So, we adopted this cat (name is pending). She seems like a very affectionate cat...likes to be with me so if I go in another room, she will soon be there, too. Cat introductions seemed to go ok. Mandy had her tail in a knot the first day. Patti (she was a trap/release) just can't get over...

Lucy just died last week from oral cancer. It was very hard and, really, it still is. However, when asked why I am not in corner bawling my eyes out (and I was for a few days), I said that I have been grieving her since October when the entire ordeal started. I've been crying for five months...

I am absolutely devastated right now. It's hard to even be home because I see Lucy EVERYWHERE. For 17 years, that cat has been with us. She was dx with oral cancer in January, but believe she had it before that (symptoms started in October)...and it's been a very rough 5 months. Tuesday...

Lucy was dx with cancer (mouth) in January after a dental (but it existed before that...but nobody told me). After teeth extractions, she bounced back to Lucy again, although, I knew it would be mostly short-lived. She gets Gabapentin and meloxicam (vet determined the benefits outweigh the...

How are you guys making the banners? I have one from when I was here back in like 2002ish, but someone here made it for me when Ashie died. Is there an easy way to design these? Thank you! :)

Lucy is almost 20. She had three extractions today. During this, they found what appears to be cancer in her jaw (same side as the really really bad tooth). I knew it could be the case, though, so I was not surprised. We refused the biopsy as the doctor is pretty sure that's what it is and three...

Who is on track for this snow storm coming up? For us, it moves in on Friday. Could be anywhere from 6-10" (maybe more according to one weather model). I've also read potential blizzard tag attached to it. I've lived in this state my entire life and I STILL don't like it! LOL

The vet prescribed Gabapentin and Prednisolone for Lucy since she's having a bobbing head and a few silent/rigid seizure type of events. When Lu was taking the pain med (the one that starts with an O...the name has slipped my mind), she had none of these but after three days, she can't take...

Lucy can't get in to have extractions until the 22nd. She is three days out from being done with the antibiotic and has one Onsior left. I was reluctant to start the pain med and decided to watch to see if she may need it. After she had what appeared to be another seizure, we gave her the...

Lucy has a spot in the walk-in closet she's always liked to be in. This afternoon, I was handing out treats and went in to see if Lu wanted any. She looked up at me and I put a few down on the blanket she was on. She tried to eat one but the angle of the blanket caused it to roll away a bit...

I posted last night about Lucy having these "tic" like movements. Tonight, she got up on me as usual at bedtime...and she started these weird movements with her head. I am actually in panic-mode now. In the one, you will see her looking away from me and I moved her head back so I could get...

I've noticed Lucy will make these sudden subtle jerky movements (if you can call them that). I only know about them because I feel them when she is laying on me. They are visibly very subtle and are very short...kind of like if you were startled or had hiccups. Sometimes they aren't...

I dud this layout a few months back. ❤️ There is journaling about the title (was taken from the Phil Collins tune :)

Lucy was given Baytril last Wednesday for her infection. We noticed the past few days she really does not want to eat. She will take in a small amount, but that is about it. I know antibiotics can do this, but what concerns me is she is supposed to be on this med for 14 days. I can't believe...

I switched vets after being nearly "ghosted" by the current one. I am SOOOO glad I did that. When I have something medical going on, I go to Univ. of Michigan (Michigan Medicine) . They spend LOADS of time with patients and when the patient leaves, they know everything there is to know about...

Lucy has bad back teeth but vet doesn't really think extraction is good at her age. She was also on a thyroid med and that caused terrible itching and she ripped the space between her ear and eye up. Vet said it could take some time for the med to exit her body. She has seemed to tame the...

Lucy the kitty cat. She has a tooth (teeth?) issue. We've narrowed it down to not only is she hyperthyroid, but much of her batting is due to her mouth. She was on one antibiotic and then started Azithromyacin (did I even spell that correctly?) every 3rd day for 6 weeks. we believe the...

This whole thing has been like a puzzle!!! Lucy's scratch-like marks between her ear and eye are a result of the thyroid med. The intense itching was nearly unbearable from what I understand and we were told to stop the med immediately. We decided to try the prescription diet next, but we...

A few weeks back, I posted about Lucy (she's 19ish) sneezing, batting, and having a dental issue. I thought the vet was dropping the ball. After I got a bit huffy-puffy (read: bitchy!) with them at the front desk, the vet called me and even gave me his cell number. We got Lu's med for the...

Mandy LOVES to eat. She knows when it's time for treats in the morning...like clockwork. She will wake us up on weekends to get them. Needless to say, she is just short of 15 pounds! Last night she seemed to be herself. We had family over from out of town with three boys ranging from 10-13...
