Good Morning LL! Prayers to Jill and Mike for Mike's continued recovery. Sending healing vines to Tawny, JD, Rocket, and whoever else is needing them.

Today is Muffin's 13 month OTJ annifursary! And to celebrate, I'm taking her to the vet to recheck her bw and make sure everything is back to normal after her mystery infection last month. :shock: Didn't schedule that very well, did I? ohmygod_smile Oh well, sorry Baby Girl, I'll give you treats when we get home. I fully expect everything to come back normal. She is feeling good, eating well, and lots of furry purry loves for the bean. cat_pet_icon She does miss her play time, tho. The kittens are seriously cramping her style. :cry: She doesn't dare go down and play like she used to because the kittens hear her and come running to join in - she wants nothing to do with that. So I've decided that when I see that she is in a playful mood, I'll lock up the kittens and play with her. I think she'd like that.

Poor Sam (Muffin's mum) still refuses to come in the house because of the kittens. After our session with the animal communicator, I tried to slowly move her back inside by feeding her on the washing machine. She ate half a meal exactly twice, and now won't eat there at all. :roll: She has a cardboard box she's chosen to sleep in in the garage, so until I can figure out how to get her inside, I ordered her a heated kitty bed for Christmas.

Cleetus and Oscar are now 7 1/2 months old and crazy as ever! Cleetus, who is definitely DS's cat, has started joining me at bedtime each night for a rousing game of "undercover monster" where he chases my feet around under the covers. :lol: It's absolutely adorable, and I hope to get a video of it someday soon. Oscar is a typical teenager lately...the minute I tell him not to do something, he does it :roll: He is still my sweet loving little fella, tasked with getting me up each morning for breffis by climbing over and on my head, purring so much he drools all over my face, and throwing himself down to cuddle, always inadvertantly (I hope) smothering me in the process. :lol: He's such a darling. These two definitely are keeping life interesting around here.

Shnookie is just doing wonderfully on his diet. He's down to 18lbs 10oz! \M/ Lately he's been braving the presence of the kittens and "shnuggling" with me each morning, which I just love of course. He growls when Oscar gets too close with his morning "wake up the bean" antics, but he doesn't leave the bed. Of course all this gets me up quicker, because I have to referee...make sure Oscar stays on the opposite side of me that Shnookie's on. :roll: Here he is with his new sleek slim shiny self:

That just leaves Kibby...not much new with him. He continues to coexist with the kittens, not particularly caring if they're there or not. Same sweet boy he always is.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Re: 12/5 Muffin Checking in - Long with pics

Thanks Melissa! They sure are trouble! :lol: Muffin will be delivering the FDMB calendar to the vet today as well. And I forgot to post numbers for her - what's a condo without test numbers? :oops: Yesterday at am+1 she tested 84.
 
Re: 12/5 Muffin Checking in - Long with pics

Congratulations Muffin! She is looking really good!

I thought I'd add a photo from her video last year. This is how I imagine her avoiding the kittens playing...

Happy Annifursary to Muffin! Thanks for all the pix, Anne, and the stories. So glad Muffin is doing so well, and I know she'll appreciate solo play time.

Wish I could get Kitty to play undercover monster with me. :-D Will have to live vicariously, I guess.

Re: 12/5 Muffin Checking in - Long with pics

Vet visit went well. Muffin was very well behaved (as always) and didn't even shake like a leaf this time!

Kathy - Thanks! I'm sure she'll appreciate some one-on-one play time as well. DS is the one who started the undercover monster game with Cleetus, but he quit playing it. He only uses a comforter for covers, so I think he gets clawed a good bit. I have more blankets, so I'm safe under there. :lol:

Roni - Thank you so much! I have every confidence Muffin's labs will come back fine - she seems to be feeling 100%.

Moonie! I misses you so muches! I go find my cat fone so wez can text! - Lubs, Muffin
 
Re: 12/5 Muffin Checking in - Long with pics

thanks for the great update! Kitty politics are definitely complicated, but I guess I can understand. I wouldn't necessarily want new roommates forced upon me either.

Tell Muffin she doesn't have to get her ear poked to open a condo. ;-)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MUFFIN!! :RAHCAT :RAHCAT :RAHCAT
Hi Anne,
What a neat condo! It is so great to hear that Muffin is doing well and to read about the antics of the kittens and to see pics of your whole fur family. It sounds like there is never a dull moment in your house!
Enjoy Muffin's party and thanks so much for your visits to LL. It is always wonderful to hear from you.

Hugs,
Ella & Rusty

HAPPY ANNIFURSARY MUFFIN!!!

has it really been 13 months? it seems like just yesterday when Mannie had out his cookbooks, muttering over and over how he had to have the perfect fuds for Muffin's party. :-D

I love all the photos - I never realized just how many furkids you have. Wonderful! What a great family,. I wish you luck getting Sam back into the house. I think in time you will be successful.

Thanks for sharing - what a great condo!

Re: 12/5 Muffin Checking in - Long with pics

What a great family and loved the stories and pics, Anne! Happy, Happy annifursary to Muffin!
 
Thanks so much for visiting everyone!

Vet just called with Muffin's lab results. The main thing he wanted to check was the BUN - last month when she was sick, it came back at 9 (rr 15-34). While he didn't tell me exactly what it was this time (I'll pick up a copy of the results on Thursday) he did say it was back into normal range. Her ALT is up from 23 to 27 (rr 28-100) but she always is a little under normal, and he says it's not significant in an otherwise healthy cat. Glucose was 257 last month, now it's 130. T4 came back at 2.2 this time, last month it was 1.7, but the time before that it was 2.4 (rr 0.8-4.7) He says fluctuation there is normal, but that she may at some point develop hyperT. I remember him telling me that another time as well. It worries me a bit that she's often close to the "grey zone" but I know the symptoms to look for, so for now, no worries.

She's sitting at the window right now, having enjoyed her first breffis and first round of lovies with the bean. I wonder, is Mannie coming to get her? ;-)
 
so glad celi bumped your post up - i saw the subject line yesterday and wanted to make sure and look. LOVE your menagerie and all the pictures/stories! how fun!

muffin looks a bit bored in that picture! :lol:
 
Thanks Celi, he certainly thinks so! :lol:

Thanks for stopping by Julie. They ARE fun!

Claudia - so nice to see you, hope Rocket is doing better. Full house - more like a zoo around here! :lol:
