Away too long....

[Russian Blue]

Hey everyone,

My life has been way too busy since I started working but I wanted to jump in to say that I'm still around. I usually only have half an hour before going to bed each week night to check the internet, so I usually only lurk now. Plus, stress from work is making me more exhausted.....but I'm surviving.

We've been doing pretty good, but I had to take Nakita to a holistic vet in Toronto since she has been scratching like crazy. It started in March, but has been getting worse and my normal vet couldn't figure out anything and wanted to put her straight onto drugs. Of course, I'm against that, since I would rather find the root cause, rather than cover it up by giving Nakita drugs. So I went to a holistic vet for allergy testing and will be going back next week for the results. Poor Nakita freaks out from the itching and tears across the room in agony. :( I may end up placing her on a raw diet, since it's very likely she has a food allergy. If you can, please send some positive vibes our way so we figure this out. We would really appreciate it!

Of course, I also wanted to share some pics, it has been way too long! ;) Nakita still loves to go for her daily walks and we have finally found the perfect walking harness for her......it's a bunny/ferret harness I found at Petsmart and it fits Nakita's 5 pound frame perfectly! I'm so happy I found a harness that fits her! :) So here are pics of 'Nakita the Blue Bunny' when we took her for a walk:

Hi Kass, it's great to hear from you. I'm sorry you are stressed out from work and can't relax by spending more time on PT.

Nakita, you look stunning as always and yvery elegant in your harness. I am sorry you have such bad itchies, but your mom will find out soon what is the matter and make them go away. Pets for you. :)

Nakita looks so pretty in her ferret/rabbit harnass!! Very nice!

*I just got that smaller harnass for one of my furry nephews...a dumbo rat named Sage. :) Its so cute to see it on Nakita!

Thanks everyone. We will be going to the vet on Wednesday for the test results so I hope that we can get all the 'itchies' gone from Nakita's system.

That's too funny. A rat and Nakita wearing the same harness. Now that's a size comparison you don't normally see!

Nakita is a beauty! Very elegant looking lady!! I love that harness!! That is a perfect cat harness... I have always preferred those to collars... I just have a problem with things around the neck on animals..

Nakita is as stunning as ever, I love the picture of her about to swat the dandilion seedhead! :)

Sorry to hear about the scratching, sending good luck wishes and positive thoughts that a solution is found. Hope to hear good news soon.

Oh Nakita! I've missed you! You're stunning as always! I too love that pic of you with the dandelion. I do hope the holistic vet figures out what's going on and that you're feeling better very soon. The M's send head bumpies and gentle kitty kisses.
