		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Watcha got cookin'? That second line was mine. I loved the kitchen and spent lots of time there. But if mum was cooking, I was there for sure. Sometimes, she would come in the kitchen and sing to me -- hey good lookin' and I would look back at her and sing the second line with her in my heart. Then we would start making dinner. One day, mom was making rice and vegetables. She got the cutting board out and put it next to the sink. She got the water boiling for rice. Then, she got the veggies out of the fridge and put them in the sink to wash. When she came over to wash the veggies-guess where I was? Yup, right on the cutting board so I could watch closely and help. So mum washed the veggies and cut them up in the sink. Mum was humming and I was humming (purring ) along and things were going great. Then  papa came in and saw mum cutting veggies in the sink. He said " Honey,why don't you get a cutting board out? It would be easier and safer." Mum looked at me, then at Papa, and said " Honey, I do have a cutting board out" You know why I like Papa so much? Cuz he looked at us and said" oh yes, I see it now" and left us to our humming and cooking. Hehe.
I hoped you liked my happy kitchen memory.
Love,
Misha]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When I left for the bridge it left a big hole. I knew my mum would feel it but so many other catsters felt it too. Some were dear furriends of mine that I knew would miss me but some were furriends of Molly's or Macy's. Some were families who lost a kitty to the bridge and felt sad for my mum even though they didn't know me. Mum got lots of letters of support and condolences and I got lots of stars, rosies and letters with poems and pictures. Kitties put up memory pictures of me too. My favorite group the Olde furts and my friends there wrote a lot about me. I got pictures made of me with wings from friends and angels who just met me at the bridge. All this showed mum how big the hole was and sure made mum cry. We are busy writing thank yous. If we miss somebody, we are sorry. Every outstretched hand or paw was and is very much appreciated.       
  Mum has started having some happy memories about me and will write about those soon.
But for now..
Thanks to all of my wonderful catster furriends !
Love,
Misha]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello friends,
This is my story of my journey to the rainbow bridge. I woke up in a field with a sunbeam on me. I knew right away I wasn't home and it wasn't Christmas yet. I had been trying to hang on until Christmas so I was sad. Then, I saw a huge tiger kitty coming towards me that looked a little like my sister Emma. It Was Emma. Boy did she grow big and strong since the last time I saw her. Her fur was dazzling . She came over and licked my head and gave me a bath. My grogginess and sadness left and started feeling pretty good. She said it was time to walk to the bridge. I told her I was way too wobbly to walk more then a few feet. Then I saw Thomas and Mr Sam coming! My gosh, Thomas looked like a tuxedo panther and Sammy's fur shines like the sun on snow. They each got on a side of me and helped me walk. You know something? The closer I got the the bridge the stronger my legs got!  After a few feet we were trotting along. Oh my gosh I was trotting! Then I saw Calvin holding his Welcome Catster Kitties sign. We walked over towards him and the next thing I knew I was being welcomed to the rainbow bridge. 
 I will tell you about my first full day at the bridge next entry. But would you believe BC pals, it started with meatloaf and taters! 
Love you,
Misha]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks for your purrs and hugs and mum support. If just purrs could make me feel better I would be better for sure. You are all great pals ! Some cats were wondering-I am not vomiting or really acting nauseous.I act interested in food. I just won't eat. I drank a little cream last night so mum is going to get me more and some chicken noodle soup to see if I will drink some broth and we haven't tried baby food so she is going to get that too. After not eating anything since last morning, just a few minutes ago, I ate a few bites of American cheese! My mum will feed me anything now. Boy, would I have taken advantage of that not too long ago. So, as along as I eat a few bites everyday mum is going to keep trying to see if this is a bump to get over. She is not very optimistic though. When she looks me in the eyes, most of the time I am far away,you know what I mean? Not much of me is looking back at her.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been fighting cancer for about 6 weeks now and I am running out of fight. I have been getting my pills and I saw the oncologist again too. The tumor is no longer shrinking and I am feeling sicker. I don't want to eat. I kinda act like I do then I just lick the top of the food an walk away. Mum is trying all of my favorites. She tried the trick of putting food in my mouth, that would get me to eat a few bites a few days ago. Now I just let it dribble out. I won't even eat tuna or fresh turkey. The Dr. said he didn't think appetite stimulants would work too well cuz the tumor makes me feel sick. I don't want another pill! Geesh, I get enough. I just want to hide. Mum found me in a corner of the cold basement on the concrete floor yesterday. She tries to cuddle me and sometimes I let her for a little bit. I am so tired and out of fight. Sorry for the bad news but that is how I feel.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It all started with me being sick. Them mum found out I had a big tumor. Cancer 1. Then mum, me and the vet made a plan. I got a shot of elspar. Where my tummy was tight and a little ouchy before the shot, it became lose and flabby. Mum said it was cuz the tumor shrank. I started eating more too. Misha-1. Then we went back to the vet. He felt my tummy and looked with the ultrasound again. He said yup. the tumor shrunk! Then we made more plans. Mum has pills to give me everyday to keep the tumor from growing  (Leukeran) and to keep swelling down and appetite up (prednisolone) Misha-2. I have been letting mum put the pills down me like a good boy. I take a pill, I get a special treat! Yesterday, it was a spoonful of baked salmon. oh yummy. That's my progress report for now.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got an invitation to join a catster group! We clicked and looked and it was a group for kitties with cancer. My mum yelped and started crying. A group for cancer kitties is just so sad and that I should be a member? Oh, mum didn't want me to join but there were faces we recognized  and threads to help us get educated and cope too. So trying to be brave we joined. It's hard but we are learning about cancer fighting drugs. This is important cuz mum is picking a plan of action for me with the oncologist and we are getting started on Tuesday mum's day off. I might write about my treatments and stuff in my diary a little bit but not too much. I don't like to talk about it and it gets Everybody down. So, I can talk about it in the cancer group if I need to. That way I can just visit at Pie's and talk here about the so many other things in life besides cancer. Like naps or movie nights with mum!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was a good day for me. I had a nice breakfast then after visiting the furts I curled up on the top of the couch on the blanket and took a nap. Mum was running around doing mum things. Around 12 she decided to take a short nap before work. She got the fuzzy blanket out and laid on the couch and called me quietly so the other cats couldn't hear. I slid down and curled up right next to her. With her arm around me we took a little nap. Mum woke up in about 15 min and was going to get up. I looked at her with my dark green eyes, staring. I was purring you are getting sleepier and sleepier-I was hypnotizing her! I mean what is a 15 min nap? Ha, I got her to lay back down and cuddle me close for 45 min more. Yup, that's right I got a full hour cuddle with my mum in the middle of the day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I spent the whole afternoon at the vet. Mum took me and the x-rays and blood tests to the specialist. I ended up seeing an oncologist. He talked mum into handing me over for more tests! I got my tummy shaved and had an ultrasound. Then they stuck a needle in me and pulled some tumor cells out. Ouch-I growled at them. The vet said I have lymphosarcoma but he is sending my sample to the lab to make sure. He said surgery is not really an option but chemo might help. We will know more tomorrow when the lab results come back.
 I told mum-give me the check book! Geesh, for what she spent on these two vet visits I could have gone to Cozumel with 4 friends for a few days. Laying in the sun,toes in the sand, fresh fish, drinks, watching a certain girl kitty happy dance. That's the life for me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since I have started the antibiotics I am feeling better. Mum didn't have to go looking for me-I woke her up for breakfast. But I only ate one spoonful. I kept looking at my bowl but i just couldn't fit another bite in. Lucky for my mum, I asked for another spoonful about an hour later. Hehe, I am going to keep her busy today.
  I got my blood results. Everything is ok except my white blood count which was 35,900. Yup, that's high. It should be under 16,000. So good thing I am taking the antibiotics. I also have a growth in my abdomen. I know it is scary yikes! My vet thinks it is a spleen tumor. He wants to take it out when I feel better. My mum is going to have a specialist look at the x-rays for a second opinion. Maybe i just have a biggie size spleen hehe. So I hope everyone who reads this sends me a get better soon purr. Thanks furriends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just returned from a camping trip with my pals from Olde Furts. I had never gone camping before and it was meowvolous!!  First off, I have the best friends.Some, like Riley are adventurous. Riley found us a cave and dug little cubbyholes in it,did a lot of hunting and got engaged to lovely Sally Maria. All  during one camping trip.Then I have pals that I chill with. I went fishing with Simon who bought me a special hat with a light on it! I went for a walk with Flowie and Whisper and had chow and drinks with many other kitty pals. Kit and Rascal made jambalaya and Rascal made lizard on a stick. Two things I never had before! Then Rascal shot off lots and lots of quiet fireworks!! And for the grand finale he let Baci,Molly and Simon and ME blow off the final rockets! That's a a super pal! I can't wait to go camping again.]]></content:encoded>

Me and my Mum were worried because I am an Olde furt. Well my friends sent me rosettes and candles and p-mails to wish me good luck. And I had lots of good luck! Everything went well except for missing breakfast. My friends all like my bright smile and even my blue stitches too. Thanks friends-you are the best!]]></content:encoded>

They were running up and down the tree and hanging upside down on the feeder. They were so close I could just about taste them. Macy was making funny noises.

He put me on insulin injections. I was a good kitty with the shots but I didn't get better. Mum took me to a different vet. He put me on special wet food that is mostly liver and it is pretty good too.  She crushes a pill in my food  to help stimulate my pancreas. My sugar is normal now. I have to lose weight too. All the kitties are mad because mum can't leave food out anymore!! We are all on diets.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My person is on vacation and it is so great! I am getting snuggles and treats  all the time . In fact I am on her lap now and every now and then I tap her with my paw to get a pet or kiss.
 This new house is pretty nice. Today is so hot but we can go down in the basement and stay cool. The only thing I don't like about it here is the skinny black cat that comes to the window begging. She is loud and obnoxious! I hiss at her and tell her GO AWAY!!We didn't have that problem at the condo because we were on the 3rd floor.Anyway, my person feeds her in the morning so she keeps coming here. Molly and Macy tell me to get over it that she is just a hungry cat. I don't know. "M"]]></content:encoded>
