Fur Fun With Fred

Sweet Giselle

Our little foster kitten Giselle left for the Rainbow Bridge today. Meowmi's lying in bed now, wondering if there's something else she could have done to save Giselle.

She was only about 6 months old, and we have had her since the beginning of June. She always seemed a bit sickly and small for her age. But last week she was suddenly unable to use her front legs. She was at the emergency vet for a couple of days, then at her regular vet daily through Thursday. X-rays didn't show anything, and blood tests were negative. . . The docs put her on antibiotics & steroids, and she was looking better by Thursday. . . but she started going downhill over the weekend. Meowmi took her back in this morning, and the doc agreed she looked much worse. She ran a blood test, and the liver value was "off the charts" - the doc said she had never seen that value so high in any cat. After much discussion of options, Meowmi and Doctor agreed the prognosis wasn't good, so to avoid more pain for Giselle, Meowmi decided to have her assisted on her journey to the Rainbow Bridge.

RIP sweet Giselle (4/15/09 - 10/19/09)

Happy Birthday to Me!!

MOL! Meowmi forgot to make a birthday photo for me to use today, so I'm recycling one from last year! Can't believe it's been a whole year since I turned 8!

It's been a wild and zany year with all the foster kittens coming and going -- I'm surprised I haven't turned grey from all the excitement!

But I have my beloved fiancee Cookie to keep me sane. . . purrrrrrrrr. . . can't wait 'til the day we slip off & tie the knot!

Thanks to Catster HQ for the Birthday zealies!

Proposed Vet Services Tax in California

Meowmi wants me & Bondi to campaign against the proposed extension of the California sales tax to veterinary services. . .

I agree with Bondi - we think vets should be just as expensive as possible so Meowmi won't take us! hehehe!

But here're the instructions for calling the Governator for those cheapskate who don't want to pay a little extra to bail out the mess those politicians got us into. . . purrsonally I'm glad I'm a cat & don't have to worry about paying taxes.



* Call the Governor’s office at 916-445-2841.
* Select your language choice.
* Press “5″ to leave your opinion on a current issue.
* Press “1″ to select the issue of extending the sales tax to veterinary services.
* Press “2″ to “oppose” the Veterinary Services Tax proposal.
