		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK as you know Dr. Kathy called Mom on Friday like Xena said in her diary...

Well I am doing well, my urine is a little diluted so Dr. Kathy wants to see me in 3 months to check again to make sure I am not showing signs of CRF too....

Otherwise I am doing good, just need my toofies cleaned and probably some pulled, but first Kandi goes in hers are worse than mine.


The Creatinine should be between 0.6-2.4, mine is 2.5 a little high so that is why I have to go back in to be rechecked.

Dr. Kathy was concerned I had lost a small amount of weight, but Mom looked through all of my vet visits it seems I go up and down but not by a whole lot. I go from 10+ up to 12. So she isn't concerned and neither is Mom. Now if I lost a lot of weight that would be a different story. I am just not a big boy kitty and I am not a good eater, lots of times Mom has to hand feed me my can food.
So that is it for now, we will let you know when I am scheduled for my toofie cleaning.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh no not this again, Mom surprised me and Xena today with putting us in our crates and taking us to the Vet to see Dr. Kathy. It was time for my yearly check up, I got weighed, I have lost some weight, it concerns Mom & Dr. Kathy. Hopefully it isn't anything to worry about, but you know Moms. Mom told Dr. Kathy that I am eating the same, drinking my water, but Mom said she has noticed that I slowed down some. I will be 12 soon...what do they expect, after all cats sleep all the time. 

So the vampire took my blood too and urine as well. Dr. Kathy said I feel good, I look good and nothing but my teeth need to be cleaned and probably some teeth pulled too. Now Mom has to save some money so I can go back in...no I don't want to , but Mom talked to me and told me it has to be done because it could make me sick...hopefully I am not already I have enough things going on with me. Just having my teeth clean will be over $500 if I have to have teeth pulled it will go up and up...Mom told her if they didn't charge so much people would be apply to afford to bring in their pets for regular teeth cleaning...So I will be going in soon to have my teeth cleaned and toofie pulled... we will let you know my test results and when I have my appointment soon.

As Xena told you in her dairy we didn't go home right away, had to go with Mom to take care of a kitty and wait while see walked a clients 2 doggies. She brought us home and she had to leave to go walk another doggie...We are taking naps now all warn out from our adventure to the vet and going with Mom.

OK...gotta go finish my nap and get ready to get my good tuna dinner tonight...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My beautiful sweet Mietzi sent me a Valentine Card, yes a beautiful Valentine card because she thinks I am special.

She calls me her orange snuggle bear,boy does she have that right, I am a snuggler! she is so sweet she thinks I am handsome.

I am the lucky one to have my beautiful Mietzi for my sweetheart. She is so different than me but being different is good...I wouldn't change her for nothing.

She says she is wild, but this boy will try to tame her just a little, she loves to snuggle with me while we watch movies eating catnip popcorn.

I think I need to ask my beautiful valentine to dance, I will give her roses and catnip candy...maybe even a cuppycake shaped in a heart.

Mietzi I am the lucky one, I send you kisses from your handsome snuggle bear mancat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy Oh boy I am a DDP today along with my beautiful Angel sisfur Tallulah...what can be better than sharing this day with an angel in my family.

Moms first orange boy is very honored and happy, thank you HQ and Diary lady for choosing me today and for liking my diary entry. Thank you too all of my friends for stopping by sharing your comments with me, your gifts and special pictures.

Mom is proud of me her first orange boy too for being a DDP today, she jumped up and down yelling Zekee you are DDP today and so is our sweet Angel Tallulah, can you believe it. How special this is and then she gave me kisses and hugs, then I just looked at her like what because she rudely woke me up from my catnap. I just laid my head back down and continued my nap...now I am dreaming of how wonderpurr it is to have this special day with my angel sisfur Tallulah...I couldn't ask for a better day. My angel Tallulah came flying down whispered in my ear how proud she is of me and gave me an angel sisfur kiss....looking up to watch as she leaves me and tells me I love you my sweet brofur!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes I missed my Mommy yesterday, she got up early, fed us and then left by 6:30 am. She does this all the time, but I don't like it when she leaves us on the weekends cause that is my time for her to let me lay in her lap most of the day. Well I didn't get my lap time and I wasn't happy with her.

Mom went to our Zoo and then she had to take care of a kitty and 2 doggies, finally I heard the garage door open and I knew it was Mom, oh yeah she is home, it is about time, She came up to me to give me love and I smelled them, yes I smelled the strange animals on her. So she went took a shower and then she tells me I can lay on her lap. I eventually laid on my Moms lap and fell asleep snuggled in her blanket and chair..oh how I loved sleeping on Mom it is the best way to spend my Saturday afternoon.

This Morning she left again, she told me Zekee I won't be gone as long and once I am home you can lay on me. So earlier today I got all comfy on my Mom again and sleep for hours, til she rudely woke me up so she could get things done. Now this evening I will once again lay on Moms lap as the evening slows down and we all settle into our sleeping spot enjoying the quite time.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I must say my Gotcha day came and went. Mom wasn't home most of the day she had plans, got home and then her friend from out of town came over and she left again. Not that I minded but I just wanted Mom to be home with me so I could sleep on her lap and her give me loves. Well that didn't happen, but I did get to lay on her lap in the evening. She gave me lots of love and hugs...so I guess I have forgiven her for not spending the day with me. She didn't forget she just wasn't around. 

Thank you to all my friends for your gifts and comments. I am one lucky kitty to have wonderpurr friends that remembered me yesterday.

I am lucky because I have the best Mom, she loved me even if I was sick when she adopted me all those years ago, she nurse me back to health, gave me a safe and loving home. I have lots of places to sleep, I have good food and most important I have my Mom cause I am a Mama's boy and I just love sleeping on her and getting to sleep with her at night. She is the best Mom a boy kitty could ask for and she tells me she is the lucky one because I am her kitty orange kitty.

She actually went to the cat show today that she went all those years ago where we first met and fell in love.

Again thank you all for making my gotcha day so special even if I am celebrating a day late.

Thanks friends for your comments, gifts and just stopping by to visit with me.

Not much going on here, we are all just hanging out and being lazy today. Again @ 5:30 Kody decided to mess with me, really Kody I just wanted to sleep until it was time for Mom to get up and you decided to get on top of me...really....listen Kody you need to not bother me so early in the morning...this kitty needs his handsome sleep. I have to tell you Mom is really getting tired of you waking us up so early in the AM....you just may end up in your cage again, don't think you will like that one bit, so get a clue Kody.

Well friends & diary lady thanks again for choosing me today to be one of the DDP'S

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi my friends, I am just hanging out and enjoying Mom being home especially on the weekends when I get on her lap, then I sleep and sleep.

Hanging out with Kody he is my buddy most of the time, except when he decides to attack me 5am in the morning, how dare he do that, doesn't he know we sleep in...the nerve of that little dude.

I love to watch him run around and be crazy...he is do funny!!! very entertaining I might say...

Mom has noticed now that I am 11 I have slowed down some and I sleep a little more. She does worry about me and  told me I will be next to go to the vet for my check up. She wants my vet to check my lungs and breathing to make sure I am doing Ok. Mom did have to give me medication after Christmas I was starting to get sick, so I got homeopathic stuff for my nose and breathing, echinacea/goldenseal...it sure helped and I didn't have to go to the vet.

Now Mom is keeping an eye on me because Dad told her this morning that he has seen me twice now have trouble with my rear right leg, it gives out a little, now Mom hasn't seen that yet...if she sees it guess I will be making a trip to the vet.

Mom also has noticed that my fur is getting more matted near my back legs and underneath...I have very fine soft fur....I have never been good at grooming...my first Mom didn't show me much I was abandoned too young to learn. So now Mom is having to brush me more and get ride of the mats...not a happy boy when she does that.

Spending time with Xena and Kody outside especially that last few days with the great warm weather we are having...and spending time in my heated bed.

Well it is my catnap time so talk later

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was to happy today! the doorbell rang and it was the postman with my medication all the way from New Zealand...yes New Zealand. I have to have my inhaler for my asthma, my Vet told Mom about Canada Drugs online. Mom was getting my inhaler near our house for over $200 cause my insurance won't pay because I was diagnosed with breathing issues before she got me on a plan...

Mom can't afford to pay that so my vet helped Mom, now she only pays $82 plus shipping less that $100...WOW big difference!!!downfall doing this, it comes from New Zealand and it takes longer to get it (17 days)...I was running out of my puffs I need to take cause Mom kept forgetting to order...

The other night well actually the early hours of the morning I had the dreaded asthma attack and Mom jumped out of bed and ran to get my inhaler. I had one more puff today when the inhaler came in the mail...

I think Mom has learned her lesson she was so worried I would keep having attacks and wouldn't have my inhaler. She has been running the humidifier to keep the air moist because we are having hot and really dry air...

Well you guess it Mom hurried and gave me a puff and will give me another tonight and this week she is ordering another to have on hand.

I say Mom you are lucky it came today and I am too..now that I will get my 2 puffs a day that I need I will be doing so much better.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We send Magic Kisses to all our friends to help keep them safe!


Magic Mommy Kisses
(or A Halloween Good Night)
Each night I tuck you into bed
I brush my hand across your head
and in each tiny little paw
I place a magic mommy kiss.
Full of love and hope so bright
To keep you safely through the night,
Mommy kisses on your paw
To guide you off to slumberland.
If you should dream of monsters mean
Or witches with faces masked in green,
Of snakes that squeeze you oh-so-tight
Or darkness with no sign of light..
When nightmares hold you stiff with fear
A part of mommy still is near.
Just open up your paw and blow
One mommy kiss and nightmares go.

Mommy kisses make everything better, so we blow our Mommy kisses to our friends on the east coast, please be safe and know we care.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ well we had another surprise today, we didn't know it until Mom was reading our pawmail and there it was announcing to me that I am COTW! OMC I am jumping and dancing the kitty dance because of this honor. 

So this cat family has had 3 honors today, what have we done to deserve these honors for me, Kody and Tallulah....my oh my how can we thank all of our friends for honoring us today.

Mom and I will be thanking you all that sent us gifts tomorrow!


Oh OMC I almost forgot I am on antibiotics now, Mom got the medication on Saturday, my Vet just did a refill from my medicine I have had before. She knows I get URI every once in a while so lucky for me I didn't have to go to the Vet...that was close, thought I was going to have to go...

Well I gotta go time for my medication!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh this isn't good, I have been stressed with all of the weather changes we have been having going from in the 90's/100's then down to the 60's/70's, now back to it being hot again and the people that live across the street are adding on to their house, those workers make so much noise that it scares me so I run and hide.

With me having URI stresses can cause me to not feel well, so I have been sneezing & just a little stuffy, I'm just not myself lately. Mom always worries about me, she is giving me my medication that she always has from my Vet cause I do get this from time to time. Mom spent most of Saturday in her room with me on her lap. She had the vaporizer going to help me with my breathing. She is running the vaporizer right now while I am in laying in my bed at the window while it is quite.

If I am not better by tomorrow Mom will have to call my Vet and take me in, she is hoping I will feel better soon, she doesn't want to take me to the Vet cause it stresses me out too.

Mom doesn't think I am stressed because she brought Kody home, I was fine until a few days ago so she thinks it is the weather and those workers across the street.

Well I gotta go and get some rest, just hope I feel better later and don't go to the Vet.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK I have to put in my two cents on this subject of Tu Two being called a BEAST or not!

I do have to admit that I was that BEAST to Tallulah yeah me the sweet mellow orange boy. I just loved to stalk Tallulah, she was easy prey, but boy did she let the whole house know I was on her back and lightly biting her neck, she actually would scream ...she was so much fun...did I get into trouble when I did that to Tallulah you bet I did, I even got time out in another room all alone.....but it was fun..Mom would tell me it was like I got a feather up my you know what!

So is Tu Two the BEAST Xena is making her out to be, I have to say yes, sorry Tu Two...I know cause I was that BEAST at one time. 

Xena I now know how you are feeling and I must tell Tallulah that I am sorry I was a BEAST to her when she was on earth with us...cause Tu Two is the BEAST to me now...

Xena you need to stand up to her, give her the smacky paw and hiss! and Mom you need to do the time out and put that BEAST in another room...you need to teach her a lesson like you tried to do with me...did it work..NO! I still tried to get Tallulah....but when she got sick there was no way Mom even let me near her....

Sisters what is a brother do to...I say get along, love one another and stop being mean to Xena after all she is our elder wise in this house and we must obey her, honor her and leave her alone Tu Two...I do!

Zeke

PS: Tu Two is really a sweet girl, she isn't that bad, but she does like to chase after Xena for some reason and it concerns me...I just hope Xena will not be stressed and hide, but she is one to hide she likes to be left alone...Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well after reading my sisfurs diary entries I have to tell you I am the sweet mellow kitty. I just take my time doing things, lay around and spend time sleeping during the day while it is hot.

I don't eat or chase bugs or insects...I don't hide because of Kandi, but I am afraid of her because she likes to attack me for no reason, she is a mean kitty...but we all feel sorry to her.

I hang out with Mom, I love to sit on her lap when she is home, that way she can't do anything but give me loves.

I think my sisfurs need to learn to relax and mellow out like me, what do you think?

We love to play with our toys when Mom is home too, but with it being hot none of us feel like it much, especially Mom after she has to be out in the heat.

One last thing Mom found pictures of me when she first adopted me and when I hung out with Tallulah and my orange sisfur Star that is in heaven now...she needs to get them on my page. Well that is about all from me...

Moms sweet orange boy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends like everyone else Mom and I were totally surprised when we saw that I actually got a notice that I got a gift, so off we went to my page and found out that I was DDP today....those darn fleas are still keeping all of us from finding out we are being honored....we need major flea clean up here...

So I want to take the time to thank all of my friends that came here today and saw that I was one of the DDP's and my "Their Courage" poem was honored it is so  fitting I must admit cause we need to remember why we are free and live in the USA...the greatest place to be....

I had a good day the weather is beautiful here, not too hot hooray! the sun came out and I laid in the sun and getting lots of extra loves and brushing from Mom...no I didn't get any treats I don't eat treats...I know I know there are plenty out there that love treats....only Tu Two likes treats in our house....

So after a good day, having all my friends come visit me and help me celebrate I must admit I am ready to take a early evening nap.

Talk to you all tomorrow!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Their courage deems utmost respect
Their mission clear, our way protect

Itâ€™s sure to each what they must do
No give or take, keep freedom true

With the grand old flag, they'll unite
Whenever they must, march to fight

A life we know counts hard on them
Without their ranks, hellish problem

If our Armed Forces ceased to be
How long could we survive as free

Letâ€™s well realize the truthful score
We need our troops just like before

Boils down to this, words to engrave
Land of The Free, Due to The Brave

God Bless each one for being there
Their loved ones too, unending care

Hope born from love touches the will
Do back them strong, means to fulfill

Americans â€“ Who Serve To Give
One Nation â€“ Under God We Live


WISHING OUR FRIENDS A HAPPY AND SAFE 4TH OF JULY!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I must say I am so happy I have a new bed the tiger bed...I roar like the tiger...Mom saw this and just had to get it for me cause I am her sweet tiger boy...no I am not a tiger but as close as Mom can have...she also got a new orange kitty nicknack like me sweet & cute just like me....

Now the important thing is one of her clients left the gift bag with the large butterfly hanging on the mailbox the other day...she was shocked when she went out to get the mail to see this beautiful butterfly bag...

You see Mom was super busy with clients pets last weekend, this client asked Mom if she could take care of his diabetic cat at short notice even though Mom was super busy she took care of her because she knows Mom and Mom has been giving her the insulin shots for years now and Mom knew her Dad wouldn't be able to find someone at a short notice to take care of her.
Well this was a gift to say thank you for taking care of sweet Stasia while he was gone..

Mom couldn't believe that he said this had Mom all over it and he just had to get it...he doesn't know that Mom likes butterflies and to her it is all about butterflies because of Tallulah...so this gift has 2 special meanings to it and Mom will always cherish her gift....and it has a orange kitty on it as well...

Mom still wants to know why he chose butterflies....I think Tallulah knew and she told her client in some way....

Oh well who knows all I know is I am ready to go and sleep in my tiger bed....grrrrrrrr.....

Mama's sweet boy

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL we are so excited in our house, we got a big package last week and we couldn't wait to see what was inside...well it is flat boxes...yeah flat boxes. We sniffed and looked at Mom "What is this, this isn't fun" Mom said just wait I have to put them together...

Oh what fun Mom was having trying to figure these things out...still look like flat boxes to us. Soon the boxes were becoming cubicles with holes...oh what fun let's get in Tu Two and Xena....Xena just looked at us on right!

Well finally after a while Mom finally figured them out and now we have Catty Stacks Designer Cat Condos..

Mom says they are industrial-strength recycled corrugated ultraboard, they are colored with nontoxic vegetable-based inks...

Mom has put pictures of them on our pages...so all of you can see...they are so fun just like having cardboard boxes but stronger and with holes...Mom got us 3 for now, but one can buy as many as they want and stack them anyway you want...Mom got ours from Amazon....

What fun we are having in them, Mom even lets me eat in one sometimes, I sleep in them too...I love my new condo I think I need to make a sign with my name on the condo I love.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ "Happy Mothers Day"


"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love


Mother's are precious to us, they love us unconditionally no matter what, they are always there for us when we need them...now I honor my Mom on this special day just for Mother's...

Mom's sweet boy

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On the first day of creation, God created the cat.

On the second day, God created man to serve the cat.

On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the cat.

On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the cat.

On the fifth day, God created the sparkle ball so that the cat might play with it, or might not play with it.

On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the cat healthy and the man broke.

On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but He had to scoop the litter box.



So I ask are us cats superior! we have a great life with humans at our beck and call...we sleep all day and play at night...

I think we are!!!!!well to dogs anyway!!!!! We are smarter by far!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Me and my family have been thinking of the changes in our lives good or bad we have to accept them...it is hard sometimes but in the long run changes are good mostly...

Mom is making changes in her business because she is getting too stressed from all of the driving she has to do, she works almost every day with hardly any days off...we miss having Mom home with us and she misses us...now that Xena has CRF, I have asthma, she is getting older and she has the added responsibility of helping with her Moms care because she has dementia she decided time to make changes...it scares Mom but she knows she has to do this and the time is to start now, it will be a slow process but I for one can't wait so I can spend more time in her lap taking naps & getting lots of love...

We also know that here on catster there has been lots of changes, some have left because of the changes. Are they good changes or not so good, we don't know we are not judging, but as time goes things have to change. None of us like changes, but we all must give the changes a chance even if we don't like them...what doesn't change here is the love and friendship we have here. To us that is what is important, to have a place we can come to with our Mom and for our Moms to help them with everyday life, stresses, losses and hardships...this is a place where my Mom can come and forget the outside world for a short time..

If saddens us when so many leave because they don't like the changes but change is good most of the time, just embrace and give the changes a chance we have to get used to those changes..we just wish that every time there is a change people would not up and leave, going to FB is not always the answer.

Mom found this and to Mom  and us this says it all....

All of us experience change in our lives. Change is the one constant in our lives. There are changes that we look forward to and change that we fear. However, one thing is for sure. Things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them too. When a life change occurs, we have two choices in how to respond. We can despair that a change has come and assume that things will be worse, or we can look with excitement at the new possibilities that the change presents.

Thank you all for being our friends, being here for us in good times, sad times and not so good times...and yes even when things change. Give change a chance.....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's almost time, it's almost time!!! only 2 more days,yeah we will soon know who our Secret Admirer is in our group Kewlest Catster Kitties group...we will all be revealing who our Secret Admirer is...

My secret admirer is so good to me, she has sent me hearts red & gold...and even a football. 

I am thinking and thinking who could this be, but I can't guess, but I bet she is pretty and so sweet. When I find out who my SA is I am going to run and give her a Valentine Kiss and hug!

I wonder does she have long fur, short fur, is she orange like me or black & white like Xena, or a tabby, I am sure she is a beauty...

I have to take the time to thank our group for doing this, it has been fun for us and our friends Dante & Bugsy's family for sending all of our messages and pictures to our SA for all of us...

Well I gotta go and try to figure out who this special little pretty kitty girl could be...

		<description>I can't believe I will be 10 tomorrow and Mom adopted me. it was my lucky day 10 years ago when Mom  ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe I will be 10 tomorrow and Mom adopted me. it was my lucky day 10 years ago when Mom came to the cat show. She told me she really wasn't looking to adopt another kitty because at the time she already had 4 cats all girls...but she saw me and knew immediately it was love at first site and she was going to take me home.

So after calling Dad and telling him she was bringing another kitty home, a orange boy I was hers. I didn't like the ride home much I was in a card board carrier because Mom didn't have a carrier in her car.

By the time Mom got me home I was sneezing, she thought maybe I maybe I had allergies, little did she know that I was sick with URI....

The rescue group that had me when they got me I was stress little kitten with his siblings on the side of the road, they took me to the vet, they fixed me, gave me shots and de-wormed me....not a good idea because we were all stressed and sick...the shot for respiratory illnesses gave me the infection and because of that I am a carrier...

That first evening in my new home wasn't a good one because I was very sick, Mom called the rescue group to let them know, they wanted Mom to bring me back so they could take care of me, Mom said no way she was going to take care of me...she took me to our old Vet and that is when she found out I was sick with URI...medication after medication but I wasn't getting better. I had to stay in the bathroom for my first month in my new home.
Mom hand fed me, made me my food, gave me homeopathic remedies and soon I was on my way to getting better...

Finally I was able to get out of the bathroom and roam the house and to meet my 4 sisters..at first they didn't like me, but soon we all got along and I loved my family.

As the years have past 3 of my sisters are now angels, you know one our Tallulah who has helped so many and continues to help, she is famous you know she is all over the world and she is helping to fight breast cancer not only in humans but kitties as well, I loved my QT....Xena is my only sister that was here when I came to live all of those years ago and I love her I do...now we have Tu Two and we have so much fun playing with each other, I love her lots too.

I have had breathing issues over the years and finally Mom found our Vet we have now, she is the one that figured that some of my problems was from me having asthma, so now I have to breathe into my inhaler mask and I am doing so much better.

I love my forever home, love my Mom I am her lover boy, I sleep with her most nights or near her never far away. I have many places to sleep, lots of toys, I get to go outside on my leash sometimes, I get great food so what more could Moms lover boy want, not much because I think I have it all...

My only wish is for me to have lots more years with my family and to continue to be healthy of course except for my asthma that will always be there...and I don't want to have to go to the vet again but I know that wish will not happen.

I am so happy my Mom saw me at that cat show ten years ago tomorrow it was my lucky day, because she fell in love with me and gave me a chance to be her lover boy...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is one sneaky lady she sure is....she pushed me into a small carrier because she had to take Xena to the Vet too for her Blood work...she managed to get us both in the front seat and buckled in our carriers. I meowed so loud because being in a carrier is too much for me, brings memories back of when I was a kitten, lonely and scared in a container with my siblings on the side of the road hearing all of those cars and big truck go by..and guess what Mom opened the garage door and you would not believe my luck a big trash truck pulled up in front of our house...I went crazy, Mom had to put the door back down and wait till the truck was down the street to open the door again....

I meowed and meowed all the way to the vet 10 miles...nothing helped calm me down, not Moms voice not soothing music.

I was a good boy at the vet because I really am a sweet mellow kitty, I let Dr. Kathy check my eyes, nose, mouth, she felt me and weighed me...12 lbs. 4 oz...I have gained a little weight...

I got taken away by the vampire lady, she took my blood and some urine too...I don't even want to talk about that humiliating event...what gives they could have just asked me and I would have done that for them, but no....

Dr. Kathy told Mom I need to have my teeth cleaned, but she can't afford it right now, she has to put dental gel on my gums with a swab everyday to help with my gums...Mom isn't sure when she will be able to do that...

My labs tests came back good, there is nothing to be concerned about, my asthma is good, just still have to have my inhaler as needed...she didn't even see anything from when I scared Mom a while back...so I am mostly healthy.

Well I need a nap so I think I will lay my head down on Moms lap...helping her type is getting me sleepy...nite my friends.

hugs and love]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends! we just wanted to let you know that I have been feeling better and no more scarring Mom...she has been giving me my asthma treatment every day, Immuno and I am doing so much better...my Vet said for Mom to keep watch over me to see if it happens again and since I am doing better I don't have to go to the vet. They could run test but it may show nothing...they are thinking I had an asthma attack and Mom just happened to get up at the right moment, but we are not sure what happen and may never know. But the good news is I am doing OK.

Mom has been resting now that her busy time of the year is over, she has to do lots of paperwork for the end of the year for her business, but that gives us more time to be with us...we are all so happy I love getting to sleep on her lap.

Since she is home more she has decided that she needed to find web sites that she can order medication cheaper for me and Xena...especially my inhaler for my asthma, guess what she found one, Mom was paying over $200 for human inhaler for me, now she will pay $82 plus shipping, she was dancing last night after she talked to the nice lady,now we just have to wait for my Vet to call them on Friday to give them my prescription and Moms saves money...my Vet gave Mom this web site gave you believe that!

For Xena she order lots of needles really cheap and she ordered her fluids and line from Dr. Foster & Smith...really good deal and no charge for shipping...

Guess it pays to shop around like humans say....now we have one happy Mom because I am feeling better, she is going to save money on our meds., what else could our Mom want right now.

Well my friends we just wanted to let you know I am feeling OK and hopefully I will continue to feel good and not scare Mom again.

Hugs]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well here goes Mom got up a little before 4am and she almost fell over me, yes I was on the floor by her bed...usually I would get up and run off and meow, but that night I did not. Mom picked me up and then put me on the floor I went to a cube toy we have in her room the carpet was wet like some drops of wet from something dripped...Mom felt that something wasn't right with me. Mom picked me up again took me into the bathroom so she could turn the light on and so she could look at me and see what was going on...my breathing was raspy and I was wobbly on my feet. Mom told Dad but he stayed in bed...sometimes Mom doesn't understand how he could just stay in bed and not worry about us.

Mom decided to take me out into the family room and kitchen to stay with me and watch me for a little while and make a decision if I needed to go the Vet ER...Mom really didn't want to have to take me because she knows I really hate going into my carrier and I get so stressed out.

Mom gave me my asthma treatment thinking maybe I had an attack and she didn't hear me, and the gave me my medication for when I am sick, her Vet gives it to her just in case I get sick because I have URI...my pupils were dilated all the way no color in my eyes, I was limp and just wasn't Moms sweet boy.

Mom put me in one of the beds with our heating pads and laid by me watching me, talking to me and giving me love...she kept saying please Zeke be OK I can't have anything happen to you and then she pray and asked Tallulah to come watch over me and to not let anything happen to me...Mom was too afraid to cry, but the tears were there sometimes..

After several hours of Mom watching me I started to respond to her by purring and when she scritched me I meowed saying I am Ok Mom...

Mom feel asleep for a short time and when she realized she did she jumped up and checked on me....I meowed at her and I was OK, but Mom wasn't convinced. I just wasn't myself and she has no idea what happened and I don't know how to tell her either. Mom had to get up feed up and then go take care of cats, she didn't want to leave me for long so she hurried back to see how I was doing...

Now Mom knows I love to get brushed every morning and I saw her pick up our new brush we got for Christmas and you know what I got up and wanted to be brushed, I walked normal, I meowed and purred...Mom was so happy to see that I was OK..I didn't eat much.

All day Mom was checking on me and little over kill I say so myself, but I know she loves me and worries when one of us isn't feeling well.

She called the vet and they felt that since I was doing better that Mom should just keep an eye on me and keep giving me my asthma treatment to see how I do..if anything changes I have to go in for check up and maybe tests.

The last 2 nights I have been sleeping with Mom and she keeps checking on me and I know it is because she worries and she loves me...

Thanks Mom for finding me and staying with me when I wasn't doing well, and we know a special angel was with me and Mom we all know who it was...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends it has been awhile since Mom has let me on the computer to write in my diaryâ€¦

Well a lot is always going on here like so many other kitties familiesâ€¦.this Month we have our pages decorated all the same because of honoring our Tallulah and her fight for KITTY BREAST CANCER AWARENESS! 

We are not decorating our pages this year for HALLOWEEN, Mom wasnâ€™t going to even do our pictures for HALLOWEEN, but yesterday she has a little time to look at the frames for HALLOWEENâ€¦

and guess what she found a frame in pinkâ€¦yes that is right pink because for us this month it is all about pink for our TALLULAH and us HONORING HER. YES IT IS OK FOR MANCATS TO WEAR PINK AND HAVE THEIR PAGES DECORATED IN PINK....ANYWAY WHO SAID PINK IS ONLY FOR GIRLS.

Yeah we know HALLOWEEN is all about orange & blackâ€¦but we like the pink! We think it is special because our sisfur Tallulah was special and we continue to honor her even on HALLOWEEN

If you are wondering way we have pink HALLOWEEN  picture frames now you know whyâ€¦besides we want to be differentâ€¦

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FRIENDS! STAY SAFE AND INSIDE

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tomorrow 9/11 is PET MEMORIAL DAY! we have poems to help remember our beloved pets that have made their journey to the Rainbow Bridge!

"It came to me that every time I lose a cat/dog they take a piece of my heart with them.  And every new cat/dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart.  If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be cat/dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."

---Unknown



A Bridge Called Love

It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.
There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us
It's the bridge that we call love




Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.

Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.



Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A comfortable lap,
a gentle stroke, a hand to rub
your outstretched chin...
is this kitty paradise?

Your purr-motor's running 
passionately, and your paws
are kneading with kittenish zeal
as you close your eyes to all else,
savoring this moment of absolute joy.

This is paradise to me especially when I am on Mom's lap..pure joy for me...as I fall asleep in wonder bliss!

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  Latteâ€™s Mom â€¦what a good girl for showing her the beautiful butterfly while she was walking on her 3rd dayâ€¦.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 werenâ€™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 didâ€¦.you saved Xena and for that we honor you alwaysâ€¦..
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 cancerâ€¦she did not die in vainâ€¦.she has saved lives!

		<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 pagesâ€¦
Next month will be a hard and sad month for us, it will be Tallulahâ€™s first anniversary going to the rainbow bridge and we will continue to honor her with more butterfliesâ€¦Tallulah is all about her butterfly garden in heaven and she let Mom know she was Ok with a beautiful white butterflyâ€¦how else can we honor her but with butterfliesâ€¦
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 didnâ€™t and it saved Xenaâ€¦.

Remember Tallulahâ€™s kitty breast cancer awareness is all year around every yearâ€¦to many kitties are getting breast cancer and other cancers and we need to make sure our pawrents check usâ€¦.
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 pageâ€¦.we hope you will do this!

Tallulah is sending all butterflies from heaven!
Love, hugs and angel kitty kisses

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you my friends and HQ for honoring me today for being one of the DDP'S. 

We never expect to be honored at all, we are here for the love from our friends, of course our friends, their support.

 We always try to remember why we came here and how all of our friends and their Moms have been here for my family...that to us is what is important...and if by some chance we get chosen to be honored that is one wonderful honor...but not something we have to have...

Mom says that has little to do with why we are here and continue to be here...when we were faced with that nasty cancer in our sweet Tallulah who so bravely fought and then all of the love & support we got from all of our cat friends and their Moms is why we keep coming back...

We have felt so much love, caring and support from all of you and being here for all of you...this honor is just a very small part for us..

Thank you again my friends for helping me celebrate today and a special thank you to HQ

Oh yeah one more thing....please say some prayers tomorrow for my Mom to get through the day & for our sweet Tallulah, it will be very hard for her it will be 6 months since Tallulah made her journey...I know that Mom is having a hard time...today I found her sitting by Tallulah's grave crying and talking to Tallulah..Mom says it still feels like it was yesterday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW where has the time gone my sweet mellow boy ZEKE will be 9 soon on the 26th....

It seems just like yesterday that I was at the cat show and decided to adopt him. where has the time gone.

We had to teach him so many things because he was taken away from his Mom too soon, left in a box on the side of the road to survive on his along with his siblings...where has the time gone.

I am the lucky one to have found him, of course he is lucky I came that day and he won my heart. He had a ruff start, getting very sick after I brought him home, not knowing he got sick from getting his upper respiratory shots, getting fixed and dewormed all in the same day...stupid Vet didn't he know this poor kitty was not well and was very stressed...the Vet should have known better to not do all of that in one day...now my sweet boy has breathing issues.

Where has the time gone....once I learned he had upper respiratory infection I nursed him back to health, getting more into holistic medicine...it was a long month in the bathroom for my sweet boy, but finally he was out and learning about the house and his sisfurs.

My poor boy did not know how to do things other kitties do naturally, we actually had to teach him how to jump one step at a time. sometimes he is a goof and his back legs look funny when he walks, he isn't the best jumper, but he is the lover and sweet mellow boy. Where has the time gone...I sure don't know because he is going to be 9 soon.

He gets along with our dogs, when he and Mia were little they loved to play with each other, they still do but not as much because now we have Tu Two he likes to play with...he is the big brother so loving and mellow...oh where has the time gone.

He loved his angel sisfur Tallulah, he loved chasing her and playing pray and predator of course our Tallulah did not like the game as much as he did, but they loved each other. Once Tallulah was sick we had to keep Zeke from wanting to play with her, but  in the end when she was gone he suffered and he got sick...where has the time gone...I sure don't know it just flies by

Now we know that Zeke's breathing issues have developed into asthma and he can still get upper respiratory infections, so we try to keep his life stress free...he is a good boy he doesn't fight when he has to have his asthma treatment and have the mask on his face...he is a good boy. He is my sweet mellow lover boy I am so happy we found each other and I am his Mom...I still can't believe he will be 9...where has the time gone.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my my little sisfur Princess Tu Two she sure can be fun and then again she can be a pain.

Here I am minding my own business or sleeping when all of a sudden there is this bundle of energy on my back I am the prey...guess I am getting pay back now because I used to do that to Tallulah before she got sick.

I know she is a kitten and she wants to play but please can you wait to do that when I am awake or when I am ready to play...but once she does that then I get her back. I am on her and biting her making all kinds of noises I am, sometimes Mom thinks one of us is hurting the other, but we are only playing.

Princess Tu Two is fun to play with she is so funny when she plays, jumps and runs around. I love playing with her we have so much fun, I finally have someone to play with so I guess I can't complain if she can be a pain sometimes..

I think it is nice that I have a sweet little sisfur whom by the way I love, to hang out with me and play, just not when I am sleep please Princess Tu Two...

I think she is more fun than a pain....so Princess Tu Two lets go have some fun...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We haven't been on much but we did notice as all of you that Sassy's page is gone. We are also sadden that she isn't here. Well Mom emailed her last night and she got a answer.

Sassy's Mom said it was OK for  us to let her friends on Catster know that they are OK, over the holidays some family things happened and they are going through a rough time right now. She is taking care of her parents, had to hire a nurse to take care of her Dad. So she had to cut back on things for now one being her internet, she is working 12 hour days and spending the rest of the time with her parents, she said she wouldn't have the time to spend on Catster right now anyway. She hopes sometime in the future she will be back.

Mom has asked her to let her know how her and Sassy are doing. I think we all need to pray for Wendy Sassy's Mom and her parents and hope she will be back soon...we all miss her lots and we told her, we also told her that her friends were writing in their diaries asking where she was...

So hope you all will keep them in your prayers!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well it took Mom long enough to let me dictate to her to let all of my friends know that I am better. I finished my antibiotics and I am AOK....

My Vet told Mom that my blood work came back and I am healthy except for my asthma...now I just have to stay that way.

I am spending more time with Mom and Xena...Xena and I spend a lot of time together during the day while Mom is gone, we both love to lay in our heated beds looking out the bay window and laying in the sun...then at night I get in Mom's chair with her on the arm or up on the back of the chair, then when she goes to bed I sleep with her, I know it isn't the same as Tallulah, but I am helping her feel a little better by being there for her and trying to keep her from crying for our Tallulah.

So my news is good I am a healthy boy..and I am still having to have my treatment each day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh MOL I had to go with Mom today, first she gets me into a carrier and little did I know that not only was I going for a ride with Mom and have to wait while she took care of a kitty before she took me to the Vet. I hate going so I cry the whole time...MOL MOL and I mean MOL big time.

Once Mom was done with her clients kitty off we went to the car and drive to the Vet, it seemed like it was taking so long to get there, but finally we were there. Me Zeke was not a happy cat, Mom gave me calming medication to help it finally took affect, but I still didn't want to be there.

They called my name and back we went to a room, Mom got me out giving me kisses and petting me telling me it was OK. The Vet Tech weighted me I am 12.5 lbs...Mom was surprised cause I don't feel that heavy. She asked Mom questions about how I was feeling, how I am doing with my asthma. 

Mom told her that I was having problems with congestion because of losing our sweet Tallulah, I am missing her bunch. Asthma she has been giving me my treatment 2 times a day. Dr. Kathy came in...

She talked to Mom about how I am doing, she checked me and it seems like my lungs are clear, GOOD, my nose is clear, GOOD, but she does hear the way I am breathing sounds like congestion. She says I have a bacterial infection and the stress and me mourning Tallulah brought it on..She is happy Mom gave me my antibiotics over the weekend it kept me from getting worse until she could see me today. OH WHOOPIE!!!!!!

Because it was also for my yearly check up I got the vampire treatment today, they took blood, wanted urine, but I did that just before we left so didn't have that done...yeah...

She brought me back in, told Mom she will give me more of my antibiotic called clindaCure Vedco and Fortiflora to help me with my tummy and pooping so I don't get the runs from the medication. I get the Fortiflora in the middle of the day so I get extra fishy can food. I got that when Mom came home again today.

Mom talked to the ladies in front while waiting for me to go in about Tallulah and her mission for kitty breast cancer awareness she showed Tallulah's breast cancer picture and gave them all the kitty breast cancer ribbon Calvin's Mom made for Mom to pass out. They loved it and thought is was so cute, they are all going to wear them and help get the word out for Mom...my Vet Kathy also got one, she put it on right away and Mom gave her Tallulah's picture....they are all behind Mom in getting the word out. They told Mom everyday they see doggies and kitties come in with cancer...it is so sad that so many of our pets are getting cancer.

Mom brought me home and she had to go walk a dog and then she came home, once she was settled down with the doggies I decided I wanted to be with Mom too, so all 4 of us slept for a while..

Such a stressful day for me, but I am happy now that I am home and with Mom....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am missing my sisfur so much it hurts...I miss watching her, chasing her and just sitting with her...

I miss her so much I got sick, Mom thought I was having trouble with my asthma, but Friday I didn't move around and didn't want to eat...out came the fishy food and then Mom hand fed me...

I just wasn't acting like myself, I just stayed in my bed with the heating pad...

Before Mom buried Tallulah I kept watch over her, Mom told me to spend time with her cause soon we wouldn't see her anymore, Mom was crying and I knew something was wrong, but I didn't want to believe that our Tallulah was not here with us...told Mom she is right there why isn't she moving around and wanting to play...Mom cried and told me our sweet Tallulah is an Angel now.

I worried so about my sisfur Tallulah over the last days she was here I kept watch over her as I am watching over Mom now. It was so much for me, I felt the stress and the sadness. I sat on the back of Tallulah's chair, when the dogs got in the chair I snarled at them...it is her chair.

Now I am sick and Mom is taking me to the Vet tomorrow...Mom had some nasty medication she is giving me so I am feeling better but still not myself...

I have mourned my sisfur too, I may not cry like my Mom, but I am sad and I miss her so...I have been sleeping with Mom, she needs me to be with her now, so I want to get well for my Mom I don't want to worry her so...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy is letting me on catster tonight because I wanted to let you all know I am being a good boy and being here for Mom, I haven't left her side much, I feel she needs me and Tallulah told me to help Mom heal...so I am laying on the back of her chair...watching over her...I have also been sleeping with her, I know she needs me and I am here for her...she is so sad & cries all the time for our Tallulah is gone and so am I....she was my sisfur and we also had a special friendship....

I won't leave Mom she needs me and I have to be a big boy and help her, I tell her no cry Mom, no cry....maybe we can write tonight and think of how pretty Tallulah is she is our angel now...a beautiful white angel and she even has pink wings...her favorite color...

I have also been watching over Tallulah in her casket, I lay on the back of the chair Tallulah was always in near her cat tree she so loved and it was her safe place when she was in their no one could get her or touch her....I have sat there when I am not with Mom and while Mom was gone since Monday..I even go look into the casket when Mom opened it up to check on her. I would look inside and touch her nose...I know she is OK, I see her, but Mom can't she isn't a cat....I won't let anyone, not even the dog Mia get near it I get by it and snarl...that means no you don't leave her alone...Mom told me when she puts it on the ground Mia, Milo and Xena can come to sniff her so they all know she is not alive anymore, but an angel at peace now...now it is time to close the casket and put her in her resting place...where Mom can put pretty flowers on her grave...where we can go visit her whenever Mom lets us.

bye my sweet sisfur I love you, miss you and oh man who am I going to case now and play tiger with....what am I going to do..no one to play with...I am sad too and I weep for my sisfur...a sad sad good boy. Mom don't cry I am here for you!!!!Tallulah is here too, you just can't see her you are not a cat...

1. Do you ever wake your parent up in the night? YES, all the time, I meow, I jump on the bed and run around and I love to love Mom while she is sleeping

2. Do you ever tear up things? No, I never tear things up

3. What is your favorite treat? I donâ€™t like treats

4. Can you fetch something when asked to do so? No 

5. Have you ever lived any place other than where you live now?  No until I finally was adopted by the best Mom ever and now I have my forever home.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was playing with QT today with our laser light, I just couldn't help myself I had to get in on the action....that laser light is so fun and can be annoying too...we always try and try to get it, but we just never seem to be able to get it, I put my paw on it and it disappears...what gives....

So I run around and pounce having fun, that is what it is all about...having fun...Tallulah my sweet little sis fur was watching me going ha ha ha because I couldn't get it either.. this blows I was trying to show up Tallulah I wanted to get that laser but I guess I will have to try again another day.

Mom says we can try again later to see if we can finally get that light...darn where did that light go, has anyone seen it, I wanted to get it...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to go outside today. I don't get to go out too often you see I manage to get out of my harness and then Mom has to chase  me around the yard or she has Mia my dog sis fur get me..I figured out if I wrap my leash around things I can pull and get out of the harness, so when I do that I don't get to go out for a while....

I also don't get to go out on trash days, I am afraid of trucks so when I hear the trucks coming I panic and try to climb the patio door screen....

Today was a nice day, no trucks and I didn't wrap myself around things..so I got to stay out with Xena and QT, we all had fun doing our own thing in the yard...I ate grass too yummie, so glad Dad  didn't mow the grass yet, bet he mows it tomorrow before it gets any higher....no Dad don't mow it all we need to eat grass don't you understand that !!

So I mostly stayed on the patio, sat in the arm of the cat chair we all like to hang out in...and then it was time to go back in Mom had to get ready to leave...

I had a fun time being out and getting some fresh air and sun...

Thanks Mom for letting me out today!!!had a great time hanging out with you and the kitty girls...SEE MY PICTURES ON MY PAGE

		<description>MOL Mom finally let me on the computer to let all of my friends know I am still doing good with my a ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL Mom finally let me on the computer to let all of my friends know I am still doing good with my asthma treatments. My Doctor Kathy told Mom it is OK for me to have 1 puff twice a  now til the spring unless I have an asthma attack so far so good...I am breathing fine and I am so happy. You know I am fine with getting the treatments, I know they are coming and I do breath in my medication like a good boy. yes I am a good boy!

Now on to more news from me to you we have a new cat in our house. You see my Mom had to bring her Mom's cat Kandi to live with us cause her Mom is in a skilled nursing home now and she can't have her live with her anymore.

Well she isn't the nicest kitty you see no one can pick her up, if anyone human and animal gets near her she swats at them. Mom got the swat last night and now has scratches on her hand.

Mom says we have to be patient and loving to her cause she doesn't understand why she is here and locked in a room without her Mom. Mom opens the door and puts the doggies fence up in front of the door so we all can look at each other. I just sit there and watch her, she sits there looks back at me hisses and growls...Mom asked me if I even know how to hiss or growl. You know I don't know! I have never had to hiss or growl I am a lover boy and pretty easy going for the most part...Tallulah hisses and so does Xena...

Mom just wants to be careful to make sure Kandi  won't attack any of us, cause we are not mean or fighters.

So our house has been turned upside down with having a new kitty in the house. The saga continues and  who knows when it will end if at all...we all hope Kandi will feel better about being here and get to come out of the room and be part of our family.

As long as I accept her and my breathing continues to not be a problem for me anymore...loving Zeke]]></content:encoded>

How you creep, round my house.
Don't you know you're  a play thing to me,
Don't you know I'm your enemy.
Better get out while you can, 
Better get out while you can.
Silent mouse, little gray mouse,
still you creep, round my house,
I'm so tired of your squeaking,
Tired of hearing folks shrieking,
This will be your last warning. 
Better get out while you can.
Silent mouse, little gray mouse,
All is calm, round my house.
From your hole you silently crept,
From the shadows I silently leapt.
I can sleep in peace,
I can sleep in peace.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You know there is magic here on Catster, especially from our kitty angels and special friends...they helped my sisfur Tallulah through her surgery and chemo and she is better no cancer now and we hope it stays that way...

I also have had magic from a special angel and friend Buddie he helps Tallulah and he is now helping me you know how...

I GOT THE BUDDIES WELL WISHERS GANG HEALING ROSETTE--GIVEN WITH PRAYERS, LOVE AND WELL WISHES FROM HUNDREDS OF FURFACES  ON 10/26/2009

Guess What it works I am now helping Mom by breathing in my inhaler, no holding my breath I am making the flap in the inhaler holder move back & forth, back & forth....I am now a good boy breathing like I am suppose to be when Mom gives me my treatment....I am a good boy!!!

Mom rubs my head, scratches my chin and side of my face and boy you should see the flip move fast....and Mom tells me I am a good boy, she loves me....

I am still getting the 2 treatments but now I get one puff in the morning and 2 puffs in the evening...I get this for 4 weeks to see how I do and hopefully Dr. Kathy will get good news and I won't have to do the 2 puffs 2 times a day anymore, we are still in the adjusting stage, Mom sure hopes I keep doing well so I get only one treatment a day..

Mom says the healing rosette is helping it is magical....THANK YOU BUDDIE AND FURFRIENDS....it is magical and catster is magical...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy this morning was a ruff start for me, Mom chased me down to give me my asthma treatment, she found me hiding under a dresser, I thought I was clever and she wouldn't find me, but I was wrong...darn.....

Mom gave me my treatment and I did good today.....then before I knew it I was in my dreaded carrier MOL MOL MOL MOL.....Mom gave me a remedy to calm me down, but it took a while to work so it was MOL MOL MOL.

After driving and driving we finally stopped and Mom took me into a building, no dogs this morning  just cats.....we waited and then I heard my name, oh no here we go I am shaking....

The Vet Tech weighed me I weigh 10.55 lbs., then out came the instrument to take my temperature in the ear, yes in the ear, not the rear, thank goodness not cool having it done at the other end....

Dr. Kathy finally came in to see me, she checked my chest and lungs to make sure they are getting better and she put a dentist mirror under my nose to see how my breathing is.....guess what I am now breathing out of both sides of my nose.....my chest and lungs are clear.....

Dr.Kathy is pleased to report that I am doing so much better, she laughed when Mom told her she thinks I hold my breath sometimes so I don't have to breath in my mask and get my medication.

So after almost 2 years I am finally breathing like I should and I am better...Mom still have to give me the inhaler 2 times a day for 2 more weeks and then she will try 1 time if I am still doing good. Dr. Kathy said that most cats with asthma usually have to continue with 2 treatments...

Mom is so happy that I can finally breathe and so am I....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I have had my new inhaler for my asthma since Monday and I am doing good.

 MOM IS SO PROUD OF ME FOR BEING A GOOD BOY, RELAXING ON HER LAP AND LETTING HER PUT MY INHALER TO MY FACE AND BREATH FOR HER.

Mom has to be careful not to let me see the inhaler so I don't run and try to get away from Mom....you see I am a runner, I go over the doggie gates, under the table and behind things just to get away....

But......

Mom always catches me no matter what, she sits on her recliner love seat with me on her lap she gives me lots of loves, praises  me and slowly gets ready to give me my inhaler....

Shake shake shake....push mister it's a puff sound then oh no here it comes the mask over my face......I sit there and Mom gives me kisses and tells me how much she loves me and tells me I am a good boy for sitting here and letting her put the mask on my face....

Mom has to do that 2 times and as soon as she is done, I am out of there....Mom says I sound so much better finally like a normal cat and not one that can't breath & she can here me coming down the hallway....

THANK YOU DR. KATHY FOR HELPING ME AND MY MOM I CAN BREATH, I CAN BREATH AT LAST...AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS.  I LOVES MY DR. KATHY SHE HELPED ME HOORAY.

Mom says she wants to try to take a picture of me while I am getting my inhaler medication so all of my friends can see that I am a good boy, you know it isn't easy for us cats to have something like a mask come at us and then to have it put over our mouth and nose...Mom thinks I am so cute when I have the inhaler on me...hopefully Mom can figure out how to do it or get Dad to take a picture of me for Mom...

Well I gotta go I need to get some rest so when Mom wants me later for the inhaler medication you know what will come next the made dash for lets see over the doggie gate, under the table and chairs or.......

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy heard the phone ring and she knew it was Dr. Kathy calling about my X Rays...it was and now we know what is wrong with me....yepeeeee

I have Asthma/bronchitis and the chronic herpes virus infection from me having upper respitatory infection when Mommy first adopted me...
Dr. Kathy wanted to know how I have been doing and Mom had to tell her that I have had one coughing spell and 2 sneezing spells. Dr. Kathy told Mom she thinks it is because the weather is changing again and I am having my spells..so I have to stay on my antibiotics and immuno for now. Dr. Kathy has to order my inhaler case and then she will phone in a prescription for my inhaler for Mom to pick up, then I will have to go see Dr. Kathy so she can teach Mom how to do the inhaler for me....we should get everything in about a 5 to 10 days...

On no I am going to have to find a better hiding place cause the inhaler will be coming....

Dr. Kathy  says we probably will still have to do the biopsy of my nasel cavity, but we are trying the inhaler first cause Mom has to take care of Tallulah  at the specialist right now for her chemo treatments and then we will deal with me...one at a time Mom says....too much money to do both of us right now....

So finally we have found out after over 2 years what is wrong with me, no thanks to the other Vets Mom took me to, she finally found a great Vet that took the time and effort to help me out and not just give me antibiotics and send me home...my Dr. Kathy went a step further cause she loves helping cats and wanted to help me...guess what I love her for helping me and helping my Mom she is so happy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh Mommy went running when the phone rang today, she new it was Dr. Kathy calling about my blood test results...

I was thinking OH OH here we go again....what test is next....

Dr. Kathey told me and Mom that my white blood count is high probably caused by my respiratory problems and 2nd bacterial infection...she isn't worried about it being high. She told us that I have to stay on my antibiotics until we hear from her again on  what the radiologists says about my xrays in about another 8 to 10 days...so I still have to take that nasty tasting liquid 2 times a day.

I have figured out that Mom  is coming to get me to give me the nasty stuff and I run, I am not making it easy for her no way..but in the end I am a good boy and take that stuff, mind you I don't like it but Mom isn't giving up on getting it down my throat.

I do sound a little better Mom says, but I have sneezed a few times and yesterday I had a coughing spell that worried Mom...Dr. Kathy says to not give up we will get to the bottom on this.

Mom is thinking I will have to go to the specialist for the scope in the nose so we will finally know what has been causing all of my respiratory problems and get on medication to help me, so now we are praying for me too along with Tallulah that we get answers once and for all...til the next update....arrr ye maties from Zeke the Pirate]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I was hiding didn't want to be bother anymore today but I heard Mom talking to my Vet Kathy this evening. See called to let Mom know she had looked at my xrays and she is thinking that maybe it might be asthma/bronchitis, she wants to have the radiologist look at them before she says it is or isn't, but she won't be able to look at them for 2 weeks in the meantime I will be taking my antibiotics for the 2 weeks along with liquid Immuno to help build my immune system, just like Talllulah is taking for her immune system. Vet will call next Tuesday with the results of my blood tests..so we are hoping to have some answers soon....

I finally came out from hiding and Mom got me, took me to the kitchen to give me my dinner that I hadn't eaten yet. After her hand feeding me I got the nasty medicine and guess what I got it on Mom because I shook my head....Mom says I better get used to it she has to give that nasty stuff to me 2 times a day....Mom said she will be wearing a plastic apron when she gives it to me from now on....

Well it is the weekend and I get to rest most of the time until I get that nasty stuff again....XOXOXO Zeke]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As some of my furry friends know I have breathing problems, Mom has been at her wits end to find a Vet that could find outhat is wrong with me...

Mom found a new Vet she had already taken my sisfur Queen Tallulah because of her Cancer and Mom was really happy with her, she loves cats and was so gentle with our little Tallulah....

So this morning, Mom was trying to be sneakie grapping my harness, but I saw what she grapped my harness & carrier, yah you know what
I did I immediatly made a mad dash to hide from Mom....I didn't get far she was right on top of me, she grabed me and on to the bed I went. Now I know I am in trouble no good comes with Mom putting on the harness inside the house and into the carrier I went...you see I don't like to be confined because I was rescued from the side of the road in some kind of container so now I am always scared to go into one,  I was so scared I peed a little....I do that every time 

Now Mom is putting me in the car and buckled in and off we go... the Vet isn't near us Mom has to drive about 10 miles to get there, so the whole time I MOL MOL & MOL....trying to tell me Mom I  want out of here Mom please let me out....but NOOOOO she didn't get me out....

 I go into the Vet office and we wait...Mom is talking to a lady about my records and Tallulah's making sure they got our records from our last Vet....& Tallulah's cancer treatment records.

OH OH I hear my name being called, not good....we go into a room the door is shut and there is a lady there, she asks Mom to get me out so she can weigh me and take my temp...she was trying to get my temp in the ear but the devise didn't work so you guessed it, the behind temp...it was OK and she was asking Mom questions about me and my breathing...

 Mom is holding me and giving me love and telling me I will be OK and my new Vet will get to the bottom of what is wrong with me finally....

My new Vet her name is Kathy she is a very nice Vet and she loves kitties she was so gentle with me, Tallulah told me I would like her and don't tell Mom but I do.

After she talked to Mom, felt my body, listened to my heart which is in good shape, she said it could be several things....

chronic Herpes virus Infection (highl likely)
Inflammatory conditions such as Lymphocytic, plasmacytic      rhinitis/sinusistis
a mass or a polyp in my nasal cavity (less likely)
allergic rhinitis
asthma/bronchitis or
odd resistant bacterical infection

allot of stuff to check for: my Vet said they will start with a chest xray and blood work, so out came the vampire to get my blood again oh no you don't, oh yes we are, it is for your own good....and then they laid me on a table and took my xray...

I am on new medication for now called clindamycin, I have to take it 2 times a day, yah here we go again, Mom has to grab me, hold me and get that nasty tasting stuff in me...wonder how much will end up on Mom...MOL...
So I am finally home and I might say I am so happy too. Mom left and I settled down for my morning nap.....

This was my day at the Vet today and Mom said I will probably have to go back to a specialist to have  a final diagnosis it will require endoscopic biopsy from my nose, they will have to sadate me to do that and Mom is worried, but my Vet said I won't be out for long...

We sure hope all of this will bring an answer to my puzzling breathing problems that have plegged me for a long time.
