Weekend Wrap Up

We enjoyed a lazy Sunday after a Caturday movie night of lounging in the blanket hammick with my sisfur Isabella...

Up until then though it wasn't so relaxed around here. Something happened to me Thursday night that Mommy can't figure out and I'm not telling either. At bedtime, I was in the master bathroom waiting for the nightly routine while Mommy was in the closet. The next thing she saw was me running out all crouched down. After searching for me all over, Daddy found me in the closet in our office which is a place I rarely go. I was skittish even after I was brought into the bedroom for my nightly treats. I wouldn't eat them and ran off again only this time I huddled in Daddy's chair where I usually only sit after he's made it warm so it was odd I was there with it being cold. I didn't wake Mommy up all night either but I did ask for treats about 7am although I wouldn't eat them. On Friday I kept going near Mommy like I wanted to jump in her lap but I wouldn't. I was still skittish and I'd go into small spaces and huddle in the meatloaf position again. Also, I wouldn't jump up on the counters by myself but would stand on my back legs and try to climb up until Mommy finally picked me up and helped me onto the counters. I did enjoy my treats Friday night and woke Mommy up through the night which she was actually happy about. Saturday morning I still wouldn't jump on the counters but by the afternoon I was pretty much back to normal and was able to jump on the counters myself. Mommy thinks I hurt myself Thursday night although she didn't hear me fall or make any noise whatsoever. Daddy thinks something scared me that they didn't hear but then doesn't know why I wouldn't jump up by myself. He says it could be because Mommy pampers me too much. Whatever. Anyway, I'm not saying anything but if you have any theories of what might have happened, Mommy would love to hear them. She's befuddled! 

Hope you had a good weekend and have a great Monday!

Hope you don't have a mysterious day!

Update on Sadie

First of all, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everybuddy for the well wishes, crossed paws and purrs for Sadie.  We can't thank you enough for keeping her in your thoughts and we appreciate all of you!

Although Sadie is still at the vet's, we wanted to update everybuddy on what they found out today which is basically that she's a mystery.  The ultrasound showed that she has old lady kidneys but it didn't indicate kidney failure so there's no explanation for why her kidney enzymes are sky high.  There's no sign of cancer or anything like that either.  There was a spot on her spleen and something else, which we forgot what Daddy said, that confirms the Cushings disease diagnosis but doesn't explain why she is feeling lethargic and won't eat and just makes a mess with her food like this:

  She's never been a messy eater but now she just licks her food and spits it out or most of the time she won't even touch it.  She did eat a little wet dog food (when mixed with cat food!), a little pancake and some ham yesterday.  Daddy also made cookies without chocolate chips so she could have some (actually, we all did!) and she liked those.  She turned her nose up at turkey, roast beef and even her favorite treats though so we don't know what's going on.  We've tried a lot of tricks (except baby food which Khyra just told us about) but hopefully we can find something that'll get her to eat.

A radiologist will look at the test results again tomorrow and the vet will call Daddy with a full report (because Mommy can't handle vet news - she's weird that way).  We're hoping to find something that we can fix instead of this big mystery of what is happening to her.

Thanks again for keeping her in your thoughts!

PeeS:  Another update:  The vet looked in her mouth while she was still sedated and didn't see anything causing her to have pain when eating but said that if she has an upset tummy she would act like something is bothering her mouth because she's not wanting to swallow the food.  We tried giving her Xantac but it made her throw up so we don't want to do that again!  We don't think she wants to do that again either!
