My Neutering Surgery Went Well!

Good news... my breeder just called meowmy moments ago to inform her that I am now home and everything went purrry well. Now here's the exciting news about how much I weigh! Are you ready? Holy Cannoli, I weighed in at 4.2 pounds and that includes not eating fur 12 hours straight before surgery. That's more than any of my future siblings weighed when they were 12 weeks of age. All I can meow is "move over Snowmitts because here I come" *giggles* I'm now eating and will be sure to get a good nights rest. Unfortunately, my little dingle berry area is a bit sore from the surgery but before you know it, I'll be back to being ME!

Thank you to the following kitties fur their thoughtful rosettes: PorkChop (heart), Patchez & fam (paw power), Morgan the Pirategato (pirate flag), Isis & fam paw power) and Harley & Chloe (blue ribbon). Also, thanks Morgan fur also thinking of my meowmy while she's trying to recover from a severe Sinus Infection.

Can you believe that in less than two days, I'll be home with my furever family *does happy dance*

I'm Getting Neutered Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is going to be a big day fur me because I'm going to have surgery. yup, I am getting neutered and will be home later in the afternoon, early evening. Mom does worry a little when any of her babies have to go through surgery but we all know it's snip snip and then I'm all finished. My other siblings will also be having surgery (both neuteted and spayed).

Mom went to the doctors this morning fur her sinus infection and she has it really badly this time. She even has a small fever 99.9 degrees. Her blood pressure was 120/60 which is actually high fur her as it's usually 110/60 but the doctor said her blood pressure was purrry good. She is now taking BIG antibiotics 825 milligrams 2x day along with a decongestant fur 10 days. She will be getting lots of rest fur the next 24 hours which she needs and should be feeling better soon.

That wasn't all... meowmy also got my covered Tidy Cats litter box, a nice large Petmate litter catcher fur under the box, cases of Max kitten canned food, more Purina Complete dry, fun Play-n-Squeak toys (Fred Lobster & Earl the Turtle). They're really neat with a microchip technology and make squeak noises when they're batted around *giggles* Mom even got several more fur future pressies. She likes to think ahead so every time she does go to the pet store, she'll pick up extra toys and put those away fur future occasions. We also have my sister, Karisma's giftie bag all ready fur when she comes back to my home. As you may have heard, mom's furiend is also getting a Ragdoll who is my sister Karisma. Karisma's mom is a Catster mom but we can't tell you just who it is yet until Karisma's page is set up which should be Wednesday evening? They will be traveling many hours before getting to my home on Wednesday evening. Mom is so excited and can't wait to meet them! Shhhhhhh... it's a secret!

Well, time to try and get some rest now. unfortunately, I won't be eating after 8:00 pm because of surgery tomorrow but I guarantee that I'll be starving as soon as I get home. Please keep your paws crossed that everything will go well with my 6 siblings and me fur tomorrow's surgery. I will update you as soon as everything is finished and I'm back home at the breeders. In just 2-1/2 days, my sister, Karisma and I will be home with our new families.

Going Home In Just FIVE More Days!

Today was dreary miserable in New Jersey. Not too long ago, meowmy was chatting with auntie Jo Ann (Patchez mom) when a storm was brewing. Moments after hanging up, it began to down pour like cats and dogs with lots of thunder and lightening. I has stopped raining fur the time being but is still drizzling with gray clouds.

Mom had to work this morning and unfortunately, she has a sinus infection so is planning on seeing the doctor tomorrow and hopefully get some kind of antibiotic or nasal spray. She has had a sinus headache on the left side of her head all day going through her passages. Purrrry painful from what I hear. I know nothing about the sinus but it surely doesn't sound too fun???

In just 5 day, I'll be going home to my furever family and wow, do I have a lot of siblings to look forward to. I have been warned that Jaspurr does tend to get a "Jaspurr-tude" but it will only last fur a few days. He will not attack me but instead, hisss and make funny noises. As fur the others, I bet that they will welcome me with open paws but mom is a bit curious as to how Biscotti will react since Mittens & Tiskers doesn't like PorkChop at all! It's never a plate of Cannoli's when a new member is introduced to the family but it will get easier with each passing day. I've also heard wonderful things about how Snowmitts & Picasso accepts new babies immediately as though the little whipper snappers are theirs. Who knows, Maybe all seven siblings will give me a big acceptance hug *crosses paws* Well, we're surely not counting on Kashmere since most likely, she'll be hiding under the nightstand *giggles*

I have made so many new and wonderful furiends here on Catster as well as receiving lots beautiful p-mails, giftes & rosettes. More were delivered within the past few days, so I'd like to thank the following kitties fur their thoughtfulness: Princess & Fam (balloons), Sausage & Meatball (diamond), Finney (star) and Simba & fam (diamond).

I'll Be Coming Home In Exactly ONE Week!

In just one week from today, I'll be living with my beautiful new family in New Jersey *chases tail* I was told that mom was purrry busy this morning cleaning and sanitizing kitty boxes. Actually, she's going out this weekend to get another box since she's getting a new little addition. Hummm... could that little addition me moi?

They're calling fur bad weather with high winds and heavy down pours tonight, tomorrow so mom has decided not to drive the long distance to the breeders fur picture taking as she feels uncomfortable. She wanted so badly to meet me but the weather will not be permitting, not to mention that mom is terrible with driving directions to begin with, even with a GPS *giggles* She didn't want to take the chance getting lost in extreme weather conditions. Unfortunately, auntie Sam and unkie Dan have made a change of plans and decided to go straight to the breeders from their house to pick up PorkChop tomorrow and will not be stopping by to visit with Picasso & family. Meowmy had hoped that they'd stop by on the way as planned since she would have enjoyed seeing them again but things do come up with humans. Maybe we'll get to see them over the Holiday Season and our door is always open, which I'm sure they know... Mom has explained to auntie Sam that shell be mailing out the gifties fur her (auntie) and PorkChop since we won't be seeing them this time around. By the way, Porkchop (my half brother) gets neutered today and as fur my sister Karisma and me... we'll be having our surgery on Tuesday. Before you know it, you'll find out who Karisma is and the wonderful family who will be adopting her. Can't tell you until she shares the news first which should be right before she comes home. If not before, it will be that day that she arrives back home. The new pawrents of Karisma will be staying at our home on Wednesday and pawsibly even Thursday and they're so sweet *does happy dance* Mom is looking forward to meeting this family and having them stay with her as well as my little sister, Karisma. I will tell you that they have quite a longgggggggg drive ahead of them.

Sending a warm thanks to the following kitties who sent me lovey gifties & rosettes, today: Harry & fam (rainbow star), Finney & fam (star), Alfie & fam (cupcake), Sampson Silver Dollar & fam (heart), Eve & fam (heart), Sammie & KiKi (rose), Rusty & family (febreez collar). I would also like to meow thanks to all of those sweet kitties who sent gifties & rosettes to me on my siblings pages as well... I received lots of wonderful catgrats and I'm so grateful to have pawsome furiends like you!

My Tail of Devotion for Cannoli

"CANNOLI'S PURRAYER"

Although I am too proud to beg and may appear to be a very independent creature, I ask for your loving care and attention. I rely on you for my well
being much more than you may realize.

This I promise you, my benefactor, that I will not be a burden on you nor will I demand more of you than you care to give. I will be a quiet peaceful island of serenity for you to gaze upon, a soft soothing body to caress, and I shall purr with pleasure to rest your weary ears. Since I am a gourmet who appreciates different taste sensations, I pray you will give me a variety of nutritious foods and fresh water daily.

You know, dear friend, how I love to go. Allow me, I pray, a warm sheltered place where I can rest peacefully and feel secure. If I am wounded in battle or suffering from disease, please tend me gently, and see that I am treated by loving and competent hands. Please protect me from the inhuman humans who would hurt and torture me for their own amusement. I am accustomed to your gentle touch and am not always suspicious nor swift enough to avoid such malicious acts.

In my later years when my senses fail me and my infirmities become too great to bear, allow me the comfort and dignity that I desire for my closing days and help me gently in my pain or passing. Hear this prayer, my dear friend, my fate depends on you.

~This Is Our Devoted Promise To Cannoli~

Her name is Karisma and she's a really purrty Blue Bicolor. Mom thinks it's so cool that Karisma and I are fully related and it even makes it more exciting and special.
