Cat's In The Cradle

My bed finally arrived and I had it all to myself for oh, I'd say about 30 seconds...........
Then Cal joined me..........
Then, Maizy Grace and Maggie May took over and I went upstairs.........
I don't know yet if I'm in love with my new bed. Didn't get much of a "test drive," so to speak............
You know what they say........everything is a cat bed! Truer words have never been spoken!
Maggie May, don't get too cozy on that bed, I may need it back!

Things Goin' On

A few interesting things happened over the weekend here on the creek. The servants sold the pool table that was up in the loft and not being used. The lady is unsure what to do with the space now, perhaps an art studio or maybe a very cool kitty playground!
Sometime on Friday night, somekitty puked all over Dixie dog's bed. We don't know who exactly, but smart money is on Cal. The lady took one look at the bed and said there was no way she was cleaning that mess up and decided Dixie needed a new bed anyway. Dixie has been using our blue fishy bed every since. Yeah, it's waaaay too small for Dixie.
So, on Monday, the lady took the money from the pool table sale and hit the Internet. Petco was having a good sale and free shipping! She bought Dixie a very nice new bed that is off the ground, like a cot. We're sure Maizy Grace will enjoy the new bed as well. For us kitties she bought a water fountain!! Cal's prednisilone really makes him thirsty and pee a massive flood. For the first time in his 10 years of life, he has started drinking out of the kitchen faucet. The lady is hoping the new fountain will satisfy his need for flowing water.We can't wait for our cool new stuff to arrive!
***Update on Pop***
Pop had a pretty good appointment yesterday. The dr. believes he is improving. There is still infection in the foot bone, which causes his whole foot to swell and turn purple every time he puts it on the floor. The dr. has decided to cut back on the least potent antibiotic and remain the same on the strongest one. He will need another 3-4 weeks of IV antibiotics and then probably another 1-2 weeks of oral antibiotics.

Thanks for all the purrs, you are all so very wonderful! Now we need to add our Nana to the purr list (she is the lady's mom and was Caddy Caddy's mom.) She learned yesterday at the human vet that she has Hashimoto's disease and high blood pressure. She will be going to see an internist soon to hopefully get both conditions under control.

Brown Eyed Girl - Maizy Grace Movie

Maizy Grace




We would like to thank everyone for the purrs for our Pop. He is still doing about the same, but has not gotten worse, so that is a good thing! We hope his appointment goes well at the human vet today. Hopefully, we will have a good update to post!
XOXO

Letters From Home - A Note From CC

A little update from CC! Yesterday we received an email from CC, it went a little something like this..........

Just thought I would send ya'll a message and let you know that I'm doing good. It took me a little bit getting used to the new family, but after a couple of days I snuggled right up to them. The daughter bean is in love with me, she calls me her "num num" lol. Even my new daddy likes me and snuggles with me. As soon as my new mom can figure out the camera we'll send ya'll some pics.

Anyway I'm doing fine and they're all falling for that 4 footed feline (me.)

XOXO,
CC

Hurt

Our pop needs more purrs!

Our Pop's foot is really hurting him today and he had a bad night last night because of swelling and throbbing pain. This is his second week of IV antibiotics using the 2 strongest medicines available for osteomyelitis or bone infection. He is currently taking one of the medicines every 3 hours and the other medicine every 8 hours. He really needs some strong purrs to knock the infection out of his foot. Monday, the 26th, he will be going to the human vet for a recheck to see if any progress has been made. We pray he will get some good news at that appointment.
Thanks for all the purrs so far, we just ask that you keep them coming!

Cold As Ice - Movie


It hardly ever snows here on the coast of North Carolina. However, Tuesday afternoon brought 4 inches of snow!!! Our servants were released from work kinda early, when they got home, we had some fun!

Although the snow was exciting we couldn't help but think about those kitties who don't have warm homes. We purray they all found shelter from the flurries.
