Wordy Wednesday
So, we seem to have an old fashioned cat cold among the troops here. Smokey started out with it, and it has moved on to Jenny and G.T. Smokey has been sneezing and sneezing, and honest to goodness, green globbers hang off the poor guy's nose. He hates to have his globbers pulled off. Jenny gets into a good sneezing batch and has watery eyes also. And G.T. sneezes occasionally and has a cough going.
And when Maw cleans and fills the litter boxes and makes them a bit too full, we tend to have out of litter box experiences. This has been fun over the past week because all the clumping boxes have been scrubbed and refilled and we are having mega OLBE. Maw is so thrilled.
Orinch 1 has been hanging around a lot anymore. He seems to sleep on the roof under the patio cover and appears each morning when Maw fills the food bowl on the patio. He's very friendly to the other cats, but not overly friendly to the beans.
That's all.

Part of Grey's physical therapy is swimming. Here are pictures of him in his life vest hanging out in the tub. He doesn't particularly like swimming, and he definitely doesn't care for the blow drying afterward. The Physical Therapist is going to lend Grey a tiny woofie cart to see if he likes wheeling around in it. If he does, then his Mom & Dad will get one for him. The way the carts are designed, the rear toes barely touch the ground, so this causes nerve stimulation in the feet which helps to regenerate those nerve endings.
Here is a picture of Grey on his specially designed Ham-Mick. It is a couple of inches taller than the ones Maw normally make so that Grey can look out his window all day while his beans are at work.

Here's another one of those emails that Maw received. She wanted to use OUR BLOG to post it, and since it does feature a poodin, we agreed to let her JUST THIS ONCE.

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.

It's amazing how much more quiet the house is with 2 poodins missing overnight. With Sally and Smokey boarding overnight at the V-E-T, there were only 8 poodins to count when it came time to close the cat flap to the enclosure. Only 8 poodins worth of output to scoop from the litterboxes this morning. Of course they were missed. Without Sgt. Sally's howling, it was eerily quiet last evening. And without Smokey to wrassle Dorf and Reno, there wasn't much fur flying in the hallway.
During their health checks yesterday, it was determined that Smokey really didn't need his teeth cleaned. Yay! But, he does have a heart murmur, and we wanted his heavy breathing checked out. When he's lying down, we can hear him breathe from across the room. I don't know if it's because of his Herpes virus, or if he has asthma, or if it's his weight. He only weighs 15 lbs., which isn't overly large in this house. So, he stayed overnight with Sally and will have x-rays and blood tests done this morning.
Sally was throwing a hissy fit at the V-E-T. She was not happy at all. She used to get that way when I would take her to the PetsMart Adopt-a-Pet center. One hour in the cage and she was spitting and hissing and wanting to rip the arm off anyone who came near her. That's how we ended up keeping her. It was just too difficult to try and find her a home. I assume it's because she was kept in a cage for the first 10 months of her life at the Crazy Cat Lady's garage.
I will say this 100 times over on this blog. Anyone who believes they are fostering by keeping cats in cages are doing a disservice to that cat. Yes, shelters keep cats in cages because they have little choice. Most are publicly funded and way down on the community's priority list. But an individual who performs "rescue" should not need to confine the animals. They might be saving the life of that animal, but at what psychological cost to it?

Ok, so today's Dallas Morning News has an article about the flu shot only being 27% effective against the flu strains showing up in Texas and about 50% effective in the rest of the US. So that explains why Maw got the flu even though she got shot.
In udder noos, Gatsbi has a scabby lump on her tail. Don't no wat dat is...
And in further udder noos, Bow has taken to howling in da middle of da nite. He goes Raowr raowr raowr raowr with a nasally sownd. He has done dis fur yeers, but he usushally goes out in da cat enkloshur an duz it. But since Paw puttted da noo cat enkloshur up, Maw hast bin shutting the cat flap at nite so dat it dunt go flap flap, flap flap, flap flap wen da poodins run in & out. So now, Bow is howling in da howse an Maw is yelling, "Bow!!!!!" So now she ist gonna take him bak in fur his next blood glucose test since he's off his treats and steroids and on da noo medsins.
Oh, an we haf da cat cold, aka Feline Herpes1 outbreak, floating arownd da howse. Annie hast green eye bogies. An Smokey ist sneezin an sneezin, and Jenny ist sneezin, an Bow is snufflin agin. Bow camed down wid da cat cold so bad dat it kinena ruined his nasal passages. He had dem scoped an efurryting at da specialist an den he was on Clindamycin for months cuz any kinena moxie type aunty-by-otiks makes him yak--immediately. He ist allergic to dem. So.....
Den yestday Maw wuz duing da Texassss Chain Saw Massacre on da tree limbs an Annie wast snoopervisin frum da cat ham-mik in da winder.
Ok. Oh, an of course, sumbuddy yakked overnite.
