Trotting Lucy kitty off to the vet again.
Her tummy is upset.
Hope everyone is having a fairly boring week!

Felines and peoples,
Lucy kitty is home. Mom is glad. But she sure is having a time learning to feed her through that tube. The first time it took her an hour and a half to fill the 3 syringes. Good thing Lucy is so patient.
I tried to make Lucy feel at home again by attacking her this morning. Mom yelled at me to leave her alone. Yelled. At. Me.
I'm gonna pout until Mom realizes the error of her ways.
Anyway, until Mom gets the hang of things she says "sorry, I might be a bit late checking and commenting on your blogs."
Sure, Mom, apologize to them but not poor me.
*sad kitty sigh*

Home

Peoples and felines,
Miss Lucy Lou is home   :)

I'm so happy she is back.  Learning to tube feed her is a challenge but I'm hoping I'll not let Lucy down.

 

My friend, J, came on Thursday.  She brought my kitty brats a gift- "the Cat Dancer" 

The weather has turned quite chilly.  Time to enjoy a quiet moment in front of a fireplace.

Lunch with a Friend and Lucy gets cuddly

Folks, 
We kicked Mom out on Thursday so she could visit with her friend, J.  She took Mom out for lunch.  Mom said it was yummy.  The dessert was heavenly.  One slice of chocolate cheesecake and two forks!!

They took a long walk through a wooded park to enjoy the autumn leaves.

Right after the visit, Mom went to the vet's to feed Lucy.  Lucy meowed and went to see Mom.  Lucy stood on her hind paws and placed her front paws on Mom's shoulder so she could cuddle.  Hoping Sunday she can come home.

 

After her feeding, Lucy leaned into Mom's neck and cuddled for about 20 minutes.  It wasn't easy to leave her.

Don't worry, Mom, I'll be right here waiting for you with cuddles, too.

Autumn walks and tube feedings

Mom walked to the  grocery store this morning.  It's starting to look like autumn now!

After that, she went to the vet's office to get her 1st lesson in tube feeding Lucy.  Mom is queasy it wasn't easy for her, folks.

This is the vet demonstrating how to feed through the tube.

This is Lucy is her stainless steel "spa" room.  She was more alert today.

Lucy purred all during Mom's 1 hour visit.  But Lucy still couldn't come home.  Maybe tomorrow.

Mom-get it together!

We know Mom is worried about Lucy. She is still at the vet's. Her feeding tube was put in this morning. But us two boys are trying to get her pull it together --we need her healthy if she is going to take proper care of us. The other day she forgot to put her frozen meat back in the fridge. What a waste! She goes to bed late--2 am and wakes up early--4am.
We have encouraged her, with our subtle feline hypnosis-to get out there and do stuff. I think we were successful!
She kept her pedicure appointment today.  

oh la la!

She got her hair done.  She said the hair salon is so funky she is surprised they even let her inside! 

She took long walks outside and enjoyed the autumn leaves.

Finally, she went to visit Lucy and to watch how to tube feed her.

  More on that later!

We hope everyone had a great day.  Don't forget to cuddle your feline, folks!!

Thanksgiving and Lucy

Thanksgiving, a photo by cherithsky on Flickr.

It's Thanksgiving Day here in Canada.
My family lives out of town so I don't have the fun of celebrating with them and eating turkey. I was able to go out for breakfast with some friends, though.
I mentioned to them that Lucy was still at the vet's office and I mentioned I hadn't heard anything back yet from the vet. Since the office is closed over the long weekend, I was not sure what to expect and sent several e-mails and left a couple of voice mails asking how she was doing and when I could pick her up. My friend and her hubby suggested actually going to the office and knocking on the door. *sigh* I was desperate and, to my surprise Dr. B. was actually in and let us all in. The short version of what she said: The blood tests came back fine. But Lucy is still NOT eating. She wants to put in a feeding tube Tuesday morning and I can pick Lucy up on Wednesday. I asked if Lucy would be O.K and they vet said they were trying. (I'm trying not to dwell on that) She let me pick Lucy up. Lucy purred and cuddled and drooled with joy. I was so happy that I embarrassed myself by crying.

Winston-I'd be thankful if Mom would clue in to my subtle "feed me" hints

Lucy-always grateful for cuddles.

Oscar-always thankful for a nice, comfy snooze!
