RECOOOPERATING

Wow - it's been almost a MONTH since my operashun -- it was NOT fun.... I couldn't go home right away - They had to keep me in an INKYBATOR at the hospital for a day cuz I was sooo cold. Then Meowmie took me home in a warm warm carrier and put me in a BIG doggy playpen in the middle of her bedroom (It took up so much room that she had to roll over her bed to get to the other side of the room - it was so funny -- but I couldn't laugh or it would hurt. They had to take out a little piece of my muscle to get to the tumor....)

The playpen was big and warm and comfy and the first day home I tried to walk and kept falling over (there were lotsa towels and rugs in there so I was ok when I fell). Then I would eat and walk to my bed and THROW my self into my bed cuz I was so weak. I had a big covered bed and lots of blankies. I also had to wear a cute T shirt (I looked like a punk kitty!) to cover my shaved body and also to cover the surgical staples (about 14 of them!).

Cee Cee came in once and looked through the bars at me. She was very gentle. Then Big Bad Baby walked in and looked at me and hisssed at me-- then she stuck her paws through the bars and tried to get my foodies!!! Meowmie escorted her outta MY room.

After 2 weeks my staples finally came out-- then after 2 more days Meowmie finally took that big big playpen apart so I could run around in her bedroom. I was sooo happy to sleep with Meowmie again!! The first night, I just stood on her pillow and kept looking at her and looking at her and giving her lots and lots of smoochies.

Now we sleep together and since I still need my warm places, I get LOTS Of gentle cuddles. I hafta stay in this room until my fur and my strength grow back, but once in a while Meowmie puts the other kitties in other rooms and she carries me out to the livingroom so I can sit in my favorite patch of sunlight!!

Purrs to you.
