Mancat Monday

 

Hi there!  I don't get to post very much so when I get the chance I grab it!

 

Dad was working on cleaning out the workshop today so I got to snoopervise from a basket in a kennel.  Mom put it under the willow tree so I'd have lots of shade.  Still she had to move me around a lot during the day.   I thought it was pawsome! 

 

See, I lost my outdoor privileges when I lost my hearing.   I used to love to spend my days in the garden beds, underneath the shady plants where no one could see me.  Mom would find me by listening to my loud snoring!  I'm not so good at hide and seek.   Now because I can't hear anything mom says it's not safe for me anymore.   I'll go with what she says because I know she loves me.

 

Now, being in a safe kennel is the only way I can go out in my yard.

 

It's supposed to be 100 degrees on Monday so I think I'm going to be stuck inside where it's cool.

Bennette's Update

 

Thank you for all of you who purred for me while I was having a REALLY un-fun week.

 

As you can see by my very special certificate, I was a VERY brave girl on Thursday at the vet place.  They ended up pulling 2 of my icky teeth.  They were causing me pain and I'm glad they are out of there!   I'm recovering well and I'm eating lots of food to make up for having my food so rudely taken from me Wednesday night.

 

My awesome boyfurriend Sylvester teleported over and filled me with niptinis. We practiced the song of our people all night long!  I was ready to sing at the top of my lungs on the car ride to the v-e-t but Dad reported that I was pretty quiet.  Maybe it was the niptini hangover...

 

So now I get to eat soft food for 2 weeks.  I go back for a re-check at that time and then I suppose they'll let me know if I can eat crunchies again.

 

I'm so happy last week is behind me and every day I feel lots better.

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.
