One week ago today, mommy took me to the vet. I wasn’t feeling great, so mommy was afraid of what the vet would say. Long story short, the vet told mommy she thought I could have one or two weeks left of quality time…if properly medicated.
So it’s been a week and I’m hanging in there. I’ve actually had much more of an appetite and have been eating a nice portion of kibbies each day. Mommy always congratulates me when she gets home and sees I’ve eaten a good amount, which is a great incentive to keep doing it.
My condition could change at any time, so mommy is keeping a close eye on me to make sure I’m a comfortable and happy kitty. Once I let her know I’m unhappy and have had enough, she will take me back to the vet and then they will send me directly to kitty heaven. Which brings me to my next topic…things that I’m sure will be in kitty heaven (in no particular order):
Did I forget anything? Please let me know.
Until next time,
Always and forever,
the best nut.
Since I last posted I’ve been back to the vet, spent two nights there, and had a big “canine” tooth extracted. The tooth was biting into my swollen gum, creating a sore, and the vet was concerned it’d eventually puncture my gum. So they removed it. Mommy picked me up and I was totally bonkers from the anesthesia. Luckily it wore off about 5 hours after mommy got me home, and I’ve acted pretty normal since then.
So I’m basically hanging out until something changes. I haven’t been eating a lot because it’s uncomfortable so I think I’ve lost some weight. Mommy keeps giving me funny stuff like tuna juice and chicken baby food but I won’t touch it. I exclusively eat dry food!
Anyway it’s time for a nap so I’m outta here. Talk to y’all soon.
Love, Nutty “Nugget” McNutsalot
Mommy took me to the vet again today. Unfortunately I’m not responding to the antibiotics I’ve been getting for 11 days. In fact, the doctor thinks my chin and mouth have become more swollen. Suspicion now is that I have an aggressive bone cancer. Mommy and I were very upset to hear this. The hope is that I can hang around for a while more with the help of some anti-inflammatory pain medication and some TLC…for as long as the swelling/discomfort doesn’t interfere with my eating and quality of life.
For the next week I’m staying at mommy Lauren’s house because favorite mommy is going on a business trip to Portland (bad timing). It’s strange being in a new place but I think I’ll be happier here because I will get a lot more attention and company during favorite mommy’s absence. If anyone wants to come visit me here, please contact mommy Lauren to make arrangements. I sure do love visitors.
Yours truly and forever,
Nutty von Nutterstein
Tonight Mommy took away my food. Last time this happened she took me to the vet and they made me take a nap. Anyway here I am, sticking my head through the railing, asking mommy where my kibbies are.
I run up the stairs to see mommy.
Hope everyone had a fun Christmas and got fun toys! Mommy and I dont celebrate the birth of Jesus per se, but I got extra Christmas pets while I ate my kibbies in the morning AND I got extra kisses. I’m such a lucky nut. L’chiam!
I’ve been hungrier than usual lately. This morning mommy went to fill my bowl and was shocked to find the bowl completely empty. Yup, I ate all the kibbies!
On another note, I have a new technique for waking mommy up in the morning. I start purring real loudly and then I bring my mouth right up to her ear, pretending to be interested in her earring. She usually says something about how loud I am but then she gets up and feeds me. Success!
