Hello Mr. Sock Monkey!

So my 9th Birthday is May 25!! But apparently my birthday gift came super early so mom decided to let me open it.

OF COURSE, my siblings had a test drive before me 'cause I'm not spoiled and have to investigate things ASAP like ALL my siblings. Heck, even the dog wanted to test drive my gift but mom said, "NOOOOOOOO" 'cause he's so big and would stretch it out :)

I got a Sock Monkey bed!!! Ooooooo! Mom has a weakness for buying pet beds. She can't "help it". :) Once they all tried it out, mom scooped me up and put me in it. I ran of course! But a few minutes later I tried it out and I quite like it!

I have an old bed, the "Hondo bed" that my nephew and nieces got me for Catmas about 4 years ago. It looks like me but the twins steal it. So now I'm claiming this as MINE. Check out my picture!

Achewwwwwwwwww

So I think I'm getting a kitty cold as I'm sniffling. Mom said all of us cats are driving her nuts!! Sick, tons of vet visits, and Tiski needs a blood panel as he has to see the Cardiologist again for a 9 month recheck. Those are pricey $600 visits.

I hope to get Clavamox 'cause while I sneeze all the time in general, I sounds stuffy and snotty.

On the plus side, Boogie is looking better so that's good. Mom was worried after he finished the meds, but it seems to have worked ::knock on wood::

Mittens is also going in for a recheck with the GOOD vet.

Mom will be turning gray like me at this rate MOL :)

I'm a piece of artwork!!

So a while back mom had the talented Jill Jones paint Tiskers and Boogie. Since mom's birthday is this month, she had wanted the rest of us painted. So while there was a waiting list, mom stood in line, patiently waiting. Well MY portrait and Fido's are done! She's almost done with Porkers, Mittens, and yes, even the doggy Ethan!

Speaking of... I'm going to post a picture of him SLEEPING and resting his head on my bum!! I don't mind the dog, I sorta like him :)

Check out my profile pic for my new portrait!

Weird

I got an email today (well mom did) that I was a DDP but I don't see my handsome self on the diary central page.

Flees!! Better not be from my doggy!

Vet followup!

Thursday at 2pm I'm going to the VET with (of all siblings) Ethan. I'm going in for my monthly re-check. So far I haven't had an accident! Mom is loving the Dr. Elsy's litter (no dust!!) and she thinks the combo of the new boxes, litter, feliway, AND my herbs are helping. Again, she wishes she knew WHAT one was the biggest help but oh well.

Mom is also going to ask WHAT is in the herbs that make my coat no longer dandruffy/greasy! Unlike Boogie, I HATE HATE HATE baths! But I needed one each year as my back got all greasy and my dander is BIG BIG chunks. That's something the Holistic vet noticed. Since the herbs? My coat is NO longer greasy, and the dander is gone! PLUS my bad mistakes are gone? *knock on wood*

Ethan goes in for a nail clipping. Mom tries to cut his black nails but is afraid of cutting his quick. When she cuts his nails, she takes of like .00000000000000001 off MOL!!!

Many Thank You's!!!

I'm Cat of the Day!!!

Wowsas! Mom was about to shut off the computer when she saw she had an email from Catster on her phone. I can't type well on the iphone and prefer the keyboard if you will :)

Unlike my siblings, I don't get honored as much 'cause I'm a shy, quiet cat. I'm happy to report *knock on wood* that my belly, "oopsies" haven't showed up so again, mom's hoping my herbs, HB Three Seeds Combo 300, continue to work until my followup in a few weeks.

Enough chit chat, I'm going to get pampered!!

Poo and belly updates

Meow!

Many many thank meows to my friends with their valuable feedback!!!

Mom admits she was very skeptical when the lady vet specialized in holistic, herbal treatment before medicine (she would obviously if need be!). Like we said, it is worth a try!

So far I haven't poo'ed on the floor, but my poo's are still a bit smooshy and not 100% firm so I'm on Metronidazole liq 100/ml 2x a day until gone. I'm still on my herbal pills 2x a day too.

Since then we have bought the 40 lb Precious Cat clumping litter (that odorless cat attract Dr. what's-his-face's name, blue bag), 2 GIGANTIC non covered boxes that have HIGH sides, and a Litter Locker II Hygenic Soiled Litter Disposal System that's coming tomorrow via amazon, mom's favorite place to shop.

Dad ('cause mom doesn't like litter duty) is going to use Nature's Cure (that red/white bottle) to clean the Litter Robots and to eliminate any prior smells in the coming days. Mom just can't bring herself to get rid of working robots (she hasn't scooped in 5 years with those!!). She might just use 1 'cause there are 6 of us.

I suppose it's better that I poo and don't Ur-in-eight on the floor but poo'in CLOSE to the box isn't good either. To think, this all started after my first and only UTI... I know mom is still a bit sad, and she really didn't want to have to spend so much trying to alter things but I know she loves me... Even though she was really REALLY upset the other day, she loves me. I do feel bad though and hope this stuff works.

BIG MEOW OUT to Albus for all his help!! He too has a holistic vet and they live near us!!! If this doesn't work (I have a follow up appointment in a month) mom is bringing a list of the meds Albus' is on to get feedback and maybe some of the same herbs!!

Bathroom woes :(

So last night mom saw a small stinky on the floor OUTSIDE the box and a small pile of soft stinky by the small stinky. Then 20 minutes later I yacked up yellow fluid, and then 2 hours later another TINY stinky on the floor...

Ever since I had my UTI 3-4 years ago, I on occasion associate the pain with the box. Our usual vet wasn't in so we saw another vet, Dr. Hoffman. She is a believer in holistic medicine and said my food, Blue Buffalo is a great food, but there's no medicine to cure my issue.

Mom knew that and they talked about Feliway, more boxes, odorless litter, etc.,

So I'm on: HB Three Seeds Combo 300. My stool checked out fine like it does every year, and if I'm still having soft stinkies by Thurs/Fri, she'll prescribe something else.

We shall see... I'm also going to check out a store she recommended that sells a lot of holistic foods (probably the stuff Boogie gets from Murrman). She said see if they can recommend a food that has even less Carbs. She seemed nice, and mom and dad feel that since there's no cure for my oopsies, it's worth a try. It's a hard thing to "cure" as mom has read.

She also suggested replacing boxes every 2 years but I don't think she knows much about Litter Robots as mom's not spending another $600 for my divo ways!!! Mom was in tears yesterday as she hates that I do this... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dreamboat #71b!!!

I'm tickled pink now!!! My entire family just received word that we've made it on Samoa's Dreamboat list!! I know right?

I think this calls for a shopping spree no?

What an honor!! Like my mentor, Elle Woods, if you dream big, it can happen!! I'm meowless! You can read all about our household of dreamboats *HERE*

This is my first honor of 2012 too!! *grins* Ok, time to shop!! Thanks Samoa!!! (Who first rocked the boa on Catster)
