yesterday including the punkin/anya video

dyana, i loved your "She is like his wife" comment - and several of you asked if anya is going with punkin to colorado. honestly, we had not even considered it before, but are now. if you're taking a pet on a trip it's a hassle, but what's the difference between 2 cats and 1 cat in the car? probably none - except that they would rather be together than not. so thanks for suggesting it because if all the blood tests come back next week with a green light, i think we'll probably have anya with us in the car on saturday as well.

road trip with cats. :shock: i can't even imagine. i'll need a second harness and leash!

punkin is happily resting sprawled on the coffee table with his eyes only semi-closed, waiting for me to make a move that might result in food! those cats make such a mess - they knock everything off onto the floor. good thing i love them.

Oh you cant split them up now!! I never thought Moonie would survive a long car trip, but she was fine from LI to Conn..before the hurricane when we were fleeing! But she was a Trooper!
So, Kitties get your traveling gear on!
Nice low yellow today, hope punkin turns blue! Happy Caturday & Hugs from us!

ROAD TRIP!!!! :lol: :lol: I wonder what kind of shennanigans Punkin and Anya will get into??? :lol: I hope we find out!
 
Re: 9/10 punkin amps 229

I've been out of the Punkin loop (and pretty much all other loops too) so I missed the planned CO trip. WOW!!
Sending prayers that all goes well.

I have a harness and leash you can borrow if you want.

Punkin and Anya going on a road trip to the wild, wild west! I wonder if they will want to climb a 14,000 footer on their adventure? I hope they get new hiking boots, with little vests and backpacks to match! :-D
 
Re: 9/10 punkin amps 229

well we of course roadtrip with the show cats a lot but they get so used to car travel :razz: I bet those 2 going together will keep each other so much company :-D
 
Re: 9/10 punkin amps 229

Gosh I can't believe it is next Saturday but I would definitely take Anya. And check in with the hotels on your way and make sure they don't use bug spray in the rooms....although they probably do because of bedbugs....which I don't know if the spray kills or not.

Nice AMPS for Mr. Handsome.

We travelled from AK across the country east and then back to NM with four cats and took the same four cats to Germany. Unfortunately, one crossed the RB there but we brought the other three back. Not sure how the SFs would travel although they are great in the car just to the vet and Teddi and Gus moved from Phx with us like little troopers.

Colorado, so soon! Punkin will probably be grateful for the moral support from Anya. How long will you be there? You guys are saints to go on the road with 2 cats. Punkin, you're gonna be all better :-D !

i'm a little discouraged tonight - i wish we had the tests sooner. took punkin out for another walk and - i don't know - he is definitely not your perky cat. he's walking so oddly, lifting his feet way high up - he's slipping a little on the smooth concrete although he was ok on the asphalt and grass. i can't tell if this is neuropathy or if he's walking weirdly because of the harness. now logically, i should be able to tell by how he walks in the house with the harness off, right? but there's no where he walks very far in the house.

we went around to the backyard and he just wanted to lie down on the patio. it is hot, but it's just like he's a sick old man, even though his BG's aren't too bad.

*sigh* i just need to be patient and wait for the test results.

the vet told me to take away his litter box the night before so he arrives tuesday morning with a full bladder. translate that into the World of Punkin and it would mean he would pee in the car on the way there. so i'm just going to give him an extra load of water at 7am and i'm sure by 8:30 there will be enough there - either that or we'll wait til it does fill up.

carolyn, thanks for the offer to borrow the harness & leash! i might take you up on that - will wait to see if we're for certain going.

punkin ate grass when he was out, of course, and just now acted like he was going to bring it back up. grabbed him and moved him to the bare floor. out came 2 drops of spit. my husband says "i'll get that one. the next one's yours." :lol:

don't put yourself out, honey. ;-)
 
Re: 9/10 punkin amps 229 +3/199 +6/165

Julie, had he been on a harness before? If not, that could be the reason. When my friend put one on her cat he acted like he was dead (literally) - just laid down in defeat. :roll:
 
hahaha i've heard that, carolyn. i took him out yesterday and the day before, just for a few minutes each time. he'll walk around with it and doesn't seem to mind it. it's more "why are you stalking me?" of a response. i don't think i'm supposed to be following him around outside!

i don't think he lifts his feet up all high in the house, so maybe it's just the feel of the harness on his belly.

i think i've just got cold feet. i want a crystal ball to tell me if he's healthy enough to be "worth" it. there's a shortage of crystal balls in my house, however! :lol:
 
yeah karrie - my thought exactly. it was literally like two 1/2" drops.

probably the next giftie will be loaded. that's the one that will be my "turn." :lol:
 
What a wonderful idea to take Anya too! They will both be happier that way. Hope the test results come back with a green light. Tarragon and Turnup did the same thing the first time we put the harness on. Have a wonderful evening!
 
I bet it's the harness. I've heard of many cats just "dropping" until they get used to the harness. So glad Anya will be going along for the ride...and I'm sure Punkin will be thrilled to have her with him!

That made me laugh! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Stop, drop, and roll is Jetson's usual performance when I try to put a harness on him :lol: he'll have none of it!
At least Punkin takes a bit of a stroll :smile:
And no more eating grass Mr. Punkin - that's for cows, ok?
