I found out that Peanie has passed, so I'm sorry if this sounds a little sad! At the same time, I have to do what's best, and look at this from a happy aspect, right? I am certain that my Peanie is in heaven now, and I've asked my little Poochie, who's been there for 5 years now, to "show Peanut the (golden) ropes". I'm sure both kitties are happy to finally meet each other, especially Peanut, who has heard a whole lot about Poochie, and I'd like to think (in my kitty fantasy world) has looked up to Poochie. And now, a little more about Peanut:
Peanut was, in my eyes and for most who met her, the best all around kitty ever. First the obvious, she was a beautiful cat. Everytime we ever took her to the vet, everyone who saw her had to stop to tell us what a beautiful cat she was. Second, Peanie was a very good companion. Cats are very independent creatures, and usually enjoy spending most of their time alone, doing what they want. Peanie, on the other hand, loved spending time with people. Wherever we were, Peanie was sure to be sleeping somewhere near...unless of course she was eating, which was quite often. Peanie had a way with people. Even the people who "hate cats" and/or are allergic, loved her. I can't tell you how many of these people would say "I usually hate cats, but I like Peanut", and I couldn't help but be proud of that! We will all miss Peanut very much. I am glad that there are websites like this one to keep my Peanie's memory alive! WE LOVE YOU PEANUT!! : ) The Groups I'm In: ^^^^^ Cafe Turkey ^^^^^ I've Been On Catster Since:
Hi, I'm Peanut's mom, Peanut has asked me to write an entry in her diary today, since she's feeling under the weather, and is at the doctor's right now. Peanut hasn't been feeling very well for the past few days, and we werent really sure why at first. Peanut really loves to eat, (even though she only gets fed 2 cups a day of "diet" cat food...she's a bit overweight!) so when she stopped eating, we KNEW something was wrong. Peanie began acting very lethargic, much more than her usual lazy self, and STOPPED EATING. We first tried the obvious...we gave her tunies. She smelled it, licked it once or twice, but didn't take a bite. Then we DEFINITELY knew something was wrong. I know it's weird for any cat to not want to eat, but for Peanie? I knew in my heart that something was wrong.
Unfortunately this all had to happen on Labor Day weekend, so I had to just sit and wait to make an appointment at her vet. For the whole entire weekend Peanie wouldn't eat. Luckily, we found something at the grocery store called Cat Milk (made by Friskies, I think), that is basically a dietary supplement. We also bought a medicine dropper, and fed her this milk all weekend. It is very sad to see your cat not want to eat, let me tell you.
Well, we finally made it to the veterinarian today, and got some pretty bad news. Peanie has a few more health problems (she had cancer, a tumor, on her back leg last summer, and her leg was amputated). Peanie now has a heart murmur, an "unusual" kidney (the vet wasn't sure why, blood tests and x-rays couldn't tell for sure), and "something that is compressing her right lung" : ( . Right now Peanie is staying at the vet, we were told for a 1-3 days. They are putting her on an IV and medications, which will probably make her feel a little better, we just have to wait and see. I'm basically just venting about my poor kitty right now, so if anyone is reading this, thankyou for doing so! All i can do is wait now! Isn't it funny how as soon as a pet is sick it seems like a family member is sick? And you're not quite sure if you should be "mature" and treat it like a "family member/but just a pet and there will be more" or like a true family member...
Whatever happens, atleast i got to know Peanut, right? I just wish I hadn't of met her so late in her life! Atleast I know that if P-nut doesn't make it then she will have Poochie to show her the ropes up there and take care of her (Poochie was my first cat that my family got when I was very young, she lived up until my freshman year in college....SHE WAS 21 YEARS OLD : ) !!).
Okay, all for now from Peans and mom...keep my kitty in your prayers!!
