Betty giving directions

I noticed that QC's gone back to being a "she". From experience with
QC and Sonya, you know you'd get so many malpractice suits if you were
an ob/gyn.


I was waiting for you to snicker at me about QC. I'm not responsible for
problems with Sonya, as I was told that she was due at any minute, and had
little experience with pregnant cats to go by. BTW, Miss Sonya is such a
sweetie. Sometimes she looks at me that the slightly cross-eyed stare and I
have to keep from laughing. She gets insulted easily.

But as scared as she is of TED, she's shown impressive steel when it
comes to handling the treatments. She doesn't seem to have any side
effects so far at all!

Tak,
Purrs and best wishes for Betty to continue to do well.

trembly whiskers.

Poor baby, we're sending soothing purrs for all her TED visits. Glad to
hear she is doing so well after her treatments.

It's now getting to the point where Betty is becoming like a conductor
of the dinner. Every evening, she'll supervise me and point here and
there with her paw. "Yes, first get that can just take any one...
pull the top off. Good. Now get one of the small dishes over there,
no there, and a fork from the drawer too..."

Betty reminds me of the cat "Jenny" in the newly re-issued children's
stories about Jenny the cat who lives in New York. Dainty. Does anyone
else remember the books?

Biskit has similar body language to Betty, too. You really wonder why
they lost their original homes.

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for Betty,

They let me observe her chemotherapy today, and I don't think it's an
experience that a cat would get used to over time! Two techs held her
down, and slowly injected saline, then the drug, then saline again
into her thigh. They exclaimed that Betty is always such a good and
docile patient! She only cried sadly when she was first scruffed and
had her leg extended for the needle. But they do a good job with the
chemo.

Sounds like Betty is the conductor, and you're in the symphony?

Do good work.

Betty never used to pay attention to me filling her food dish. I free
fed her on dry Science Diet, and that was that, aside from occasional
treats.

But since Betty started taking medication, she gets a small amount of
wet food every evening. She's become accustomed to this, and will sit
purring and waiting at the spot where I give her her dish of wet food.

Occasionally, I wouldn't be working fast enough for her, and she would
look at me and wave or gesture with a little mitten. This would make
me look at her briefly, then work a bit faster at preparing her dish.

It's now getting to the point where Betty is becoming like a conductor
of the dinner. Every evening, she'll supervise me and point here and
there with her paw. "Yes, first get that can just take any one...

Oh, how cute is that! Thanks, Tak, for sharing that.

How is Betty doing now-a-days? How is she tolerating her treatments?

She's going in for her chemotherapy right now. She heard me take out
her carrier, so she's trying to be a small, inconspicuous bed lump. I
just looked under the covers, and there she is with huge eyes and

Poor sweetie. It's so upsetting when you see a confident cat get all
overwhelmed like that. Stinky is a completely different cat when he
has to go to the vet. I find it a little scary.


But as scared as she is of TED, she's shown impressive steel when it
comes to handling the treatments. She doesn't seem to have any side
effects so far at all

Hope that continues.

Yes, Jenny Linsky, and her brother Edward, and Pickles the Fire Cat.
Jenny had a little read scarf.

Dante is a Jenny-type kitty. Very slender and lithe.

I wonder why just about *any* cat does. I hate to think about how I
acquired Stinky, and the idea that someone threw away such an
absolutely *amazing* cat.

My little Mimi was a "poker." If ll her attempts to get your
attention failed, she would give you a couple good pokes with her
little paw. POKE POKE.
