Moon, thinking about your little one and hoping all is well. Sia, everytime I see a pic of your new kitty, well.......awwwwwwwww. She's just so cute. You and your cats, other animals, children and that 48 year old man child thing sound like a happy family.

Happy on the outside sometimes, Wendo; crying most of the time. But thanks! Moondance, I am praying for the best possible outcome for Brutus. Hope he comes home soon and heals right up with no complications. Katoncoast, go to www.softpaws.com to see the vinyl claw caps that I bought for my kitties. The kitten (Buffy) is wearing clear ones on her 23 toes because that's the only color the kitten size comes in, otherwise, she'd be sporting purple! They're soft and keep the cats from clawing the furniture and prevent them from climbing straight up the back of the couch, but they still can get up really high by simply jumping--or by jumping to progressively higher spots in the room. My kitten can get up onto my VERY HIGH double bed quite easily now that she's used to her SoftPaws. They do make noise, though; you can hear the kitties coming across the hardwood floor, the laminate floor, and even on linoleum! But they're stealthy as ever on carpet! Badabing, that does really look like my kitten in the boot! How cute!

O'sGrandma, I keep my laundry room door closed at all times, but I keep a close watch on the little one because she's so curious. Thanks for your concern; that's a good reminder. I once lit a fire in my woodburning stove with LIZ inside it! I even shut the door, but she made a psychic connection with me and I turned right around and opened the door. Out she popped with her tail hairs singed. I called my next-door neighbor to come over, a guy who was on the E-squad. I think he was more worried about me than the cat; I nearly DIED over almost hurting my dear kitty! She was entirely unharmed, however.

Hugs to Moon, Cowboy, and Brutus. I hope that "yucky" thing they removed from Brutus Kitty was just yucky and nothing serious!

Thank you I just came in to check on him and he has his ecollar off and he didn't bother the drain... did a great job of cleaning himself though. He will get this thing out on Saturday. He was doing very good last night but he seems really perky today. I am sending white light and good vibes for the biopsy! He says Hi btw

Good luck Brutus!
And a special hug to Liz! I get very sentimental about older kitties.

Yep JB, it is that wonderful plastic cone - satellite dish they wear after surgery I came home from work for a little bit and we just had a BIG love session. He really wants to go out of the office but he is better in here for a while. Good sign though. He likes the warm compresses I have to put on the stitches every few hours and he doesn't mind when I clean the drain. He such a great cat! And so handsome too. I need to find a pix of him so you can see This is encouraging to me because he is healing so nicely and fast, I think it is a good sign but I am still wanting that biopsy to be good!

It's great that he is doing so well. And remember even if the biopsy turns out to be bad, they got it all, right? Good vibes are being sent out to Brutus and Moonie!

I was hoping to come and hear news about Brutus. Glad that's he's doing better. Sending positive thoughts that the biopsy comes back negative and everything is well and good!

From where they went in they said they got it all from that area. I talked to Vsmart(poster here and friend)and she said that since it was hard and all in one piece, that was a good sign so I hoping!!!!!

Here is a pix of Queen Elizabeth the first. I wanted to show you why the things that are put on animals are called Elizabethan collars.

This isn't my Ophelia, but it's close enough, although her eyes are a bit larger and a deeper blue.

Nancy, congratulations on getting a new kitty! That is so great! How about Ginger or Gingerbread? (I think the names are evocative of her coloring and the season when she came into your life.) I found a pic of a full-grown tortoise shell and am posting it here for reference:

Moonie, I hope Brutus continues to do well. That is so nice that you are using hot compresses! Hope the word from the vet is good, hon.

Thanks Herck (I have been thinking about Ed) Brutus is at the Doctor with Cowboy. He said I was too much of a mess to go. So I am sitting here worried sick. I hope they remove the drain (that would make it easier on him and wonder if they have any results back from the biopsy. I am praying!

Aww, I like Kanga! How about a pic when you get a chance, Nancy? Thanks, Moonie. I am sitting here with my nose in a nasal mister he just bought me. (Poor HP's old nose just won't behave.) Ed is doing pretty well!

Brutus is back from the Vet and he has fibrous carcinoma The good news though is the Dr feels he got it all and it was in a good place to be able to so. I am very sad but at the same time I know what I have to do. It doesn't sound as if it has spread. We have to keep an eye on his respiratory but it seems fine. I guess that it is the first sign. Anyway He looks great and it very perky...keep good thoughts for him please I love him very much

Will do, Moondance. I know how much you adore Brutus. So good to read that he is perky. Wow, Nancy! Great news... I sort of like the Kanga-Roo connection. How is she doing? This is kind of odd because our foster kitty arrived yesterday. She was a stray that my daughter rescued, had spayed, etc. My daughter and my niece were roommates with four cats! Too many so this cat was destined for Boston and my other niece. Boston niece is not quite ready for the kitty so we took her. I just hope that I don't fall in love because we are only keeping her until Thanksgiving or Christmas. What a difference between old, tired cats and hyper young ones. I had forgotten how far and how high they can jump! This cat, her name is Fiore (flower in Italian because when my niece first found her she was in a flower bed), has a half- gray, half-fawn beige colored face. She looks as if she is wearing a drama/comedy mask. Her paws are all white and she has a white bib on her chest. The rest of her is a mottled gray and fawn beige. What do they call that kind of a cat? So far, so good. She is very loving, but fairly skittish yet.
