Notes From My Box

I'm deliriously happy!!!!

Dear Catsters,

I -- yes, this fat cat -- I have been tagged for Valentine's Day by none other than the inimitable Taffy, the most beautiful kitty on this planet. I mean, just look at her picture to see how she radiates sunshine!!

Now, I know she tagged several furs, but the fact that I am one of them, well, I'm at a loss for words. I have to tag some furs but first I have to wallow in happiness. I am going to lie in my dogbed and purr my heart out for awhile...

More soon...

Hugs to everyone!!

An update: spared for now

Hi efurryone,
For those of you who were curious about the results of my follow-up pictures of my innards, after I was supposed to have dental surgery two weeks ago but the pictures showed some grey area inside that wasn't supposed to be there -- the new picture showed exactly the same thing and the vets just don't know what it is but don't think it's anything nasty. They think maybe it's just fat. Can you imagine that? ME??? hahahahaha Mom actually wonders if the extra fat or whatever is contributing to my shoulders and rib cage expanding. The vet said it was possible. (On the other hand, that could be an optical illusion because I've redeveloped a bit of a trim waistline. BUT, MOL, that too could be an illusion since gravity seems to have dragged what was at my waist around my body to under it!).

The good news is that they didn't feel the need to do any further $$$ scans nor biopsies. So for those of you purring for me, thank you!!!

The bad news is that the dental work is again to be scheduled. I'll be out for that and it will involve losing more toofies. Oh well, my yummy treats with glucosamine and chondroitin are small and soft anyway so I won't have to stop getting those.

I'll probably post when the toofies stuff is scheduled.

Thanks for the purrs, my dear furiends!! I luvs ya!!

Headbonks,
Jakester

WOW! again!! I'm a DDP!!

My gosh my gosh,
This quiet fat cat is one of the DDPs today! I can't believe it. And I am so overwhelmed to be sharing the honors with some really special furs (not in any order):

The beautiful Taffy for whom I purr on a daily basis (she makes my tail swish).

The adorable newly adopted/rescued Milo -- have you met Milo yet? He's joined Sir Alfie Kneads-a-Lot, Teddy Bearz, Angel Syndey Rose and Angel Wally up there in Montreal.

Spitfire - a funny and talented kitty apparently with only one thing on his mind (it's obvious when you see his page) hehehe.

Mazey who was missing is now found, and who, interestingly, is engaged to a dog!!

While I'm naming names, I want to send some special thank yous to those of you who have left me some pop and some love and purrs:

Calvin who is fighting the good fight against that stomach cancer

Mr. Sam at the Bridge, ever vigilant in his purring for other furs

Flower who delights my mother to no end because she looks exactly like a tortie Mom grew up with (Alice), especially with that orange nose just like Alice (and Piewacket)!!

The furmily of Tony, Anna, Greystone, Sam, Stormy, Cleo and Ashe whose Halloween pictures are pawsome!

The furmily of Leo, Lady, Pixiebelle, Cow!Cat, Angel Cristabel, Angel Remy, Angel Annabel Lee, Dougal MacDuff, Fizzgig, FluffyPretty, Skeeter, and Taffy (swish swish)

The furmily of Goldie, Frankie, Grace, Mis-Tac, Elvis, Brownie Maeve, Ginger and Louise

Jaffa who reminds us that Hooch needs purrs

Buddy, angel watching over so many furs

The furmily of Sir Alfie Kneads-a-Lot, Teddy Bearz, Angel Syndey Rose, Angel Wally, and little Milo

I also want to thank the omnipresent Hazel Lucy for her care and concern, and for adding me to her Get Well Purr List.

And for all of those purring, I feel it and I thank you.

I thought I would mention also that yesterday the vets called to see how I was doing. Mom asked them about my eyes being dilated the night before and my being wigged out. Apparently they gave me a shot that is a precurser to the anesthesia and that can have the effects Mom noticed. We had noisy work being done here yesterday and I really wanted to sleep but couldn't. I slept pretty well last night though.

Headbonks to all!!
Your furiend,
Jakester
