~ The Kitty Thread!! ~ Take 2!

I have a REALLY good vet but today was a bit unnerving. Took Annie in for her yearly shots and to find out why she regurgitates (vets word, said it's not "vomiting") about once a week. (We're doing some dietary adjustments- doesn't look serious.) One of her vaccinations is something they give as drops in the nose and two were shots. The two shots went fine- not even a flinch. But the nose drops totally freaked out Annie. I've never seen her like that. It was really stressful. We both took the rest of the day off.

(Now you know what wimps we both are. )

Ugh, I hope it helps! How long do you have to give those to her? As for our kitty's immunotherapy, we don't know when to stop. It's a gamble and we have to see when it catches. She loves licking cardboard, so we always used to let her have any packages that we got in the mail to play with. Now I read something about cardboard box mites... Her allergy test results were peaking in the mite department, so we decided to take all cardboard out of her reach. Poor thing... Good thing is, she also loves cat grass. So that is her nibble to go now.

I had to bury our store cat Goldie today. When I got to work and opened the store room she was curled up on the floor. Right away I saw her eyes- she was named "Goldie" for her gold colored eyes- I knew she was gone. She was my store buddy for over 14 of her 16 or 17 years and she mostly pretty much just hung around me most of the time. It was really, really hard letting her go today. A lot of tears.

I'm so sorry for your loss Brian

I'm so sorry, B. I'm sure she loved hanging with you over the years as much as you did with her.

Big hugs.

Oh no! I'm really sorry to hear that Brian. Hope you're feeling better soon. RIP Goldie.

Beautiful! Like a physically sturdier version of our Beans.

I am so sorry, Brian! She reminds me of Sam a lot. I hope she meets Mr. Pickles in kitty heaven. We adoped him tomorrow, three years ago, on my first real day in America.

Just discovered that there is a whole channel free on demand that is just constant kittens playing, set to classical music. I am not sure if it's meant for cats or people, lol. I will try it on my cat when she wakes up.

Thanks again friends! Here's one more of Goldie from a few years ago that I was super happy to find posted by a friend on the store's FB page:


Meanwhile, on a more cheery note here at home... whenever Annie see a squirrel or bird close to the house she runs from window to window as though guarding against a terrible invasion of some sort. And yet last night for the duration of this AWESOME thunder and lighting and rain storm that lasted 3 plus hours she slept right through it like nothing was going on!
