Bennette's Update

 

Hi there furriends!

 

Some of you already know that I've been sick.   I've been in a room all by myself so mom and dad can monitor everything about me.   What goes in...what comes out.  I feel like a science experiment.

 

There is good news and bad news.  The bad news is that what comes out of me is way too squirty.  Sorry for TMI, but hey, we're furriends here and I'm not holding back on you.

 

The other potentially bad news is that I either have the worst case ever of Irritable Bowel Syndrome or I might have intestinal lymphoma.   Mom doesn't want to put me through a biopsy if she can prevent that.   So right now I'm on medication and I'm trying new foods.

 

They hypoallergenic stuff didn't work so now I'm on a high fiber, low fat food which seems to be helping.   I also got a shot of B12.   So I'm not as squirty as I once was.  Again, sorry for the TMI.  You're my furriends, right?   That's part of the good news.

 

The other good news is that I had lost weight, but I'm now gaining it back.  I was up to a whole 7 pounds on Sunday morning!

 

I'm kind of liking not having to deal with the others, but it does get lonesome sometimes.  Mom and dad visit me as much as they can.

Bennette's Big Day

 

I heard that Ginger spilled the news about me going to the v-e-t place on Tuesday.  I had an ultrasound.  They were all worried that I had some serious stuff going on.   Well...this is me, after my tests.   They said I passed my ultrasound with flying colors!  Nothing obviously wrong with me.  They are now going to give me new food to see if I'm having food allergies/sensitivities.   The new stuff is duck and pea. 

 

They looked in my mouth and found a bad tooth so on Thursday I have to go back to the v-e-t place and get a tooth pulled...and who knows what else they'll do while they're digging around in my mouth.

 

The worst part is that they will take away my food at 7pm Wednesday night.

 

That's downright barbaric!

So you think that with my announcing all my news that my mom could get some decent photos of me?  

 

I'm taking applications for a new photographer.   Complaining about it being dark and not wanting to use a flash are not acceptable excuses!

Tabby Tattletale Tuesday

 

Hi there!  I bet you've missed me!  I have lots to tell you.

 

We have so much drama!

 

See, all the girl cats have been in a swirl...and Bennette has been throwing kitty punches and being VERY cranky....and Figaro gets ganged up on by all the little girls (Cory, Ellie and Bennette)...and it's just not fair.

 

And then...Grete has to run for cover when the drama starts..

 

Sheesh.

 

Here, let me demonstrate to give you an idea....

 

Hiss!!

 

Turns out that mom and dad figured out that Bennette has not been feeling well and while she is a total badass, she doesn't normally throw punches. 

 

Mom and dad took Bennette to the vet on Friday.  As some of you may know Bennette has chronic pancreatitis.  When she got examined she was VERY painful in the area around her pancreas.  So now she is scheduled for an ultrasound on Tuesday.  That's today!

 

She goes in at 11:30am and the exam will happen in the afternoon.

 

Our job is to purr for her and hope it all turns out ok and there is nothing more serious going on.

 

I mean...she may be a badass, but I love her.
