		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my Vet Dr. Kathy called Mom on Friday and since we haven't been on we wanted to give you my test results for my Kidneys.

I am dong well and holding my own. But I have a E coli UTI, Mom forgot to ask what caused the e coli UTI....she takes Kandi in on Wednesday for her blood work so she can have her toofies cleaned and teeth pulled Mom will ask them then.

 Here are my numbers for those that know of these

Bun is 35 stayed the same
& 
Creatinine is 3.3 went up from 3.1

So I am doing OKay!!!! now I just have to get rid of this E coli what ever that is...

and try not to be so stressed out because Tu Two is always stalking me and trying to get me so I hide and Mom has to make sure I use the litter box and drink water!!!Tu Two get a life other than bothering me, I am the older one, I am not the alpha cat so leave me alone.....

Gotta go, Mom needs to get my food so she can give me my medication...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had to go with Mom today she took me to the Vet so the vampire could take my blood for my CBC blood panel and then they took some of my urine for my urine culture and urinalysis to see how I am doing (kidneys). Mom talked to Dr. Kathy about Tu Two bothering me so she would know if anything is off because I get stressed.

I have to tell you I wasn't the only one that went to the vet today, Zeke had to go too, he will tell you in his own diary.

We were there for an hour cause Mom wanted to talk to Dr. Kathy about us and asked her some questions.

So now we have to wait for my results to come in, I have to tell you Mom is a little worried, she hopes I am still doing good, nothing really has changed except Tu Two is always bothering me & I am always trying to hide...she thinks she is the alpha cat around here.

We were done and ready to go home, but we didn't get to go home yet, Mom had to go take care of her clients cat and then on the way home because she drives right by her clients house that she walks their dogs we had to stop there too...Mom took us into the house the doggies tried to smell us but they couldn't reach us.

Finally I heard the garage door open and I knew we were home and safe. Mom kept me and Zeke in the front part of the house away from Tu and Kody so we could relax, not be bothered by those two young ones. Both Zeke and I had to use the potty box, drink water and we ate, then it was time for us to sleep. Can't blame us after all the we had to endure this morning. Bad enough we have to go to the Vet but to be taken to other animals houses, smell strange smells and be kept in out grates for hours...

Well that is how my day went, but soon I will be asking Mom for a good dinner, think I want tuna tonight..now back to my nap...talk later friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH wow me and Mom can't believe it, today I got another DDP honor...first I need to thank Dairy Lady/HQ for choosing my spring tag diary...now I have to say it was nothing special, but guess they liked my answers...

Spring just love spring, everything wakes up from the winter, all the flowers bloom and the air is fresh, sun is out and I get to enjoy basking outside.

Thank you my friends for stopping by and making this day special, it makes mine and Mom's heart warm, puts a smile on our faces...

We certainly didn't expect to be chosen, but here we did and all I can say is thank you to you all...

hugs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you to all of you our very special and wonderpurr friends for all of your love and special wishes on Easter. We love seeing all of our special egg gifts from you all.. Mom is reading all the messages and she said it is over whelming so many remembered us on the very special holiday. We are sorry we missed out on the fun

We were not on yesterday Mom just needed to rest and be alone, she is still trying to learn to live without her Mom. With each day that passes she knows it will get better...but knowing our friends are here for us makes those days better.

We hope you all had a wonderpurr Easter with family, you got lots of special treats and most important you all were with loved ones.

Mom got beautiful flowers to remember her Mom. They are pretty and in colors her Mom loved. Then we all just hung out at home.

So thank you all for your gifts,love and always being here for us...we are blessed thanks to you our friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Mom let me come here today to let you all know that she is still very very sad that her Mom passed away. She knows it will take time to heal, she says she has a bigger hole in her heart now, one that will take time to heal.

All has been taken care of Mom is just waiting for the call that her Moms ashes are ready for her to pick up. She knows this will make it final and hopes that she can then move on and not feel so very very sad. Mom really hasn't cried much since, she did the last week her Mom was here on earth and telling her good bye one last time...they told Mom she has been grieving for her Mom for a while now so maybe that is why she hasn't had a big cry.

Mom is trying to get back on catster because she knows it can be healing like it was when Tallulah passed away, we know so many of our friends have been through this and knows how Mom is feeling.

We have to say so sorry we have missed so much by not being here lately, we always feel so bad when our friends have birthdays, gotcha days and special honors and so much more. Wishing you all the best and hope all of your special days were great.

Mom will be checking in when she is feeling OK...Well I need to go Mom has some thank you cards to finish and get in the mail..

Sending our love, hugs and want you all to know you are all the best.

Xena for Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK, we have to say sorry to all of our friends tonight we didn't know I was DDP yesterday...we didn't get the message in Mom's email like we usually do, she looked and looked but no message for HQ...

Thank you HQ for choosing me yet again and for my friends leaving me messages and pictures. We don't know which diary they chose, guess it was good enough to pick me yet again.

Mom was gone Saturday morning and when she came home she had housework to do, then she was just too tired to let us on the computer. We missed me being DDP.

So I spend my day in my bed in Mom's closet away from everyone and all the stuff going on in the house with it being Saturday....got my dinner and my fluids then I crawled in my bed on the chair to spend the night in my warm cozy bed...

Hugs to all and thanks again]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW oh WOW Hi friends can you believe it, once again I am DDP! Now I really feel special and wonderfur because HQ and diary lady chose me once again.

I feel so lucky to be special for another day, feel lucky for all my friends for helping me today to celebrate yet another DDP honor. My friends who have visited me today thank you for my gifts and your comments, pictures you sent to me. Mom has been busy lately and we must say we are behind but will get caught up and hope we won't miss anyone.

Today is a gray day out, went out for a short time, but too cold this morning. Mom brushed me and cut my claws today so guess I got the works. After all the pampering I got it was time to go get my morning catnap. I asked Mom to let me in her closet, so I climbed in got comfy and dreamed of wonderfur things and my handsome sweetheart Tully, he is so handsome and sweet.

Well I gotta go now time for my special dinner I will be getting again tonight for me being DDP, served like a princess I must say cause that is who I am...a princess...


Love is Valentines day, the day of celebrating love...


Hugs]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Friends well here we go again, this ol lady is also on a roll with being chosen DDP again. WOW I think I deserve some wonderfur smiling catnip for this honor. We are surprised that we keep getting DDP'S but we love it cause we are sharing what is going on with us here, even if it isn't much going on. THANK YOU HQ AND DAIRY LADY for choosing me today. THANK YOU friends for the gifts and comments

Well my day started with Mom letting me outside on my leash, I went over to the grass and ate some, then I wanted back in too cold for this ol lady. So much going on in the house with the start of the day, everyone wanting their food wall at the same time...poor Mom!

So I finally get me food and turn my nose up to it, Mom isn't happy cause it has my medication in it to help with my CRF and kidneys. So she tries a new can of wellness for me, I ate just a little then I walked away. I ask to go outside again but Mom says no, but the ol lady is not giving in, Mom gave in and outside I went. 

Now Mom just found out that I am DDP again, she comes outside picks me up and gives me a big hug "Xena my sweet girl you are DDP again today, can you believe this we CATS are on a roll" MOL Mom this is great, now put me down and then when I come in give me my catnip....the rest of my day will be sleeping and feeling the high from wonderpurr catnip...

Thanks again, we love you all, we pray for those in need!!!!!!

This Ol Lady who love catnip

Thank you diary lady for choosing me today and getting my friends to read about my check up.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh you won't believe this, I had to go to the vet again, this time for my yearly check up and I got to see my Dr. Kathy. I do have to say that I did not want to be there again. 

Well I have good news I am doing well, my numbers for CRF are good they didn't change...GREAT, WONDERFUL!!!!!! and I am maintaining my weight too. 

She checked my heart too and told Mom no change so she doesn't think I need to see the heart specialist, she doesn't want to put me through any tests that don't need to be done. So if Mom sees any signs that I am having trouble she is to take me back and then I will have to see the specialist. Sure hope I continue to do good and not have to go to any vet or specialist.

Mom has to take me back to vet the end of April for my blood test, this is the big one, asked Mom what does that mean, she says they will check me for everything and it will cost more money.

So I got off easy this time, thank goodness...but we didn't go  straight home, no we didn't, I had to go into a strange house with doggies. Mom goes right by their house on the way home from my vet so she took me with her to walk the doggies, that way afterwards we got to stay home the rest of the day.

Guess what I did when we got home? I went into Moms closet to hide! that is right in the closet I went, I had enough.

Now on to our great weather, we are having warm days right now and I got to go outside lounge in the sun and do my daily bathing and basking in the sun, felt so good. I was outside for several hours and I was so happy~

I must tell you one last thing, I love having Mom home more and getting more time with her, but yesterday Mom was cleaning & doing laundry so I slept in her closet again and I have been in there again today. This way I get to have a great catnap without you know who bothering me...well I gotta go back to the closet and finish my catnap talk to you all later!

Sending our love, hugs and prayers to those in need!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi my friends, can't believe Mom is letting me write in my diary today. Well it is for you really, sorry we haven't been around lately and quite. Know we are still here, for Mom it is her slow time for a while, she has been busy doing her year end stuff for her business and of course getting things ready for taxes. She just did things for her estimated taxes.

Cleaning up and of course spending time with us, that is the best of all. Then she has been resting and relaxing which she doesn't get to do very often when she gets busy.

We want to congratulate all of our friends for their honors they have received while we have been away, sending belated birthday  wishes as well...purrs and prayers for those in need and for those that have made their journey to the rainbow bridge.

I have a secret Mom has checked here for what is going on just not staying on long at all..

Well we wanted to let you know and soon we will be back, but it does seem to be very very slow and not much happening around here...is everyone resting now like Mom?

Well Mom says it is time for me to stop now, so sending our love and lots of hugs to you all...


purrs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Unbeknownst to me, Mom had made plans to whisk me off to the vet this morning to visit the vampire guy, yeah a guy this time. It was a short visit hooray. But sadly they took my blood, yeah my blood...what gives why must they take my precious blood? 

Mom had the nerve to leave me and go to the Postal Annex to mail a card to a special friend, she didn't come right back cause she walked in and what did she see a lot of HELLO KITTY items and they were all half price. So she had to look and got things for her business like notepads, notecards, stamps and a calculator...the nerve of Mom leave me there, they were done with me and I had to wait..

Soon they called in back to let them know Mom was back, about time I say. She paid the bill Mom was surprised that it wasn't much this time. Then I heard her ask the lady up front that she needs to bring me in for my yearly checkup. Not again, you mean I have to go through this again and come back here. Yes I will go back next Friday see Dr. Kathy and have her check me out...check me out well I have to tell you I am fine and I don't need this check me out stuff...luckily I won't get any shots, but I know she will feel me all over from top to bottom etc...thank goodness this is only once a year, Mom says that too.

Well finally we were on our way, but wait Mom is going a different way today, she tells me Xena you are going to work with me today, I have to drive north from here to go take care of a kitty named Riley, her Mom is gone on a business trip and I have to take care of her today. So we are on the freeway and all of a sudden Mom sees up ahead that the traffic is stopped, luckily she was far enough away to move over and get off the freeway and bypass the traffic....yeah we had to go out of our way, but Mom later heard that a big rig had an accident and dump gravel all over the freeway, so everyone was stuck. Thank God Mom was able to avoid that. Finally we get to this cats house, it is by the ocean, not that I care...we go in, Mom puts me on the counter away from the kitty, she didn't want her to know I was there, me I was so quite you wouldn't even know I was there. I watched Mom with this other kitty, the nerve again of Mom...but Mom tells me this is her job.

30 Minutes later we are getting ready to leave, she tells Riley good bye and she will see her again soon and we are on our way. Guess what the traffic was still stopped and backed up even more. Finally after driving for 20 minutes we are home...home sweet home!

For all that I had to go through Mom gave me some can food, of course the 2 partners in crime Tu Two & Kody think they should get some too, Mom gave Kody a little cause he is still growing and Tu Two got tuna flakes. 

I am resting and enjoying my wonderpurr heated bed now...thanks Mom for caring and making sure I am doing good, now we just wait to hear from my Vet on the blood work results...hoping my numbers for my kidneys are good...

That is how I spent my day and I am glad it is over!!!hugs to all my friends

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As we look back on 2012 we have to say we enjoyed being here on Catster with all of our friends.

Some have left and we are sad, some got sick and had to make their journey that really makes us so sad, with tears in our eyes we say we miss you all, you will always be remembered & honored. Fly free, we see your paw prints in the sky. when we find we are missing you we will listen our hearts and will know you are never very far, cause we see the shining paws in the sky...kitty angels watching over their families and friends...like our Tallulah!So all remember our angels are always with us in our hearts and memories.

Our friends that have always been here for us, we thank you we could never get past each day without you, we love all the comments, gifts, wishes and blessing from our friends. Speaking of friends we have made so many new friends in 2012 we love having new friends to play with, hug and laugh with too.

I am still  doing good even though I have CRF.... but I must say I now sleep most of the time in the dining chair on my heated bed to keep away from Tu Two and Kody.

The world has changed and we must say not for the good, what tomorrow will bring we only hope it will get better. We pray for those that have had to endure hardship & loss.

2012 has been an OK year for us, what will tomorrow bring for 2013 one does not know...we just cherish one another and be thankful that we have each other and our friends. 

As we start 2013 we are so thankful & happy we have you for our friends here on catster, we laugh, we cry; our wish is for you all to have a wonderpurr year. We pray for those that are sick and not feeling well and our hope is for all to feel better and live long lives. We hope that those that have left Catster will one day return. Know we will continue to be here for our friends, to laugh, cry, have fun and send hugs to and with.

Cherish each day! give all of us your precious gifts from God lots of love and  hugs each day....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends, well Mom is letting me come to visit and see what is going on with our friends. So here is the latest.

Mom is feeling better, but still has the nasty cough!!!!!she just can't seem to get rid of it and her energy level is low, but she is on the road to getting better. This is the first cold Mom has had in many years, she just doesn't get sick so this is so unusual for her!

We have all been giving Mom lots of love, yes even me the loner most of the time....I go into bed at night to visit her after seeing her get up, but I don't stay long I like to be out and wonder around while everyone else is sleeping cause lately I am hiding more because Tu Two and Kody like to stalk me and bother me. Today Mom broke down and got another litter box to put out in our area not in the laundry room, so if I need to use the box I can go in it and not have Tu Two wait for me in the hall which she has been doing lately and jumping on me...Mom is worried about me cause I hide too much. She hopes this will help! Mom doesn't know why Tu Two has decided to bother me and Kody follows everything she does. 

Well I need to go and visit with Mom give her cuddles and watch her drink her nice hot tea she so loves to drink.

Thank you again for all of your comments on my diaries, my gifts for my birthday and DDP....with Mom feeling better she is hoping she will feel more like letting us visit again more and not be gone, but she does need her rest....starting the 21st she will be very busy again until the first of next year.


hugs, love, purrs and prayers for all

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends here we go again! Mom got sick last Thursday, she was in bed for 2 days sleeping and resting. Luckily she had the 2 days off, not a good way to spend her few days off, but guess it was better because she wasn't feeling good at all....thanks for Dad he is the one that brought the sickness into the house.

Well Mom is still not feeling well, but now she has to take care of 2 kitties while their Dad is in Europe for work till the 14th, tomorrow she has to take care of 2 tiny doggies for 3 days and she is still doing her 2 dog walks...so by the time she gets home again she isn't feeling good, takes medicine and then falls asleep.

We just wanted to let you know that we are still around, just having to take a break while Mom is trying to get better....this is the worst time for Mom to be sick cause starting next week she will be even busier till after all of the holidays are over.

I want to thank you all for my gifts for my birthday, being DDP and any other things I have missed or my family. 

Hopefully Mom will feel better very soon and we will be back. We think of you all often and we are sad we are not here right now.

hugs from all of us]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends, we have to say friends have made my day even more e,special today with all of the gifts, the love, my birthday cakes and pictures. We tried to thank everyone and hope we didn't miss anyone, if we did we thank you here from the bottom of my heart.

As Mom reflects today she says were did the time go, she remembers when she first saw me in a little pet store, she had just lost one of her first kitties as an adult her name was Bobby-Lynn! She was with my young human sister, they decided to just look and the rest is history...actually they saw me and played with me and my siblings, Mom remembers my sisfur was a calico, so she wasn't sure if she was going to get me or my sisfur. It was the day before Thanksgiving back then so they left without me, but Mom couldn't get us out of her mind.

A Vet had found us and brought us to the pet store we were in a cage like Mom has for all of us. The day after Thanksgiving Mom and my human sister came walking in, asked if they could see me and my sisfur, they got us out and we got to run around and let them see us. Well as you all know Mom picked me, you want to know why---well it is because I have a face like the mask of Phantom of the Opera....so I came home that day the 28th. Not knowing what day I was born Mom decided this was my birthday because this is the day she got  her special Xena to help her heal from loosing her Bobby-Lynn who was only 8, just died suddenly while Mom was at work.

I came into my new home and let everyone know I am the warrior and a princess so I will fit in, run, jump and be that warrior I am names after.

I loved jumping on top of doors, above the kitchen cupboards..which I might tell you I don't do anymore this girl is getting too old to be that warrior.

I have always been healthy, the only thing that happened to me was having my back leg break when I was fixed at the vet office, yes when they released my legs from the table after the surgery my leg snapped, I was in a cast and it never stopped me, no it didn't.

I love my family and my life, I love being able to just sleep, spend time out in the yard and now in my new kitty tent. I sometimes will sleep with Mom, I used to do it all the time, till Tallulah came in and took my place, now Tu Two...I love getting brushed.

As the years have gone by I have had a wonderpurr life, this girl is getting older, Moms oldest kitty...when I was 13 it worried Mom so when the year came and then 14, now 15...most of my furblings haven't lived past 13...so Mom knows I am really special and she cherishes everyday  she has me.

I have CRF, but I am doing good, I am still eating and enjoying my days. Mom says I am her warrior and she can still see me jumping all over the place and being her little kitten...it is hard for her to see me getting older and slowing down now, but this girl is here and isn't going anywhere anytime soon...afterall I am the oldest and I have lots of knowledge to pass on to Tu Two and Kody and so much to teach them...

This is a good birthday one that is a relaxing day, I will get a special dinner tonight...

Mom says she will be putting some of my kitten pictures on my page soon. Then you all can see how cute I was and know why Mom picked me to many years ago and this day my birthday!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL can't believe I will be 15 tomorrow 11/28/2012 and neither can Mom. Where has the time gone, it seems like yesterday I was a very tiny little kitty with my cat Mom, I don't remember her, but I will always love her. Mom actually adopted me on the 28th so she made it my birthday because I got my forever home and new Mom.

Mom says for me being 15 I am in good shape, I have always been healthy never been sick,only thing I had was I broke my leg at the vet office after I got fixed...till last year my vet told Mom I have the starting stages of CRF. I am doing good, I eat well, I still love going out and getting fresh air, once in a while I will play and I still love catnip.

I am a good girl and my Mom loves me lots and I love her. I have always been a kitty that just likes to be left alone, but I do have my moments. I do love getting pets, scritched and combed everyday.

where has the time gone, I am Moms oldest cat she has had since she had her own kitties. So Mom tells me everyday she is so happy I am with her and she loves me.

I got a present yesterday, actually it is for all of us but Mom thinks I will enjoy it more than any of them...we got a big tent for kitties...yes we have a tent.

Mom put it up yesterday and she put me it is, I wasn't sure about being in there at first, but then I realize I don't have to wear my leash, it protects from from harm and the sun...this is going to be great just hanging out in my protected tent...Mom took pictures....you can see them on my page...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We have to tell you that the shelter where we got out precious Tu Two along with Sea World & Southwest Airlines  flew to New York/New Jersey and took 30 kitties and 30 doggies to San Diego to get them new homes. They were in shelters and the shelters were flooded and they may not have been alive because of Sandy distruction. They are all getting treatments, fixed and they will start getting adopted tomorrow...this shelter is a no kill shelter so they will be there until they are adopted.

The shelter is Helen Woodward Animal Center...Mom donates to them, has done walks to help raise money...and of course Tu Two was also brought from a crowded shelter.

We are happy they were able to help kitties and doggies from NY/New Jersey and give them all a second chance....

Mom is unable to adopt another kitty and certainly not another dog...so she donated some money to help in their care. This makes Mom so happy to know that we were able to help...and how wonderpurr Sea World and the airlines was to give their time and plane to help these precious kitties and doggies...

Now they are California/San Diego fur babies...they said there is a lot of people ready to adopt them...lets hope they all find homes, but if not right away we know they will not be put down, they will be there till that right person comes in and they find their forever home...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am sitting out on our patio minding my own business the other day, then all of a sudden I catch something out of the corner of my eye! wonder what that could be, so I have been watching and waiting to catch a glimpse of it again.

Well it made the mistake of coming out and waam I caught that lizard I did...and I had it in my mouth....then it died...I didn't tell Mom. 

After it died I moved on and was laying on the patio enjoying the sun just soaking up the rays. Soon Mom came out to bring me in, she took off my leash and in I went in. Then Mom went back out to bring in my leash and harness, that is when she saw the lizard under the chair. She thought is was just sitting there, but realized it was dead...She asked me Xena did you kill that lizard...no answer I am not telling her I did, I just give her that look "who me"...she will never know for sure...

Well she knows for sure cause I was the only one out there, our doggie Milo was out there, but he isn't fast or smart enough to catch a lizard he is always trying, but just barks...cats are the best hunters...I know cause I have caught a humming bird in mid air one time,no I didn't kill the bird Mom made me drop it and it flew away...but I have killed one bird for sure.

Yeah this old lady still has it, I may be getting older but I am a warrior, I am the hunter, beware lizards I will be out there watching for you to come out and I will catch you eventually.

Halloween spirits, ghosts and cats,
Weird-happenings and witches brew,
These are the things I wish for you.

Be a trick to help you gain a friend or two.
So, by tomorrow, pick three friends sweet,
And give them all a Halloween treat.
You only have one day, so hurry!
Leave a treat on the doorstep, then flee in a hurry!


We are thinking of our friends that are in the nasty storm...we purr that they are all safe and OKay.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay I know it is usually our Angel Tallulah writing about Breast Cancer, but I am writing too...no I don't have it thank God...and I am doing well!

Now we want to say to our friends as we all know this is breast cancer awareness month. We wear pink proudly, we honor those that have lost their battle and we pray for those that are fighting this horrible cancer.

But mostly for me and my family we honor our Mom cause she is still fighting for Tallulah and all of the kitties, she is educating our humans about kitties getting breast cancer...I ask myself how can I honor my Mom...I know I will love her & cherish my special Mom! we honor our Tallulah for the brave fight she fought, never giving up. She was special and she is our angel in heaven helping others with Mom.

Hooray for Mom for helping make Kitty Breast Cancer Awareness world wide and for helping the parents going through this, it can be so hard on Mom, I see her cry and so sad, but she knows she has to help, keep the strength, never give up and always be here for those that need the help. 

Tallulah has taught Mom to be strong, have pride! So this month we cherish life, the circle of caring never ends! Get your pink on cause this is after all Breast Cancer Awareness Month..for not only humans but for us kitties! yes we do get breast cancer and we must educate and learn...stand up wear your pink and let others know.

Celebrate life!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay now I have to tell you I was not prepared for Mom to bring in this little orange furball and tell me Xena you have a new little brofur. What! What did you say! I just got Tu Two to where she is grown to a young kitty and now I have another kitten running around like a crazy orange boy, he is wild & crazy. I am not sure I like him, the verdict is still out on this one.

He is cute and funny, he keeps us entertained I must say, but I don't like him when he jumps on or at me. Mom says he just wants to play, I must say he gets into trouble when he does that; but please doesn't he know I am the #1 cat in this house, I am getting too old to play with a wild crazy orange kitten. 

I will have to think about this new kitten in our house, this Kody the purring machine that runs all over the house.

So now I have 2 in my house that chase after me, stalk me and drive me crazy. What is this #1 cat of my house to do, I think the verdict is still out on my new brofur...Mom I love my brofur Zeke and only brofur, till Kody came into my domain. The only good thing I can say is Kody & Tu Two do play with one another they leave me alone most of the time.

I will have to think about all of this... I will take a nap and decide later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello to all of our friends,

We just stopped by to let you all know we are still here, Mom has been super tired lately from all the driving and taking care of her clients pets, dealing with her Mom that has dementia that she is has been taking a break from even turning on the computer.

This week has been especially tiring for her, she has been out of the house before 6 to take care of 2 clients ones, one that has to have her insulin 2 times a day. Mom has to leave early because we live by 2 schools and if Mom doesn't get back to our house by 6:45 she will be in school traffic...she hates that!

Then she comes home takes care of all of us, then out again to walk 2 clients dogs, back home for a while...this is when she sits down and falls asleep....then out again before work traffic begins so she can return home to get our dinner ready...

So she has no energy to get on the computer, tonight she decided to check her mail and then get off...we will be back maybe this weekend....she has been having fun with Kody he is doing well...

Well I gotta go Mom says time to get off now...We miss our friends, we send love to you all and know we are purring & praying for all in need.

Xena, Mom and family]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have to tell you all that I have been hiding on the dining room chair for a while now. I haven't told Mom why, but she finally figured out why...TU TWO!!!!yes the BIG BEAST, she is stalking me every time I walk around. I have had enough so I hide under the table on the chair.

Mom finally caught THE BEAST TU TWO run after me and jump on me. I think she thinks I am her pray or her toy...TU TWO YOU BEAST don't you know I am the oldest cat and you don't bother me. Now I have done the smacky paw but she isn't getting the message....any suggestions friends.....

Mom is worried because I don't get up, I need to be drinking water, going to the ladies box.....when Mom is home she makes sure THE BEAST TU TWO doesn't chase me or bother me, but I am always on the look out for her. The stress isn't good for me, Mom worries I can't have that!

First it was Kandi the meanie when she came here, Mom tired to have a temporary screen up in front of the room, I refused to go to the ladies box...now this...

What can I do, I just want to be left alone, I am too old to be messing with this BEAST TU TWO...now I know she is part of our family & yes I do love her, but really do I have to put up with her chasing me every time I want to walk around, drink water, eat, use the ladies box...Now Mom has to watch all the time.

When Mom leaves to do her pet sits and dog walks we all go to sleep, so she doesn't bother me, but how do I know if she will come out of no where and ponce on me...no way am I taking that chance....Mom worries about the night time I am up at night and so is TU TWO...THE BEAST...

What is this elder girl to do...I think I need to request Tallulah to come to earth and give this girl a talking to....

Well back to my hiding place!!!!talk later

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As Mom and I are sitting here relaxing and trying to stay cool my Vet Dr. Kathy called with my results from the blood they had the nerve to take from me yesterday.

Hooray my numbers went down which is what we want.....

BUN number
4 Months ago   today 8/29
   41     to        38

Creatinine

   3.7    to       3.0

Both Mom and Dr. Kathy are very happy with the results, so I will continue getting my 100ml 3 times a week. I will go back in for another visit in December so they can steal more blood from me.

 Dr. Kathy asked how I was doing and of course Mom told her I am doing really good, eating all the time and enjoying life. Mom also asked about me getting Cosequin again Dr. Kathy said yes, so now I will be getting more meds...no no nooooo....can't I just have my can food without meds, in them...What a cat must endure...I also get RX Vitamins for Pet Amino B + K along with my regular Vitamins and Digestive enzymes... 

I was not happy to have to go to the Vet yesterday and I let Mom know as I cried while she was driving and when we got inside the Vet front office I was growling....

It didn't take long at all, once Mom paid the bill, ordered more RX Vitamins for me we were on our way home, Mom gave me can food when we got back into the house, oh yummy always ready for can food...she told me I was a good girl even though I meooooowwed in the car and growled in the vet office...vet tech said I was good too...but of course!

The rest of the day I just hung out and slept! until dinner time and then I had to get my fluids.

One happy kitty and Mom!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I have been tagged by Tully my sweetheart and my good family freind Anna, Mom wasn't going to do this you see this is a sad and hard week for Mom with Tallulah's bridge day on the 23rd....but she decided to let us have fun! 
So here are my answers!

"Who are you really?"

1) Tell me your funny Christmas story.
I don't think it is funny but when we were kittens my human sisfurs liked to put bows on our heads and tails to see us run around and get them off. 

2) Where's your favorite hiding place when playing hide and go seek?
Under Mom’s bed in the middle, no one finds me there cause they have drawers under their bed.

3) What did you dream of being as a young kit? 
A fearless kitty warrior…which I might tell you I was until I got bigger

4) What's your favorite hobby? Anything goes.
Sleeping and sitting outside in the mornings watching the birdies & butterflies

5) Whats your one "bad habit" that you love and your Mom hates?
well this is kinda private but here goes. Whenever I hear someone coming near or in the potty room I jump out and I drop poopies on the floor, the side of the box or washer/dryer...

6) If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?
Someplace where it is cooler and greener

7) What is your guilty pleasure? Food, skirts and suits or cars? What?
Getting to eat tuna

8) What is your favorite make believe monster? And yes girls, unicorns and fairies are included. Post a pic of this mysterious beast.
I don’t have a favorite

9) What is the one dreaded thing you have to do at home? Babysitting, taking baths, entertaining guests....what is your dread?
With being the oldest Mom always tells me to take care of the house and my furblings while she is gone, I don’t get it why me…I just want to sleep

10) I’m not so sure if Zach and Zoe are going to have coed ships this year or not, but in any case, which ship would you want to be on: Zach’s, or Zoe’s? 
Since I am a girl I will be on Zoe’s us girls have to stick together, sorry guys!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I must tell you all that I am not happy with Mom right now. You see she is opening up the door where the mean cat lives, lets see her name is Kandi. I am afraid of her and because Mom has been opening the door, putting a funny looking temporary screen at the door I can see and hear that cat. She is near the laundry room where we have our potty boxes...I hate to go down that hall and see her so I am staying in the dining room on a chair all day.

I am not sleeping during the day in my favorite bunk bed and I don't go in that part of the house. Mom finally realized it has to be  because she is letting Kandi see us and keeping her from being in the stuffy room. Mom says poor Kandi, I say poor me.

I am not happy and now Mom has to figure out that she can't have that door open and have Kandi watching every move I make...I am a nice sweet kitty and I don't fight, never ever have been in a fight....but boy Kandi sure can, she  has fought with Zeke once the fur was flying and I was hiding and she fights with our doggie Mia...they hate each other...and that is another story.

Today Mom tried to get me out there to get brushed I only stayed for a very short time and right back into the dining room. Mom let me outside this morning and again when she returned home hoping it would make me feel better. Then I hear the door bell ring and I am trying to find a place to hide outside by the door...didn't work. Once that person was gone Mom brought me in and I walked real slow checking the house out to make sure no one is there. MOL finally no one there and no open door to see Kandi.

Mom doesn't want me to be stressed she is always worried about me with my heart murmur and CRF...I need a quite stress free life...

Mom get a clue no Kandi keep tha door shut!!!!!!!from your oldest kitty to you....

hugs from me]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is from a doggie friend in our group Pen Paws, her name is Minister Misty...we thought we would share with our friends, the fight is on to get dogster/catster back and we all need to help....please read!!!! 

as we all know,dogster and catster has fallen silent.
groups are either dead or dying.
founders are struggling to keep their groups alive,but it's so hard.
now i'm gonna fight this...
i want our beloved site's back and i want the spirit back we one had.

first thing i did is start a facebook group called fight for our site's,where facebook site members can talk with me and eichother about the site,the how and why they think it's fallen silent and what we can do as a team to get it back on dogster and catster.
and to get to those that left us to go to facebook and to reason with them to come home.
or at least just play here and there,because i do that and it's not hard at all.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/488726154475380/


Hugs to you all that are still here!!!!we love you all

Xena and family

i'm also posting about our cause in the dogster and catster flus forum(in the friendly thread)
i would really apreciate it if you would sniff those out and post there.

also we as a group have came up with our first idea.

THE POST REACTION EXPERIMENT....

this means that you enter your groupmail at least once a day(more would be great)
than see what members of the groups your in have posted and than repond to their mesagge.
i see that this is the first paw to make a group feel welcome and open again.
it's a fact if members don't respond to a groupmessage,other members don't want to post in a group no more.
because they will think "what is the point,if no fur responds"
and they are right.
and than...
wham a dead silent group.
it's shame.

i'm doing it in my own group and i see members i havent seen in two years and i see new members post also.
so it is a succes,if we are doing it together!

so who will join this experiment?
are you a dogster and catster true to the soul?

also BITU from C&D cruiselines,who is the creator of C&D newsletter is making an article about our cause.
and from what i heard the group Shih Tzus and Friends United~ » will also make an article in their newspaper thread called THE RAG.
so i hope to get some more furs attention.
thank you bitu and Shih Tzus and Friends United~.

i also made a forum thread in the catster friendly forum,well my brofur baba did.

i also am thinking about a dogster/catster group that is dedicated to how to run your group.
with tips,idea's and other knowledge about how to start a group and make it booming.
but that in the making.
because i need administrators that are either groupfounder of active groups,or administrators that work along in an active group.
are you one of them,please pawmail me.

i hope furs will pawmail me with idea's and get this out to the public,because i can't do this alone.
dogster and catster is a community,so we need eichother to change things.
are you willing to help me.

big wuv,you friend...minister misty!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends, I must admit that me and Mom have been emailing HQ about the problems we are all having with not getting notifications on comments etc...you know what I am saying right!!!well we have gotten several responses saying they are passing it on! Well that really isn't what me and Mom wanted to hear.

But today we got an email and this is what is said


Thanks for your continued patience.

The notification problem has been a very stubborn flea. I've been with the team since 2004 and I can't remember one that has been this hard for the Techno Cats to fix. Very frustrating for everyone. :-(

We just wanted to share their response and we sure hope the techno cats fix it soon.....and I guess we all just need to be patient...I think I will just go take a nap now...

Fleas Fleas go away and don't come back!!!!we have had enough of you messing with out Catster.....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today as before, our brave do fight
For a land they love, a flag so right

The pride of our country, yes they are
The strength of our nation, best by far

Just as our brave from each war gone by
They march for us proudly, flag held high

From all over this land they come to serve
They’re taught by the best, this they deserve

When troops give their all, the world does see
Whether serving on land, in the air, or at sea

The pride from this country, march through war
With home drawn strength, held deep in their core

Our best are so awesome, their loved ones well know
May God guide their journey where they - for us - go

What these brave must have is support from their own
The love from their people, firm thankfulness shown

Our greatest achievement is that we’re still free
Please take time and ponder who caused this to be


HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERPURR AND SAFE DAY!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today we came to Catster to only see that it has been sad yesterday and today. Our special sweet friend Alfie who lives in the UK past away yesterday and then our good and special friend Violet is making his journey today. Mom of course has tears in her eyes because both of our friends families were here for QT and Mom....now she wants to be here for their families...it is never easy on any of our families when we have to leave and make our journeys.....we send them our love, hugs and we want them to know we are here. 

So as we sadly say goodbye for now, we will paws for a moment, remember them and say a little prayer for Alfie and Violet & their families...you both left paw prints in our hearts and you will always be in our hearts....

God must have been smiling when He created the Cat! He made them in sizes, shapes, and colors designed to please their human companions, and He gave them soft fur and melodic purrs guaranteed to bring them close to our hearts.

Cats can be funny and reserved, content and curious, shy and affectionate, scrappy and serene - sometimes all in one day! a purrfect blessing from heaven.


Our fur babies are a blessing from heaven, we have them for such a short time and they bring us so much joy, love and smiles...unconditional love. This is why we have a hard time when we lose our precious gifts our kitties from heaven.....

Rest in peace sweet friends, love and never forgotten....heaven has 2 more special and sweet angels....

Xena and Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Such devotion should come as not surprise. Human beings are fascinated and beguiled by the mysterious aloofness of cats; their swift prowess as hunters; their sensuous, sculpted bodies; their elegant, acrobatic grace and agility; their kittenish curiosity and mischief: and their regal dignity. Our lives with cats are not only ennobled, they are made longer; studies show that owning a cat alleviates loneliness, anxiety, and depression: reduces stress, high blood pressure, and heart disease: and adds six months to the average person's life....

For us Cat Lovers (ailurophiles, if you prefer a fancy word for that tribe), magical, mystical cats are a blessing to life. They.....

Warm our laps and our hearts

Give us someone to talk to and to spoil

Create a bond with other cat people

Turn common household objects into cat toys

Donate their services as alarm clocks

Are living adornments of our homes

Keep mice on the run

Remind us that there are still wild things in our world

Remind us that life is mysterious

Inspire poets, writers, moviemakers, creators of musical theater, artists, and cartoonists

And hold the purr strings to our hearts

So we can write in our diaries in praise of our kitties and friends....



My Mom says that all of this is true, we warm her lap and heart, we are mysterious to say the least, we can be wild and we do hold the purr strings in her heart....

My Mom loves us and we love her!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here we go more reasons why our Moms are cat lovers!

You keep a mental list of people you would like to spay or neuter. You like people who like your cat and despise people who don't.
You sleep in the same position all night because if annoys your cat when you move.
You pet off making the bed until the kitty wakes up.
You absentmindedly pat people on the head or scratch them behind their ears.
You cringe at the rising price of food in the grocery store but think nothing of the cost of cat food or treats.
You carry cat treats in your pocket or purse at all times.
You have more than for opened but rejected cans of cat food in the refrigerator.
You watch bad TV because your cat is sleeping on the remote.
You spend more time shopping at the pet store than you do at the clothes store.
In your photo album, there is scarcely a picture of anybody with tow legs.
Your cat is the start of your web site.
Garfield is your favorite comic strip and Tom & Jerry your favorite movie short subject.
Your cat's name is featured on your license plate or license-plate holder.
You love bring home cats bags. You never completely finish a piece of chicken or fish so your cat gets a taste, too.
You leave the sock drawer open so your cat can sleep in it.
You stand at an open door indefinitely in the freezing rain while your cat sniffs the door, deciding whether to go out or come in.
The first question you ask when on a date is:"So, do you like cats?"
Every chance you get, you lecture people on responsible cat ownership.
You type using no capital letters  because there's a cat on you arm preventing you from using the shift key.
You believe that every life should have nine cats.
When you leave home, you pat your spouse on the head and kiss you cat goodbye.
If you're an author, you dedicate your books to you cats.

Now we do believe are Moms are CAT LOVERS! AND I THINK WE SHOULD WE ARE CRAZY CAT MOMS...

Well this is the end of our list....hope you all enjoyed and got a good laugh...we know all of you can relate to some, most or all of these reasons our Moms are Cat Lovers.

hugs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is a cat lover, is your Mom!!!!

Cat lovers have a special attraction to those purring lapfuls of fur who sometimes deign to cohabit with them. Cat people are a special breed not recognized by the Cat Fanncier' association. You know you're a cat lover if....
You can't go more than a half hour without craving to pat a furry head.
There is no sweeter sound to your ears than a feline purring.
All of your clothes have cat hair on them,even when they come pback for the laundromat or dry cleaner. Cat hair is everywhere-on your rug, your bedspread, your packing tap, and in your sinks. When you find a cat hair in your food, you remove it and blithely go on eating.
Lint rollers are on your shopping list every week.
Your floors are littered with cat toys
You have no small children at home, but you refer to yourself as Mommy or Daddy.
Your parents refer to your pets as their grandcat
You often talk in a goofy high voice
The rolls of toilet paper in your bathrooms are partially shredded
Your vet's receptionist recognizes your voice, that's because when you and your cat get sick, you take the cat to the vet's but settle for an over the-counter remedy for you
The instructions to the cat kennel or pet sitter are longer than the instructions to the house sitter
you get birthday cards for you cat from family, friends, and the vet. When you send them cards, you sign for your cat




Tomorrow there will be more reasons we are all cat lovers!


I know my Mom is a cat lover because the above list refers to my Mom that is for sure....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good evening my friends...I am mad at Mom and sad because we missed me being DDP yesterday...I was home yesterday waiting for Moms return watching out the bay window but no Mom till the afternoon, by then I was ready to take my long afternoon nap.

You see Mom was at the Zoo, she goes every month for a Sunrise Stroll except for July & August....she started going to these 7 years ago, she has to pay for this, but the neat thing is she goes into the zoo with an educator and about 30 other people @ 7:30 before the zoo opens, they walk around go behind the scenes to see all kinds of animals up close, she learns about them and so much more. She always comes home and tells us all about the lions, tigers & bears oh my and so many more.Mom says that is the best time to be in the zoo it is quite, you see all the animals just coming out, waking up...

Well yesterday just happened to be her April months day to go and she was so excited when she got home to tell us about the Amur Leopard.The Amur leopard is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with just 35 remaining in the wild, all in the Russia’s Far East. 

Those 3 cubs 2 boys and a girl ran around, chased each other, played in water....Mom got some great pictures of them and we want to share them with our friends....we know you all will go gaga over them...cause we are...just think those big kitties are just like us, we play with each other too...but I must admit I don't like to play in water. They roar, but don't purr...we purr and meow...Oh my I think they are pretty to look at, but I don't think I want to play with them...

Now that Mom had a good reason to not get on Catster yesterday I am still sad that I didn't get to be here and thank all of you before today. 
Thank you HQ for choosing me yesterday even if I missed it, I am honored beyond belief...thank you friends for all of the gifts and comments...friends are what makes all of this so special so I thank you my friends....I love you all

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Xena here as you all know I had to go in to the Vet to have blood work and gave urine to make sure there is no bacteria in it..

Dr. Kathy called Mom today with all of my results. My urine is good no signs of bacteria like the last time, but still diluted which is to be expected with me having CRF...

Now for the blood work results most of it is good...

My numbers for the kidneys is:

Bun was 40  now  41

Creactinine was 3.3 now 3.7

The creactinine is the one that Dr. Kathy is a little concerned about.

Talking with Mom she told Mom to increase the fluids to 150mil...with talking to Mom she asked Dr. Kathy were is the line for that amount...will to let you know Mom was giving my only 50mil she was following the Vet Techs instructions and it wasn't right....so I will be getting 100mil now and see how I do in 4 months until Mom thinks I need to go in sooner...Mom feels bad that she was giving me the wrong amount, but she knows what the Vet Tech told her...well it is corrected now and this kitty just has to sit on the counter longer and get more fluids...

We are hoping with me getting the right amount of fluids 3 times a week my numbers will go down instead of up.

I think this calls for even more cam food after the fluids...I will insist..

But all in all I am doing good, eating good, drinking lots of water and when the weather is good Mom lets me outside in the morning on my leash for a short time...and of course I do sleep a lot but after all I am 14.

Thank you my friends for all of your comments on my diary and for all of your purrs...

Mom is calling me to come eat my dinner so I better go...

hugs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I must say it was a day to remember! I got pushed into my carrier and I must say I protected for sure...this warrior did not want to go I knew what it meant....THE VAMPIRE LADY!!!!

I must say a certain sisfur who thinks she is a princess was not good in the car....you will have to read her dairy to see what she did....I have never seen any of us act they way she did....I am not sure she should be called a princess anymore...maybe bad princess!!!!

We finally arrived at the Vet office and was soon on our way to our room...once Tu Two was out of the way Dr. Kathy weighed me I actually gained a little weight...hooray!!!!

I am doing good everything is fine, the VAMPIRE LADY took my blood and they also took a urine sample....MOL that was not fun having someone push on you to make you pee where you don't want to.

Dr. Kathy talked to Mom about my echo cardiogram and said I was actually doing good but I do have to go back in for a check up with the specialist in February....So we will have to wait til next week for the results. Hopefully I am doing good. So for right now there are no changes in me and no changes for my fluids, but it could change after Dr. Kathy calls Momcat  next week.

I was the good kitty, didn't really want to be there, but I was good, I couldn't wait to get back into my carrier so I could hide and hope they didn't see me.

Then came the bill, Momcats heart skipped a beat she was not expecting it to be almost $500 for the 2 of us....Momcat has to keep working stay to pay for our Vet bills...but Momcat said it is worth it to have a good Vet and she really likes Dr. Kathy.

Now it is time for us to head home and I must say the ride home was so much better and some princess cat was quite, but we were both so happy to be home again and we got to be left alone to take a well deserved nap in the windows enjoying the warm sun.

Thanks for all of  your purrs and well wishes we will let you know how I am doing once we get the results. Have a nice weekend!!!

OH yeah don't forget to read Tu Two's Diary!

hugs and love

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends as the oldest of the family Mom always leaves it up to me to let our friends know that we are still here....

Mom has been busy with other things lately and when she is home she is tired. Mom is making changes to her pet sitting business, she has decided that she will be cutting back some, it is getting too hard for Mom to drive all the time, she says now that is she getting older time to slow down, besides she always has too much on her plate. She had to do her taxes for her business, her estimated taxes as well, running errands for her Mom and for herself. Also car repairs and then she has to take me and Tu Two to the vet tomorrow...WHAT!!!! OH OH this is good....Mom says time for my blood work to check on my kidneys...my kidneys are just fine. Tu Two her check up this ought to be real fun to see!

Well we just wanted to thank everyone for our EASTER wishes and gifts. Also we want to wish our friends HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GOTCHA DAY for those we have missed...and know we are purring & praying for those in need....

Mom says she needs time to do all of these things like so many others catMoms have to do every once in a while...so if we are not on her much for a while you will know it isn't us it is Mom....

Well Mom says time to get off....will let you know how I am doing once we get the results of the blood work...I feel fine and doing well...

Hugs and love to you all for all of us...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK now I must tell you this I was not a happy kitty today! Mom left this morning and after a bit she was back...I love to go out on the patio on my leash when she comes home, but today noooo I did not get to go out even after protesting to Mom...I knew something was up, Mom didn't change her clothes, take off her shoes or let me out...

I was watching her and she was trying to not let me know she was going to come and pick me up...on no not again that dreaded carrier...MOL MOL MOL....not a happy kitty girl!

It didn't seem like we were in the car as long as we usually are when I see Dr. Kathy so I knew it was a different place. We walk in and sit and sit...not a happy kitty girl, I want out and I want to go home Mom let me out...soon I settled down and we waiting a little longer.

Then in to a room, pulled out of my safe carrier, now mind you I don't like that carrier, but when I am at places that they do things to me I prefer to be in that carrier.

Mom talked to the lady about me and about my CRF and heart...she weighted me, I weight between 11 & 12 lbs...Mom & I can't remember the exact numbers.

Soon a new Dr. came in his name is Dr. Joao at the UC Davis facility near our house. He also talks to Mom, he listens to my heart and another Doctor in training listen to my heart...

After listening to my heart he said it is a lub-dub lub-dub sound...but with me it is a lub-shooshing-dub, lub-shooshng-dub...

After hearing that and with no signs of me having any problems related to heart problems Dr. Joao told Mom he was thinking it is a BENIGN or INNOCENT MURMUR!

This means there is no apparent heart disease that explains the murmur, it can occur in cats of any age. The BENIGN MURMURS are usually soft (rather than loud), and can be intermittent.

So the good news is for now there is nothing required like medication...I do have to be rechecked in 6 months to make sure the murmur hasn't developed into anything serious...

Dr. Joao will send the report to my Dr. Kathy and guess we will hear from her and then they will decide if we need to change my fluids or not..

OH OH yeah, Mom got to go into the room with me, she constantly was rubbing my head and keeping me calm...they had 2 ladies holding me down on the soft warm table, we heard my heart beating and we could hear the lub-shooshing-dub sound...sure didn't like hearing that I would wiggle..but I was being super good.Mom got to see my heart and watch it beat...she says that was way kool! wish I could have seen it too, but then I don't think I would know what I was looking at.

They think I am so cute especially with my white chin...and loved my name...they were so nice and kind to me, I was scared of course aren't all kitties when they don't know what is going on...but I was the purrfect kitty....

Now I am home, got some yummy can food and I will be going to my heated bed to take a well deserved nap...

Thank you to all of my friends for purring for me today to be OK, it worked I am OK....POTP!!!!

Well gotta go take that nap!!!

the Purrfect kitty girl

She was very special to us, QT and Scout we special sweetie, Xena the Warrior her & I became friends when we first came to Catster because we were both Xena's spelled the same and we were warriors & we both are tuxedo's...and of course our Roo he is so special and sweet Ruby Jane...

We sent cards to them, they were our Secret Santa in Pen Paws group...I got a special blanket from their Mom she made it just for me and Mom she got a handmade kitty purse...now they are even more special we will cherish them always..

We know Roo's Mom went in for a knee replacement surgery this month and we are not sure what happened except what he wrote in his diary...we just can't believe our special Momcat is in heaven now...

We hope you all will go visit them and help bring a little comfort to their Dad and them..

It just shows us that one never knows what tomorrow will bring with any of us...we pray for their family that they will find comfort....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yeah Yeah I am cheering I didn't have to go today and get all stressed...no echocardiogram for me...

Xena's Mom here: The cardiologist at UC Davis called me this morning before I left the house to tell me the Doctor was sick and we would have to reschedule Xena's echocardiogram for next week. So She will have it on the 22nd instead...Just glad they called me before I left because I was going to go walk a dog, come back home get Xena and take her with me to do my other clients dogs walk and then take her as it is not far from their house...

So we will try again next week, I know Xena will is happy she didn't have to go today especially since it is windy and cold out with a possibility of rain this afternoon.

Thank you for purring for her and thinking of us today...we can try again next week.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ After a wonderpurr Valentine's day tomorrow I will be going on Wednesday the 15th to UC Davis near our house to have my echocardiogram!!!!

I am scared, but I will be the brave warrior that I am, right! I have to put on the warrior suit and be ready for anything...even the cold gel I am hearing about.

My appointment is at noon, we will let you know what the cardiologist finds...I think I am in good hands being it UC Davis.

Well tomorrow is a special day so I am not going to think about it because I want to think about figuring out just who my Secret Admirer is...oh my head is swimming I think I will go take a nap tomorrow is another day and a very special day it is..

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK my friends here goes! 

The radiologist reviewed my x ray taken when I  went to the vet last...she says my heart is on the high side of being normal...whatever that means! my heart is just fine!!!!!

So my Vet and the radiologist think it would be best if I go to a cardiologist to have an echocardiogram...too many big words for me to understand...Dr Kathy told Mom it is a non invasive procedure, well now I think it is going to be invasive what are they talking about, they are looking inside me that is invasive I say.

Because I am getting fluids for my CRF they want to make sure my heart is not being compromised in any way, they may have to change the amount or times I get my fluids...

Mom will have to call my insurance to see what to do about going to a specialist and how much if any they will pay, then she will call to make my appointment.

Mom is stressing now, she worries about me even though I am doing good and showing no signs of heart problems...she says what is next...and here we go again Xena...she worries about me stressing too when I have to go to a vets office and now to a specialist and who knows what they will be doing...

Well I gotta go I am going to a chocolate party, Mom says I have to take it easy on the chocolate and to not over do it..

We will let you know what is happening once Mom knows!!!

hugs and headbonks to you all

Xena


PS: Mom forgot to tell all of you the best news of all: there are no signs of any masses in my body, I am truly mass/cancer free....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had to go to the Vet again today not by my choice I can tell you, I did protest I did, I meowed for a short time and then I stopped Mom put soothing music on and I settled down.

My Dr. Kathy came I am trying to get back into my carrier, my safe place, but it didn't work Mom wouldn't let me back in until Dr. Kathy checked me...

I went in because Mom wanted me to be checked to make sure I have no lumps and to get an x ray to make sure there are no signs of cancer inside me...she felt me up one side and down the other, pushed on me!!!what gives that hurts!!!!!

She listened to my heart a couple of times and then told Mom I have a heart Murmur...it wasn't there the last time she checked me in October.

She told Mom about murmurs explaining that out of 6 I am a 2 which means the murmur is soft, but easily heard with her stethoscope. A what and I am 2, no I am #1 the alpha in my house, I am not a 2!!! how dare her say I am a 2...oh sorry that is a different number for something else...

She said it just may be age related but not sure! age related no not another age related breakdown, isn't CRF enough...ok body you need to not do this to me and certainly not to Mom she has enough gray hairs already she doesn't need or want anymore gray hair because of me...

My Vet told Mom that it is good she brought me in to be checked and to have x rays of my body now they will have a picture of my heart too then the radiologist can determine what is going on with my heart and if I will need to see a Vet cardiologist a what? but I may not have to we have to wait til next Friday when the Vet will call Mom with the prognoses..

So the news is good I am actually doing well, no more lumps anywhere thank goodness, but then we are not sure about my heart...I have had no signs of having issues with my heart and Dr. Kathy said this is not unusual...that is why she wants the radiologist to look at my x rays..my kidneys are a little mis- shaped but that is to be expected with me having CRF. Everything else inside me looks good...well da of course it does...

OK I have had enough of this, Mom it is time to get out of here and get me home where I am safe and love being in my warm bed...Now lets get going...oh wait Mom has to pay the bill oh no here goes some more gray hair....she says she is working to pay for kitty bills...I don't have any bills...if I did I would have go to work...not me I do work but at home taking care of the house while Mom is gone.

I also got some medicine to help me and my body feel better it is RX Vitamins Amino   B+ K


OK can we go home now I want to get out of here and get something to eat since Mom didn't feed me this morning and let me tell  you I was not happy with Mom, but I for gave her when we got home and she gave me my breakfast hours late...yummy and then I got more and even tonight I got lot more food...

So overall I am doing good, now we just have to wait to find out about my heart and if I will have to be on medication...

Oh yeah my guardian angels were there with me my QT and Buddie, they held my paw and told me I was going to be fine, that I wasn't going to have any more lumps but there was no way for me to tell Mom, she needed to see & hear for herself to believe.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello to all of my sweet friends, well guess what Mom took me and Zeke to the Vet on Tuesday. Each of us in our own carrier on the front seat. We were both stressed and scared as all of you know as us kitties just hate to go to the vet.

Zeke wasn't good he meowed and meowed all the way to the vet almost 10 miles...Mom kept talking to us and even played soothing music but it didn't work for Zeke, I was a good girl but of course I am....

The Vet tech came to get us, she took me into the back to draw blood, that vampire lady got me again....I am done Mom this is got to stop really how much blood do I have to give to that lady!

Zeke stayed in the room with Mom and Dr. Kathy came in to check on Zeke, he is so mellow and sweet, but Mom was saying look at his eyes they were all dilated because he was scared. Dr. Kathy checked Zeke, then he got the vampire lady too...blood and urine from him


We both just want to get out of here, no more Mom no more....Zeke got weighed, he's 12 lbs. 4oz. and he is doing good.

When Mom brought us home I ran into the closet for the rest of the day, then I was OK, Zeke he was stressed out for 2 days, but he is doing better now.

Dr. Kathy called Mom this afternoon with my test results I am holding my own...

bun Number stayed the same= 40 from the last time

Creatinine number went down = from 3.3 to 3.0

So I will continue to get my fluids 3 times a week for now. I go back in on the 3rd of February to be checked to make sure I have no more lumps and Mom wants them to do x ray of me so they can check inside me, for her peace of mind...she is always worrying about the lumps...she says cancer is always on her mind and she never wants to go through it again with another kitty....it scares her.

So my friends I am doing good and we are so happy...Mom gave me a special dinner tonight...yum yum

love and hugs]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH MY CAT! What me COTD today 12/5/2011 what can I say I am so honored!Mom just decided to check to see what is going on and look here!

Mom has been so busy doing her client Christmas cards, our friends cards we haven't been on here the last few days and look what happens I am chosen to be Cat of the day! I think this deserves some extra love and kisses from Mom.

Thank you my friends for helping me celebrate today! Mom will be thanking you all for my gifts you have sent to me....

Let me tell you I will have to have a word with Mom because she hasn't been doing her job and letting us on here to be with our friends....but reality checks in and human life doesn't always let us be here especially this time of the year.

I have been relaxing in my warm bed with my heating pad...it has been in the 40's at night and 60's during the day...now I know that isn't cold compared to those that get colder and even snow but for us Southern Californians that is cold....none of us want move from our warm beds....I am doing good getting my fluids, love to get extra can food and you know Mom is giving it to me because she knows the day will come when I won't want to eat and that worries her. Num Num I am the only one getting extra food.

So really I am enjoying my day in the limelight even if most of the day is almost over....Mom just told me I will get something extra special for dinner for being COTD....

Well my friends thank you again for honoring me today and thank you HQ for choosing me today...all I can say is WOW and MOL!but Mom has been busy we have been helping get our Christmas cards ready today to send out to our wonderpurr friends tomorrow...

Moewy Christmas!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you my wonderpurr and special friends for helping make my 14th birthday so very special....if it weren't for all of you it would be just another day...

Mom still can't believe I am 14! neither can I, it was just yesterday that I was a kitten running all over the house, up to the top of the cupboards, on top of the doors; not afraid of anything and just worked my way into my home even though my angle sisfurs Star and Chunk were hissing and being mean to me because I was the newcomer...but I showed them and that is how I got my name "Xena"....just like the warrior....

Now that I am 14 and considered a senior cat whatever that means besides the little aches and pains and now me having CRF I feel like a kitten still....yeah I have slowed down, but that kitten is still inside me and I am still that warrior....no one messes with me around here, they know they better not.

I am doing well and Mom is so proud of me, I  just lay on my special fuzzy on the counter and let her and Dad do the dreaded fluids...

Everyone has been so kind to me wishing me the best and hope I have a great year and you know what I will....I didn't get to be 14 just to not continue to be here with Mom...I have it from a very special angel that I will be here and I am not going anywhere....

So my friends thank you for all of my gifts and wishes you sent to me for my birthday...if me and Mom forgot to send a thank you to anyone we are sorry Mom has been so absent minded  lately I think hers is a senior moment...well I gotta go and get some rest now so I can continue to be the warrior that I am and rest this older body of mine...

hugs to you all we love you all and we are so happy you are me and my families friends....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends me and Mom need to say so sorry we haven't let you all know how I am doing. You see this is Mom's busy time of the year and with Thanksgiving just getting over she now has some time to let you all know how I am doing.

I went to the Vet on the 16th for blood work only. Needless to say I was not happy having to go and have that vet tech vampire take more of my blood...thank goodness that is over for now.

My Dr. Kathy called Mom on Friday the 18th to let her know that my numbers went up slightly so now I have to have fluids 3 times a week...so every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Mom & Dad give me my fluids 100mls...do not like those needles!

I am so good just laying on the counter on my fuzzy blanket that I love to sit on for Mom to brush me, love me and check me for lumps....

Because I am being so good Mom doesn't even hardly have to hold me there, I just sit there and when Mom tells me all done I get up walk on the counter to my plate of can food I get for being a good girl...Mom is so proud of me when I am getting my fluids. Mom and Dad are still getting used to all of this and Mom still worries cause she knows this is something bad and will only get worse, but she is keeping the faith and she is hopeful I will be OK for a long time to come...

Now here are my numbers for those that have asked Mom:

           10/8         11/16

BUN         38           40
Creatnine   8.1           8

On 6/1/11   33           
            2.7

On 9/10/11  26
            1.7

So as you can see they have gone up, Mom and Dr. Kathy had hoped the numbers would go down...Now Mom needs to find a CRF food that doesn't have a lot of by products and things that she worries about giving me. Does any one have any suggestions on food?...Mom knows I won't eat the food the vet wants Mom to buy from them...

I go back for my blood work in January...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends today was the day my Mom and Dad gave me my fluids at home. 

Sure I didn't know what was going to happen I was minding my own business eating a little can food on the counter when Mom brought in my ever so soft blanket I lay on to get brushed everyday...I sure thought maybe she was going to brush me again, but no something else was going on.

I saw this bag hanging on the cupboard with this line coming from it...now I remember I saw this the other day at the Vet...wait a minute this isn't the Vet office what is going on! Now I am worried, Mom what are you going to do, do you know what you are doing! WAIT WAIT! 

 I am really worried Dad is here too and they are talking about the line and the fluid, Mom is holding me and she has the dreaded needle....Mom MOL MOL what do you think you are doing with me....let me go....

Mom tells Dad he has to open the line and let some of the fluid out to make sure there are no bubbles, once the fluid is coming out in a straight line Mom tells Dad to close it until she gets the needle in....oh this is going to hurt Mom has never put a needle in me....she has done tinier needles for cats that are diabetic....Mom is a little worried about getting the needle in me without hurting me..

Guess What! she did it she did it!!!it didn't hurt....now Mom tells Dad watch the amount when it gets to the next line on the bag stop it....Mom realizes it isn't going in very fast, they look at the line and realize that they had used the crimp devise and it put in crimp in the line, Dad made it open up and the fluids flowed in quickly and finally I got the 100ml's of the fluid...Done yippee! Wait not done...I moved I had enough it took just a couple seconds too long, I moved and out came the needle....Mom had to hold up the needle but the fluids came out all over the counter, Dad was fast he shut the line off so no more fluids....Mom pinched my skin like she is suppose to do for a few seconds and she let me go.

I ran out to my bed thank catness it is over...now I have this big bump between my shoulders what is this? Mom changes the needle and puts everything away. Then Mom messages me and the bump goes down and into my body.

Mom give me love and tells me I am a good girl!! you bet I am sitting there and allowing her to but the needle in me and the fluids and you know I could not sit there any longer, just needed to get away! 

Guess what I got more can food because I was a good girl, I don't eat treats so I get can food...guess it won't be so bad after all as long as I get can food.

Well that was my first fluids at home and if I say so myself it went really well for me, Mom and Dad....it wasn't so bad!

Mom told me I have to have this done ever 3 days from now and she promises it will get easier for all of us...SURE HOPE SO

Mom even made a special calendar with my picture on it so she will know what days I need my fluids and she is doing a spread sheet thanks to Tigger's Mom...Mom will keep track of my fluids, medication etc...so when we go to the doctor she will have it and between the 2 of them they will be on top of my CRF.....

Now since I went through all of this I think I will just hang out in my bed, enjoy the sun and the fresh air...yes it is nice enough here today for Mom to have the window open for us to get fresh air...

Xena's Mom here, Xena did great with me doing her fluids for the first time at home. Even though we didn't realize the line had a crimp in it Xena was very relaxed and was so good...it just took seconds too long...next time I know it will be better.

HUGS
Xena and Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends yes I had to go to the Vet today, not a happy girl to say the least!Don't worry I am OK just a recheck. Mom sure surprised me this morning....thinking she was not going anywhere till she had to leave to go walk doggies I was having a nice morning laying in my heated bed watching the birdies, when all of a sudden Mom grabs me and stuff me into the carrier...MEOW MEOW MEOW! is all I can say!

Mom finally got me to the Vet and I knew as soon as we went in I was in trouble...the Vet Tech came out and guess what she used to work at the specialist where Mom took Tallulah....Mom and her talked it made Mom sad because it brought back the memories of Tallulah....

OK now the Tech her name is Kristy, took me in the back to get urine out of me...don't know what you call her she isn't the blood vampire....but she was able to get some out...

Then she brought Mom into a room and then me....Mom had to learn how to give me my Sub Q Fluids....Mom watched and asked questions.

I got to stay in my soft sided carrier while they showed Mom how to do everything. Mom isn't scared she already give clients cats their insulin shots, so she feels she can do this.

I wasn't afraid either and you know what it didn't hurt one bit, I was a good kitty. Now lets see if it goes that well when Mom has to do it with Dad and at home. We will have to let you all know!

You know what I didn't get to go straight home, I had to go with Mom to one of her clients homes so she could walk their 2 doggies....I got to go in I was hiding in my carrier as they passed by, they didn't even know I was there, MOL I was scared of strange doggies...

Mom was gone for a little while so I took a nap!

Finally I got home, Mom made sure I was OK, gave me some love then she had to leave again to go walk another doggie...this time I didn't go....thank catness I had enough of dogs, needles and being in the car.

So that was my day today, now I gotta go and take a nap again, a well deserved one I might say....the next stage of my life is starting today...just hope it will be a good one for many years to come...

hugs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends it has been several days since me and Mom wrote in my diary about my Vet visit and not feeling well...

Mom went on Tuesday to get my medication for my UTI I have to take one pill every 24 hours so I get it in the evening....Oh how I hate having Mom give me that nasty pill but I am a good girl I let her put it down my throat....Yeah! I know down the throat, but I am feeling better even if I have to go through the pill popping every day.....

While Mom was at the vet she made me an appointment for October 26th to be rechecked and the Vet Tech will teach Mom how to do the Sub Q Fluids for my kidneys....I sure hope they don't practice on me, I don't want to poked and poked....Mom is pretty sure she won't have any problems doing this since she gives 2 of her clients cats their insulin shots...

Mom isn't sure I have peed enough cause she never catches me in the litter box except when I was straining to go...I don't like humans around when I go...but she is sure I am going because I am starting to act like I did before I was sick...I am eating not as much as I did so Mom thinks the medication may have something to do with it. Today before it got real hot out I asked Mom to go out and she put me on my leash to go on the patio....

So Moms says I am on my way to feeling better now and she is so happy and so am I.

Well that is here from our house on me today is a good day for all of us to find our favorite sleeping spots and sleep too hot to do anything else...well I gotta go need to go back to sleep..

later my friends....hugs and purrs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends I have finally got Mom to give you an update on my Vet visit last Friday and what is going on with me...

Well ever since I had my surgery I get so stressed going to the vet I think Mom is going to leave me, I don't want to be there at all I try to get back in to my carrier....

Friday they had to check me to make sure there is no lump and guess what there isn't any Hooray! they took blood and urine for retesting....they want to make sure there are no signs of the nasty C...hooray there isn't any....Dr. Kathy told Mom I look really good and while she was feeling me she said all was good...

Once I was able to get out of there and we got home I went to hiding while Mom was gone for a little while....Saturday was another stressful day Mom and Dad had their carpets cleaned so I went into the closet which I love....

Sunday when Mom got up she was talking to me and I stopped by a hall door and was quivering my tail like I was spraying, Mom says Xena what are you doing, you better not be spraying....I wasn't, Mom realized I was straining, she looked on the floor and there are a few spots of urine...no no Xena you are not getting an infection....too late Mom I already have it....

Mom started me on a homeopathic remedy that does work if she catches it in time, all day I laid around and spent time in the litter box trying to go...

Today Dr. Kathy called around 2:30, she told Mom that there was some signs of infection so she has to go get me antibiotics and will have to take for 2 weeks...

Now on to my kidney issues...my BUN number went from 33 in June to 38 and my Creatinine number went from 2.7 to 2.8...

Dr. Kathy said it isn't bad but she would like for me to start getting fluids under the skin. Mom said that she would like for be to settle down first, take my antibiotics first and she agreed...so when Mom goes in tomorrow to get my medication she will make my appointment to get rechecked and for Mom to learn how to give me fluids....

Mom really doesn't want to do this yet, but looks like she doesn't have a choice so we can keep me from getting worse and hopefully keep my numbers from going up too high....now Mom isn't afraid to do the needle into my skin, she has 2 clients cats that she has to give them their insulin....

Well friends that is all from here with me...I am doing OK, I am eating, just not feeling too good right now but wait by the end of the week I will be OK...

We are praying for all the need our prayers...

hugs and love

Me and Mom are writing in my diary to help bring Ingen home to her Mom...Alex, Finney and Lacey's Mom Lisa has written in her diary and we are putting it in mine so we can spread the word around catster to see if we can get donations to help....this is from Alex's diary! PLEASE READ AND IF YOU CAN HELP EVEN IN A SMALL WAY IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED....ALEX'S ID# 1127878

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH AND PLEASE HQ DON'T GIVE US FLEAS WE ARE TRYING TO HELP ONE OF OUR FRIENDS....

Xena and Mom

Okay everyone, here's the deal. Bella's mom Cathy just spoke with Jen on the phone and she is going to pick up Ingen tomorrow at the shelter and bring her to her home until we can get her back to Jen. The cost for this is $105 just to get her out of the shelter. I've put up a chipin widget on the homepage of my website to donate to help reimburse Cathy for this cost, cost of any food, and also in helping get Ingen home (we're still figuring out the details on that one). Please go to www.ibdkitties.net and click on the widget to donate anything you want for this. PLEASE SPECIFY that it's for Ingen when you donate so I know that's what it's for as I also have a donations button on my site for IBD Kitties that goes to my paypal account, the same account. Let me know if you have any problems. 

Thanks everybody
Luv Alex and mom Lisa
And special thanks again to Cathy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Friends,

We have noticed that many are leaving catster, it saddens us because this is the place we can come to get love and support, yes you all know we have had a lot of support because of our Tallulah, but it is more...

Some are saying they are leaving because catster has changed, yes it has but we can make it through the changes and be here for our friends...if we all leave because of some changes that we feel are not the best then catster will be no more...

It saddens us to see this, we know times are tuff it is for most of us, Mom feels this is one place she can come and forget her troubles, her sorrows and find friends, friends who feel the same way and know how she is feeling...sometimes we can't always be here to have fun and be here for our friends, but we do come often to check on our friends...

We have some very special friends and we cherish them! So those of you that are thinking of leaving cause of the changes or there isn't much activity on here, think hard before you leave because for everyone that leaves there is one less here to make it better and soon there will be none...

We hope you all will stay, change your mind or just maybe take a little break if you need and come back...

Our family is so grateful for having found catster, for all of our special and wonderful friends we have made here...we pray for you all!

So here is a poem we found for all of you!

Special Friend Poems
"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, 
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will 
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
                from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.
    --Unknown

Purrs, Love, Hugs and Agel kisses from all of us to all of you!

QT, Tu Two, Xena, Zeke and Mom Peggy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK California & Arizona friends where were you yesterday 9/8/2011 when the lights went out! That's right at 3:30pm yesterday Mom & all of us were resting and all of a sudden power went out...oh no, now what! we waited and waited for the power to come back on, but it didn't..it was so hot and humid in our house, no air, no fans, no lights...but of course us cats have no problems with that we see everything....

Mom and Dad were listening to the battery operated radio to see what was going on and low & behold all of Southern California from Orange county to Baja, some of Mexico and even Yuma Arizona went dark...MOL

What a mess with everyone trying to get home, luckily Mom and Dad both were home so they didn't have to be out in the major traffic jam and traffic jam it was....people were trying to get home for hours, some ran out of gas and were stuck on the roads...it was a mess....this morning gas stations cars were lined up to get gas, something Mom hasn't seen since the 70's

Now this all happened because one person did something wrong in Arizona and it caused a ripple affect...we know this isn't as bad as hurricanes, floods and fires, but it sure was bad enough and my pawrents were saying how easy it would be for a terrorist to do this to the hole country and how powerless we all would be...not a good feeling....

It was so hard for Mom and Dad to sleep...back windows were open but no relief at all till finally after 10 hours the electricity came back on...

About 1.4 million were affected by this, thousands of $$$ lost because all businesses were closed and loss of food having to be thrown out...no flights leaving cause they couldn't check people...most businesses are open, schools & collages are not open, some traffic lights work and others don't so Mom had to be careful when she was out today....but most is back to normal!

It was a weird feeling, some people were partying out in the streets, dogs barking and total darkness...but none of us cats were affected by it, except we wanted our food....

So now we wonder do you think their will be a big baby & kitty boom cause the lights went out in Southern California...we hope not!

We were home when the lights went out...thank goodness!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When you have something particularly challenging to deal with, try to remind yourself...

You've got this moment...
You can choose to be happy or unhappy. You can choose what you think, what you say, and how you feel. You can choose to be hopeful.

You've got this day...
No matter what the weather is like, you can choose what kind of day it will be. You can choose your attitude about what you're facing...

You've got your life...
You can talk to yourself about what you need to do to honor your life, but if you don't turn those thoughts into actions,you're just playing games and giving in to whatever comes to mind.

You've got the power to make choices...
when you use this awesome gift in your best advantage, there is nothing you can't do.

Donna Fargo

This is my inspiration for the today....let's spread good around!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ HONORING OUR ANGEL TALLULAH 

One way for Mom to honor and remember our TALLULAH this month she asked a special sweet friends Mom to make a background for all of us to honor TALLULAH FOR HER FIRST ANNIVERSARY BEING AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE! No matter had hard it is Mom wants to honor Tallulah.
Yes even Zeke and our doggie Milo has the same background and of course it is pink! And they say so what boys look good in pink too…
This whole month we honoring you Tallulah for your fight and bravery, you fought so hard for 13 months and you never once gave up not even in the end….
We honor you for being the best mascot for the breast cancer three day walk last year in San Francisco, you guided and helped Chai  Latte’s Mom …what a good girl for showing her the beautiful butterfly while she was walking on her 3rd day….you will be their mascot again this year, we are so proud of you and the kitty Moms for walking and spreading the word about kitty breast cancer
We honor you for just being you, the sweet cute beautiful  kitty our precious gift from God. 
We honor you for watching over Xena when she had her surgery and made sure the lump was benign, if it weren’t for you teaching Mom that she needs to check us all the time for lumps she may have not found the lump when she did….you saved Xena and for that we honor you always…..
We honor you for helping others and we hope that one day there will be no girl kitties getting breast cancer. 
We honor you for helping Mom spread the word about cancer, yes we want others to know that kitties get cancer not just breast cancer and we have made sure Moms know how important it is to check us kitties for lumps and get us to the vet ASAP it could save their lives.
We hope all of our friends will take a moment and remember our Tallulah how hard she fought and wanted to live, but God had other plans for her to help others in the fight to spread the word about breast cancer…she did not die in vain….she has saved lives!

TALLULAH OUR BEAUTIFUL GUARDIAN ANGEL WE HONOR YOU AND REMEMBER YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY! YOUR LOVE IS ALWAYS WITH US AND WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU….WE SEE THE BUTTERFLIES YOU SEND TO US.
LOVE TO YOU TALLULAH
MOM,XENA, TU TWO, ZEKE, MIA, MILO AND KANDI]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Look we all have our pages decorated with butterflies and we are all honoring our ANGEL SISFUR TALLULAH! This month on the 22nd it would have been her 12th birthday Mom decided that we will all have different butterflies on our pages…
Next month will be a hard and sad month for us, it will be Tallulah’s first anniversary going to the rainbow bridge and we will continue to honor her with more butterflies…Tallulah is all about her butterfly garden in heaven and she let Mom know she was Ok with a beautiful white butterfly…how else can we honor her but with butterflies…
And
Reminding all of our friends that you still need to have your Mom check you for any lumps, you just never know, we found that out! Never assume it is nothing, we didn’t and it saved Xena….

Remember Tallulah’s kitty breast cancer awareness is all year around every year…to many kitties are getting breast cancer and other cancers and we need to make sure our pawrents check us….
So help us honor our Tallulah on the 22nd of this month by decorating your page with butterflies or having a graphic of a butterfly on your page….we hope you will do this!

Tallulah is sending all butterflies from heaven!
Love, hugs and angel kitty kisses

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello to all of my friends Mom says we are back from our break or lets say we are trying! It has helped Mom feel better, but time will only tell if she can be here without feeling so sad, have her heart ache. Mom knows that she is not the only one that has a hard time after losing one of her babies, but she also has realized that she will never heal completely and their will always be a ache in her heart for our Tallulah! but we are here today and hopefully for many more!

Now up date on me, I am finally healed, my fur is growing back in slowly and to my unhappiness she is checking me all the time...

The fur above my eyes is slowly coming back in too so guess I am not stressed anymore, guess what I am relaxed, back in my special spot at the window in my bed, eating like I should plus more and even asking Mom to let me out in the mornings on my leash. When she is home and doesn't have to leave I am out there for a couple of hours until the sun comes out and it gets hot & muggy....

We thank all of our friends for all of the messages, gifts, your love and support....

Now to our surprise today when we read a pawmail from Big Harry and Pigeon we found out I am Cat of the Week in our group KCK....I am so honored and sure hope I live up to that honor...not sure what I need to do but guess we will find out and just have lots of fun...AFTER ALL GIRLS WANNA HAVE FUN! and that is what I want....fun!!!now that I am feeling better

We are send you our love and lots of hugs, we thank you for being our friends too!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends Mom told me to tell all of our friends she is sorry we have been MIA lately....she still needs more time to heal and of course she told me she has been so busy, but we are all fine.

I am doing better now, I am not hiding like I was, but my fur above my eyes especially my left side isn't growing back in yet and Mom is still a little worried cause she thinks it has more fur missing, but she is checking everyday. My incision is finally looking like it is all healed I now have some peach fuzz fur growing back in...soon you won't even know I had surgery.

I am hanging out in the bay window in my new bed finally, but still not spending time at night in Moms bed like I was, Mom is hoping I will come back in her bed, she says maybe it is too warm now for night hugs and sleeping next to her...

We just wanted to let you all know we are still here, just taking some down time for now will check in...Mom is doing better and so am I.

We think of all of you, we pray for all and know we all miss you, but Mom still needs time....hugs to you all

Tully I miss you my sweetheart, know that I dream of you.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends I finally got my stitches taken out on Tuesday. I am all healed now, but now I have peach fuzz on my belly...I just want to know when will my pretty long fur grow back in...

Dr. Kathy told Mom I look good and I am doing good too....the specialists doesn't feel there is any need for further treatment...hooray!!! but Mom needs to check my lymph node on the inside of my back left leg, she showed Mom how to check me...MOL they had me on my side and feeling me all over..I was not happy.

Then Mom questions her about the changes of this coming back and she said that it could come back that is why she has to keep checking me, but more than likely the my prognoses is good....

Mom also wanted to know why the fur above my eyes is very thin and I am getting bald now...Dr. Kathy said that it could be from me being stressed, reaction to something she isn't sure, so she told Mom to watch and see if it gets worse, if it does she has to take me back to see Dr. Kathy and she will take a scrapping of my skin and see what is going on....what is next Mom and I ask!!!

Well next is since Mom took me to the Vet I have been hiding under Moms Grandmas hutch all day, she has to get me out for dinner, in the morning I eat and then ask to go outside, stay out till Mom has to leave, she lets me in and  then I go right back under the hutch....I am not hanging out in my bed at the front window like I normally do, and I am not sleeping in Moms room either...If it continues Mom is going to call Dr. Kathy...this is not normal for me, yes I like hanging out by myself, but hiding is not like me.

Mom thinks there is something going on with my skin and she needs to get me on medication, so maybe she will have to take me back in next week....MOL

Thank you all of my friends for all of the comments, gifts and encouraging words these last few weeks, Mom hasn't felt like being on the computer much and we are behind so we apologize to you all...she hopes she will get to them now...if we miss anyone know that we love you all, thank you for your support and love....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends

I am doing better and better everyday, tomorrow I go to the Vet to see Dr. Kathy to get my stitches out and hopefully Mom will find out it there is anything else she needs to know about my benign tumor...cause Dr. Kathy sent the report to the onocologist and hopefully it will not be anything bad....Mom is always checking me and loving me...

Today Mom let me go outside the first time since I had my surgery and she even took off the collar. Oh I so enjoyed getting out, the air felt so good and the grass tasted so good...but Mom caught me licking my incision so in I had to go and get my collar back on...tomorrow it will be off I can't wait.

We are sorry we haven't been here, Mom was very busy and when she was home didn't even get on the computer for 3 days....bad Mom you see we missed my being DOTD again....

Thank you all for your messages and gifts...we are shocked that I was DDP again and we missed it....bad Mom...but Mom told me she needed the time to rest and relax, it has been so very stressful for her the last several weeks...Now she is only walking 2 clients dogs this week.

I am blessed to have my wonderpurr Mom, family and my wonderpurr friends here on catster....THANK YOU AGAIN!

Feeling better

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL friends....this has been a hard and hectic week for me and Mom....the best thing is my news of my tumor being benign....we are still in shock and so happy we finally got some good news...

On top of Mommy worrying about me she has been having to take her Mom who has dementia to her doctors appointment, go get medication, take to her board and care home for her Mom....making her Mom more doctor appointments...in between taking care of others she is taking care of kitties and walking 3 doggies for their mid day walks.....

Now today she comes home thinking she will be able to rest this afternoon with me before she has to go out to check on one of the kitties and give him his dinner...she walks into the garage and hears watering dripping....you guessed it the water heater is leaking all over the garage....now we are getting a new tankless water heater so we never have to go through having water all over the garage again...it is a mess....

Now for me....I am feeling so much better, still taking my medication, still no poop, but I am eating and I am being so good....Mom let me out of the room and you know what I ran right back into the bathroom...I don't want to be out yet....do you blame me when there are strange men in the garage making noise...what does a girl gotta do around here to get some peace and quite...not happening today....but honestly I am feeling so much better today...

Mom will get to all of my gifts this weekend & send thanks you, today too much going on and she needs to rest....me too for that matter...

We send you all our love and a BIG HUGE THANK YOU!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are on cloud nine at our house tonight, you want to know why!!!

MY TUMOR IS BENIGN!!!

My angel sisfur and Mom saved my life, if Mom hadn't found my lump when she did it would have been a different story tonight...so it just shows that checking all of us for lumps does save lives....thank you Tallulah you did not die in vain, you saved me...little did we know when she started her mission to save other kitties by spreading the word about kitty breast cancer that it would be me her older sisfur that she saved...you are a special Angel Tallulah....we love you!

This is some of the report: Mammary Papillary Cystadenoma with moderate Atypia...I know a lot of hard words...but that is what the tumor was....close to being mammary cancer! the pathologist said; it is a precancerous neoplasm thus this animal is at an increased risk for development of de novo and invasive mammary neoplasia.

The prognosis is favorable....we have to be alert for any possibility of nodal metastasis, such as regional lymph node enlargement and/or firmness.

Hooray! I will be OK, no further treatment as of now, my Dr. Kathy said she will send the report to the onocologest to review...

When Mom hung up the phone after talking to Dr. Kathy she cried from happiness knowing that I am OK and now she can relax with me in her lap....

KNOWING ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ME AND MY XENA HAS HELPED IN SO MANY WAYS....I CAN'T EVEN PUT IT INTO WORDS HOW I AM FEELING AND HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE FOR ME AND MY BABIES...IT IS AWESOME, OVERWHELMING FEELING...MAY ALL OF OUR ANGELS WATCH OVER EACH AND EVERYONE OF US AND OUR FURBABIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE SICK! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

LOVE TO ALL

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my special wonderful friends I am feeling better, now mind you I am still very sore but I feel better....I am finally eating my can food, can't eat dry because of loosing 2 more of my teeth...soon I won't have any left in my mouth, but now the ones I have left are pearly white.....my food takes so good after not eating on Monday and a little yesterday.

I want Mom to give me lots of pets, loves and skritches...now I just have to work on getting out of this bathroom...Mom says once she knows I am a little better and I poop she will let me out for a little while.

I got to be out last night with Mom in her room, she put me in one of our kitty beds at the window, I looked out at the night and soon I was sleeping...then when Mom wanted to go to bed I had to go back in to the lonely bathroom for the night, but I was not alone my angels were there.

Mom kept checking on me so she hasn't been getting much sleep, but we both are hanging in there, taking one day at a time and we continue to pray for the best results of the tests....

We are thankful for all of you for helping me and Mom get through yet another " C" scare....Mom says she can't even type or say the word anymore...as all of you know there are no words to express how we feel when we read all of the messages, she the special pictures and diary entries....there is only thank yous for being here and helping support my Mom...We know we are not alone and that we are not the only ones having to deal with us ill kitties, but this is the best place to be when one needs support and help...

Mom has been reading all of the messages and diaries, but she just can't at this time answer them all...so much on my Moms plate right now....

WE SEND YOU ALL  OUR LOVE, MANY MANY THANKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEATS...

Oh Mom has taken some pictures and she will get them on my page soon...

Feeling better, I am the warrior Princess and I won't let this get me down....I expect to be here for a long time with my Mom and all of my friends here on earth and all our angels friends...

I felt you all holding my paw, I saw you surrounding me with your angels wings, so many pretty colors....and you all were praying not only for me & Mom but for my Dr. Kathy too...my special sisfur angel has been with me and hasn't left my side, she whispers special words in my ear, but told me I can't tell Mom yet..

Mom says she is so glad after what she went through with Tallulah and how much money she had to pay she decided that she was getting us on pet insurance, she knows that it will help lots....

Thank you all for loving me!!!  MOM THANKS FOR BEING THE BESTEST MOM I COULD HAVE....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Xena's Mom here, sorry for the delay on reporting to all of our friends, I have a lot on my plate these last few days with Xena and my Mom....

As all of you know it was very hard for me to take Xena to her Vet and leave her...I have to praise my Vet and the Techs they are super, they know how hard this is for me having to go through the cancer scare again so soon and how hard losing Tallulah has been on me...they were so understanding and caring.

When I got there I just wanted to run right out that door and somehow find a way to have all of this just go away and wake up it was a horrible dream...but it wasn't and somehow I managed to let her go with her Vet Tech....she explained everything to me, reassured me it was going to be OK...

When she came out to talk to me and get Xena I was holding Xena, telling her how much I love her and that all of her catster friends were with her, even our wonderful angels...I made copies of all of your messages, pictures, put them in a page protector and then taped them to her carrier....showed the tech and she was so impressed by all of the love and prayers...they all read them and couldn't believe how much love and support you all were giving to Xena and me.

So I left her with my heart breaking and when I got to my care I sat there, cried and prayed to let my baby be Ok and that the cancer be the skin cancer.

It was hard to concentrate all day, but glad I had dog walks to do and a kitty to take care of, it helped me!

NOW FOR XENA!!!

She made it through the surgery, the tumor was about 2-2 1/2 cm and the incision is about 10 cm...she is of course very sore and not very happy...while under her vet took x rays of her mouth and had to remove 2 of her teeth, then cleaned the few she has left...so she has a sore mouth too...

When they called and told me I could pick her up between 3 and 4 and how she was doing i was so happy and relieved. 

Got her home after 4:30 and she is not happy about having to be in the bathroom, she wants out...she did get out when I first put her in the bathroom, she ran all over and even jumped up on furniture trying to get away from having to go in the bathroom...she is resting now, she finally ate some chicken baby food this morning and again when I got home this afternoon...she fights me when I have to give her the pain medication, but she is taking it...hopefully she will be out of the bathroom in a few days depends on how she is feeling, but because she is a jumper she may have to stay longer...I was too tired to get on the computer yesterday after the day we both had

Won't know the results on the test from the pathologist until later this week or first of next week...

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS, LOVE & SUPPORT ONCE AGAIN...I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT ALL OF YOU....once I hear about the results I will let you know!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends 

I don't know what all of this fuss is all about...

Mom keeps crying and praying for me...she told me my angel sisfur QT is with us right now watching over me, she told me and Mom she will be with me tomorrow holding my paw and wrapping her wings around me...all of our catster angel friends will be with me too, kitties and their Moms are praying for me...now I asked Mom why all the fuse!...

She told me I have to go to the Vet to see Dr. Kathy again and she will be helping by removing my lump....I asked should I be afraid....Mom says we are all afraid, but we know you are in good hands, QT will be with me and my angels...so I am OK..

Mom decided to give me a bath today so I will look pretty tomorrow and smell good too....I think it was just to give her something to do..

yesterday she came home with a new red bed for me and a blanket, she gave it to me but she said it was for when I come home tomorrow cause I have to be kept in the bathroom for a little while til I am a little better, better from what? I have to stay in the bathroom,WHAT why? just so much going on and all I want to do is sleep in my bed at the window enjoy the sun, then sleep with Mom at night....now she tells me I have to eat a big dinner, get a snack before she goes to bed because I can't eat tomorrow morning, what gives no food tomorrow?

Well my friends, Mom and I thank you for your love, support, prayers, candle lighting for me and her...this is my last entry till I am feeling better...Mom will let you all know how it went and how I am doing....of course we all will have to wait for the results, Mom says this will be a long wait...we pray that it will be a BASAL tumor!!!

We love you all and this is the best place to be!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Xena's Mom here...well my intention was to be off of Catster to take a break and try to heal....little did I know that things in my house would change...

On Memorial Day I was working out in my yard, I had Xena out with me on her leash..when I brought her in I had to brush her off, while brushing her off I felt a lump,as you all know my heart skipped a beat and the horrible feeling came back again (CANCER)..I started crying and asked again why why is this happening again...I can't go through this again.

The lump is on her left side right by her last nipple....of course with it being a holiday I had to wait to call on Tuesday...they couldn't fit her in but was able to get her in on Wednesday...I was very emotional and when I got into the room I couldn't hold it in and I cried when Dr. Kathy came in...

The lump felt different from Tallulah's but not being a doctor I don't know what it is...she had a little discharge come out of her nipple...They took some fluid from the lump and sent it out, they also did blood and urine work....

Dr. Kathy called me this morning with the results of her blood and urine work....her kidneys are starting to show signs of having problems, so she will have to be on a special diet or fluids. I am going to try the food and I am also looking into homemade food for her...

Then Dr. Kathy called me a short time ago to tell me that she does have a tumor and they are pretty sure it is a BASAL TUMOR (skin cancer), but they can't rule out mammary cancer because of the location of the tumor...

She will have surgery on Monday late morning/ early afternoon to remove the tumor, while under they will check her teeth and remove any of the few she has left if they need to be...they will send out the tumor tissue to a pathologist and then we will have to wait for the final result later in the week.

I can't believe this is happening again and as all of you know I am so emotional right now...I did want all of you to know what has happened since I haven't been here this past week...I pray that it will be the Basal because the prognoses is good...

I am still praying for all the kitties that need prayers and now I ask that you pray for my Xena...you don't need to give gifts just need lots of prayers...

I will let you all know how she is doing after her surgery it may be Tuesday before I am able to get on the computer...

Thank you all for your love, support and understanding..

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello friends,
Mom has decided that she needs a break from catster, not that we want her too, but she needs to so she isn’t always so sad & crying.….all she does now is cry when she visits , she wants to be here for all of our friends  to support & love them, but it is just so hard on her, she isn’t healing like she should be healing….some days she feels like she is losing Tallulah all over again and it is getting too hard for her to feel better…

We won’t be gone that long maybe a few days, maybe a week…she just needs a break….we hope we don’t miss any of our friends special days, know that we are thinking of all of you, but Mom told us she needs to do this for herself…it will be hard not to get on, but it is time. Now we will get all of her attention! MOL we will get to play and spend time outside!
After this message we won’t be on! Know that we are all purring and praying for all in need…

Love and hugs
Xena, Tu Two, Zeke and Kandi]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ January 27th me and my family will be on Catster for 2 years. We don't know where the time went, but we know that Catster has been a blessing to our family.

Mom put all of us on Catster and then asked herself why did I do that, I am not into all of these reality sites and roll playing...but then she realized why in July of 2009 why she was guided to be on here with us...

Our Tallulah....Mom needed to have her here to help Mom and our Angel while she fought cancer and she fought for 13 months...most important is the Love and Support all of our friends gave Tallulah and Mom. It still amazes Mom that Moms we have never met have given so much to Tallulah and Mom...we are so blessed to have you all as our friends & in our lives.

and

Now you are helping Mom spread the word about Kitty breast cancer, our Tallulah is all over the world. No where else could this happen, Mom is still in shock at how much Tallulah touched others and how much she was loved. it makes Moms heart happy and bring tears to her eyes.

Each of us have sweethearts and wonderful special friends, rxcept mean Kandi and Princess Tu Two, she is too little right now, know we all love you and we are here for you as you have been here for all of us.

Mom is still learning how to do things on Catster, some of our friends have sent information on how to do things Mom wants to learn, know that Mom still has the information and hopefully as it gets easier for all of us to be here she will try to learn; that is Moms goal for this year....hope she will be able to reach her goal.

No matter what happens on catster Mom knows that there will always be those that will be here to give one another love and support, that is what Catster is all about.

We have had lots of fun on Catster too, not just that sadness, but at times the sadness is too much to bare for Mom, but she always returns because she knows that other kitty Moms will be here to help and support Mom as we will support and love others too...to Mom Catster has been healing for her. Friends outside of Catster don't always understand how Mom feels and why she is so sad, but she knows that Catster Moms do understand as a lot of you have gone through the same thing losing your beloved kitties...

Now as we start our 3rd year we hope to be able to support and love friends as you all have done for us this past year, learn more and just have some fun.

THANK YOU CATSTER FOR BEING HERE, OUR FRIENDS FOR BEING HERE, YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. 

As we begin another year we hope it will be a happier!

Snuggles and hugs to our friends!

Xena, Mom and family]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Resting with Mom this weekend sure made a difference, I am feeling so much better.

I know I worried my Mom, she worries so especially when out of the blue I was sick and we still have no idea why I got sick...infection what kind of infection. Mom called the Vet but she is off today so hoping she will call Mom tomorrow afternoon when Mom is home to talk about me...talk about me why Mom what can you possibly talk about, I am fine now. Oh oh I think I know she wants the Vet to get some blood and urine to make sure there is nothing going on with me...not good when they talk about taking my blood and urine...but I guess I will be OK with it if Mom will feel better to know I am OK, just loves me so.

I just slept this weekend in my heated bed, I ate my can food and Mom kept giving me Immuno.

This morning I finally got up on the couch to get brushed with my zoom groom and it felt so good. Once done I got lots of love from Mom, she took me to my bed at the bay window and told me to be a good girl while she was gone, to watch the house, take care of my sisfur and brofur...

Oh and yeah Moms hand is feeling better but she still is resting her hand and wraps it when she has to do work.

Thank you all again for your comments of well wishes for me and Mom. I love my friends you all are the best...and so does Mom.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you my friends for your prayers, POTP, heart from my sweet heart Tully! they all worked, I am feeling better today, but Mom is still watching over me.

Biggest Surprise is I got on Moms bed last night and slept with her for a while, she was surprised and happy. Then when she came to fed me this morning I got out of my bed and got my can food.
Mom tried getting me to come to the couch like I do when I want to be brushed, I got out of my warm bed and sat on the bay window, but didn't go to the couch, Mom came to me. I got brushed a little really didn't want to be bothered today. So Mom gave me loves and told me it is OK just go back to bed and sleep to get well completely.

Mom left to walk the dogs she has to walk during the week so I slept. When she came home I got up went into the dining room, I wanted to go to Moms room and go into her closet, but Mom said no Xena you can't I need to check on you and I have to give you your immuno soon, I got into a chair instead. I am now back in my bed and feeling better...looks like I am on my way to getting better. We still don't know how or why I got an infection and my fever and that does concern Mom.

I do have to go back in soon for another urine test and Mom thinks she will ask them to do blood work again to make sure there is nothing going on with me...

Thank you friends for being here for me and Mom! we love you all!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Xena's Mom here, she looks better this morning, but still isn't herself. She ate her breakfast, but hasn't left her heated bed. I asked her if she wanted to be brushed but she just looked at me. I started brushing her and she seemed to enjoy it again, she also was rubbing her chin on an old brush she loves to rub on while I brush her, that is better than yesterday.

I haven't seen her get up to use the potty box or drink water, not that she hasn't used it during the night or when I haven't been right there with her.

I checked on her all night long I was so worried about her, I know that the antibiotics need time to work so I will not panic yet. I just gave her a natural immuno liquid to help boost her immune system and gave her more water by syringe. 

I will be leaving soon so she will sleep while I am gone; when I get home I will get her up and make sure she walks around a little & she isn't limping but walking normal.

We want to thank  our friends for your well wishes for our Xena, we know she will be better soon, it is just hard as all of you know to see our fur babies not feeling well.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Mommy's year did not end well, she was walking a clients dog she was taking care of on the 30th and he walked right in front of her because he wanted to  pee on a bush...well you will never guess what happened next!

MOMMY FELL, yeah that is right that stupid dog made Mommy fall, she landed on her knees and kept going she put her hand out to roll but she hurt her hand, she hit the side of her face on the sidewalk and her glasses fell off..all the while she is still holding on to the doggies leashes...
Mommy knew immediately that it was bad for her hand, it swelled up immediately,  she picked herself up and went back to the doggies house, she immediately left to go home to see how bad she hurt herself...Dad said it looked like it is a sprained hand, the swelling has gone down but her hand still hurts, so Mom is thinking she needs to go to the doctor to make sure it is or isn't broken. Her knees are just scrapped, she is sore, but she will be OK...just not on the computer much because it hurts her hand to type, I would help her but my paws are not made for typing...

Mom also needed some down time after the holidays, she hasn't had any days off since before Thanksgiving,

Now for me..I will let Mom tell you!

Xena hasn't been feeling well since the weekend, she was hiding in my closet, she usually comes out when I tell her it is time to eat, she wasn't coming out. We thought maybe she got scared of Kandi because Kandi isn't always nice. Then yesterday I felt she was not herself there was something not right.

Well this morning she was worse, I had to work to get  her to eat, she loves her can food so this was a sign, then she always waits for me on the couch to brush her, she loves her zoom groom. She was in her bed and didn't move I got her and put her down, she was walking with a little limp. Now I thought oh no she has hurt her leg from jumping.

So I called her Vet, they had no openings but I could take her in leave her and when her Vet had time she would check her. I was so concerned and upset that here we go again, I just can't deal with another kitty being sick so soon after Tallulah. I had to leave her and it broke my heart, I was so worried about her not knowing what is going on...I cried driving home and prayed a lot, asked my angel Tallulah to watch over her big sisfur....

Her Vet finally called, she told me it is good I brought Xena in she is running a fever of 105, but she checks out fine, no signs of anything that would cause her fever, so she said fevers indicate an infection, she is fighting the infection. She was given Sub Q fluids and injection of antibiotics. 

She is home now finally, she isn't moving around too much, sleeping mostly, she did eat her can food tonight. I have to keep watch to make sure she doesn't get worse or doesn't improve I will have to take her back in...guess who isn't going to get much sleep tonight.

Her Vet said that if she isn't better in a couple days they will run test on her to make sure they are not missing anything. They will do blood work and take some urine and do x rays...I am praying so hard she will be better and not have to go back...I know my angel Tallulah is watching over her and taking care of her.

I will let you know how she is doing but please in the meantime please pray for my Xena,  I won't be on as much until my hand isn't hurting like it is now...typing with one hand just doesn't work for me...until I have news, we wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

LOVE AND HUGS FROM ALL OF US

Xena, Mom Peggy and family]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As I am the oldest kitty in our house Mom has asked me to write in my diary today to wish all of our friends here on Catster a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

It is the season of love and friendship, of giving! all of you this past year gave my family so much love and support while our Angel Tallulah was sick and when she went to the bridge.

Some of you are still giving by helping Mom spread the word about kitty breast cancer, we thank you so much for helping us and those that are helping Mom heal.

As we all celebrate this day think of those that are sick, those that are no longer with us and say a little prayer for our furry friends and their families...our wish is for our friends to be well again and for their families to heal and be OK to not be so sad, we wish for all to be healed and be happy again. Help us remember those that are no longer with us like our Tallulah...honor those that are gone in some way!


Remember tis the season to give!!!so give a little of yourself by helping others even if just stopping by and wishing them a Merry Christmas....God bless you all, stay safe as most of the US is having bad weather, stay warm....

WE LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP!!!!

Xena, Mom, Tu Two, Zeke, Angel Tallulah and Kandi]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL Mom got my test results from my yearly exam...

Well most of it is good news for a cat that is getting older...the blood work shows that all is good all of my organs are working and no problems...

Now my urine test result is different....

My urine is a little diluted but not much so Dr. Kathy said that she wants me to come back in around 6 months from now to retest. She told Mom not to panic, panic i think I will panic I have to go back in so soon...after all what cat like to go to the Vet I don't know of any.

She told Mom too that it may not mean anything because my Kidney function is great, but with me being older she wants to make sure it isn't the start of kidney problems, she wants to be on top of this...

Overall I am healthy just need to be recheck to make sure nothing changes...

Mom is praying for good news she just isn't ready to have to deal with another illness...and I am too, I said a little prayer to my sisfur Tallulah to watch over me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First I want to say this for all of our friends....we are here to stay, no matter what is going on here....this is a wonderful place for us kitties, we will continue our catster plus Mom loves putting wonderful things on our pages and decorating them, she is still trying to learn how to do things, she is a little slow about computer stuff, but I think she has don't great...we happy to say we are moving on to this new catster and hopefully it will be a happy wonderful place again. 

We are here or should I say our Mom because it is a place for her to come to and forget what is going on outside, to not be stressed but to have fun...

This past year has been a difficult year for us especially Mom  she found comfort, love and support, that is the bottom line and what catster is all about...not being upset with HQ

Yeah not all like the changes or the ads, but let's face it no one does, but eventually we get used to them and move on, there will be some that just can't and that is fine, we understand them being upset and moving on...we hope one day those that have left will return because we do miss them and love them...

Mom has realized that we need all of our catster friends you know why? 

cause our friends understand how she is feeling, what she is going through and have been so supportive of us....others not on catster don't understand how Mom is feeling and with your love she feels a little better, she knows she can come here and she is not alone...

THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING SOME HAVE FORGOTTEN...LOVE AND SUPPORT......

MOM HEARD SOMETHING TODAY AND IT PUT A SMILE ON HER FACE AND SHE SAYS YOU KNOW XENA THAT IS SO TRUE


GRIEF IS THE PRICE OF LOVE AND IT IS SO WORTH IT....

Mom is still grieving for our Tallulah, but it is worth it because of the love she gave to all of us for 10 1/2 years and we  her love always and she will be in our hearts forever.

Just as we love all of you, we have made wonderful friends and you all will be in our Moms heart...

Blessing to you all, lets remember those that have left, those that are sick and those that will not be with us much longer, they need us now, let' support them, be here for them and not worry about things we can not change....LIFE IS TOO SHORT....

hugs and love

Xena, Mom and family]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL Friday I had to go with Mom just like Zeke on Monday to visit one of her clients Cats...I was very quite, didn't want her to know I was in her house...so I was hiding inside my soft carrier in the corner. She never knew I was there...lucky me.

I got to see Dr. Kathy like Zeke, she is so nice, but I was trying to hide my face in Mom's arms. I weigh 12lbs. 8 oz., the vampires took some of my blood and then they took some urine...now we have to wait for the results, Dr. Kathy will call Mom next week...she said I felt and looked healthy we just have to keep our fingers crossed that my blood and urine tests come back great...Zeke's came back & they are all great so he is healthy except for his respiratory infection and him having asthma

When Mom drove me home while in the car she opened my carrier a little so I could look out I was having fun watching everything go by and when Mom pulled into our garage I knew I was finally home.

Mom opened the carrier and the first thing I saw was Kandi, she was out and I ran into the family room to hide from her...I am not too sure about her, sometimes she charges at us and hisses...me and Zeke don't know what to think or do when Kandi acts that way we are not fighters...

Now I am OK hanging out in my bed with the heating pad and looking out the window, waiting for when Mom will come brush me and check me for any lumps, she worries now that me or Zeke will get sick...

Well I gotta go...it is time to take a nap so I can be up and have the run of the house once everyone goes to bed, Kandi is locked her the room and the doggies are locked in their crates..that is a fun time for me...nite my friends.

WE ALL WATCHED HER FIGHT THE CANCER AND WE TRIED TO HELP HER AND MOM, BUT MOM TOLD US ONE DAY TALLULAH WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO  FIGHT ANYMORE..WE KNEW THAT DAY CAME, WE FELT IT AND WE SAW OUR POOR TALLULAH FAIL & SLIP AWAY...WE TRIED TO HELP MOM BUT IT WAS HARD ON  HER SHE NEEDED TO BE ALONE THAT DAY WITH OUR TALLULAH...WE UNDERSTOOD WE DID...

Mom won't be on all the time she still needs time...she knows tomorrow will be another hard day she will be alone and will go to Tallulah grave and cry when she is alone...it is hard to watch Mom be so sad...I think I will go out there too and not let Mom be so sad, I will rub on her and meow asking her to pet me and scratch me...

I SEE TALLULAH BUT MOM CAN'T

Well I started out looking for birdies, when the birdies heard the doggie next door they flew away...bad dog no barking I wanted to watch the birdies....

I saw the buggies that QT saw too...oh boy look Mom buggies oh and there goes a lizard...no I don't want a lizard they are too fast....

On to the flowerbed, yah Mom I agree with QT you need to do some weeding...but then again if you do the weeding I will have no place to hide...

Look Mom I am hiding in the bushes, can you see me, I am suppose to be hiding and you are not suppose to see me so I can pounce on you if you get close....On come on Mom I want to play the brave warrior and capture you.....

Oh the sun feels so good and after the rain the air is so fresh and the plants are so happy to have gotten a drink they are all blooming...

OK I think I will eat a little grass before I go back in.... Mom can I come back in now...won't you please take my harness off so I can come back in....

Oh I had fun being out in the yard today with my sis fur and bro fur, we all had fun and did our own things...

THANKS MOM FOR LETTING US GO OUT TODAY AND HAVE OUR ADVENTURES.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You would not believe this but Kandi jumped over a fence Mom put in front of the bedroom door and out she came to explore. But she saw me and we got into a fight.

Mom was in another room and didn't realize Kandi was out, but I saw her and we got into it. Mom heard a strange noise and she came running out into the front part of the house...here I am minding my own business and this strange cat comes out of no where and she picks a fight with me, mind you I don't know how to fight, I have never been in a fight. Kandi is mean and now Mom knows she can't let her out and may never be able to let her out. Mom doesn't want us to get hurt or herself get hurt...this just may not work out and Mom is sad that Kandi just doesn't feel safe and happy to be here...

Mom had to chase down Kandi as she ran when Mom tried to get her with a towel, there is no way Mom is going to pick Kandi up without a towel to protect herself from scratches. She gets Kandi to run back into the room closes the door and checks on me first...

I am OK just scared I didn't understand what happened, I know I don't like this fight thing, I am a big scaredy cat and I always hide when I feel threatened or I hear noises...
Mom made sure I was OK, no cuts or punctures...thank goodness Mom says....

Then she goes into the room where Kandi is and she immediately hisses at Mom and growls at her, I can here from my bunk bed, I get scared again but I am hiding...

Kandi is OK too, Mom says we both are OK, just a little frightened. 

Mom just doesn't know what to do, I guess Kandi will have to live her life in that room and if it gets bad she may have to figure out something different, it may not work out...Mom can't risk one of getting hurt...Mom is keeping her fingers crossed that things will get better...

I am a lover not a fighter....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since I am the oldest furkid in our family I would like to announce to all of our friends here on Catster that we have a new sisfur in our house.

Her name is KANDI and she is our Grandma's kitty, you see her Mom wasn't doing well living alone anymore, she had to have emergency surgery, went into a Skilled Nursing home what ever that is and now she is living in a board and care home near us....none of us know what all of this means, we just know there is a strange cat living in our house actually in my room.

KANDI came to live with us because our Mom promised her Mom a long time ago that KANDI would always have a home with us...None of Mom's sisters wanted her cause she isn't always nice, she likes to hiss and swat at us and even humans.

I should be mad but Mom tells me this is for the best that KANDI  stays in my room, yes I was pushed out of my room bunk bed and all, even my warm bed with my very own heating pad and my spot at the window...it is hard on me, but this is harder on KANDI.

I am out in the front room yes I have my bunk bed, heating pad bed and I have a wonderful window with a seat to look out day and night. I am dealing with this move and we are getting used to KANDI being here.

KANDI is doing well considering what she has been through, she has never known any other home and it has been only her and her Mom. Now she is in a new home with all of us. What she must be thinking and how she must be feeling.

We are all praying that KANDI will be happy here, learn to love us and be part of our family, but for now she has to stay in my room.

Catster has helped my family in so many ways the biggest is helping Tallulah and Mom when QT was going through cancer, her surgery and chemo...cat Mom's have helped our Mom, so we are hoping you will help our newest member of our family KANDI GIRL...

Xena and family]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hiss Hiss I am not happy!!!!

You see my Mom took out my cat bunk bed and my soft round bed with my heating pad out of my room (known as Xena's room) yesterday, then she put another cats things in there...the nerve of my Mom what is she thinking.

I just don't know what to do my room is my haven from everyone, I love to be left alone a lot of the time and I love to sleep on my soft round warm heating pad bed and look out the window...what is a girl to do!!!I am wandering around the front part of the house trying to figure out why my Mom took my room away, what did I do to make Mom take my room away....

Today Mom put my soft round warm heated bed on our front window seat so I could lay in my bed, be warm and look out the front window, I didn't want to do it, I ran and asked Mom to let me in her closet, you see sometimes I like to hide in there and sleep where no one can find me...so there I stayed all day til dinner time.

I am finally out and after I ate, Mom picked me up, gave me lots of kisses and hugs, MOL she put me in my soft round heated bed gave me loves, scratches and told me I wasn't being punished and I just have to be patient, I will get my room back oh yea right, I ask when...she doesn't know.

There are strange smells in here and I hear a cat meowing that I have never heard before and Mom goes in there and shuts the door, she won't let me in what is a girl to do and what do I have to do to get my room back!!!!I must think about this but not today!!!!

The cat that has taken over my room is my Mommy's Mom's cat...her Mom had to go into a skilled nursing home on Friday so the cats Mom can't have her anymore. Mom has her here to love and give her a new home....she has never been around other kitties or doggies either, this ought to be very interesting...what is a girl to do...her name is Kandi she is persian Mom says I don't know what that means, but I don't care as long as she gets out of my room after all the room is called Xena's room. How dare this cat come into my room named after me....what is a girl to do...

Mom tells me I have to help make Kandi feel like she is loved and belongs here, this isn't after all her fault she doesn't understand what is going on and why she is here in a strange place....Well I guess a girl named Xena that's me has to be patient and be nice after all I have a new cat sisfur named Kandi and she is here to stay cause her Mom can't care for her anymore....the saga of what is a girl to do will continue until I get my room back....hiss hiss I am not happy...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW MOL!!! My birthday is in 5 days and I will be 12...I can't believe I have been with my Mom and in my forever Mom for twelve years...it seems like yesterday that my Mom came into that pet store where me and my siblings were brought after a nice person found us....that was my lucky day cause I got the best Mom....of course I did my best to be so cute that Mom would pick me.....

I came into my new home and just took over even though there were 2 other cats in the house...Mom told me I was special because she needed me to help her get over loosing her kitty named Bobby Lynn she was only 8....I did a great job helping Mom, she still missed her kitty but I helped with healing my Moms heart.

Now many years later I am still special but older & wiser...I may not be that young kitten anymore but I am still Xena the princess warrior and in my Moms eyes I am still the kitten she brought home to my forever home...


& in 5 days I will be twelve, but still young at heart and my Moms special girl...Mom loves me...

Help me celebrate my birthday on the 28th....I know Mom will give me a special dinner and my favorite catnip...after all I am the princess warrior and always will be....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom Mom please don't forget me!!! just because I am not sick, I need you too...Well I do have a problem just that Mom has it under control with natural remedy....

Let me first say I eat more can food than dry, you know why? I don't have many teeth left in my mouth...I had to have most of them pulled a few years back and since then I eat more can...so it make me have softer poo so when I jump down from the washer I have accidents sometimes and when I eat fish....I have a mild case of IB....

Mom used to take me to a acupuncturist but she moved,  Mom gives me my liquid remedy and it does help....Mom takes care of me she doesn't forget about me. It is just that lately she has had to spend all of her time and energy with my sisfur Tallulah and my brofur Zeke...but you know they are both doing well now, so now it is my turn...

Mom do you hear me, I am here, don't forget me....MOL....Mom comes and tells me she never forgot me, she grabs me gives me hugs & kisses. I am her special kitty after all I am Xena Warrior Princess and I am here to stay...so Mom don't forget me I am here!!!!! Let's have some fun now!!!!! MOM DOES LOVE ME SHE DOES......

kitty kisses and purrs
