Thankful Thursday

Thirteen things I'm thankful for this week:

1. I'm thankful that the VET gassed me at my appnt Monday so he could check me out really good, and Bendrix got to hang out with the pink hippos. I am sad Bendrix didn't get to scratch anyone tho.

2. I'm glad I'm not sneezing as much. Snot is not as much fun when you don't mean to snarf on stuff.

3. I'm glad I have my mommy and daddy who are spoiling me, and complimenting my handsomeness and braveness and smartness while I recover.

4. I'm glad for fans. It is so humid and hot here that the fans make me feel better all around even with the a/c.

5. I'm thankful that I felt well enough to bat around the cool glow ball that Queen Snickers and Empress sent me for a Swap N Tails gift.

6. I'm glad I felt well enough to watch the birdies out the window for a bit before napping again.

7. I'm glad for comfy napping spots while I recover, like the bed, sofa and soft carpets.

8. I'm glad I found a new way to keep mommy up at night. I'm not sleeping on the bed at night right now so mommy keeps getting up to check on me. It makes me laugh and humor is supposed to heal right?

9. I'm glad my litter box gets scooped every day since the "loose stool" started last night and I am a very tidy kitty.

10. I'm thankful mommy has a nice boss that let her stay home with me the last couple days (and leave early Monday) to take care of me.

11. I'm glad daddy takes time to lay on the floor with me and rub my shoulders while I get better and tells me what a good Mancat I am.

12. I'm glad I get extra stinky goodness to settle my tummy after getting the evil liquid anty-biotik shot down my throat!

13. I'm very very thankful to have such good blogging friends. I'm sure that all the positive purrs and prayers have made a big difference in my recovery. We will be around to thank all of you individually over the next few days.

Daddy and mommy are leaky that so many beans and fuzzies care about me. I hope to make a complete, no sneezing & wanting to play lots, recovery in a couple of days. Right now I get sleepy quick. Not lethargic, just sleepy.

I am being watched closely by my beans as I recover and am getting all my medicine no matter how much I fight. Yuck. My beans are planning on spending the whole weekend cuddling and lovin on my as much as I'll let them. I like the sound of that.
Maybe I'll even let them get some sleep. I haven't decided, but they are pretty tired cause of worrying about me.

I think I may telyport over to wish Samantha and the new Mancats, Sol, Smokey & BJ a happy birthday today since I'm feeling better.

Sweet Friends!

look look look! Our friends at the cat blogosphere made me a Get Well Card. That is so very nice. It is just what I needed!

I'm still spending lots of time sleeping, but perked up enough to do a "tail on fire" run around the house about an hour ago. I'm very glad mommy worked from home today cause I felt like snuggling.

Mommy is loving the fact I'm letting her scritch me and snuggle with me as much as she wants. Don't tell Bendrix, but so am I.

The loose stool still hasn't started, bummer, but maybe tomorrow. I haven't sneezed almost the whole day!! Not since very early this morning before the alarm went off. Good stuff huh?

It is all the purrs and prayers from my friends. Thank you so much. Even Bendrix is happy to see how many nice thoughts are coming our way.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Mommy is working late tomorrrow and Friday all day, but daddy will be home early both days - but the weekend is mine, all mine!

Wednesday Update

Well, this is how I spend yesterday. Resting. I didn't even feel like jumping on the couch until after 4:00pm! Usually that is the only place I like to nap when mommy is home. I only sneezed a little yesterday afternoon, so resting and is helping. I didn't sleep with my beans last night and that kept mommy from sleeping good too cause she kept checking on me.

Mommy is working from home today and hopefully I'll perk up more. She also turned the air conditioner cooler today to make sure I'm not warm. I am eating OK today so that is good. No loose stool yet either, rats. Maybe later today.

I'm still not sleeping on the sofa, just the floor, but mommy says I look comfy and the fan blows on me so that may be why.

Thank you all for your good healing thoughts! I'm sure they are working. We love all our friends for caring!

Traumatic Tuesday

Yesterday was terrible, just terrible. Mommy came home early from work and I thought "cool, someone to wait on me." Well, not long after that, I was snatched from my sofa slumber and shoved into my PTU.

See, I'd been sneezing since Sunday morning and rubbing my snout on stuff for a couple of days. I tried to tell mommy it was because she hasn't dusted in a squillion years, but she didn't buy it.

So we got to the VET and before I could do more than gouge mommy's wrist, I was stuffed into the "happy box" and gassed. When I woke up later I thought it was a bad dream except my spot #13 hurt and it felt like I had shots. That pissed my off but I was to tired to fight. Bendrix was still dreaming of skipping thru a field chasing butterflies with the pink hippos in tutus.


Turns out, I have a Resperatory Virus. It was caught early and isn't in my lungs.
Still, I'm on 20 days of anti-biotiks and will start an immune stimulator in a couple of weeks. The VET thinks with all the stress of July (daddy being gone, than mommy being gone, then mommy and daddy working lots) I got sick. With my FIV, that is not unusual.

Since I'll have an immune system stimulator now, hopefully that will help prevent me from getting sick from this type of stress again.

I'm taking it easy today. Mommy's VERY VERY nice boss called this morning cause she heard I was sick and told mommy to stay home with me. I'm still angry with her for taking me to the VET and shooting anti-biotiks down my throat last night, but maybe I'll let her love on me later. I'm glad she is here. She is scheduled to Work From Home tomorrow so I'll have her then too.


Any purrs you can send me would be appreciated.


The bright side is that the anti-biotik could cause my to have "loose stool." It will be fun to watch my beans clean that up! snigger

Guess what! I'm happier already cause Huffle Mawson gave me this:

Lets see, I'll pass this on to:

Monday Meme & VET

Hi all! Sorry we haven't been around much. Mommy has been working 6 days a week and her cold was actually a sinus infection so I've been on nursing duty while she rests.

Ana, Chica & Pumuckl tagged us for a Meme! Keep them in your purrs and prayers as they move to Germany. Wave to Dragonheart & Merlin for us when you get there!
So, here we go!:


Four jobs I’ve had

Alarm Clock - I help my beans get up and going on time
Interior Decorator - Carpets look better with snagging & doors look better "worn" with scratches.
Lundry Presser - I make sure the warm laundry gets pressed even before it is folded
When I was younger: Mouser, and I was good at it. - As a former feral (mommy found me down the street from our neighborhood on the side of the road in front of a farm)

Four movies I can watch over and over

Transformers
X-Men United
Gone With the Wind
Three Amigos


Four places I’ve lived

Outside maybe on the farm?
Inside with my beans!!

Four TV shows I love
Bones
Ghost Hunters
Life (be sure to watch this on NBC when it comes back in the Fall - Fri. 10pm)
Psych


Four places I’ve vacationed

My life is one long vacation

Four of my favorite dishes

Stinky Goodness
Cheetos!
Science Diet TDs
Prescription Hill ID - crunchies

Four sites I visit daily

The Cat Blogosphere
My sweet lady cat
The Cincinnati Enquirer
My email

Four places I would rather be right now

My sofa (mommy is on it and I don't like to share)
The big bed (it isn't made and I don't like lumps)
My window perch upstairs (it is to hot to be upstairs right now)
In the kitchen eating stinky goodness (mommy says it isn't "treat time")

Kitties I'm going to tag!

Snow, Fairy & Leo
HRH Yao-lin
Meep, Twizzler & Bear
Abby the Tabby
Halloween
We promise to be around to visit you all in the next couple days now that my typist is feeling better and getting back to a regular work schedule.

PS I have to go to the VET this afternoon at 5:00pm. I have been sneezing a lot yesterday and today as well as rubbing my muzzle against stuff. Mommy is afraid I have a stuffy nose or something wrong with my gums. Cross your paws that I'm OK and that Bendrix doesn't hurt any of the VET techs.

Friday Confessions - I Ate the Cheese

Time for another Friday Confession, inspired by Mr. Echo:

Hey mommy, remember last week when you were eating chips with melty cheese, and you went to the bathroom and forgot to put the bowl of cheese on top of the TV where I'm NOT allowed? Then you came back and I was sitting next to a now empty bowl of melty cheese and you said "Did you eat my cheese?!?" and I said, "No mommy, I wouldn't do that."

Well I did.








On the bright side,eating cheese is better than cutting it! Get it? Cutting it? ha ha ha I crack myself up.

Thinking on Thursday

Mommy, I know that Journey is your "guilty pleasure," but if you don't stop singing "Don't Stop Believing" I'm going to have to chew your hair off again.

For now I will catch up on my sleep. The Steve Perry nightmares kept me up all night.

Wordless Wednesday - Kinda

PS Bendrix and I are very cheezed off and sad about snarky remarks being made to Robyn, DKM, ML and Deb. Please don't do that, they work very hard and provide and important service for us with the Cat Blogosphere. Remember, before sending an unpleasent email, that we don't always know the entire story behind things and it is easy to misunderstand things in writing.

We want to thank them very much for all they do.

UPDATE
After rallying and doing well for the last week and a half, our buddy Mu Shue Pooh King Cat was helped to the Bridge yesterday. We will always have a place in our hearts for our beloved friend. He helped us see what a great place the blogosphere is. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mama Laura, the twins, Lilly Lu & Iris.

Mancat Monday

Although I'm a little bummed daddy is still sleeping in the bed, I have had a great time trying to get him out. Unfortunately, the pooting has been difficult since I am taking laxitone daily for my IBS (hairball issues with the heat too!). That makes me sad, but walking on Mr. Winkie has proven to be the most fun and effective. Mommy is sleeping a little better cause I'm messing with daddy and not her.

Mommy has been working like crazy to get our scrapbooks done. I say ours because I have my very own books. I have been helping her cause she doesn't feel good. A good Mancat always helps those in need and mommy is very needy right now. It has been so hot and humid, she can't work upstairs without sweating like crazy so the living room is full of scrapping stuff. That is the main reason we are working so hard on them.





Cross your paws that when mommy goes to the doctor tomorrow he'll be able to give her something to help her breathe again! She is working 6 days again week! yuck.

Saturday - Batman

OK, Tybalt does such a great job reviewing movies and saying why you need to see them. I'm not as good as him, but this is what my beans have to say about Batman, The Dark Knight:

Daddy: Take the best Action & Superhero movies you've ever seen put together and then ADD The Godfather.

Mommy: Holy Sh*t! It was so good I forgot to breathe.

So, put on your shoes, stop reading this blog and GO SEE BATMAN NOW!!!!!
