Thanks for sharing the handsome boy's pictures with Artie's Army. We can't get enough of him
That is why I posted a picture of him...How could handsome Artie be camera shy? He needs to know how adorable he is! Please tell Artie that I always love seeing his pictures!
Awwww.. thank you!! You are too kind..Awww, sweet, sweet Artie! I'm finally dropping by to catch up a little. I still haven't gotten thread updates through emails, even after posting on them again. It's a rainy Sunday here in NC, so thought i'd visit my TCS friends!
I'm so happy to hear that Artie is doing well. Great discovery on the junk food making him poop! It does make sense.
Cindy, you are doing such a great job with him! Keep hanging in there!
Yes, they are Silly, and Smart!! Keep us laughing and on our toes!!!!Silly boy! He was up in his tree like "What mom?!"
They are funny aren't they?! I made Sammie stay in today because it's a rainy day, & she was meowing at the door of course. She hadn't used her litter box yet, so I figured that's what it was about. I said, "You're going to have to go potty in your box today. Go potty if you need to. She just meowed. So I said, look, mommy's going to go potty, Sammie go potty like mommy, & sure enough I could hear her digging in her litter box while I was in the bathroom!
I gave her a "good girl!" ......Silly kitties!
You're brilliant for figuring that out about the food, which I agree would be far better than the drugs if you can find a "happy medium" that keeps him feeling well and "going" as he should!angels mommy Sammy's description is what I go through daily!! except our 'buzz" words are: "Dig, Dig, Dig... go Diggy"....
Awwww.. thank you!! You are too kind..
Yup, the experiment is working successfully!!! Artie did not poop yesterday, but this morning did a 11 x 1/2 inch of grey poop ~~ from the junk food!!!
He got Purina One Turkey this morning... Later, I will give him some FF Classics Beef.. and he will have his Prescription dry FR tonight.

Little brat!!
Last night, I had a bad night sleeping.. I went to bed at 11pm.. just could not fall asleep.. around 11:45pm I heard Artie's claws running on the laminate, and jumping onto something.. afraid of the TV getting tipped over, I got up.
I put one light on, calling, "Artie, Artie??" softly, "Meow"... looked on floor, no where, Called out, "Artie, Artie".. again, "Meow"... looked up a bit more, under table, in his tent.. not found.. Called out a third time, "Artie??" " MEOW" this time.. He was on the very top of his huge cat tree, looking at me!!!! CRAZY CAT!!!
I ended up on the recliner, covered in a throw, with Artie on my lap until after 1AM...
Got up for early Mass... Artie pooped, and ate.
I had to lie down around 11AM for a nap.. Of course, Artie was with me.. cuddling up... after an hour, he decided to wake me up-- MEOW, in the ear.. I ignored him... He waited a few minutes, then started walking over me.. again I ignored him.. I could still sense him in the room.. Thinking that he may have to poop again, I finally got up..
He was at the doorway to my bedroom, Sitting, Looking At me, Opened his Mouth as wide as could be, and really YELLED< MEOW!!!! took me to the litter box, to----PEE!!!
The he ran, jumping back ontop of the huge Cat Tree.. now that I am up, he is content, on top of his quilt-- out like a light for the rest of the day...
I bet you are looking forward to a grand birthday celebration. I'll have to make a mental note of Artie's special day.His Birthday is upcoming.. a few more weeks, and he will be 14 years old...and a month later it will be our 6 year "Gotcha" Day
