Kitty Heart Murmur

I have heart disease. I don't like to talk about and I live a pretty normal life, but twice a year I have to go to the V E T so they can check my heart. Two weeks ago I had blood taken, my blood pressure checked, and an echocardiogram performed. Here I am weighing in at 10 pounds:

Normally I am the epitome of the perfect cat when I go to the vet, but they put me through entirely too much and I cried, screamed, and growled. After getting shaved in two very embarrassing places, the technician could not get blood out of my front leg so someone else had to take it from my back leg and bruised me. They took me away from my Momma to do all this and I was furious. I could tell Momma was about to break the door down and rescue me when she heard all the racket I made.  After the echocardiogram they finally reunited me with Momma and I could tell she had been crying. I leapt into her arms and consoled her the best I could and I let her reassure me as well. The vet then let Momma carry me back into the room with all the medical equipment in order to discuss the results of my echocardiogram. Momma was terrified at first looking at the sonogram pictures of my heart. The good news is my blood pressure was normal despite how upset I was and the echocardiogram results showed no deterioration. In fact one test, showed improvement. Both Momma and I sighed with relief and thanked God with prayers of gratitude.

Let's go home Momma!

As soon as I got home I had to clean every inch of myself to remove the vet smells and I was not thrilled with the missing fur, but it's been slowly growing back. Here is my tail where a small patch of fur was shaved to take my blood pressure:

This is where I got shaved for the echocardiogram:

A few days later the results of my blood test came back and thankfully they were normal too. It's so good to be home even if it's with less fur:

Inside Kitty Job: Part 2

These pictures are not the clearest because it is difficult to capture Shia's reconnaisance work:

Inside Kitty Job: Part 1

Yes, I am inside. Soon this will all be mine, minus the humans.

Shia has been coming inside the house every day and Momma really wants to convert her to an inside cat. The only problem is should the door close when Shia is inside, sounds come out of her that no cat should ever voice. She is completely terrified of being trapped inside. Sadness permeates Momma as she wonders what could have happened to this beautiful creature to make her so afraid to be inside with humans?

Kitty Valentine's Delay

Aleah doesn't quite understand human holidays, but she was excited to see this box:

As with anything new, Aleah quickly investigates: 

and decides the packing material is as good a toy as any:

She's pretty happy with her Valentine's day present:

Until Momma takes it away from her:

Even though she got some kitty treats in exchange, Aleah is not impressed with Valentine's day.
