Arrival Story: I adopted Lucy for my Mom and Dad shortly before my Dad passed away from cancer. Lucy lived with Mom and entertained her for almost a year before Mom got too sick to care for her and then she came to live at my house with Rufus and the two dogs I had at that time. She hated it at first and attacked the dogs but adjusted to us and ended up playing with Madison. Lucy is very opinionated and likes to pick on the others if she can get away with it. The only one she cannot pick on is Sydney, who even though she is the youngest, she seems to be our alpha cat. We didn't know how old she was so I made her first birthday on my Dad's birthday of that year so my Mom would have something positive to think about since Dad was gone. I worry she is really much older than I think she is.

My staff person thinks she is so smart - she gave us special treats yesterday - bonita flakes - but when I went to eat mine she tried to quietly close the bathroom door with me inside. Well I know what THAT means - the crate is coming upstairs. So I cried and complained and wouldn't eat my flakes and yes it was my turn to go into the box. But at least I didn't have to go to the white coats and get poked. I went to visit friends at a shop where they comb me and make me pretty. I pretend I don't like it and talk the whole time I am there about how horrible they are to me but I really felt good when I got home yesterday. My staff person kept telling me how beautiful I am and how nice I smell. I guess she can live, for now.
My staff person has been on overload lately with our health issues. I hear her talk about me .... being in early stages of liver/kidney failure ... whatever THAT means.
I've been throwing up a lot lately. The other day she caught me getting ready to throw up and aimed me onto the kitchen floor so I didn't mess on the rugs but I fixed her the next time she was gone and did it on the stairs and rug - hehe.
Yesterday she came home from the shelter where she volunteers with a medicine for me to try. Yuck - she crushes it into my canned food but I know it's there. I try to eat around it but it's not working. She says it will be good for me and if I'm hungry enough I will eat it. We will see ....... I'm a diva princess and I will get what I want, when I want it and she will fail.
My visit was just awful. Mom tricked me into going in the bathroom to eat and then she closed the door so she could catch me - evil mommy. As usual I was good once in the crate though and didn't make a fuss.
The man in the white coat wanted to do bloodwork for my thyroid but they were having trouble getting blood. It took 3 tries to get enough blood. Then I was allowed to leave. I was really mad. I bit mom in the car when she put her fingers in the crate. Then I hid from everyone for a while after we got home.
The results came in yesterday and there is nothing wrong with my thyroid. Which is good, I guess but it doesn't really explain why I am losing hair on my back. My kidney function is a little high but he said that was to be expected with a girl my age so mom is going to try some rescue remedy in the water and see if it helps calm me down. It certainly can't hurt for the whole group to be on it. Mom is going to check out cat fairies.com to see what else they can offer in ideas. Hopefully this will help calm us all down and I will stop losing hair.
