Strollin'

First stroll of the year and I was the first to enjoy it! The others just slept. Big babies :)

I had so much fun! Towards the end though I was sorta getting impatient. Mom kept saying, "Tiski, we're almost home". When I got home she gave me some treats!

Today was a fun day! Oh and I got some of mom's meatloaf for dinner :)

Dog germs!

Ewww, ewww, make them stop!!

Today Ethan has been extra affectionate and won't leave me alone! So much that he is licking me all over my face!

Shhhh, I admit... I sorta like it... I think... I don't know...

Mom caught me closing my eyes and I usually do this when she rubs my white chin.

Don't tell anyone!!

DDP again!

My DDP entry enabled me to be today's DDP!! Neato!

Dang right I'll get extra lovies! I got my portion of Hill's C/D moist and that was delish! I can't remember if we mentioned this but we're all back on Blue Buffalo dry as it was giving Boogie soft stinkies. We're still on Hill's moist though.

I know it's not as effective but you gotta do what you gotta do!

The weather was 76 two days ago, then yesterday it rained all afternoon and now the heat is back on. Crazy weather!

DDP!

Meow! First DDP of 2013! Thanks for the pawmails and gifts :)

Mom ordered pizza for dinner as she can eat this for 4 days! She bought a Hawaiian pizza for grandpaw and she got the Philly cheesesteak one without onions.

Naturally I got some :) It was yummers!

The weather today was nice and mom played with the stinky dog outside. I don't get why the dog likes to go outside! I don't mind strolling but I would hate to use the box outside.

Fluffy stuff

So we got about 1/2 an inch of snow last night. It was the nice fluffy stuff, not the heavy wet stuff.

Mom opened the door today and I watched the white stuff glisten in the lack of sunlight today. I love the storm door!

Later mom tried to cut my nails but I was being a brat. She later brushed us all. I'm just glad she brushed ME before using the same brush on the dog! Ewwwwwwwww Nah, he's a cool dog but he's hyper compared to us cats.

He's not a hyper dog, but he just wants attention all the time, or mom will get up and he's right at her heels! A cat would NEVER do that.

Pigeon

I'm becoming more vocal lately. And not only that I'm starting to make "cooing" noises, or as mom says, I sound like a Pigeon!

Could be worse I suppose! I could sound like a dog. Or ever worse? BE a dog!

Done with medicine!

So I finished my last Zenequin tablet tonight. Last night mom saw me make a good pee spot in the box so she hopes that's good news about my UTI. When mom returned from visiting her friend, she called the vet since I did NOT go to my recheck last week.

I threw a temper tantrum and couldn't go. I'm getting worse with going to t he vet and mom is sad about that.

So she called the vet and they gave her plastic non absorbing litter. Of course it's a TINY TINY amount. Mom needs to get a sample to recheck to make sure my UTI is gone.

Also we're off the Hills C/D dry and now on RC S/O dry since it was giving us loose stinkies after a week. Just not firm if you will. Problem is we are out of dry so mom couldn't mix it in with our Blue Buffalo indoors. Here's hoping the S/O is easier on our bellies and still prevents UTI's.

Update

Thank you again for the purrrs.

Last night mom saw me do a nice hard stinky, so she's glad that is working, and she also saw me last night do a sizable pee in the box. I did go back into the box again, but mom says it seems I'm going to the box less. Hopefully that means the urgency which is due to an UTI is diminishing.

I'm getting moist 2x a day instead of my usual 1x a day, and a can of Hills C/D lasts 3 meals. Mom tries not to let the others eat it but of course of all cats, Boogie really wants my moist. Piggie :)

UTI :(

So mom is going to pick me up at the vet in a few. And FYI yes, I do have my own pawsonal iPad and I am telling the tech what to meow. J/K

So I went into the vet today and they again couldn't get a urine sample. I can't have a lot of fluids with HCM so they only administered 100 ml (or cc?) instead of the usual 200-250. Since my bladder is small they can't use the typical needle to get my urine. So I was left at the vet from 10:30 till now, 2pm EST. They got my urine!

So there's white cells, blood in my urine, aka bacteria, so it's an UTI and not sterile cystitis. I now have a script for Hills c/d moist to help my issues. Never had an UTI before. Can those just come out of no where?

Thank you for the purrs. I will be increasing my meds to 2x a day Zeniquin and Buprenex for the pain. Again they would have prescribed a different med but can't mix it with Lasix and Analapril :( Both my vet and the Emergency vet said.

Emergency Vet

Of all days, I had to pick today to go to the Emergency Vet. VA is getting the icy/sleet/snow storm that OK and TX got hit with.

Grandpaw drove as he has 4 wheel drive. So mom noticed I was going upstairs more to use the box. She went to scoop and I showed her that I didn't feel well. I used the box while she scooped the other and a tiny TINY dime size of pee came out. 10 minutes later the same thing happened. Mom called the Vet but they were closing in 30 min due to the storm.

So off to the Emergency Vet I went! They did:

Idexx Catalyst 10 Chem/Mini Chem. My kid-knee are good which is important as I have HCM and the meds can ruin my kid-knee.

The meds are: Zenequin 25mg, and Buprenex .3 oral liquid. I need to make a followup with my regular vet as I have a tiny bladder and they couldn't get a sample. So it's either an UTI or Sterile Cystitis. Purrrs would be appreciated. I'm just glad I don't have Crystals or Blockage! The vet was happy mom acted quickly!
