mancat monday

Hi fellow cats -- Kit here.

This is an old picture, when I was skinnier.

Bad mom!  She forgot to give me my medicine treat this morning.  She got an email today from the v-e-t -- I am overdue for my physical.  She is going to wait until I was supposed to get my thyroid rechecked and get it all done at once.  She says I have had so many v-e-t visits, she wants to spare me as much as possible.  I'm on board with that plan!  I really hate the v-e-t.  I tried to bite a tech once.

Mom better not forget to give me my medicine treat tonight!  It is delicious.  Tuna flavor!

Hi fellow cats -- Kit here.

Emma and Buster asked how I am doing -- if I am eating well, if I have put on any weight.  The answer to both those questions is yes!  After our long, unsuccessful grain free experiment, Mom, with the vet's blessing, switched us back to our old food (although we have new crunchies that we like better than the old stuff).  I have been eating very well!  I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism exactly two months ago and the last time I was checked, a few weeks ago, I had put on over a pound.  I should get checked again soon.  I am eating my my medicine treat twice a day, no problem.  The latest batch is tuna flavored!  It isn't a pill pocket -- it's a soft chew that tastes great!  Mom says whoever came up with it is a genius.  So, I am doing very well.  Thanks for asking!

Mancat Monday -- UPDATED!

Hi fellow cats -- Kit here.

I am feeling kind of embarrassed, because my belly is shaved from my ultrasound.

I feel nekkid!  Here are my laser eyes to express my unhappiness.

I am getting thyroid medicine twice a day.  It is in the form of a soft treat.  The first few times, I ate it up.  The last two times, I just sniffed it.  Mom had to put it down my throat!  I didn't like that, but I am not holding it against her.  I am not a grudge-holding kitty.

So far the healthy food experiment is not going well.  Mom has only found one food that we like.  She keeps trying, though.  She did find some crunchies that we both like, so we are not starving.  Both Athena and I want our old stinky goodness back, yet Mom insists that this will be better for us.  Not if we won't eat it, Mom!

Still, I am not letting all of this get me down.  I think I'll just have a good stretch and then watch some birdie TV.  Maybe Mom will open the door today and I'll get to run outside!  Mom doesn't like when I do that, but it's fun for me!

UPDATED TO ADD:

Well, I tried to run outside but Mom grabbed me.  Listen to this!  I was having some nice window whiffies when that introoder Siamese came by my bush!  And just sat there and growled at me!  I growled back but he didn't move!  How infuriating!  Mom, let me out so I can deal with this guy!
