Just chilling out

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Slush and Indiana have decided that since Pop isn’t the one cramming worming pills down their throats, making them take awful tasting medicine and putting Kitten Advantage on them- then he must be the purrfect place to take a nap on!
I swear, it never fails. I rescue them and they end up bonding with him […]

Catching Up

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Haven’t had much of a chance to write lately. Going back to work after all these years of not punching a time clock, has been interesting to say the least. I thought that I would be able to manage my schedule, work, take care of the home, the hubby the cats and also write. But […]

Rambling thoughts

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Another kitty has left our home this morning. The departure was not expected. He was in the prime of his life. Rescued just four months ago from a home full of torment, filled with people who did not understand the way of the kitty.
When he first arrived, he was content to stay in the house. […]

Twirl’s last day

Monday, May 19th, 2008

At 2:40 p.m. today, Twirl will take her last breath of air. She is 12 days short of celebrating her ear-removal surgery with us, and will fall 5 days short of her arrival date anniversary. Had she been in the care of a loving pet owner someone who actually gave a shit about white cats […]

A difficult place

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

I find myself once again at a difficult place with Charlie. He is showing me by leaps and bounds that he doesn’t feel very well again. I have just paid down my vet bill not to a manageable level (will it ever be there again?) I doubt it, but I have gotten it down under […]

Result Day

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Today we find out what Twirl is facing as the lab results should be in. It is early in the morning and I find that I cannot sleep. I want this lump to be a friendly lump, one that will go away in time with medication and TLC. I want this white kitty with no […]

A Year in the Life of Twirl

Monday, May 12th, 2008

It hasn’t been the best time for the Miller Kitties. I had to rush Twirl to the vet today because she developed, virtually overnight, a huge mass under her left ear. With the previous diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, I had a sinking feeling the cancer has returned.
The vet feels I am right, so Twirl […]

The Comeback Kit

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Charlie has rebounded yet again! He is feeling so much better and has his appetite back. The other cats are leaving him alone, it’s as if they know he doesn’t feel well. Tarzan is snuggled against him glad that his buddy is back from his quarantine time upstairs.
No one can tell me what he […]

The Charlie Chronicles Part II

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Charlie spent 24 hours in an oxygen box because his fever did indeed break- but then it also started going sub-normal and he began to have problems breathing.
He is home now and he isn’t much interested in life at the moment. I just gave him my last-shot effort a shot of dex to see if […]

The Charlie Chronicles

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Last night when I got off work, when I walked into the house, I noticed that Charlie was sleeping in an odd way on the couch. He was all balled up in a kitty fetal position and his breathing was off (rapid and shallow.) I could hear him gurgling even though his head was buried […]
