Well, I know who rates in our home. Ol' Hooch got to write about our trip to the doc doc's on the 16th of this month. I waited for my turn but meowmy did not find the time. So, she is letting me write about it now. Gee, thanks, I think. Did you know that Meowmy and I have been having twin eyes? Both of us have had very watery eyes. It is like a flood. In my case, it was found that there is fur missing beside my left eye and there is a "crack" in the skin and it is bleeding off and on. That was when my meowmy got really disturbed about my watering eyes. So, she decided to take me in the day Hooch went for his B12 shot. I decided to hide.
Meowmy had to move the sofa in the family room and fish me out from under it. In the beginning, my meowmy thought maybe I had caught something from her or vice versa because both having had runny eyes that started about the same time a month or so ago.
The substitute doc doc said it was totally unrelated. I had to have cells wiped from the area that was bleeding and the doc doc looked at the "stained" cells to see if she saw anything weird. She did not any "funky" cells as she called them and she put me on Clavamox and on Bac/Neo/Polymix Opth. Meowmy had to chase me down twice a day for the Clavamox and three times a day to put the ointment in my eye. I was to go back to the doc doc on Wednesday, the 21st, for a recheck. I weighed 9.7 pounds so my weight is staying basically the same.
Then, on the 21st, I had a recheck of my eyes. My meowmy had to capture me again... against my will, of course. She put me in the prison carrier and off we headed for my recheck. This time I got to see my doc doc. She said that while my eye was healing, it was still not completely healed and wanted to see me again in a week, which would be the 28th. My meowmy told her that was a no go because she has to have her eye fixed that day. They are doing a one snip procedure. We don't know what the proper name of the procedure is because all the doc doc she saw told her was that it would be done in the office. They will deaden it so she won't feel any pain but snip doesn't sound like fun to me or to Meowmy. So, they scheduled me for the 29th.
So, yesterday when Patchez went back to the doc doc to be rechecked, my meowmy told them about her eye procedure and told them that she might cancel mine if her eye was hurting, they said for her to just bring me in today with Patchez. Gee thanks! So, I was taking my refreshing after breakfast nap on top of the cat condo when my meowmy grabbed me and put me in the prison carrier. I did NOT like that one bit and tried to spread my legs to where my meowmy could not shove me inside. It was useless because she won that game.
The next thing I knew, here came Meowmy with Patchez in captivity, too. We headed out to see the doc doc. Patchez got lots more done to her. All I did was have my doc doc look at my eye and weigh me. I am up to 10 pounds and my eye looks almost well. My doc doc told my meowmy to keep putting the ointment on the outside for about a week and then about every three days from now on. She told Meowmy that my duct is not draining properly either. She also told Meowmy that my lower eyelid rolls slightly back and the hair may irritate my eyes. Do you think my meowmy gave me her illness?
My heart still goes out to the furmily of our beloved furiend Calvin. We will miss his beautifur orange face on earth but the Bridge gained another very special angel. You are well now, sweet Calvin.
Yesterday, we did not go back on Catster after learning the sad, sad news about Calvin. My sweet and handsome Rushy sent me some beautifur roses. He said, "My Dear Sweet Cassidy, I am so sorry we haven't been around lately.Mom was overwhelmed by all our furriends crossing the Bridge.We had to take a break. I do love you! Yours furever~Rushy" Rushy, I think so many of us have had such heavy hearts in the loss of so many dear furiends this year. We are not as attentive as we should be either. Our hearts are heavy with saddness from all the losses.

Sarge, Lena and Pepi sent me a furever star. They said, "We think you're an awesome kitty and your family is special to recognize you as one. We're sorry for your early life and happy that you've found a great home."
We lost a dear friend named Calvin today. Our hearts are breaking right now. We know that Calvin is watching over all of his family and furiends now from the Bridge. Calvin touched so many hearts with his love and humor. We will miss you Calvin and will look to the heavens now for your beautifur orange face and wisdom. You took a piece of our hearts with you, dear furiend. We will forever love you. We send our love and pray for the comfort of your family in this time of such loss.
