So Happy It's Thursday

We are happy it's Thursday because that is one day closer to the weekend and more snuggle time with mom! But in the meantime, we have sun puddles to lay in.  There is a heat wave here with the high temperature predicted to be 36 degrees. The snow is slowly melting and we can see the pieces of the ground that were beneath it.

Our sisfur, Jazzpurr, had an embarrassing mishap last night. She jumped onto the seat of the breakfast bar stool, the tried to jump onto the breakfast bar to get to Fred's special prescription food. We don't know if she misjudged the leap, or if her front feet slid on some mail. She scrabbled but couldn't get her footing and she made a rather ungraceful fall to the floor. Of course Jazzpurr ran off to hide her shame from us.  She soon reappeared no worse for wear, but she didn't try that stunt again.

We hope that our friends who live in the areas hit by this horrible winter storm are safe. We've seen reports on the news and it looks scary. And as mom says, she'll take snow over ice anytime, and this looks like they got both. We have four "aunties" (good friends of mom's) who live in North Carolina. Everyone has checked in so we know they and their furs are alright!

We may get a tiny bit of snow tomorrow, an 1" or so, and then it is suppose to warm up. We are very much ready for spring and window whiffies!

More Snow and an Update on Fiona

This is what we woke up to this morning kitties:  5" of fresh snow!  Mom got up at 6:30am and found out that the university (where she works) canceled classes and closed offices for the day...again. She'll get paid for the day since it was the university's decision to close. This is what our backyard looked like:

Fiona had a follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist at 9:15am. Mom was a bit concerned when she left the house, but the main roads and interstates were fine. She said the side roads and ramps were iffy though. Anymew, Fiona received a very good report from the doctor. Her eye looks so much better! The redness is gone, but she still needs eye drops. The doctor did change the dosage on the two she has been getting and she added one new eye drop.

Fiona will now get 1 drop of Dexamethasone solution once daily, 1 drop of Tacrolimus 0.02% solution twice daily, and 1 drop of Idoxuridine 0.1% solution twice daily.  She is also to get 500mg Lysine twice daily.  She is to see the doctor again in May. Of course, if there is a problem mom will take her in before then.

The diagnosis is suspect feline herpes virus in the right eye and keratitits in the right eye.

And last of all, Katie Isabella gave us this wonderful award:
