Ka-bob's are magic!!!

'Nae weighed in @ 4.7 lbs on friday!!! No set back from her experiment w/ banana bread and the ka-bobs added the ounces!!! We're now slowing down the b-12 shot to everyother week and continuing the prednisone. Things are looking great!!! Grandma fired up the grill for grandpa's birthday, so everybody had grilled fish! Needless to say there was a little restlessness on the patio while we were waiting. It was a great day to celebrate and stuff the kitties!!!

Great holiday weekend!!!

We had our check up. C.C. is down to 15 1/2 pounds, Izzy is down to 9 pounds. Shadow is up to 21 and last but not least - 'Nae holding strong @ 4 1/2 pounds. Dr. Vogel and her helpers laugh at the difference between 'Nae and her sisters. Izzy is the mother to 2 big babies and a pip squeek. Grandma got the grill going and we're nommin' on ka-bobs ~ chicken and pork. There are left overs so we'll be happy for a few days. Mommy brought home some banana bread and 'Nae ate through the plastic bag to get into it. She's kinda in trouble for that. Mommy tried to put her in the corner. Yep - a nanosecond time out. Hopefully she didn't get enough in her few tiny bites to cause a back slide. Sunday it thundered so we all hung out in Mommy's bed and watched movies. C.C. spent the night in grandma and grandpa's bed acuz she is scared of thunder. 'Nae yelled at it but it just wouldn't listen to her. So, that was our weekend. Hope yours was fun and filling too!!!

Grandpa's whipped. hehe

Today, Grandpa was givin' 'Nae some turkey. He was trying to rip it into little pieces but 'Nae got too excited to wait and she bit him. Grandpa put it in the chopper to hurry. Then 'Nae got the whole piece!!! I got up on my chair so I could get some too. That's why Grandpa's rock!!! (Grandma rock's too) We're lucky kitties.

WOOHOO!!!! 'Nae keeps growing!

With our visit to the vet on Friday, 'Nae is a whopping 4 & 1/2 pounds. She is starting to grow a little tummy again and is noticably heavier. Not a lot, but noticable. We're continuing the B-12 shots and tuna fish with the prednisone pill. 'Nae is such a little trooper. I've been giving the shot and she is so patient with me. We're continuing the celebration daily. Funny how something so small can steal your heart so fast and bring so much joy to everyday life! Next week EVERYBODY goes... 3 have "Well Baby" check ups and everybody gets yearly shots. (Mommy only has to give 'Nae's B-12 shot.)

Good news for 'Nae!!!

We went to the vet yesterday for our 2nd B-12 shot and NAE IS OVER 4 POUNDS!!! Weighing in at a whopping 4.16, it looks like we're heading in the right direction! OK, we know she's still a very small kitty, but 4 pounds is a big deal for us. We just wanted to share the great news with all of you who take the time to purr for our family. Thank you all so much!

Jen, 'Nae & C.C.

on a different note: Question from Izzy (the momma cat): Why is it we kitties don't complain when humans take our temp in the worst possible location but humans complain when kittes put our tales in your mouths to check yours? Just wunderin'.

update on 'Nae

We're going to be trying vitamin B-12 shots and she is eating LOTS of tuna (packed in water). Since it's not something she has had before we felt it was safe to try. She's still very snuggly and playfull. It's hard to keep her out of the kitchen now. She actually hops into the fridge to be closer to her tuna fish. She's a goofy one - that girl!!! (like mother like daughter) Thank you all for your suggestions and purrs. We're so thankful for the support of the cb!

Small kitty needs your help!

Renae is losing weight again. She is now under 4 pounds (4 & 1/2 yrs old) and we're very worried about her. She has been on Science Diet ZD for food allergies for about a year and is now on Prednisone to see if part of the problem may be inflamed intestine (no signs showing up in tests run). We're running out of things to check for. She went through this about a year ago and her Thyroid and other usual blood tests came back good. She's had an ultrasound and that didn't show anything unusual. She is an indoor kitty and has had worm meds as a precaution but no signs of parasites were found. We're begging for ideas as to what to look at next for helping her. While our vet is fabulous, she too is getting frustrated not knowing how to help my little one. She has been searching the internet and calling other vets and the U of M to get suggestions. We all know the more minds - the better. Please, please post anything that may be useful for me to discuss with Dr. Vogel. We're willing to try anything to help 'Nae get a little bigger again. We'd love for her to be between 5 and 6 pounds again. Anything more is just a miracle past a blessing.

Thank you all in advance!
Jennifer, C.C. & 'Nae
