Tuxie Toes Tuesday with Cousin Trooper

I'm trying to snooze here.....sheesh....what's the fixation with my toes?  Oh yeah....they are super cute!!

I wanted to update you on my Mom.  She's not doing very well at all.  There is a hospital bed here now and she's sleeping most of the time.  I try to stay as close to her as I can.  I'm afraid she's going to be leaving me soon and that makes me sad.  Please keep purring and praying for her.

This post was pre-done over the weekend.  My heart is hurting because my Mom went to the human Bridge yesterday at 2:05.  I will miss her very much.  The Furkids Mom let me see her and told me that everything would be okay.  Thank you all for your purrs and prayers over these last months.  My Mom would always smile when the Furkids Mom would show her your comments.  The Furkids Mom is hurting a lot now too, she was friends with my Mom for over 20 years.

Isn't this a beautiful graphic that Ann from Zoolatry made?  My Mom was so happy when she got to meet Ann and Maggy and Zoey.

I'll be okay.....I actually have a new, very wonderful home with a good friend of my Mom's and will be an only cat.  I was going to go with the Furkids but this is even better.

The Furkids wanted to let you know that their Mom knew things were happening fast and pre-planned lots of blog posts.  They may not visit a lot in the next few days, but they thank you all for your support.

Tuxie Toes Tuesday with Trooper

Wow....that title has a lot of "Ts" in it!!!

Cousin Trooper wanted to show you a close up of his smoochable toes.

  He's taking a little snooze but wants to thank you all for your continued purrs and prayers for his Mom,
our Auntie El.

ManCat Monday with Cousin Trooper

Well it's ManCat Monday again and I'm here to ask for purrs and prayers for my Mom. She'll be getting her port today and then will be having chemo again on Wednesday.  

If you biggify and look closely, you can see two of me in this picture.  Two of me...two requests...yep...that works!!

Thanks,

Cousin Trooper

ManCat Monday with Cousin Trooper

Hi everyone, Cousin Trooper here.  I thought I would give you an update on my Mom.  She's having a port put in this week to make her chemo and blood draws easier.  We hope she only has a couple more chemos but we know the weekly blood draws will go on for a while.  She still has a lot of fatigue but I do my best to help her.  We play chase the bug and fetch the teaser wand.  It's a lot of fun!  Sometimes we just nap together.  I make sure she gets exercise by begging for my treats promptly (or a bit earlier!) at 5pm.

I'm a handsome ManCat!

Thanks for all of your purrs and prayers!  I appreciate them and so does my Mom!!

Wordless Wednesday with Cousin Trooper

Mini ManCat Monday

Writing out Christmas Cards is a lot of work.....................

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Cousin Trooper is asking for prayers for his Mom tomorrow.  She'll be having a PET scan to make sure the chemo is doing it's job.  I'm a bit confused.....why does she have to go somewhere for that?  Can't Cousin Trooper do it himself???   After all, it IS called a PET scan!

ManCat Monday with Cousin Trooper

Hi furriends, Cousin Trooper here.

Mom did okay with her chemo last week!  She's very, very tired but she wanted me to tell you all how much she appreciates your purrs and prayers.  She has Labs again today (hey....aren't labs woofies????) and plans on resting up for Turkey Day.

I'm not so sure....this guy looks a little tough!!

ManCat Monday with Cousin Trooper

UPDATE.   Auntie El's bloods were very low (7.8 red count) but she is getting chemo and is scheduled for a transfusion tomorrow morning.  Please keep the prayers and purrs going.  This chemo marks the halfway point.

Yes, here I am asking for purrs and prayers for my Mom again.  She's scheduled for chemo today but it might not happen because her blood count is probably still a bit too low.

Here's a video that I shared a while ago....I'm asking for purrs and prayers in my own voice!!!

ManCat Monday with Cousin Trooper

UPDATE.....My Mom's blood wasn't up to where they would like it, but it didn't go down any either so NO TRANSFUSION!  Thanks for the purrs and prayers.  We hope it goes up enough for chemo next week.  

I sure hope I'm not asking for too many purrs and prayers but it's Monday again and we really need a good blood report for my Mom today.  We don't want her to need a transfusion.  Please send her purrs and prayers for a good blood count.  I'm going to wait at the door until I see her!

IMPORTANT:  Our pal Squashies needs help.

Urgent Request!

If your cat has been blood typed, and is Type B (Rare but prevalent in Asian breeds,) we need your help.  Squashies is in desperate need of a transfusion. We can't find a Type B donor.

We will pay all expenses to bring the cat and you here to Baltimore.  With a very generous bonus for your time and discomfort. Call Dee @ 443-527-9226.

Our little girl is running out of options.
Thank you!

If you can help, please contact them.

Hi effuryone...Cousin Trooper here.

I'm giving you one of my super cute looks because I have a favor to ask.  My Mom goes for her labwork/doctor visit today.  She's had a really hard week since the chemo treatment last Monday and I'm asking for purrs and prayers for  a good blood count and for the bad pains to go away.

Am I cute enough??

Moms are special and a request for purrs and prayers

Mom saw this video of FB and it made her all leaky eyed.  We agree - That's What Moms Do!!  Cousin Trooper agrees!!

  

Cousin Trooper would like to ask you to send some purrs and healing prayers for his Mom.  She is starting chemo again today.  We're purring that this time it is easier and the nasty "c" goes away for good.

Trooper's request for his Mom

Update...auntie EL is out of surgery and the surgeon says it went well . Please keep the purrs and prayers going for a quick recovery. Cousin Trooper sure has a ManCatly walk and some pawsome legs and toes!!  He has a special request today.  Remember THIS post saying that his Mom (Auntie El) was supposed to have surgery a couple of weeks ago?  Auntie El is finally having her surgery today.  Please keep her in your purrs and prayers.  Mom will try to update from the hospital.

Thanks again to Ann from Zoolatry for the wonderful graphic!

The Tabby Cat Club has another fun event today -  What would you buy with a $20 Pet Smart Gift Certificate.  Please stop by and see Tamir's post HERE and check out all the other fun answers.

Flat Tamir in Nova Scotia - final day

We're at the end of my visit to Nova Scotia. Today I'm going to show you some pictures from Louisbourg and our last night at the Moonlight Beach Inn.

Hey.....who are you calling a crab??????

Here I am with the whole group at the Fort in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia.  See how Mom has me tucked in her bag?  That's because it was very cold and windy that day.

OH NO!  Mom is kissing some very strange animal!!!

 After our visit to the fort, we returned back to the Moonlight Beach Inn.  On the way home I saw this. 

I spent time hanging out (literally) on the deck and helped Cal cook dinner....

Doesn't dinner look great?

This guy tried to convince us he could do tricks so we wouldn't eat him....

That didn't work!  Aren't those lobsters fabulous???

This was our last night so I spent some time telling Jane how much I enjoyed my visit.  She even ended up giving me a big smoochie!!

 The next day we went to the airport to go home.  Here I am with Dad enjoying some guy time together.

Mom made sure I was safe in my carrier before we boarded the plane...

UT OH.....this isn't good. 

We ended up missing our connection from Philadelphia to Orlando but we did get on a later flight.  We were glad to be home.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures!  I had a great time on my trip and I can't wait to travel somewhere again.

Cousin Trooper asked me to ask you for some purrs and prayers for Auntie El.  She gets the report on her PET scan today.  

Also, please keep our Daddy on your purrs and prayer list.  His new monia is better but he had to see another human V-E-T about a test he had before we went away.  Daddy has a blockage in his femoral artery and will need angioplasty and probably stents in his leg when new monia leaves.  Needless to say, Mom is worried.

Tired Thursday - purrs and prayers please

UPDATE - Auntie El's procedure went really well. She's in her room and is doing great! The doctor said she will be fine! Thanks for all of your purrs and prayers!

Whew, it's been a busy couple of weeks and we're all tired out.


We would like to ask all of our anipals and their beans to say some prayers, send some purrs, woofs and good thoughts out to our Auntie El today. She is going to have the procedure to fix up her heart this morning.

Here's a picture of Auntie El opening up her Easter Basket. Hey....her basket looks bigger than OURS!!

Thanks for your prayers. Mom will be staying with Auntie El most of the day and then going to Choir practice tonight, so we might not get to visit our friends today. Mom will post an update about Auntie El as soon as she can.
