Mancat Monday
Bob came to visit this weekend in the daylight hours and Maw almost didn't recognize him. His cheeks have become very fat as a full adult male's cheeks tend to do. And Maw saw his big manbits hanging from under his tail. So now we know for sure that Bob is a Bob and not a Bobbie. Bob is VERY skittish and doesn't appear as regularly as Orinch does, so trapping him for his hoo-haw-ectomy will be tricky, but we'll get it done.

Bow's 18th Purrfday!
Today is Bow's 18th Purrfday. Researching cat years to human years on the internet turned up anywhere from 79-years-old to 92-years-old. At any rate, he isn't a youngster.
We are having a PAR-TAY out in the enclosure if you can stop by! It is supposed to be in the 80s today once the clouds burn off!!! There will be fresh nip grown in our own garden, tuna joose, niptinis, and EASTER HAM!!!!
Since he had some blood in his urine during his check-up, he's been on an aunty-by-otik, but he is still feeling uncomfortable and is going to the litter box but not always leaving anything. So, we're going to be getting some more aunty-by-otiks. He doesn't mind getting his sub-q fluids as long as he gets his treats afterwards. We're giving him fluids every 3rd day. Might increase that to every other day. The fluids have potassium and B-vitamins in it to help with his kidney failure.

Tattle Tail Tuesday
Sunday was G.T.'s allergy shot day. Ever since he had the reaction to his allergy shots in January, he has had to get 12.5mg of Benadryl 1/2 hour prior to his shot. We had to also slowly ramp him back up to 1ml of his shot over a 2 month period. So we managed to surprise him the first 4 times we had to give him the pill. Sunday he was no longer surprised and fought like crazy. He has never been an easy cat to medicate. Even when he was a little kitten and had to receive Albon with the rest of his littermates for coccidia, he hated it. Most kittens don't mind Albon at all. G.T. fought the liquid Albon dose every single day.
So Maw & Paw decided to try and pill G.T. on Monday. Nope. So Maw dumped his butt in the PTU and hauled him off to the V-E-T for help with his pill. Well, G.T. was so terrified that he of course submitted to taking the pill quite easily at the V-E-T. Then Maw brought him home and left him in the carrier until time to inject him.
So Maw bought children's liquid Benadryl to try and fool him next month. Except she will have to give him 5ml of cherry flavored liquid Benadryl, and she doesn't know how much of that is gonna get squirted back out of his mouth as he fights it. Just another day here at the Forty Paws....

Photo Hunt #41
The Photo Hunt theme this week is metal.
This is a picture of Bow in our old enclosure last summer. Notice the metal of the enclosure wire, the metal sawhorses that were our perches, the metal edging in the grass, the white metal downspout directly above Bow's right ear, and the metal eye-hook with metal cable above Bow's left ear holding the enclosure securely to the ground.

Funny Friday
You know, this is kinda ingenious, don't you think? Of course, you can't just hose down the trailer after you're done hauling, so that might be an issue.
Maw is watching the twin sticky people today. She goes to their house. We don't let little sticky people come to our house. This would be stressful, and we have sensitive natures. And you guys know who makes the rules around the Forty Paws house, don't you?

Thoughts on Thursday
Ok, so I'm not known for my social graces. I would not be welcome at a southern ladies' afternoon tea. I worked in male-dominated fields in both the Air Force, and then for 16 years in telephony. I find it MUCH easier to work with men, than to work with women. I like to discuss options, and make a decision. I hate how women form a committee, discuss something for 5 months, then come to an equitable decision so that no one's feelings get hurt. Give me a break.
So, here are my thoughts on charity. I give my money and/or time to those who I want to receive said money and/or time. If someone is griping because they aren't receiving as much charity as someone else, they need to grow up and deal with it. Life isn't fair. They should be freaking thankful for what they are receiving and shut the hell up. It's a damn shame that one or two people end up spoiling it for everyone else.
And, more than likely, said person(s) who need to read this probably don't read my blog. And that's a shame.

Wordy Wednesday
Well, we thought we were going to have to build an Ark yesterday and climb aboard, but today the sun is shining and the water is moving on. Thankfully.
In other noos, we didn't get to post yesterday because Maw watched a sticky little bean all day. And Friday she is gonna watch him and his twin sister. So we won't be able to get on the pooter then either!!! That sux.
G.T. had his checkup and had his toofies cleaned yesterday. He has a few FORLs forming, but nothing to freak out about our new v-e-t says. She said if she started pulling FORLs out of every cat she saw in her practice, then all of the middle-aged cats she sees would be toofless by now.
Bow saw the new v-e-t last week and had his bloods stolen, and also his pee stolen. He had some blood in his pee and his bloods are showing that he is now in chronic renal failure, so he is getting flooids now. The v-e-t mixes up vitamin B and potassium with Ringer's Lactate so that the flooids are a little more of a boost. So Bow got flooids for 3 days in a row and now he is every other day, then we will try to reduce it more. He is also on a aunty-by-otik in addition to increasing his pred for awhile. The good noos is that he isn't howling as much, and his appetite has improved. Let's hope he puts some of the 2.5lbs back on that he has lost since December. And he is definitely NOT diabetic. He had no sugar in his urine, and his blood sugar levels were AOK.
Grey Update: Grey pooped a LOT on Monday. He had been having tiny bits of diarrhea and even with an enema he only had a tiny bit of diarrhea. But then he started going on his own on Monday, and he went, and then he went again, and then he went again, and then he went again, and then he went one more time. Good ol' solid huge chunks that made him growl acuz they were so big. Now he is eating VERY WELL. And he actually stretches his back legs!!!! Whooop!!! Whooop!!! ::::::Kitty dance ::::::
Ok, we gotta take a nap now.
