Yesterday was.... recover from bouncing day... mostly pinks, but almost yellow pink. Things are slowly starting to come back down after that nasty bounce from his blue runs are few days ago. The PM cycle last night was a good one. Mannie settled into a nice mid-level blue surf. YAY! It was great to see that. :cool: I hope for a good day today, more blues would be so cool! Mannie - here's to you, some very strong feel better, be blue vines. Lubs ya big guy! cat_pet_icon

All is well in MannieLand. :-D :-D Yesterday we had to get in some urine samples to the IM vetty so they can begin to test Mannie for Cushings. That was fun.... not.... they need two consecutive days urine, from the morning hours. :shock: They were fairly adamant about morning samples, as close to the same hour as possible. seriously? It was like asking a cat to pee on cue. :shock: :shock: :lol: I kept thinking,... there is no way.... :roll: I recently started to introduce the Breeze litter system here, which, when I thought about it, would make urine collection a "breeze" since it runs through the pellets, collects in the tray and voila - sample! :cool: When Mannie got sick I moved that LB upstairs for him, for days when he struggled with the stairs. He really didn't use it much, still preferring to hobble on down the stairs, silly boy! anyways --- I told him the other night that I needed a pee sample. From about 6AM. So if he wouldn't mind, could he please pee in that box, at 6AM, so I could get a sample. well imagine my "OMG!" when he did just that. Right on cue. Got sample #1. the rest of the day he went downstairs. So... day two rolls around. same thing. told him I needed a pee sample, about 6 AM. Please use the upstairs LB. And I'll be damned, but that's what he did, right at 6AM! Sample #2 collected and off to the labs they went. I just could not believe that whole thing.... right on cue with the piddle... Well done Mannie! It's as if he knew it was needed so he could get better. How incredible is that! :razz: Appy has been good (picky !!!, but good), CPC yesterday and this morning, LB is normal, Ketones tests have been negative. Test was good this morning, as was the shoot. :cool: I think I can still say: Normalcy in MannieLand. :-D

Have a great day everyone! I am back on DGS duty for the rest of the week. Today will be a swim day for Nicholas. WOO HOO! Back in the pool! Paws crossed on the weather, as I hope we can get some outdoor time too. ..... I hope to visit condos when time permits, it is so tough to do while he is here. I will miss you guys! Think blue, think green kitties!

Hey everybody! What's up???? Anybody got anything they wanna do? I kinda wanna play in the snows... so I was thinking.... lets ride that train again,the one that serves fuds and stuff and head on up into the mountains and have some snow play. It will be so cool cuZ we don't hafta drive, the train will takes us and then we can have really good fuds afterwards. What'd'ya think? I hope they will let us blow the trains whistle again. SWEET! You guys in? Let me know. I am ready for anything!~~ Mannie

And completely OT: Here is the Picassa link to the photos from yesterday at the pool with Nicholas: Seattle Aquarium. The facebook photos are still there too, for anyone who prefers FB, just look me up! Videos can be found on FB.

Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326

Way to go Mannie!!! That is incredible. I swear they know what we are saying, but that is just the crazy cat lady in me talking right? Mannie definitely wants to feel better and knows you are doing everything you can. ((((Michelle)))) Good luck on the tests. We will be waiting with you. Have a great day with Nicholas!

Hey Mannie! The train sounds like a great idea. I love it when we get to blow the whistle and they have such good fuds. See ya soon ! - T
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326

Morning Michelle, t ~O) ~O) hat is so amazing how you were able to get the two pee samples in a row and at the same time. Mannie understood and wanted to help you. I swear they are smarter than humans. I hope you get the results back soon so you'll know what you're dealing with and cann begin treatment or rule it out hopefully. Sending more healing vines to Mannie. Those were some great pics of DGS yesterday swimming. He's really having the time of his life when swimming, so cute. :-D Have a great swim time today and hope the weather cooperate for a later adventure.
Mannie, the Triple Shot Cappuccinos were sooo good with the extra foam, Aunte Ann

Sounds great, Mannie, with the train ride up the mountain and play time in the snow and lots of good food on the train. See ya at my spot, Mags
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326

I am totally amazed at you getting those urine samples like you did too cool :cool: :cool: :cool: hope your day is a good one with DGS and Mannie comes down slow and steady today :mrgreen:
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326

Mannie, you are one super-smart kitty! And so good to your mamabean! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D The ~O) ~O) this morning is superb!

Good Morning, Michelle,
What a great thing about the pee collection on que! Looking like a nice day shaping up for the Mannster. (Edited to add: whoa, what happened at +2!!!) Enjoy the swim day with Nicholas and hopefully a little hike this afternoon.

Ella & Rusty

Yo Mannie, The SNOW TRAIN! Yes! We can ride with the engineer again and work the whistle. And we can eat all the good fuds. See ya later. Tomorrow I'm going to the City, so we can all gather there for our usual city pursuits. And the full moon is Monday. Maybe a full-moon party at the Castle in Central Park? Let's think about it, OK?

Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455

Hi guys .. that's awesome that mannie pee'd right on cue for you, exactly when/where you needed him too .. that's one smart dude! Now we just need him to kick these ugly colors and we'll be all set .. have a great weekend guys!
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455

I am not surprised at all. I so believe if you talk to your animals and ask them to do something they will. It just takes the beans a while to figure that out. Mannie is smart, he understands what you are asking for and he listens. Of course, he has to decide that he wants to do it and it's his idea.... :-D :-D

It's great that you got the needed samples and now the tests can be done to find out if Mannie is a boyie or a girlie! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And whatever he is, it's not going to change him at all. And if he does have cushings, then am I correct in thinking that shooting for blues is the lowest you want him to go?

Waiting for answers.......




Hey Mannie,

Why does my bean keep asking if you are a boyie or a girlie? I always thought you are a boyie and I have a lovely uniform, err outfit with your name on it made for boyies only.......Beans are silly sometimes...you know...

Hmmm snow, more snow....ick. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I am a warm weather girlie! But I do like train rides, especially when I can drive it really fast!

Oooh and the bean finally put all the rugs back in place and I promptly made sure to leave a little poo on three of them! Now, she has to clean them again! I so love that game. Making the bean wash all the rugs! :-D :-D :-D

Pick me up, I'll drive.

Signed Maui the Magnificent - all girlie
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455

Morning Michelle :smile:

Bit of a bounce from those nice blues... don't overdo it Mannie :!:

Have a great Friday!
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455

Wow on the pee demands from the IM vetty, and an even bigger WOW for Mannie for delivering as requested! How awesome are you, Mannie, to help your MamaBean out like that?!?!?!

Now..help your MamaBean out by turning that fuds spike around and surfing some blues again, OK?

Have a great day, Michelle!
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455, +4 370

:-D :-D :-D Loving the pee on cue! Mannie is such a cooperative boy and yes, definitely a boy! Don't you love the Breeze LB? It make collecting the samples so easy, especially great for ketone testing.

Manne, thanks so much for the special coffee this morning, just what we needed to get going today -- Auntie Annbean

Hoo Boy! Snow Train! The engineer was so nice last time letting us drive and blow the whistle! Hi must have kitties at home! Be right up there and I'l pick up the other CA kitters on the way! -- Tess
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455, +4 370, +7.5 359

359 @ +7.5. hmmmmm.... perhaps we have a yellow surf today. I am so glad that we have not done red today - and ANTI-JINX!

Morning Ella ~O) ~O) ~O) Isn't that something? I just could not believe it... what a guy! I know... we started out great and then BAM at +2. Alot I think due to the fast dip to the blues plus a higher carb fuds for the Main meal, as he just would not eat anything else :roll: ...... oh well, he seems to be headed down. And thx - swim was FUN, and I hope on the little mini hike. But... WOW n the weather which has gotten nasty: high winds lots of rains.... :roll:
Auntie Ella! THANKS YOU! I so want to help, so I did! :-D I am so glad that the ~O) ~O) was excellent - I tried real hard today to make them perfect! SWEET that they are. ~~ Mannie, kitteh barista

Morning Devon ~O) ~O) ~O) I thought so too - amazing, and am I ever so grateful! :-D :cool: and yes on the ugly colors! Last night was great. Today? Not so much...

Morning Hillary ~O) ~O) ~O) I so agree - Mannie proved that the past couple of days. One huge reason why I talk to him all the time about what is happening with him, what we hope to do, and always ask him to let me know when he disagrees. And yes - they need to decide that they want to go along with it all. Gotta be his choice! :-D :-D I know - I am glad that the urine collection when so well. LOL on the boyie or a girlie! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: and you are right, nothing will chnage him, and I have no plans to try.... And I think so for now: should he have cushings, then blues are what we will aim for. Right now I cannot rely on him eating like he would if he goes low, dives etc. That may all change as I get more into this, but for now if works, he's content with it, and in all honesty he seems best when he is a low blue. So... that is the target. :-D oh me too on the waiting for answers....

Morning Bruce ~O) ~O) ~O) and so I told him. Not too bad - we haven't made the red (anti-jinx) floor yet....

Morning Amy ~O) ~O) ~O) Yeah... I almost laughed when she told me what she needed. oh sure... 24 hour apart pee samples, and morning was needed. I really was so taken back when he delivered, just as asked. How very cool is that? These kitties are something else! And yes, I so hope on turning this around. Still pink, but we hope he can bring that down this afternoon/tonight. Paws crossed.

Morning Ann ~O) ~O) ~O) oh me too: another Mannie story for the books: pees on cue! :lol: :lol: :-D OH YES on the Breeze LB - it has made the ketone testing, the collection, all of it so so easy! and NO MESS! So glad I got it.
Auntie Ann - HOORAY! Mission accomplished then. I am one very happy Barista! ~~ Mannie, kitteh barista

Tess - yes-sir-ree! the SNOW TRAIN! H,mmmm... maybe he does! Then that makes him one cool dude, if he has kitties! Hey - thanks on getting all the CA kitties. Not too fast though k? Roads are really wet and slippery.... oooooooooooooo! on sewcond thought: Hydroplaning! FUNS! See you son ~~ Mannie

Maui! I know.... I don't get it. I checked this morning, and yupp! for a sure I be a boyie... silly beans.... heeheehee.... OK, you can drive the train, really fast. I'll distract the engineer and you can out the peddle to the medal. heeheehe you are too funny on the rugs... well done! heeheeheeehheheheeehheeee... on my way - yupp, you can drive! ~~ Mannie, boyie last time I checked

Rusty - Yupp!! THE SNOW TRAIN!!! :-D Cool - whistle and good fuds! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ THE BIG APPLE tomorrow????? I am so stoked - and can't wait. That is so cool! I Love the idea of full moon party at the Castle - that is mega cool! Sounds like a plan. We can talk about it on the train today. ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455, +4 370, +7.5 359

That's amazing on the pee samples. I always wonder how much my kitties understand when I talk to them. I hope you get the test results back quickly and can get a treatment plan started so Mannie will feel better soon.
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455, +4 370, +7.5 359

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Next time I need pee samples on demand....you're hired!! That is too funny! Did the vet say how long it will take to get the results back?

I'm glad Mannie is feeling pretty well; he's been through alot lately. But he is president of the CPC so he must set an example!

Hope you had a great day with DGS!
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455, +4 370, +7.5 359, +10 413

413 @ +10. ARGHHH! And there is that infamous +9/10 spike. Mannie... down dude, down... please.

Hi Carla - Unreal, isn't it! I know, me too. This time he had to have been hearing what I was saying... and decided he'd go along. Guess he too wants to feel better. :cool: ANd thanks, so do I on th results. I hope it doesn't take as long as the endocrinology stuff did! SO we play the waiting game...

Hi Marje - I couldn't believe it, and bowed down, gave him kiss, and thanked my lucky stars. :lol: :lol: I didn't ask,,, I was so caught up in how in the world am I going to get two consecutive sample with such rigid guidelines and it totally skipped my mind. sheshhh! :roll: :? :lol: I need to call and ask. And yes on Mannie. overall he does feel good. mobility/muscle weakness is an issue, sometimes he wobbles, but it doesn't seem to phase him. and yes on the being though alot... so many health issues! getting old just sucks sometimes for kitties too. ;-) It is nice though that he is maintaining his CPC status... though sometimes it takes a little encouragement. ;-) THX on DGS - swim day and it was fun. A little peace for me now while he naps. :cool:
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie AMPS 326, +2 455, +4 370, +7.5 359, +10 413

Mannie, Mannie, come down from there, please.

Michelle, its bad enough for you, having to grab pee on schedule, but to ask Mannie to do it too....and he does it ! :lol:
Amazing! :-D
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie PMPS 361

361 @ PMPS. YAY, we are down some from his +10. So.... maybe we can make that yellow floor at least tonight. Go for it Mannie!

Hi Barb :-D He seems to be working on that - we are down from "that color" - so paws crossed he read your post. I kn ow on that whole pee thing. sheshhh and omg... and thank you Mannie! Amazing says it well. :-D :-D
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie PMPS 361

Michelle - you are truly the cat whisperer if you can get two pee samples on two consecutive days. I can't imagine getting one from Neko. :shock: It's hard enough getting ketone tests in.

Mannie - you went up during the day, how about down during the night? Your bean asked for yellow but let's have a stretch goal of some nice mid blues please.

Definitely wild weather today. The rain has eased off and the sky is clearing but there is a good wind forecast for tomorrow. Have a good night!
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie PMPS 361

Wow, Mannie, on being such a smart dude!
Simply amazing, Michelle.

Come down and surf in the yellow tonight, Mannie manster! Or blues... :smile:
 
Re: 2/22 Mannie PMPS 361, +2 403

403 @ +2. sigh..... :YMSIGH: darn food spike!

Hi Wendy - oh I know on those pee samples. I couldn't believe it when I heard what they needed to test him. and for two days! :shock: :shock: :shock: I so know on what you wrote. I have never been successful in this before...ever. I am grateful for the Breeze litter system, which really made it work. I am hoping for blue tonight too. :-D It has been a wild weather day here too - crazy stuff! and lots of winds!!

Hi Josie - That he was! I thought so too - very amazing! We are hoping for a good surf tonight.
