Arrival Story:
It took me two years to be ready for another cat after Misha died. I found Colette's picture (then named Samantha) here on Catster. She was described as a sweet chatterbox and looked like she had lots of personality. She was living at the Bideawee shelter in Manhattan, an easy commute from where I live.
The folks at Bideawee brought her out to meet me and she immediately began wrapping herself around my legs. I picked her up and started putting her through my mush-cat test. (Any cat that puts up with me better not mind my playing with her ears, paws and tail, and putting my face in her belly). She purred through it all. She was mine!
Bio:
In the 2+ years since I adopted her, Colette has been eating prescription and limited ingredient food. She has lymphocytic colitis/plasmatic enteritis--inflammation in both her colon and her intestines.
Colette was diagnosed with and received iodine radiation treatment for feline hyperthyroid condition in July 2010. Over time she has turned into a sweet, loving, self-confident kitty with a lovely personality!------Update: Colette was diagnosed with onset renal failure and onset asthma December 6, 2011 and with feline mammary adenocarcinoma (breast cancer) December 20, 2011. I found the mass while grooming her. She is now undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Please have your pets spayed as early as possible to decrease the possibility of this happening to them.

The Last Forum I Posted In:
I admit it! I'm a Catster addict! I'm having withdrawals!
Making Opinions Known:
Among Colette's many talents, is her ability to secret herself between the shower curtain and shower curtain liner in order to express her displeasure at my working out a new song while I'm taking a shower. And there she stays, repeatedly meowing off-key--completely unperturbed by random splashes coming her way--until I stop singing. Ah well, I should have guessed when I got her that I was introducing a 4th singer into the household!

Thank catness! I began eating a bit last night and Mom left kibble out for me and Samsara and it was gone this morning. I even came to the bathroom to ask Mom to put out food this morning and I ate most of it.
In the meantime, Mom decided to give me my IBD meds. I usually get kibble after those too, but I didn’t want to eat it. Mom decided she would give me another dose of Cerenia, as my ‘insurance policy’. I’m still not quite back to my ‘old self’, but I’m getting there.
We’ll keep effurybody posted.
Headbonks (and yes, I’ve been giving out lots of those today)…

Thursday night I started not feeling well so I didn’t eat much.
Yesterday morning I was so nauseous I couldn’t believe it. I wanted to eat, but I just couldn’t. Mom gave me my (IBD) meds anyway, and I was almost crying. By noon she was on the phone with Dr. L. since I had just thrown up all the water I had. Dr. L. says I’m ahead of schedule for the nausea. Oh great!
He gave me a prescription for Cerenia. That helped. I ate a little bit of kibble yesterday, but not much. I still couldn’t eat today. I felt bad because I could see how nervous I was making Mom, but I just couldn’t. I’ve been giving her lots of headbonks and I’ve been cuddling with her. Does that help?
Mom called the clinic today and she went over to pick up the Mirtazapine that Dr. L. prescribed (appetite stimulant) around 6:00 this evening. They say it takes about 12 hours to kick in. In the meantime, Mom ground up some of my wet food and she gave it to me in a syringe. That was okay. I even started to lap a bit from the cup she had it in.
She just put the food out again a few minutes ago and I took a bit by myself. Gee, I hope I feel better by tomorrow.

Mom got back from the gig not too long ago. What a great show!
It was in a small place called Ella’s on the Lower East Side. You should have seen how many patients went! Everybody kept saying what a good doctor he is.
Mom had a really nice time. He really does have that beautiful voice you heard on his web site! She especially enjoyed the songs dedicated to Dr. L’s cat, Stitch, and his dog, Poochi (we’re not sure how to spell that) who is a cancer survivor!

In the meantime, Mom practiced too much this afternoon. She says she has to watch it—she feels like she strained her voice.
We’re also still purraying up a storm for Blizzard. Blizz, we love you. Get well soon.
Blizzard
Headbonks…
