The vet called this after noons, and said "Stinky's kidneys aren't working." ): !@#!@#! ): She suggested we start him on SubQ fluid therapy. I'm bringing him back in tomorrow for a coaching session in how to administer them. I'm very apprehensive. Downright scared. What if I can't do it?

It was a year ago today that I sent my sweet boy to the RB, at the age of 17 years and nine months. I don't think I've been quite myself since then. -- Theresa and Dante Stinky Forever: http://pets.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh

Last evening, I was ensconced on the daybed, watching TV, and Stinky jumped up beside me. He climbed onto my chest, and said rrrrRRRRrrRrrr! rRrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrrr! Rrrrrow! This usually means his dish is empty or getting that way. So off we went to the kitchen to replenish the dishes. ...

Here he is, his Black and White Pinky Noseness! http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply...

I was at my computer and suddenly i hear the all too familiar sound of a kitten crying. I turn around and to my surprise, I see Stinky Nick at the TOP of the cat tree. My first thought was, "How the heck did you get all the way up there?" The poor guy looked at me and cried again. Then it hit...

With the New Year, my darling Stinky turns 17. He has slowed down somewhat, is noticeably stiffer, and has lost some body mass, but is still surprisingly active. He is still the sweetest cat in the world, but has become a bit more of a character-he's more directly demanding of attention, and...

A couple of weeks ago, I got a special mini-humidifier. I keep it by my bed at night, but it's small enough so I can move it around the house with me. Stinky loves it. Whereever it goes-- especially by the bed-- Stinky plants himself right in front of it, and mists himself. His coat is all...

He's in the house somewhere-- he never goes out and there's no way for him to get out. But it's the craziest thing-- I can't find him anywhere, and I've yelled myself hoarse. I would just let him have his ******* cat fun, if he didn't need his fluids, and I wasn't frightened to death that he's...

There is probably nothing I could put in a glass with the intention of drinking, that Stinky wouldn't come up and at least try to inspect. There are things he's not interested in, but he has to check first. That's just the way it is. ;) If it's milk or water, he'll usually stick his face in the...

I spoke to Stinky's vet this morning because his bloodwork was back. He is slightly anemic, and has a "slightly" elevated white count. I am going back there later to pick up the antibiotic-- then I have to bring him back for another blood test in three weeks. He is still very grumpy, poor angel. ...

For the first time in ages there were sardine pouches in the box and I took one out and realised it was a sardine one and without thinking said "Sarsi want stinky fish?" She did love sardine cat food I still miss my Sarsi Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs

Mischief just jumped on my lap and started rubbing and purring.....then I smelled it. "Missy, did you cut one?" No, her butt just stunk. No poo stuck to it, but it just stunk ewwwww stinky butt! Cat with stinky butt OFF the lap. :) You think since she cleans down there she would know that it

Stinky is back home from the vet. His own vet is on maternity leave, so we saw the boss vet of the practice. He said that Stinky is a very old cat, and that subQ is not a miracle cure. He also said that I was doing all I could and shouldn't beat myself up. He said that there may be other...

I got up a little too early to suit Stinky, and went out for my walk. While I was gone, my mom tells me that he reported straight to her and gave quite a speech. Stinky is very much my cat, although he likes my mom, and when I'm home, he spends much of his time trying to stick as much of his...

The kitten is imperturbable. He bounces around until he's exhausted, then he drops. He sleeps in vastly entertaining positions, stretching his tiny body into pretzel-like contortions. He loves to have a blanket dropped on him so he can fight his way out. Last night, my entire body constituted a...

One of many attractions of the computer chair is that it is beside a bright, sunny window-- hence there is always a showdown between me and Stinky for it. Still, Stinky does get long, uninterrupted stretches snoozing in the chair. And most of the fur on his upper body is black. And what does...

http://tinypic.com/hwifsw.jpg http://tinypic.com/hwifx3.jpg He's such a good cat!

Both cats here seem to be primarily attached to me-- not to say obsessed. ;) I am their Mommy, and they act that way. But they love my Mom, and I'm always happy to see them give her lerve. ;) Stinky likes to walk up to her while she is reading, and read her the riot act. This cracks both of us...

My sweet boy declined sharply over the weekend. His breathing is labored, he is too weak to walk, and I woke up in the middle of last night with him peeing in my bed. He wanted to walk around anyway, and he staggered around with me following him around. I don't want him to have any more...
