Man Cat Checkin' In

Here you go ladies....try to keep your mom's from swooning at my handsomeness.  I've been so frisky and fun lately, keeping everyone on their toes.  My favorite time of the day is lunch time when the people come home and I get some petting/purring time.  I'll have to get the Woman to get a picture of my beef-cake arm bands from when I was at the vet.  I've been really working on my man cat swagger and I have to expect the ladies will swoon if they see it.  Kaze doesn't, but she doesn't count as a girl cat.  She's just target practice that likes to sap my warmth.

The Woman's been OK, I haven't had to dislike her greatly in a while.  The Awesome Man is still awesome, of course.

Meezer Monday

I'm so cute, aren't I?  I mean really, look at how adorable I am.  We hand bunches of humans at our house over the weekend for the Toy Man's 30th birthday.  Of course, as the social host of the family, I had to put my adorableness to work.  I took it all in and just sat and watched for a while.  The I decided that the herd of blond sticky people was actually quite ripe to adore my gorgeous self.  I impressed everyone with my handsome friendly self and made a bunch of new friends.  Chase eventually played with the sticky people too but Kaze didn't join in the fun.

Happy Birthday Auntie E!

This is my Auntie E's grad school bag, this is how I learned the only way to get a grad student's attention is to climb in their bag and look really cute.  I love my Auntie E, she is MY person and I want to go live with her.  However she has exciting news that she will be having a Blurpy in September (just in time for my birthday!).  I love you Auntie E!

Happy 30th Birthday Tall Man/Toy Man/Awesome Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all love you very very very very much.  You keep us happy and feeling loved and played with while the Lap Lady has foresaken us for law school.  Without you we would be bored and miserable and feel unloved.  Thank you for being THE BEST cat dad ever.  For your birthday, I have given you a "plastic thing".  Please hide it for me ASAP so we can interact. 

Love,
Kaze & the Boys

Frootbat Friday

 Did you miss my ginormous frootbats?  I know, they really are spectacularly huge.  Guess what, the Lap Lady just completed her last day of her first year of law school, she made it an entire year!  She has an exam left to go but she came home tonight, sat on the couch, and thought....hmmm....time to blog!  Yeah!!

The Tall Man turns 30 on Saturday and he is super displeased.  I hear we are having a party with all sorts of people coming over to visit and I'm not so sure how I feel about that.  We've never had a "party" here before.

Hopefully the Lap Lady will catch up on photos and then we can do some better blogging.  For now, we're all happy and healthy (and we don't consider ourself 'chattel' no matter what the LL says).

P.S. 
Hi everyone, Latte here!!  I've been working hard being SUPER CUTE and prepping for my wedding anniversary with Chey on the 5th (I know I'm a man but I didn't forget!!).  I have a favor to ask of you friends.  You know how my "special person" is my Auntie E?  Well Auntie E is going to have a Blurpy in September!!  She started a new blog to track her exploits and if anyone is interested she has caught the blogger bug and really wants some new friends.  Auntie E's Blog

Photos

I'm feeling good! I have a couple of arm bands and a shaved tummy but other than that all worked out just fine for me. Kaze got it next and Latte never did. Viruses are not fun but they are better than other things. Look! She downloaded some photos!

Where the Man Cat tells you I AM NOT A PANSY MEEZER!

Dudes (And ladies). Thanks for the purrs, they've really helped me while I've been in this miserable steel hell-hole. They knocked me out. They x-rayed my insides, ultrasounded me, stuck far too many needles in me, and stole way too much blood.

What can I say, I'm a rock. All test came back inconclusive. Just as the vet was about to scratch his head and move on to the next horrific torture the humans figured something out.

Kaze now has the runs. And Latte's poos is heading there. Yeah, can you say VIRUS? You know, not something worth subjecting me to the hell of the vet for so long. No idea how it got in the house or why but generally everyone is jumping up and down and doing happy dances.

Yet still I sit in my prison cell while they "monitor" me and starve me to death. I need an escape plan, who's in with busting me out? Apparently I get to go home this evening.

(The Woman:)
Hi all, thank you SO much for all of your kind thoughts and worries about Chase, they have been such a comfort. I found Kaze's case of the runs last night and just about screamed for joy (though I'm sure she's less than thrilled). Called the vet first thing this morning and he was quite relieved as well. We'll be getting our big teddy bear back this evening and I fully expect to be shunned for a while. Though I did make the Awesome Man come with me when we dropped him off so maybe I won't get all of the blame?

Getting worse

(The Woman here)
Chase's blood work came back all normal but he actually is getting worse. He can't keep food down and he is still having very loose poo and frequently. Last night he was in so much pain he sucked his side in and was just staring into space.

I would have taken him to the vet last night but I was moving my horse to a new farm, and she needed me, so I could not make it back in time to get him to the vet. We took him in first thing this morning and they kept him to take some more x-rays (sedated this time) and then we'll see. The vet and I both think blockage of some sort right now. Not sure what it is as the x-rays don't look too bad. The ultra-sound lady will be out between 3-4 to get a better idea of what is going on. In the meantime Chase is being good for them and they are giving him fluids and some pain meds to make him feel better.

So keep the purrs coming!! Thanks everyone!
