Monday Meowsie News…
HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!
Where to begin…so much going on…inside and outside my home…so kick back, get some nip-tea and a paw full of Greenies or Temptations or Friskies Pawty Mix…ya know…what ever rocks your mittens…and check out my news feed from Casa Savannah…
I’ll start with the cute stuff first…let you all get your “SQUEEE!” goin’…
Next door to my town home community is a really nice apartment complex with a couple of great water features. Mom suspected that the sign at the entrance/exit to our community must have a reason for being there…so she was watchin’ as Spring started to be in the air…
And sure enough…this is what she started to see…(you can click to bigify)
And then just a few days later…
That’s a look at our wildlife. We feel really badly that Momma Duck lost two of her babies. We don’t know what happened but she only has two of her original four with her now. They will almost be big enough to leave soon. Same with the goslings…they are getting so big!
Now for my other news...and I am not the least bit happy to even be sharing this (glares at Mom) but Mom said I should be gracious (whatever that is!) and share some news about our current house introoder guest.
He is eight years old, his name is Leo and he has been at my former shelter, Kitty Corner, for a few weeks. Well, last week he got very depressed and stopped eating. Miss Chrissy the Shelter Adoption Manager asked Mom to take him to the bad place of kitty torture medicine to get looked at. He was very very sick. He had to get fluids and lots of pills and stuff.
What happened some of you may ask? Well, first, Leo is an older cat, and he had been at the kill shelter before my former shelter could bring him to safety with them. When some new cats were added to the mix a few days later, for some reason the change caused Leo to withdraw and then stop eating. So his body started to metabolize his own body fat which caused his liver to get too much fat in it and he became jaundiced…his ears, lips and eyes are yellow. So we have to get him to eat so his body has REAL food to metabolize and clear up his liver.
Mom and Dad did not know that this is what can happen when a cat stops eating so we wanted to share this learning with efurrbody…just in case anyone else is as ignorant unaware as Mom and Dad.
And you guessed right about my other Monday Meowsie News…Leo is now settled in MY guest bedroom…it’s sort of OK, ‘cuz I don’t really use that room…but hey…they could have asked me first, na’mean???
Leo’s furs are very messy ‘cuz he hasn’t felt like giving himself a bath. Dad slept with him the first night. But the second day here he was still not eating; even though he is getting not only antibiotics but also an appetite stimulant twice a day.
So Saturday Miss Tammy (the pawsome animal rescue lady who saved me from the kill shelter) came and administered fluids through a drip thingy. We think Leo felt better ‘cuz this morning, Sunday he was talkin’ a bit and he ate some more kibble. He will get another hydration treatment today, Sunday, before going back to the vet on Monday for a check up.
Here are some photos of Leo…he really, really is a sweet cuddly guy…just very sick…
And then this afternoon Leo showed Mom how he likes to snuggle…Mom did a rotten OK job of trying to cover her face and body so you can focus on what’s impawtant…LEO…(click to bigify)
What?? Oh, did someone ask about ME?? Little ole’ ME? Who lives here all the time…and has been the Queen of this home for like about a kazillion years!! You wanna know about ME? What did you ask???….oh…how am “I” doing…harrruummppffff…
First that Rat Pack bunch of kittens came to visit; now Leo in my spare bedroom. What can I say…I have retreated to spending time in solitude…no, no…not UTB…BTC…”behind the couch”. That gets Dad and Mom really worried and then they stop everything and pay lots of attention to me…heh…heh…
And then yesterday…I really freaked Mom out ‘cuz I hid someplace I never ever hide…
See Me??
…all Mom heard was some rustling noises…
What? Miss Me??
..let’s see if that teaches them a lesson…
Hope that was enough Monday Meowsie News for you…what a week and weekend!!
DON’T FORGET…Tomorrow I have another Real Rescue Cats Are Talking Interview…you are going to want hear this cat’s story for sure…see you tomorrow
