Contest Day is finally here! Meeeowzah! It is November 1st and as promised I am here to tell you the mews about the big contest going on over at my place.

We are having a great contest with a really super prize for the winner! $25 Gift Card to PetSmart and a $25 Donation in your name to a Charity that you and your Bean choose! How neat is that!? Think of all the nip you could buy with that… *droool*

I’m a kitty with non-discriminating tastes so I have told my Mom-Bean that we should make the contest open to all our furriends who are able to Raise a Paw. So any pet can enter… even the smelly woofies.

There is so much more, so hurry your Tails on over to check out the announcement here. Good Luck my Fluffy, Furry Friends! –Gaius the Cat

Miss Peach Update! Miss Peach stole hearts at the Vet this morning! She was such a good girl during it all. Her temperature was a bit low even though I heated up her peachy velvet blanket in the dryer before we left. The nice VET lady said her gums looked good and moist and this is a good sign that she is not too dehydrated. At this time there is not a need for Sub~Q’s. We did discuss this and I told the VET I would be willing to help if needed. She does have a icky ear on the right side….her high white count confirms infection. We got 2 medicines for this. Her weight is low….4lbs 13 oz…I might have to rename her Miss Twiggy:) They stole some of her blood and the results are better than expected. Most of her counts are good. Her kidney function is a little worse than last years results, but not as bad as the VET would have expected it to be in a years time! So this is good news indeed. But there is some bad new to report also. She has a cancerous mammary tumor on her tiny tummy that is not operable. We will watch this closely to see any level of discomfort. Peach will be on Prednisone for this new development. This will also help her appetite some the VET said!
Now something that I have to wrestle myself with is the fact that my absence may have triggered this whole unhappy turn of events:( A cat can grieve itself into not eating. Maybe I will never leave again……
SO the medicine is in the cat, the cat is snuggled in her warm bed by the fire and I will now take a nap and dream of all my beloved friends in the Blogosphere who purrrrayed for a miracle and the results are in…….we have more time…..the greatest gift you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return…..
I am beyond words right now to see that you have made a special CATagory for me in the Halloween costume contest that Skeezix threw! This is better for me than a catnip bath right now! Thank you so much for thinking about me…how can I ever repay the kindness of you kitties who stand by me purrrrring… when I can’t? Love your Miss Peach
