That's the ugliest cat I've ever seen. Now if you told me it was a bearded dragon, I'd say it was very cute for a reptile!!

Sia, thoughts and prayers go out to you. I am thinking of you and know how hard this time is. RG...you should submit those pics for a prize! Goofy is too funny, I would love to watch the cat play with him. I always enjoy watching our cats play with the pups. My fav is when the pups see a cat for the first time, they all act in different ways!!

You know how our furry loves always find the bestest places in which to snooze? Well, check out my little Costa man... Zachsmom had brought along the afghan she's crocheting for Ginger. This a.m. she was packing stuff up, getting ready to head back home. She had the afghan on top in her suitcase, with the lid open. We were drinking coffee in the living room, and then she walked back in to the bedroom. This is what she saw:
(Apparently, he approves of the afghan!)

MGA, Tori's fine. Her spay appointment is in two weeks' time. Paige had to go first because she was behaving like a total sl*t and sneaking out the door every chance she got to consort with TWO stray toms out on the front porch!! Tori has handled her "monthlies" in a very ladylike fashion, so I thought I'd let her wait till we got Paige-y through her operation and recuperation. Thanks for asking about her! She is just fine! Here's a photo of Tori taken on March 11th:

Physical removal, Pamy! Reach in, lift out limp and dead weight cat, close lid, laugh at sulky look. Actually, he scampered out on his own first, cause ZM chased him out. Then she mentioned she thought it would've made a cute pic, so we kinda sorta "staged" it. I put him there and, of course, it was so comfy, he just settled right in. He LOVES to lay on top of things... clothes, laundry, whatever...

Posted this a week ago in another folder. Thought I'd fill you in about the old man Johnny. That's the one in the picture everyone so kindly fixed for me... He has restrictive cardiomyopathy - large heart muscle walls = small atricular/ventricular space = heart has to work harder. No real treatment, just keep him comfortable and stress free. Abdominal lymph nodes, which are inflamed, could be due to the mouth mass or lymphoma. Didn't bother poking the nodes for biopsy. No real treatment for lymphoma so if I know it won't really matter. No mets to lungs - a good thing if there is any cancer. Treatments he's currently on are contraindicated for his heart condition! Can't discontinue treatments he'd be in worse shape. Treatment #1 is prednisolone - keeps him from vomiting all the time. Gonna try to reduce that dosage to every other day. Treatment #2 subq fluids to hydrate and keep urinary crystals from building up causing a potentially blocked urethra. Gonna keep an eye on how long it takes him to process the fluids. Both treatments are very important. To put it bluntly - poor old man is dying. I have to keep him comfortable as I can. Right now he's crying his little heart out -confusion from the anesthesia and he wants to eat but his mouth is bothering him! I have him on pain meds, naturally. Gonna be a long night! Since then.... The mass in his mouth came back as an inflammation - no cancer seen! He's doing better. Still moving pretty slow but eating and doing all the other stuff he should, and where he should be... Not really looking to dump on you guys - just keeping you informed... Mouse is still doing GREAT! Did I mention she had a cystotomy about 2 weeks ago. Had a stone in her bladder.....waiting for the analysis to come back on that. She's healing fine - sutures are removed tomorrow! YAY!!!

Hey Ruiner! Glad to hear the old man is doing better. Check with your vet about Diltiazem for him. Costa has cardiomyopathy, too, and he's been on Dilt for two years now (it's a human beta blocker). He gets 60mg a night (capsule form, dumped into a spoonful of canned food). The last visit to the cardiologist, she said she couldn't tell he had a murmur. He goes back in June for an EKG, but she's pretty sure that, although the heart wall will show a thickening, the Dilt has been doing what it's supposed to do... helping the blood flow thru his heart easier. My little Kassie Mouse sends kitty nose kisses to your mouse!! I bet she's gonna love having those sutures removed!!!! <grin> ETA: I had the vet transfer his prescription to my pharmacist. I now pay about $35 a month for his meds; the vet wanted $100 a month! Since Diltiazem is a people drug. They originally prescribed tabs, but I couldn't get him to eat 'em (and I refuse to pill him). My pharmacist found the 60mg cap formulation, and it works perfectly. Obviously, since he's doing so well!

Wow, whoever gets her will need to have limber fingers to provide enough ear scritches to keep her happy! Very cute.

Cute kitty Lucy. Mine likes to nap on top of the monitor -- her very own space heater and sometimes watches me type or follows the cursor with her eyes. Don't you just love em!

Cats are so funny, they just want to get between whatever you're doing. Lucy is too 'big' to get on top of the monitor. Instead she cruises around the monitor and bats at the cursor. Then she takes a break and watches the birds outside, and then she finally settles down on my shoulder (not so comfy), my lap, or on a chair near me. Such an exhausting life!! Thanks for listening!
