Cat Drama pt 1 :xfaithnsinAugust 14 2009, 02:41:46 UTC
I promise, next time I am Michael's, I'll get pix. I REALLY wish we'd taken some last time *le sigh* I really think you'd love his place. It's a pity you're in different countries - you could probably be roommates or something and just buy/trade/display endless SW merchandise lol!! I agree re: the rulers et al. I'd totally forgotten all of that. Totally. It brought back a flood of memories just looking at everything lol
I knowwwww re: my dad. Honestly, I was beyond angry. He somewhat redeemed himself by taking Coco to the vet's assistant though. We had another drama with her last week when at 10.30 at night she limped into the study here and cried whenever her right back leg touched anything or when we picked her up. Naturally, whoever usually turns the answering machine/emergency number re-direct on at the vet's forgot to that night, so we had to hunt high and low for another vet (no joy). The lady Sasha got Coco from also works for the vet but was on holidays and we were at a loss as to what to do. Luckily, Sasha's boss/friend (who works right next door to the vet - which is how S spied Coco in the first place) - was able to contact the holidaying lady who was mercifully awake & gave her the number of the vet assistant who both knew & was happy to see Coco. (It was almost midnight by that stage x_x ) Us having no car though, called my dad and he took us. Turned out it was a sprain but wow - it was a nightmare drama. A kitten crying is distressing! Anyway, yes, redemption of sorts for my dad although I'm still a little pffft at him. /epic
Oh, I'm sorry - I thought I'd posted about Peaches ongoing illness? :x Perhaps I only thought I did. Sorry! Peaches is on a small dose of steroids for a recurring stomach problem. The vet thinks she has something lodged in her digestive system which has given her basically a cat version of IBS. She vomits on wet food and can only have special dry food. The last time she vomited there was blood in it which (obviously) totally freaked us out :S This is another drama, actually. Our original vet (whose name I have forgotten :x) is a woman in her 40's and experienced; she had to give up her practice due to stress on her marriage and she passed it on to a younger male (28) but she still fills in for him when he's on holidays or whatever. So the guy is the one that put Peaches on the pills but the woman was aghast when she found out (Sasha took Coco in for her 3 month check up while David (the guy) was away & she asked after Peaches b/c she obviously knows about her sensitive tummy) She told Sasha the pills were not meant as a long term solution and could end up shortening PP's life - she could be dead by 5 and she advized for Peaches to have exploratory surgery to find the source of the problem, which makes sense to us. But David was all no no no it's such a low dose it won't affect Peaches long term health but we're still wary so...gah, basically :S I should add that the surgery could be risky and older cats rarely survive it. Peaches most likely would though b/c she's only 2. Anyway, at the end of the day she is Sasha's baby so I'll see what she decides. At the moment she wants to try a interim option which is infant Gaviscon (it's like pepto bismal) - she wants to see if that will help and then take it from there. /epic pt 2
I knowwwwww. They're all so cuteee! And Coco is a little terror! She keeps playfully attacking Peaches while she's asleep! It's so mean! She's just so young still she wants to play play play play play lol.
Thanks for the sympathy & hugs re: mum :) I really appreciate it <3
Thanks again :) Oh, I skip tonnes of ONTD posts. I only look at the ones that interest me or ones I know for a fact will bring the lulz :P Spotify is really cool :D But I get you wouldn't want to mess with proxies. I wouldn't want to either lol.
Cat Drama pt 2 :xfaithnsinAugust 14 2009, 02:42:20 UTC
Oh, Coco will probably be bigger than Peaches and Misty. The assistant vet lady had 9 cats and S couldn't get over how big they were compared to M & P and it's true. Whenever I go home and see Bibi she looks like a monster b/c I'm so used to M & P. They really are mini cats and Coco is growing by leaps and bounds. Shes actually not far from Peaches size now! Seriously. And she's only 4 months old! I'm happy you enjoy the pics :) I sometimes feel lame for always posting cat pix lol so it's cool to hear I'm at least not boring one person on my f-list LOL
Awww. Really, like I said before, it's okay! I am pretty sure I've missed some of yours too in the past - it's really okay! :) <3
*edited to remove redundant sentence lol
Sorry for the long reply!! It's the cats fault lol :P
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xstargaterAugust 15 2009, 06:12:38 UTC
LOL, I can't imagine little Coco being bigger than P & M, she just looks so tiny in the pictures still! I love that P & M are mini-cats *squees* though they appear to tower over wee Coco which I think is too funny. Soon, she'll be big enough to hold her own against the others while romping about and causing mischief lol :P Noooo, I love the cat/kitten pictures & posts, I think they're adorable :) They're not lame nor boring pfffft!
Okies :)
Well, they are cute enough to talk about for a lengthy period of time :P
So, do have you gotten yourself a Coco icon to complement the P & M ones? :D
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xfaithnsinAugust 16 2009, 02:33:20 UTC
I know she looks tiny there! She was! She's had this amazing growth spurt since June though. Every day she seems bigger to me and I can't believe she's almost Peaches size already. I'm gobsmacked! I'll ask Sasha to upload more pics so I can post them for you to see :) Oh, she can more than hold her own now lol! She's a little devil. Her latest thing is to start playing with Misty or Peaches while they're asleep! Needless to say, that is not appreciated by either of them lol. I feel bad when she wakes them and just take Coco away and let them go back to sleep again :P Thanks for the reassurance :)
No! No Coco icon yet :( It's on Sasha's extremely long 'to do' list though :/ I know she WILL do it; it's just taking a while b/c she's so busy at work :) I'd try and make one myself in picnik but I want it in the same style as the Peaches and Misty ones so... I have to wait lol.
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xstargaterAugust 18 2009, 04:31:56 UTC
It's so funny how fast they can grow like that. One day they're your fluffy little kitten/puppy, the next they're your big cat/dog lol. Awwww @ C playing with M & P while they're asleep, surely she knows they don't like it much which is probably why she does it. Sooo cute. Awww @ you letting them go back to sleep, I'm sure they appreciate that totally :) And Coco's probably all "doh! foiled again!" LOL :P
Ahh, yeah I'd want them in the same style as well, understandable. You also should have one of all three of them together, soo cute. Btw, I love that you have icons of the cats :)
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xfaithnsinAugust 19 2009, 01:39:56 UTC
I'll never cease to be amazed at how fast Coco is growing lol. It's beyond fast actually lol She's not too bad at me foiling her fun. She usually just bounds off somewhere else. She's so cute *squee*
I knowww. I'll def. put in an order of the 3 of them together lol ;p Aw, thanks. I post about them so often it helps that I do have icons of them ;p
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xstargaterAugust 22 2009, 17:32:01 UTC
Awww she seems so cute indeed. Did Misty & Peaches seem to grow so fast? It seems like I remember you posting about them with pictures and whatnot and they were small and cute for a longer time. Maybe because they're just smaller cats *squees for all three kitties*
Do you think you could get all three to sit still together long enough for a photo? Lol. Indeed ;D
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xfaithnsinAugust 25 2009, 00:47:13 UTC
No! Misty and Peaches seemed to grow far, far more slowly! Coco's just grown so fast it's crazy! You may be right of course, it may be b/c they're smaller but they were definitely smaller for longer than Coco has been. Definitely. S has uploaded more Coco photos btw so I'll post a new update soon :)
I'm not sure if we can if they're all awake and active but when they're snuggling together we may have some luck :P
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xfaithnsinAugust 26 2009, 17:26:37 UTC
Hee. So it would seem ^.^
Yes! Sasha made me two! I don't have room for the other one yet tho. Sorting icons is sooo hardddd. I hate how LJ creates all this stupid stuff no one needs when the users have been harping on about unlimited icons forever and, iirc, we were even promised them -.- Stupid LJ. pft. /rant
Re: Cat Drama pt 2 :xstargaterAugust 27 2009, 21:30:56 UTC
Awww *squees again* I know, that is rather annoying. More icons are what everyone wants and continually asks for and for some reason they just keep putting it off. I don't get it. Pfft.
Re: Cat Drama pt 1 :xstargaterAugust 15 2009, 06:08:33 UTC
Yayyy!! I'd love to see it for sure :D But no rush or anything, if you have time and it's not a bother and he doesn't mind and all that'd be awesome :D I'm sure my measly collection would pale in comparison to his LOL that'd be too fun, it'd be like Random person: "what do you do all day?" Me: "I trade SW collectibles with my roommate!" lol :P Oddly enough it never really occurred much to me to keep a hold of those sorts of things like rulers, erasers etc... though I kind of wish I had :P
Yeah, I'm glad he at least took her to see the assistant for sure! Poor wee Coco, she just gets herself in a spot doesn't she? Of course the vet would be out of town, how does that always seem to happen when you really need them? It's so annoying. I'm glad she was able to be seen, a crying kitten is distressing indeed! Poor thing, I take it she's doing better and is probably romping about again?
I don't remember it but that could very well be my fault, I think I'm getting more and more forgetful as the days pass. Kitty IBS? Poor Peaches, it sounds dreadful for her. I can't believe that other vet would give her something that could do more harm then good! I hate hearing those things, it's sort of the same with people doctors, they just seem more apt to give you some pills and send you on your way as a short term fix instead of concentrating on actually fixing whatever's wrong :( At least you have a couple different options, that's a tough decision though, I really hope it turns out okay for P whatever S decides. So the Gaviscon, will it help whatever is in there go away you think or maybe just ease some of her troubles?
LOL! Coco does have that look of mischief about her :P It's so cute and kitteny *squees again*
Re: Cat Drama pt 1 :xfaithnsinAugust 16 2009, 02:32:28 UTC
Oh, it'd be no bother and I know he'd probably enjoy us taking pics. I just need another invite over is all ;p LOL@ random person exchange. I have a feeling you'd probably become a lot more hard core if you roomed with Michael b/c he goes to anything and everything to do with Star Wars lol. *imagines you both taking SW related trips to Tunisia and the like* :P Heh, don't worry - Brian didn't keep his SW rulers etc either. I honestly don't believe Michael used his tho. He has too many. I think if he DID use anything they're not with his displayed stuff b/c the displayed stuff is def. unused and pristine.
Yes, Coco is just beyond adept at hurting herself. It's uncanny lol. I used to think Peaches was bad but Coco leaves her for dead (so to speak :x) Oh yes, Coco is doing better indeed lol. Thanks for asking :) Sasha just bought her a nice velvety purple collar. It's exactly like Peaches and Misty's ones, except purple. It suits her sooo well :P
The Gaviscon won't fix what's wrong, no. I take it myself when i feel nauseous. It just eases the acids or w/e in your stomach I think and that's what the vet is hoping will help Peaches too. It'll ease her upset tummy but it won't remove the cause. This is why I think Sasha should risk the operation and get rid of whatever is lodged there :/ Poor Peaches. She has it tough. *luffs her*
Re: Cat Drama pt 1 :xstargaterAugust 18 2009, 04:27:35 UTC
Awesome :D *invites you over to Michael's* ;P Omg, a SW trip to Tunisia would be soooo awesome LOL. Has be been there before? I wouldn't be surprised if you said he had, he sounds like the ultimate SW fan :D Ahhh, good for him keeping it all so nicely, not an easy task for a young kid for sure.
Poor Coco, but she sounds so cute when she's playing and romping about as kittens do. Glad to hear she's doing better :) Awww at her purple collar *squees*
Ahh, yeah. I take Maalox for that, I'm sure it works much the same. Hopefully it'll help her upset tummy. I think I would agree with you, better to fix it now while you can instead of risk having it be so much harder on her when she's older. Poor Peaches indeed :/
*squees at your squee for squeeing at my squee about how cute the cats/kittens are* That's a lot of squeeing LOL :P
Re: Cat Drama pt 1 :xfaithnsinAugust 19 2009, 01:38:49 UTC
LOL! I'm not sure if Michael has been to Tunisia before but I really wouldn't be surprised if he had. He's someone who'd totally go just b/c it was filmed there lol I know he and Brian were planning on going this year b/c they invited me and I was O.o I asked Brian if he was aware of all the shots you need for Africa and he kind of went off the idea :x (he's such a wuss). I'll get back to you about that and let you know for sure :P
I am planning a post with Coco and the purple collar. I meant to snag a pic today actually and totally forgot :x I actually feel bad for Coco tbh. She's totally suffering from 'the youngest has the least photos' syndrome lol. Sasha has 40 million pics of Misty and Peaches and like 10 of Coco. I keep playfully teasing her about it but it's trueeeeee. Poor Coco. It's not like we can go back in time and take more kitten photos. *tisks Sasha*
ROTFL!! Wow, that IS a lot of squeeing! LOL! I'd squee too but I've lost count at where we're at ;p
Re: Cat Drama pt 1 :xstargaterAugust 22 2009, 17:29:24 UTC
hehee! I admit I'd be a bit concerned about going there for that reason too, all the shots and whatnot. But aside from that, it'd be pretty awesome to go though indeed :D hehe alrighty :P
Awwww. LOL the youngest syndrome, yes I can see that. But the photos you do have of her are so adorable from I've seen so far. This would be another reason for having a time machine, back in time and take more kitten photos ;P
