Arrival Story: Tigger and Taylor's Story as told by Taylor~~We had a feral mom. We were born in a building across the way from our parents' duplex in October of 1992. My human mom's sister had heard meowing coming from the place where two buildings met. (The buildings were going to be demolished to allow for the widening of the road.) My human uncle took a crowbar and gently broke through. There was a little face peering back at him from the hole he'd created!
Mom took the kitten inside and got milk replacement for him (later to be named Tigger) and a heating pad. The next day my aunt heard more meowing coming from the hole. There was a sweet fluffy black face peering out--me! I would not let the humans pull me out; it took all day. They finally got some tuna and I ventured close enough to the hole for their friend's son to pull me out.
The next day, a Monday, Mom took us to the vet. Ends up we were around 7 days old. Mom and Dad raised us up and decided to keep us.

Bio: Sister to Tigger, adopted sister to Bob, Pippin, Marmelade and Midge. Is afraid of strangers and even our friends. Is affectionate with her mom and dad though. She likes my singing; whenever I start she comes running up and stares into my eyes, rubbing up against me!
****06/23/08 Taylor has hyperthyroidism which has caused her to lose weight rapidly despite her eating like a horse. She is on medication for it now.
****08/12/08 Taylor recently had a blood test and her liver values came back very high. We are waiting to find out what is the cause. Please say a prayer for my girl.
****10/31/08 Taylor's Hyperthyroidism is under control and her liver values are coming down. We will update you when she has her next check up.
****12/26/08 Taylor's blood work came back and her T4 number is elevated. We think it's because she is fighting us giving her the medicine and sometimes we find undigested pills the little bugger is spitting out! Her liver values were better, which is good.
****05/24/09 Good News! Taylor is doing much better. We switched her over to liquid Methimazole, which she doesn't hate as much as she does the pills. She had a blood panel and her thyroid level came back right where it should be! And, her liver and kidney values are normal :) She even gained half a pound over the past month.
****08/06/09Taylor is doing fairly well. She is maintaining her weight, though it is still on the low side. She still has her catitude, especially when we give her the medicine!

Bobbi Boi tagged me to play the Halloween Game! I am to pick my five most favorite things about Halloween, and then tag six other kitties:
1. I like the "treat" in tricks 'o treat! We get special treats on Halloween.
2. Halloween is "my" night since I am a black kitty. It's good that I am safe and sound inside my house. I wouldn't want anyone playing any tricks on me!
3. I enjoy the cold weather, since I have long fur. It's usually nice and cold on Halloween and I can cuddle up in a blanket next to Mom on the couch.
4. We don't have to wear costumes, Dad won't let Mom dress us up! MOL
5. I enjoy the smell of freshly cut pumpkin! Mom likes to carve one for us to have inside to look at; 'cause we don't get trick 'o treaters on our street.

I forgot to mention I had my dental procedure back in June. The vet removed five teeth--two canines and three others. I am doing better now with my healthy mouth! :)
My weight isn't where Mom and Dad would like yet. They would like me to gain another two pounds, but that's a lot for a kitty to gain! I eat very well and it seems to my parents that I feel good. My checkup is due in another few months. I'll keep you posted!
Love,
Taylor
