One of the things that I will miss the most about Tuscany is her purr. She has a rusty, squeaky, wheezy purr. It's of medium volume and it's the kind of purr that makes you smile. She also snores - but don't tell her I told.

One of Tuscany's favorite play things was tissue paper. She used to love laying on tissue. And she used to love having a shoe lace slid under the tissue paper so she could pounce on it and paw at it and bite at it. She would play that way for as long as either of us would oblige. I tried laying out some tissue paper a few weeks ago - she didn't want to have anything to do with it...

This am DH and I had more discussion - thinking that maybe by waiting til next Thursday it is too long. Tuscany just seemed more uncomfortable today and it almost now seems like the tight, tense skin over the mass is thinning. I hope it doesn't break thru before next week. I am going to talk with the vet tomorrow. I am thinking of increasing the bupe to a full .1 ml for the rest of the time. It is still within the allowed dose for her weight - but I will need to go get more to last til next Thursday.

It just seems amazing to me that Tuscany still has such a good appetite. In fact - she is eating more. It used to take her all day to finish her can - now she is polishing it off within the first 3-4 hours. I feel bad - so I put more food out (if I am home). Good thing we really aren't trying for control at this point in time - I think I'd have to go to an autofeeder if I was.

Our kitties love tissue paper! Nice that it's so affordable. I wonder if you can somehow record Tuscany's purr...or maybe you'd rather just keep it in your mind. My heart is so heavy for you right now. Hugs...

My heart goes out to you, DH and sweet Tuscany

Hi Joyce, Whatever decision you and DH make about the day will be the right one. You know your Tuscany. It's good that she's enjoying her food. It shows you that she cares for you and wants to show her appreciation. It's also a good thing that you can reminisce about her favorite activities and share those reminiscences with Tuscany. She is a brave girl and you and DH are brave beans. Savor those special moments together.
Hugs to you all,

Ella & Stu

I agree with Sienne. I'm very, very sorry that you are going through this, but I'm glad you're telling us stories. It's good to get to know her a little better.

Oh Joyce I so wish that you and your hubby and Tuscany weren't going through this. My heart aches for you. I love your stories. They are so special. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Thinking of you and Tuscany often. Aww, I love the snoring and the raspy purring, so cute.
I will put out some tissue paper for my kitties to play with - all in Tuscany's honor and call it Tuscany tissue paper. ♡ ♡

Another great Tuscany story. It's funny the things they love to play with isn't it? Muffin's favorite toy is just a piece of styrofoam like a packing peanut or something.
 
((( Joyce and DH ))) Tuscany is fortunate to have you two. I'm glad you're able to talk about it - with each other, and with us. I love hearing the stories, too.

P.S. I thought I'd seen a picture of your beautiful girl but don't recall if you had trouble getting the avatar created.
 
Thinking of you all this morning Joyce...sending hugs andl ove to the 3 of you at this time...
I am so happy that she is enjoying her food so much....simple pleasures, right? Thank you for sharing this time with us and all the stories you have...beautiufl memories of good times with sweet Tuscany....(((Joyce ~ DH ~ Tuscany)))
 
(((Tuscany, Joyce and DH)))

do you have recordings of her purrs and her snores? don't know if it's something you'll want to get, or if it'll be too painful. i have a couple of old recordings of meowzi snoring, and i think it's one of the cutest sounds in the world.
