Welcome to Rainbow Bridge Sweet Sylvester

Dear Diary,
It is a sad day at our house today. I just learned that out dear furiend Sylvester went to the Rainbow Bridge very early this morning after being bitten on the neck by a rattle snake.

Sylvester was one of the special kitties who lived at the Blind Cat Sanctuary in North Carolina.

He was a such a sweet soul. His meowmie suspects that he was curious to find out what the rattling sound was, and as he investigated, the snake bit him on the neck. His meowmie rushed him to the emergency vet, but because of the location of the bite, his outcome was not promising. He went into cardiac arrest from the snake bite.

Sysvester is a Catser cat. His Catster id is 990475. If you can, please visit his page and say goodbye to earth, and Welcome to Rainbow Bridge.

Love, Mouse

Finally...an Update!!

Dear Diary, and Catster Furiends,
My meowmie has not been able to write in my diary for a long time because on top on my tummy troubles, meowmie has had some difficuties of her own to deal with.

First, meowmie and I want to say a BIG "THANK YOU" to all of you who have sent purresents, purrayers and well wishes. I could feel all of the positive energy coming my way. So THANK YOU ALL so very much!!

Next, the update. My endoscopy was cancelled by the Vet. We're not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. The Vet had another probelm that day, and so my endoscopy was postponed until the next week. Well, that day came, and the decision was made to postpone again, but this time because I was making some progress.

I am still having B12 shots every week, but meowmie has changed my food once again and I am on a very high protein food, that along with the steriods (that are chicken flavored by the way....yum, yum) has nearly stopped the frequent (all day) diarrhea!! I seem to be feeling well, and am playing with my brofur and silly sisfurs. I only get a little grumpy when Sushi or Sophie try to crowd me out of my favorite "looking window".

Meowmie and the Vet are keeping a close eye on me. I have an appointment with the Vet this Friday morning, and I am hoping that the news will be good.......I don't think I am loosing any more weight, but I'm still not sure.

Thank you all for your continued love and support.
Love, Mouse

Mouse's Tummy Troubles

Dear Diary and Catster Furiends,
I know I haven't been writing much lately, but that's because I haven't been feeling furry well. My Meowmie and Daddy have been worriend about me and about a month ago, they took me to a new doctor who is very smart, and know a lot about kitty health problems like mine.
I've had lots of tests done, and I have something called vitamin B12 deficiency. That means I get shots of this red medicine once a week. I also found out that this B12 deficiency can be found in a number of kitty diseases, one is IBD (small intestinal problem) and another is lymphoma. They are treated differently, and so the nice vet decided to treat me for IBD first. I am still having B12 shots, but Meowmie also gives me two other types of medicine, and I am eating a furry special food called z/d to help my digestion.
I am sorry to purr that after all of that, I am still loosing weight and still have furry bad diarhea. Meowmie and Daddie are so worried, and so is the nice vet lady.
I overheard that on Thursday the vet lady is going to do something called an endoscopy. She's going to put a little camera down into my intestines to see what is going on in there. She's also going to take little pieces that someone will look at under a microscope to see if I have lymphoma or not.
Meowmie's eyes started leaking really bad when she heard that.....I feel bad for her....the nice vet said I wouldn't feel anything, that I would just go to sleep for a short few minutes while she looked around with her little camera and took her samples.
Well, I guess I'm asking all of you furs and your meowmies and daddies to purr really hard for me and for my Meowmie. I really don't want to have lymphoma...it doesn't sound good to me. I love my furamily, and I really don't want to leave them yet.
Meowmie will update everyfur on Thursday.....
Love,
Mouse
