Coloration: Brown Tabby
Likes: Catching water drops from the faucet. Flirting with his eyes. Playing "Pour Harry", a game he invented where he "falls" off or pours himself into your arms from the counter top!
Pet-Peeves: none, just a happy camper
Favorite Toy: yellow rubber wacky ball, his new Panic Mouse, which I can barely keep in batteries!
Favorite Nap Spot: Kitchen bar sink, cat "bins" under the desk, cat perch
Favorite Food: Purina Pro Plan Indoor Cat, he doesn't really like can food, or people food
Skills: He has a meow that sounds like a viking horn! When you scratch or rub his back, he curls his tail into a question mark everytime! He also gives great back massages!
Dwells:
indoors
Arrival Story: Harry was brought in as a newborn (along with his litter mates) to our vets office in a plastic baggie to be put to sleep. His kennel attendant and her mom bottle fed him until we saw him a few weeks later. Harry and I met eyes and it was love at first sight. I thought about him all weekend. Having already a multicat household I had to do some heavy arm twisting to convince my husband, but we have never regretted it. He's a doll.
Bio: Harry's favorite thing is what I call "catching raindrops". He lays on the bar sink edge, just waiting for the slow drip from the faucet that we turn on for his entertainment (and ours!). He attempts to snatch the falling droplet, but rarely catchs one, and he just ends up with a wet head, which he doesn't seen to mind! Harry loves to lay on Dad's chest while he watches TV, or Mom's chest when she's trying to sleep. He has mastered the art of a complete back massage, and will work backward down my back until he is on one leg, balancing carefully! This can take 20 minutes because he goes slowly and diligently! It feels wonderful! LOL! Harry is one of the most easy going cats, just a sweet, loving boy, who has won my heart, many times over.

Forums Motto: Head Bonks for Everyone!
Birthday : April 17th, 2002
The special lady in my life, Daisy Isn't she lovely? I asked her to be my girl, and she said YES!!!
Headbonks hello, my friends.
No more tummy upset incidents today. I'm still not very hungry, I picked at breakfast, but I'm acting like I feel a little better.
Mom says she sometimes forgets that living with cats is like living with toddlers. We can get into anything, and you always have to try to be one step ahead of everything. Still not 100% sure what caused my problem last night, but the soapy water seems to be a good candidate. Especially after many of my friends think so too.
You might have noticed, I changed the title to my diary. When mom started it, Zack was very ill. It was just a couple days before he left for the Bridge. Mom promised to name it something different when she got time. So that promise is now honored. I hope that you will continue to "hear it from harry" for a long time.
Tonight was not a good night for me.
I spewed all over the place like I've never done before...twice even.
It frightened mom because it was almost all water, voluminous amounts of it. She has never seen that much liquid come out all at once. Needless to say, I didn't want any supper either.
Daddy gave me extra fluids, and maybe I will feel better in the morning.
Mom thinks it's possible I might have drunk some soapy water from two litter pans she had soaking. Do you think that would make that happen? Mom says she is pretty sure it would make my bowels go south, and they are fine.
So hopefully there is nothing else wrong. I was just starting to feel a little better too.
CRF is no fun at all. What I wouldn't give to be healthy again.
Well hello!
What do you think of my newest picture?
Mom thinks my face looks less thin, and my eyes look less tired. (from the photo below)
I have actually lost a little weight, I now weigh 8.3 pounds, but it's been an awfully hot summer, in the 90's just yesterday, and most of us have lost weight.
I was at the vet's yesterday, having my numbers rechecked. They stayed the same, so I am getting my fluids twice a day now, for two weeks, then I go back to the vet again.
There was a new assistant. She said I had pretty eyes, and that I was really good about having my blood drawn. She didn't know I'm a pro at it by now. :)
The vet wants me to eat the special diet food again, but I hate it. She told mom to withhold my supper, give me an appetite stimulant, then offer only the special food in the morning.
Mom tried, but I meowed her to death, so she gave in and gave me my Friskie's Prime Fillet.
We are going to see if maybe there is yet another food I might eat, that is better for me.
Also, I wanted to thank you for your prayers and purrs for Stinky. He seems to have turned the corner, and is starting to feel better. We are all furry happy here.
We need some cooler weather around here, so if any of you Northern cats want to send some cool air our way, I'll send you some warm Gulf breezes! But there might be a mosquito or two in them, so have your swatters ready!
