Icy has always been such a good friend to me and gave me the nickname "Biker Dude Milo" after seeing a picture of me next to a motorcycle. When I went to the Bridge, her Momma made my Mom a beautiful little basket with a candle and a stuffed white kitty in it. Icy's Momma loves all her babies, but Icy was her baby girl. She'll be updating her diary soon, but in the meantime, we were given permission to share the email that her Momma sent to a few friends the day she passed: Subject: We lost Icy! My poor, poor Icy baby. I found Icy on her cushion tonight. She curls up in the late afternoon and sleeps for hours. I went to wake her up for her nightly ground beef feeding to get weight on her, but she isn't going to wake up. She left us several hours ago and I wasn't there to hold my baby girl. Icy was born with a heart murmur and we knew it was coming, but it is always always too soon and sudden. I wanted a Rainbow Bridge page ready for her when this day came and I have hundreds of butterfly graphics as she loves watching the butterflies out the window in the Butterfly Garden. I just could not ever find the time. My hubby takes this stuff way harder than I do and he is going to totally lose it, and today is hubby's birthday. ~Icy's Momma Love, Milo]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/56446/diary/Meows_from_milo/592746 Sun, 31 May 2009 13:05:58 PDT Milo ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/56446/diary/Meows_from_milo/592746 EDGAR just notified me that I'm one of his five semi-finalists for having the Best Ear Floof!

VANESSA and TOFFY, we read their diaries. We noticed that Vanessa had written a diary entry on July 30th about a rosette she received from LEMUR. She wrote that "Getting a rosette from Lemur was like getting a rosette from ________". She was offering a special prize to the first kit to guess the name she was thinking of. We weren't really going for any prize, but it only took seconds for us to tell her we thought the answer was BRAD PITT. Just as we were getting ready to go to bed, we received a notification that we received a Catster gift of Zealies and that they were from Vanessa! So, we went back to her page and read her new diary entry that announced that we won her contest. Too funny! Mom was giggling her head off and almost thought she wasn't going to be able to go to sleep after that. Thanks, Vanessa!

HERE again in the Campbell location for another joint tap so we can see if there's been improvement with the inflammation in my joints and to have x-rays taken again. I do NOT like it here, so I am on the phone complaining to Mom and having her write this diary entry before they put me down for a nap. Having a joint tap performed on me means I couldn't eat past midnight last night so I am starving. I was standing in front of the food bowl this morning and next thing you know I was being carried off into the little jail cell and put in the car. As usual, I complained during the entire ride and instead of leaving the vet a present like I did last time, I decided to leave it for my Mom in the car! The car is being aired out all day now. *snickers* I have been acting like I feel better as far as my joints go, but I could stand to gain a pound or two. Got any extra weight you wanna give to me? I just hope there really has been improvement so that I don't have to make these trips regularly. Mom, you better be here to pick me up as soon as they're finished with me! ~Grumpy Milo]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/56446/diary/Meows_from_milo/340120 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 22:12:02 PDT Milo ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/56446/diary/Meows_from_milo/340120 That's what I'm going to say to Dr. Strubel, the vet specialist, when I go to see her again on Frida ... http://www.catster.com/cats/56446/diary/Meows_from_milo/332539 Wed, 4 Jul 2007 15:18:41 PDT Milo ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/56446/diary/Meows_from_milo/332539 I have now received all of the results from the recent joint tap I had done.

Veterinary Surgical Associates (VSA) in Campbell, CA. If you go to this site and click on the Campbell location where there is a picture of the reception area, you will understand how my Mom felt as soon as she walked through their doors! My appointment was with Dr. Strubel, who specializes in internal medicine, but they also have orthopedic surgeons which is good so that they can confer with each other as necessary. The first thing my Mom noticed when we walked into the exam room was the flat-screen computer monitor attached to the wall. She had not seen that before in any of the vet offices or animal hospitals that she's ever been to. Dr. Strubel seemed really nice even though I was crying and trying to find a place to hide, but I was cooperative and nice. She had all of my medical records and talked to Mom about what's been going on with me. Then they did a full exam, plus a body x-ray and numerous tests. My blood and urine levels are normal as well as my bladder, liver, and kidneys. However, we looked at my x-rays on the computer monitor and they showed that I have an immune-mediated erosive joint disease in my wrists and hocks and it has been eating away my bones in those areas. I'm not contagious, there's no concern that I have cancer, and even if I can't be cured, the right combination of meds can help control the disease and make me feel more comfortable. But I wasn't given any meds after this visit because they recommended that I go back on Thursday for a joint tap before they prescribe anything. I sure was glad to go home and a few of my brothers and sisters must have missed me because I got alot of head licks from them. Thursday came too soon. More crying by me and I was starving. I had to be asleep for the joint tap so I couldn't eat that morning. Mom took the day off and we arrived a half hour early because she wanted to try to calm me down before they did the procedure. When she mentioned that to the receptionist, she asked if we wanted to go in the "quiet room". Sure! It was a nicely decorated room with upholstered furniture and magazines. I got to come out of the carrier and just layed down next to Mom for awhile but then I had to be taken away. It was a long day but Dr. Strubel said I did really well. I was really wired after the procedure and very vocal. I just wanted to go home. This time, I was sent home with anti-inflammatory meds and antibiotics. Once again, as soon as I got home, I was welcomed and given lots of licks by my brothers and sisters. Then I ate because I was starving. On Friday, Dr. Strubel called with preliminary results that showed I don't have bacteria in my joints but I definitely have inflammation. We will get the rest of the results on the culture early next week so that they can ensure that I get all the meds I need. Then I will feel better and then should eat more because I'll want to get up more. What I am taking now is fine and actually, I've been going up and down the stairs more the last couple of days to go back and forth to my favorite napping spots. I will be okay. I may have more arthritis issues as I get older, but we'll deal with those when the time comes.

I think we're going to need an additional toy box but for now we're storing most of our toys all over the floor where they can be easily found.

Oh, and I was just informed today that I have another package coming my way, so I'll wait patiently for the delivery man. On a side note, I haven't talked about my weight very much because I've been stable, but mom wants me to gain one or two more pounds for some reason. I have no problems with eating. The dreaded vet wants me to go in to have my bloodwork done again and I'm trying to talk mom out of it.

All she would tell me was that I would be receiving a special pawmail and that it would be a surprise for a number of kitties. I even asked if I needed to dress up for the occasion but she said no. I tried to bribe her but she wouldn't budge, even though I knew she was bursting at the seams. Sure enough, I received a pawmail from her to visit the following forum thread: Click here . That's where I discovered that I was selected by Icebox to receive an honorary White Star Award, sponsored by the Pure White Kitty Club! Her explanation for choosing me was very sweet and I'm very proud to display the award on my page. Thanks again to Icebox and the Pure White Kitty Club members. You rock! Love, Milo P.S.

Toffy, I received a couple of pawmails commenting on Toffy's and his sister Vanessa's observations that I wanted to share with you. Just look at what you started, Toffy! *laughing* From Madison: Mom says she sees a cat face in your stone. You could put it on Ebay. Who knows, someone might offer some big bucks for it. Have you ever seen stuff they have for auction under the "weird" category? People actually bid on it. We saw a hotdog from Super Bowl being auctioned for thousands. Also, a grilled cheese sandwich that had a face of the Virgin Mary! Crazy! From Sydney: ...BTW we did look at the picture of your stone and we see the same orange kit as your friend said. MOL. Well I am glad I met you. You are, how should I say this... just beautifool. Not many guys are you know? But you are in a kind of Brad Pitt way. P.S. It really is true or maybe it's the power of suggestion but mom almost snorted coffee thru her nose when she saw the pic of your stone. Yep! An orangie cat face! MOL. Meant to also tell you that the mention of the cat diety was spot-on as far as mom is concerned...so funny! MOL ======================================================== Many of our friends have written to say that they thought the bladder stone that I had removed was huge. All I know is I sure didn't need it in my body. I've been eating very well and will be seeing Dr. Wong tomorrow for a check-up. Mom and Dad both think I look alot better but we'll see what Dr. Wong has to say.

He is ... Toffy. He is lucky I didn't laugh my stitches off!! Monday, January 1st: Hi Milo, Happy New Year to you and your family! I'm so glad that your surgery went well. I saw the photo of your bladder stone. You know, if you look at it carefully it looks like there's the face of an orange cat in it? Do you see it too or is it just my imagination? Wishing you a full and complete recovery soon! Purrs and headbonks, Toffy AND........ Tuesday, January 2nd: Hi Milo, Further to my message of last night about your bladder stone, yep I definitely see the face of an orange cat. Vanessa chimes in: I definitely see a face too, but it isn't any ordinary cat's face, it is the face of a feline deity, kind of like one of these: click here. Toffy: Hmmm.... what a miraculous discovery this is, Milo! Cats from all over the world will want to see the image. MOL! Just having some fun! I hope you're doing good today.

Caitlyn: Can you buy me a kitty? Mom: Well, I would love to buy you a kitty, but we'd have to check with your mom and dad first. You have to take care of kitties, like buy them food, a litter box, and take them to see the doctor when they're sick. Caitlyn: A litter box? Mom: It's where they go potty. Caitlyn: Next time you come here can you bring Milo? Mom: Milo wouldn't like the long drive to your house. Caitlyn: Can you put Milo in a box and send him to me? Mom: No, sorry, I wouldn't want to give any of my kids away just like your parents wouldn't want to give you away. Caitlyn: I like Milo, can you send me his picture? Mom: Okay, I'll send you his picture, but you can always look at him on his Catster page, too. Caitlyn: Can you buy me a kitty? Mom: I don't think Harley (the dog) would like it. Caitlyn: If I wake up and Harley goes to heaven can you buy me a kitty? Mom: You need to be nice to Harley because he's old now. We'll talk to your parents when the time is right. Caitlyn: Okay. Don't forget to send me a picture of Milo. Little kids. They can be really cute and blunt. I'm glad my Mom won't be sending me anywhere in a box but I'd be glad to help her find a couple of kitties to give to Caitlyn. Purrs, Milo P.S. I am eating pumpkin with my food.

Why? ... Cat Fence-in containment system. But the main reason why I like the rain is because I like to stay under the patio table and lick the rainwater off of the furniture, which my Mom really doesn't like to see me do. There's just something very tasty about rainwater and I can't help myself! I tell Mom it's a "fluffy kitty" thing, since I'm the only one in the family who does this, but she doesn't buy into that. I'll miss the rain when it leaves, but at the same time, it's also alot of fun to play in the garden during warm weather. There's grass to chew, bugs to chase, and shrubs to hide in. It's also fun to watch Mom try to corral us all back into the house. Some of us are more cooperative than others. Time to call it a night!
