Mancat Monday
Here is Dorf, testing out a Ham-Mick prior to shipment. We are noticing Dorf's eyesight is getting worse. He is having trouble jumping onto chairs and couches and occasionally misses them at this time. His brother, G.T., is also picking on him more.
Today is the day to try and catch Jenny for the V-E-T consultation, again. Wish us luck!

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.
This is an old picture of Bob before his cheeks got puffy and he became a full ManCat.

Mancat Monday
And now back to regular programming:
Yesterday was clippy claws day at la casa de Forty Paws. We've told you about how Reno has to be done first because otherwise he takes off running for the next month whenever Maw or Paw get close to him. Well, he could sense that something was up yesterday, and he wouldn't go to sleep at all. He would leap up and take off running whenever Maw or Paw would get within 10 feet of him. So they decided to start trimming the rest of us while Reno was outside in the cat enclosure. Then he came in while they were trimming Annie's toes. And she howls and carries on like she is being killed. So Reno didn't get his claws done and probably won't for the next month.
In other noos, we hate changing time to and from DST. What a stoopid concept. Our bodies are naturally attuned and have internal timeclocks. We know what time Maw & Paw get up. We know what time they go to bed. Now they have changed that and our internal timeclocks are totally screwed up. What gives?
And in even further other noos, we know that most of you quit buying IAMs last year during the tainted food poisonings. Well, Maw didn't because about half of us eat IAMs canned foods, and all of us eat the dry. And the recall was for the pouches of moist food, not the canned. Anyway, IAMs decided to reformulate their wet food and also to redesign their labels and their cans. The wet food used to be called "entree". Now it is called "pate". We don't like it. It sits uneaten all day until Maw takes it outside and gives it to Orinch 1, 2, and Bob(bie). Also, the redesigned can has flip tops that are impossible to open without a tool of some sort, and then they break off. And the labels where the flavor is written are pastel background with either white or pastel colored teeny tiny font. Very difficult to read. We assume the redesign is an attempt to bring back customers they lost during the poisonings. But now they have lost a customer who stuck by them. Later IAMs.
Ok, we're done.

Mancat Monday
Today we are featuring our good furriend Grey, who is still in intensive care.
Grey is a real ManCat! He used to be the shop cat at a mechanic's shop where they store a Real Race Car!!! He lived there for 13 years until he developed hyperthyroidism and needed twice daily meds, so then he came to live with the shop owner and his wife.
Then on Wednesday last week he threw a blood clot and fell over and couldn't get back up. His V-E-T sent him to North Texas Veterinary Referral Center and he has been there ever since. They discovered that he has cardiomyopathy and also a compressed spine. The x-ray showed down toward his tail that a disc is now missing & another almost missing & the vertebrae have been rubbing on each other which is causing some neurological problems in controlling his rectum & bladder muscle.
He is eating and drinking well, and pooping with enema help. The V-E-T removed his catheter yesterday and also said there was some feeling returning to his hind legs. Today he is probably going to see a neurologist.
So we still need lots of purrs, prayers, pawsitive thoughts and good vibratons sent this way. Ok?

Mancats Monday
This is a little blurry, but it shows 4 mancats watching Catnip Video! Reno, G.T., Obi, and Smokey. Annie is playing "Where's Annie?" under the newspaper.
In other news, G.T. is now undergoing his new allergy shot schedule with a Benadryl 1/2 hour prior to his shot. He is NOT impressed. The Benadryl also seems to make him hyper instead of sleepy.
We also got clippy claws yesterday and we were NOT happy about that either.
Bow is now on his Budesonide instead of Prednisolone. Maw had to hunt around for a pharmacy that charged a reasonable rate for formulating these capsules into 1 mg. The first formulary charged $2.15/capsule. So Maw found one that charges $1.33/capsule. Bow is unfortunately losing a lot of weight since he's off his treats and pred. He'll go back into the V-E-T for another blood glucose test in a couple of weeks to see if he's still leaning toward being diabetic.
We'll try to get around to efurrybody's blogs in the next few days. We know we are behind.

Mancat Monday Quality Testing
Smokey performed the QA testing of China Cat's Secret Paw present. China Cat told us her favorite color is bloo, so that is why the bed is bloo. Smokey said the bed passed all tests, so Maw gave it to the guy in the bloo shorts. Well, he might be wearing bloo long-johns now, and he took the bloo bed to China Cat's house. You can see China Cat testing out the bed over at her own bloggie.
Merry Krissymouse Eve Efurrycat!

Mancat Monday
Here is Bow in his favorite spot. In the cat enclosure, lying on the ground. He loves to stay out there almost around the clock, coming in only during the hottest part of the day. Unfortunately, we had to take the cat enclosure down yesterday because we are having new windows installed. The cat enclosure is pretty much rotted away and needs to be rebuilt. Let's hope the cats don't drive us nuts before we can get it rebuilt! They already miss it, and are sitting by the window that held the cat flap and looking longingly into the backyard.
Dorfie Update: He is doing much better, and is trying to escape from his convalescence prison. He tries to lick his sweater off when I take his e-collar off. He is scheduled to get the feeding tube and bandage and sweater off this Thursday as long as he continues to eat on his own. I've started mixing in his favorite food which is Gatsbi's R/D with the a/d since he has developed really gooey squirts from the a/d and the antibiotics. I soak the R/D overnight and then mash it up with the a/d. He is eating that very well (from a spoon).
Thanks for your continued support for Dorfie and all of your well wishes for his improvement! It helps tremendously!
Luf, Us & Maw
