Wordless Wednesday: Yawn

The Clarissa Report

I'm sorry my blog hasn't been updated for awhile. Mom has been off going to horror movie conventions, steampunk conventions, and Alice Cooper concerts. We are going to try to keep her home with us for awhile.

That's me sleeping in the closet after my first vet visit. You can see that I don't feel good.

All of the furblings are well. I was very sick a couple of weeks ago. I got real puny feeling and started hiding in the back of the closet. I didn't want snuggles or pets or anything. I would come out and eat a little and drink a little, but then I would go back to the closet. When mom took me to the vet, I had a 105 fever! I was given sub-fluids and an antibiotic shot. I felt better that night, but by the next night was starting to act like I still wasn't feeling well.

Mom took me back to the vet that Friday (my first visit was on a Monday). I still had 103 fever. More fluids and three different vitamin shots! OUCH!!! But I'm all well now and feeling like my regular self.

I'll try to get mom to help us post more often!!!

Purrs,

Moderating the Comments Page

If you comment on one of our posts, mom will help us approve it before it will be visible. We have tried to go un-moderated, but we keep getting comments in what is probably Japanese. When translated, they either make no sense, or they are for websites with scantily clad ladies.

We hope this delay won't keep our friends from posting comments!

Thank you all, and good night!

I'm Home

Hi all! I got to come home from the vet last night. Mom picked me up on the way home from work. I finally gave them some pee so they could test it. The good news is I DON'T have a UTI. So it's a mystery as to why I peed on mom (if it was me! I'm not telling!).

However, just to keep things interesting, one of us furs peed on mom's new summer flip flops. And these are the $1.50 jobs that you can pick up at Old Navy.  Nope, these were the pricey Earth Shoe design that mom bought from HSN. She said she can throw them in the washer with some towels and they should be fine.

Here's what we think the problem is. Mom changed our litter boxes on Friday. She's been buying this fine grain crystal litter from Wal-Mart. Well, she changed the litter and put in a coarser grain crystal litter. I think it's hurtin' some of our paws to walk on it. Mom said she is going to Wal-Mart tonight and get the original litter and see if that takes care of the problem.

Mom has had cats for 10 years now. You'd think she'd know by now that we don't like change! Hmmmpppphhh!

Sable Is At The Vet's....

Mom thinks that my brofur, Sable the Punk, may have a UTI. You see, some fur peed on mom while she was sleeping on Sunday night.  Mom woke up and felt something warm and wet against her back and realized that she was being peed on. Since the room was dark, she wasn't sure which fur it was. However, Sable has had two UTIs in the past, and both times he had them he peed on mom while she was in her bed.

Mom left Sable with the vet yesterday morning and explained the situation. They said they would get a urine sample from him and test it. Well Sable won't pee for them. He had to spend the night there and they will try again today. The last time he did this he held out for almost 48 hours before the vet got a urine sample.

Would our friends please encourage Sable to pee so he can come home? Please? We miss him!!!

Sable is the big black kitty. That's Bandit curled up behind him.

Our meowmie

We don't usually post pictures of our meowmie here, but we wanted you guys to see how abused she is by us! The three of us who are holding her down are Batman (on her chest), Panda (the white and black kitty), and Sable the Punk (the other black kitty). Mom said she is nothing more than a cat mattress for us!

Visits to the Vet...the cycle begins again

You know there are 15 of us kitties at mom's house. She says it's a never ending cycle of visits to the vet for us. Most of us are lucky and go once per year. That is for our annual exam and rabies vaccine. The exception was Batman, when he had that problem with his nose (which finally cleared up). And me, Rissa, has that over-grooming problem so I have to see the vet every 8-12 weeks to get a steroid shot.

Anymew, Memphis (the Siamese) and Fiona (calico) saw the vet a week ago Saturday for their annuals. The both got good reports. Memphis weighed a bit over 11 lbs. and Fiona weighed 7.25 lbs. She is the smallest kitty in our house. Memphis behaved, but Fiona GROWLED like a BIG TIGER the whole time she was there!

Both of the solid white kittes, Lily Rose and Fred, visited the vet this past Saturday. Once more, both are healthy kitties. Lily Rose was the perfect little lady. She weighed in at a tad over 11 lbs. The abscess she had on her neck in December has totally healed and not returned.

Fred was a bit of a problem in the office. He HATES the vet's office. He gets scairt and he panics. Mom really doesn't like to take him be she knows it's necessary. Every time the vet completed part of Fred's examine, Fred would try to launch himself onto mom. The last time he tried that he scratched mom's face! It's a tiny scratch, and she knew he didn't mean to do it. She calmly place him in the carrier (it's a top loader). When the vet came back into the exam room, he gave mom some cotton gauze and peroxide to clean the scratch. Then he ask one of the technicians to assist him so mom wouldn't have to hold Fred again.

Fred got his rabies vaccine, and an antibiotic shot. He has really bad breath and the vet said his gums were inflamed in the back from gingivitis. I had that problem once and the antibiotic worked for me. The vet said if Fred's mouth didn't look better in 10 days to let him know.

So that is what we've been up too. Mom said Serendipity and Jazzpurr are next on the list for the vet. They will go in April or May.
