So in the middle of all of the stuff in the house, a small point of fun: four kittens romping in the back yard. Imagine my surprise to look out the back window and find a mamma kitty with four 6-8 week old kittens.
I’m going to have to contact the Knox Feral Cat rescue. Hopefully the kitties can be trapped and placed in homes. I love cats, but it isn’t fair to have four feral ones in my back yard.
Here is some good news, at least! Basette went back to the vet’s this morning. Her glucose levels were still high this morning and afternoon. However, after she recieved her insulin, her glucose levels plummeted from over 500 down to almost half that!! Woohoo! If Basette was here, I’d party. The vet was esctatic. I…
Ever notice how big cats are chickens? My big white cat, Ambush, is about 15 pounds. He is two or three times the weight of my smaller cat, Stella. Saturday was his routine diabetes check up at the vet’s. He scurried off to hide as soon as he saw the cat carrier come in from…

She wanted to play, and she wanted to play…
For the past few weeks, my white kitty, Ambush, has been having some difficulties. He has been sleeping more often, drinking two to three times the regular amount of water, and has been using the litter box frequently. He also started throwing up several times per week. Not hairball hacking like normal, but food. He…
It’s been a little while since I posted about Stella and Kiesha. Stella has been on meds to control high phosphourous levels in her blood. It’s made a huge difference: Stella is eating! After months and years of trying to get her to eat while her wait continuously dropped, she’s on the upswing. She has…
