Thanks, Ophiliasgrandma! Now I do know!

First off - cute pics all. Way tooo many to mention by name, just know that it is enjoyable to see other's kitties!

Right now I'm just a little down. My little grey cat, Mouse, has a bladder stone that keeps growing. Tried dietary management to reduce the stone but it's hard when all the others are on a hypoallergenic diet!

Yesterday I had her in for an ultrasound to check the stone - almost twice as big as 3 months ago! I took her to our other clinic yesterday to stay till her surgery Monday. I ride the bus and didn't want to drag her in her carrier at 6am on Monday morning. I miss her little grey face around the house...poor little thing is probably wondering why I dumped her there!

We also took the old man in for his 6 month checkup. He's lost a little weight. It's a struggle keeping weight on an 18 yo cat. Other than saying he looks old, the dr didn't palpate any masses, thank god, or find much of a concern on examination other than dropped hocks. Dropped hocks are usually a sign of a potassium deficiency - easily corrected by adding it to his subq fluids. His lab work will be back Monday and we will see if anything else is an issue - also to see if he really is potassium deficient...

Sound real professional, don't I? I miss my little Mouse-mouse. I know she's okay but still...

Sorry for the downer...will post Monday when I get home to update you all on the surgery.

Thx for listening!

I am so sorry, Ruiner, to hear about Mouse-mouse. I've just asked God to have the surgery be textbook with no surprises.

Ophelia's nickname is Mouse.

Thx for the concern Ophiliasgrandma and for having a talk with the 'big man'.

Mouse is a great nickname, ain't it!

Someday I'll tell the story of how she got her name....

Well, little Mouse didn't have her surgery today - too many emergencies ahead of her.

We scheduled her for Wednesday - the next day we have available for surgery of this type.

Thx for all your concern everyone - will keep you posted....

Hey Ruiner... did Mouse Mouse go home with you? Poor little thing... I hope things go well and that big nasty stone goes bye bye! Costa and Kassie send kitty kisses to your Mouse!

I posted this in a different thread - but thought you'd all get a kick outta it...

..well here goes...

We're all trying to be nice to little Miss Mouse-mouse since we're leaving her at the clinic until surgery, bus rides and all ya know. Last night we made the decision to leave her out to run around and caged the clinic cat instead. Nice of everyone to think of her, right?

Wrong!

7am I get a call that my cat is a freak...she's run amok! They can't catch her to put her back in her cage. She bit one of the techs trying to catch her. She also trashed the treatment/kitty room.

The tech on the phone, in a very loud voice, says 'I'm waking her up to tell her this'. I'm usually up early anyways but I'll tell you that voice woke me right up! After I stopped laughing, which didn't go over well, I told them be a rough as they need with the little freak to catch her. She's a tough little kitty, you won't break her. Still laughing btw...

I call back 1/2 hour later, they caught her. I think they just wore each other out....LOL!

I'm still ROFL!!!!

{{{Ruiner and Mouse}}} You and Mouse are in my thoughts! I was a nervous wreck when I had to take my little Mouser kitty to the vet to have her fixed.

I can't imagine if I had to take her in for something like that! Give your Mouse lots of hugs! Take care!

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes for a smooth surgery with little Mouse.

Costacat - the whole thing is the little one doesn't realize she's not well it's just that she has to go the the litterbox a lot more often...

Running amok is normal for her. She's the type of cat that if she ran into the wall playing fetch, she fetches little soft balls, she'd probably expect you to keep throwing them at the wall so she could practice wall jumps or something!

If there's something to be done, she does it. If it looks like something needs to be done, she does it. If she thinks something needs to be done, it gets done...I think you get the picture!

I'm not so sure she thinks she's a cat...

To all!

Mouse came through just fine! Found the stone right away. Short anesthesia. Recovering groggily at the hospital. Doing just fine.

No concerns at this point. She'll be home by friday at the latest. Just to make sure she's urinating okay. She peed well tonight, yay!

Thanks for all your concern!

That's wonderful Ruiner!

Well, our little super bowl kittens are getting so big. They are the cutest things! We think that we have found homes for them, which is wonderful, so now we will start the task of box training and seeing if they will like to try some kitty food.
