Thursday

Update: Tazz had her first sub-q fluids about two hours ago.
Mommy Margaret held Tazz and Mommy ML did the rest.
It went purrfectly, Tazz was such a good girl.
Tazz was up prancing around right afterwards, while Mommie ML and Margaret sort of collapsed on the sofa.
Thanks, Peggy, for all your help and tips.

Sol, here. Practicing my "serious" look.

And here I am with a big smile on my face. Can you see it?
I'm happy because I stole a piece of brown packing paper when Mommy ML and KC were wrapping auction packages. I love brown paper.

Mom ML wanted to thank everyone for their comments and support after the loss of Bandit earlier this week. She tried for years to get him to become an indoor cat. She said that is what hurts so much, knowing his life didn't have to end so soon. If she could have gotten to him sooner, before he became so wild and feral.

Later today, Mommies ML & Margaret will give Tazz her first sub-q fluids all by themselves. I'll be back with a full report on how that goes... Sol

Farewell, Bandit

Four neighbors came to tell me Bandit had gone to the Bridge early this morning. He was hit by a car on Westpark Drive. Margaret and I got a box and wrappings and got him off the busy road.

My first photos of Bandit were taken in July 2007.

We had a routine where he showed up about 6 p.m. everynight for supper. He would walk me to get the mail, rubbing up against my leg and mewing.

He could never be persuaded to give up his outdoor lifestyle, though countless people tried to adopt him, including me. I was the only one he would allow to rub his tummy and play with, at least that was what he told me.

He will be very missed.

Missy Blue Eyes

Oh, my, I am in Diamond Emerald Eyes T-13 Romantic Cats.
I just cannot believe the beautiful graphic or the incredible company.

Mommie ML and Daddy Charley have been running nonstop.
Yesterday they drove Mommie Margaret and Tazz around to find out what is wrong with her. The vets did tests and we should know later today. Mommie ML made them give Tazzie some pain medications, because she is crying and howling all the time. She finally slept all night (so did Mommie Margaret).

Tazz Update!
The vet just called with the test results. Tazz is in the early stages of renal failure. Her heart is very healthy, however. He wants to keep her on antibiotics for a few more days and then remove several rotten teeth and the growth under her tongue. The vet said with surgery, Tazz could easily live a few more years!!!
Auntie Deb and I will be setting up a new auction to raise money for Tazz's expenses. We will make an announcement soon.
Thank you for all your purrs and purrayers, they are really working!

Wednesday

Sol and Tazz sneak a kiss on Sunday (before Auntie Deb left).

Tazz is sick. The vet discovered some kind of growth in her mouth during her grooming yesterday. It is most likely benign, but is causing Tazz to be in pain and unable to eat. We have a vet appointment at 9 a.m. The vet at the groomers said if the growth is removed, Tazz could easily live several more years.

Mom Margaret is not taking this well. She is a widow and has spent almost all her savings fighting pancreatic cancer. Auntie Deb and I are going to post some really cool items to raise money to pay for Tazzie's expenses.

pee ess: Tonight, Faith Boomerang played with her Star Chaser for the first time since her LadyGarden-ectomy!

Toosday

Auntie Deb is recovering from her plane ride, which was really hard on her. Think she tried to fly too soon.
During the day she is confined to the first story of the house, with a bed on the sofa by the fireplace. Her five kitties are all over her.
Faith Boomerang, or Baby Tortie as I still call her, is recovering. She seems to be even more loving and cuddly since the surgery. She and Missy Blue Eyes are often seen napping together (!).
KC's cold is clearing up, although some of it was normal hairball activity.
I know we took care of Auntie Deb while she healed, but she also took care of us. I learned a lot about caring for my kitties from her and I can now make some great meals.
Deb should start blogging again sometimes this week.
We also have really special items to auction for our Sickly CB Cats, items we picked out together while shopping -- I"ll be posting them later this week.

Good News, Bad News

Faith Boomerang is healing and doing great.

This afternoon Auntie Deb leaves to go home!
That's our "bad news", but it's "good news", too.
She really misses her kitties.
And she will be back blogging later this week.

Faith Boo At The Vet

These photos were taken at Dr. Smith's office Thursday afternoon when we brought her home.

We got her new pain meds Friday morning. These contain a sedative, she is doing fantastic now. She started eating and drinking again.

Don't scroll down unless you want to see a photo of Faith Boomerang's incision.

Purrs Needed

Please send lots of purrs for Faith Boomerang.
She had a very rough night.
Auntie Deb stayed with her all night to make sure she didn't get worse.
All the other cats spent the night outside Auntie Deb's door, purring and talking to Faith Boo.

Update!
Dr. Smith said it was a reaction to the pain meds that caused the problems last night and this morning. We are going to pick up the new meds that also calm her down. Now all I have to do is calm down, hee hee.

Faith Boomerang Comes Home

We get little Faith Boomerang from the Cat Hospital today.

She had to spend Tuesday at the vets for fasting, which is very difficult to do with 5 brothers and sisters. Then she stayed overnight on Wednesday for observation. We can pick her up about 2 p.m. We'll post photos when we get home.

Update!
Faithy Boo is home and happy.
We have lots of photos which we will post later.
Thank you for all the wonderful support and purrs.

Someone is picking the flowers from my Garden....

Auntie Deb: "I have an update for everyone. Faith is "boomeranging" her way through recovery from the surgery. She woke up, ate and then went back to sleep to dream about pink mousies. ML is greatly relieved, as are all us!

I would like to tell all my friends that I will be back to blogging next Tuesday! I can't wait to visit with everyone!"

Love, Auntie Deb

Faith Boomerang is in recovery and doing fine!
