Hi, my name is....

My friend's sister (human) is named Deloris. People call her Blinkie - she has 2 functioning eyes, and I have NO idea where the nickname came from.

I think Arwen appreciated her name change.

I have cousin named James Forrest, his nickname is Tex. Go figure.

Arwen did appreciate the name change. She deserved a better name.

That she did.

I'm checking in to let everyone know that I had to go see Dr. K last Friday because I was not pooping. I have to take more yucky medicine and Meowmy is trying get me to eat more wet food. She was really happy when I left a large poop in the litter box today. people are really strange. Still I'm snubbing the wet food she has been offering me. I'm sure she will be buying more for me to snub. Antonio

Cousin, I'm so happy you are feeling better. Isn't it great? I had to go see the heart doctor today, and she said I will be taking yucky medicine two times a day forever. Harumph! My meowmy said she will buy me a new pill popper to make it easier, but I am not happy about it. I will try to be good so my meowmy does not need to get the liquid kind that costs more.

Thank you. Taking medicine is tough but Meowmy is quick and it's all over in a trice. Still milk her for all the treats you can. Tonio

Thank you for the advice, Cousin. I got treats to start my day today. This is a good thing!

Mouski

That is the best way ever to start a day. Meowmy is always saying eat dessert first anyway. Tonio

I got treats three times today. She gave me some when she went out for a while. I like this treat stuff. she hopes it is ok for my bladder, but so far they have been fine.

Right now Antonio is refusing to eat he is drinking but the not eating is distressing. Meowmy

I'm calling Dr. K tomorrow. He is alert, snuggled in on the Giant Cat Bed. I don't want to consider a feeding tube, he doesn't do well with vet procedures and this will require anethestics so that's not an option. This is a quality of life issue.

This is very troublesome.

We went to see Dr. K. this morning. He's lost another half a pound, I was given some medication to encourage him eat but it hasn't helped. He's scheduled for a sonogram tomorrow.

Quality of life is most important. It's the hardest thing to keep in mind when we face the big problems. Love to you and to Tonio.

Thank you. It's heartbreaking

I'm still stunned by all of this. Thank you, all of you for your kind words and prayers.

I want to thank you all of you for your support. I'm still trying to recover from the shock of it. Becky, thank you for your family for the lovely card. Meowmy
