Friday with Allie

Hi furriends, Allie here.  As some of you who are on Facebook know, I had to go to the VET yesterday.

Hey Mom.........why am I in this PTU in your car???

OH NO!!!!!  Don't stop HERE!!!

Please have mercy....let me OUT OF HERE!!

Hey Cheryl, I really like you but.....you're going to put that WHERE????

Holy Carp!  I'm OUT OF HERE!!

Mom Sharon here.....
Allie did have a VET visit yesterday.  On Wednesday afternoon she spent about an hour walking all over the house howling and yowling and sounding really pitiful.   She quieted down and Mom went to choir practice and got home about 9 pm.  Allie jumped up on the bed and proceeded to paw on the bedspread.  Since Allie is the queen of Machine Paw, I didn't think too much of it until I looked again and saw a giant wet puddle.

I put Allie and Ellie in our big cage with food, water and litter box to monitor them.  Nothing strange happened but I was worried.  At 3:45 yesterday we went to the VET (3 weeks in a row on Thursday...I'm going to skip Thursday next week.)

From all of her actions and the fact that she shows no symptoms of UTI, we think it's behavioral.  Allie and Tamir were buddies.  She loved to bite his ears and play with his tail and they both slept together on the bed (in the spot she went on).  We'll still monitor for UTI but we think she's okay.  I sent for refills for my Feliway diffusers and for the spray.  We think she's just missing our special ManCat.

Thanks for all the purrs and prayers...........I really didn't need this right now.....

One nice thing....we didn't make it to the Blessing of the Pets and I got this nice email from Deacon Mike who did the blessing:


""Hi Meow meow's mommie....Your kittys were a part of the blessing ceremony...the kittys were mentioned and I asked for prayers for them...So you and the kittys were there in spirit....Thanks for all you do"



That made me leaky eyed, in a good way!

Farewell to Gentleman Beau

The Cat Blogosphere has lost another icon.  Gentleman Beau has gone to the Bridge to be with his Mom Cathy.

Beau's Sunday Sermon's were a favorite of ours and he had his own blog too Beau's Blog.  If you don't know Beau's story you can read about his Mom Cathy's illness on his blog.  Cathy passed away a couple of days after that last post and Beau went to live with Rose and the Royals.  They had a rough start but Rose had the love and patience to win Beau over.  We know the whole Cat Blogosphere is grateful to Rose for watching over Beau.  We read that Rose is going to shut down her blog.  We hope she reconsiders.  Losing Beau hurts enough, we don't want to lose the Royals too.

RIP Sweet Beau.  Say hi to our Angel Sniffie.
