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!

Special delivery in the mail!

Everyday we sit in the big window and wait for the mail man. We always say hi to him and he says hi back. Today when mommy got the mail there was a little green sparkle ball and a green mousie in there for us!!! The mail man left us mail too! We are loving the new toys.

OH YA!!! Outside is back from the white place. It's starting to warm up so Grandma and Mommy took us outside for a little while Monday. We're so glad outside is back!!!

Uncle Winston went to the bridge.

Unlce Winston went to the bridge early this morning.
As sad as we all are, we couldn't have asked for a
better send off. He was sent off with all of us around and wrapped in grandma's blanket in grandpa's arms. He was cuddled right up until the end. We are feeling so blessed to have these 10 wonderful years end with such a send off of love.

sniffles and tears, C.C. & 'Nae & family.

update on uncle Winston

He's a tough guy!!! He's hanging in there. The cancer has spread up into his face with 1 tumor by his eye and another on his cheek. He's on pain killers twice a day and has switched to wet food. We're doing our best to snuggle him and kiss him a LOT! He's still moving around pretty well and doesn't seem to be uncomfortable. Please keep him in your purrs.
Thanks,
C.C. & 'Nae

PS: We're good. We found a new game to play. We push our toys under the fridge and go get mommy. She gets our toy and we start the game again. After a few rounds, Mommy takes the toy and us into the living room and closes the door to the kitchen. Then we play the game w/ the couch. After the eleventyfifth time mommy gets our toy and we push it back under, she says "tough" and throws us a new toy to play with. We then go get grandpa and grandma to get the first toy and they tell mommy she's being mean by not playing with us. We laugh. We Win!!!
