But I had a kupla relapses... :(
Skip down to 7/26 fur an uppy-date...

------------------------------------------
Herrow, All ~
It's me, Boots the Kat ~ Pawin out this Tail muself ~

My problem started a few weeks ago -
Wanderd in the baffroom to say Hi to Dad wun mornin. Felt the need to pee; so's I jumped inna sand box an hunkered down ta do it. Nuffin came out :confused:. Changed my mind after a minnit and left a smelley wun in anudder corner. Dad cleaned it up and furgot bout the no-pee thing.

Now me an Dad have this thing bout how long a box a sand otta last... When *I* think it's time for a change - I leave him a note (pee onna floor rite side the box - where he'll step :eek: in it!)
Guess I'z been leavin *notes* purdy offin lately - Sunday mornin, to be exact; after he washed the box Friday nite. Oopsie!! Dad wuz really :mad:!
Spent all Sunday locked inna bafroom.
Mundee mornin Dad comes in - no damp sand; but the rug is kinda *damp*. Uh-Oooh!
Jumped inna sand box an tried to pee as a show of good intent ~ Nuffin camed out...
Spent Mundee locked inna bafroom.

Mundee nite Dad checks - no damp sand. And then I *escapes* the baffroom. While I wuz *out* - Strange Damp Spot appears inna livin room (detected by a Daddy sock footsie). When I hear'd the **KAT!!!** I jumped inna fallin wadder klozet an waited fur the baffroom door *SLAM*!
Nudder nite in jail.

Tusdee morning; no damp sand - spent the day in jail again.
Tusdee nite I left a *note* onna floor in front a the sink - quickly note by Dad's socky foot. Any guess where I spent the nite? Yep - baffroom jail.

This mornin Dad comes in an I run over *purrrrin* up a storm, head bumpies, an leg rubbin. Jumped up an grab sum krunch frum my bowl onna vanity top; then hops down ta do sum sand box werk. Nuffin happenz.
Dad grabz the dinger phone and calls the Vet - no wun there yet... While he's leavin a message; I'z feelin the *need* so's I back up ta the klozet door an let go wiffa BIG squirt. *That* prompted anudder call the the Vet - I wus due at 12:30.
Dad sopped up the pee an put it inna baggie to take wiff us.

Got stuffed inna duffel sack and off we ALL went to the Shop. Neat place - TONS a stuff on desks and cabinets that need shufflin around. The Lab called early an said they had a no-show; so's we're due at 10:30. Dad finally *found* me an dusted off the cobby-webs and I gotz re-stuffed inna bag for the trip.

I wuz good wiffa nice guy (Doc Mike) inna Green skrubby shirt (how kum ya call em White Coats?) Wuz *purrrrrin* the hole time - eben when he stuck the thermie-meter stick up my rear :eek: end.

Gotz an owie-stick inna neck an Doc Mike showed Dad how ta jam a pill anna half down past my chomperz. Doc sez I gotz a *Urinary Infekshun* anna lil *fevur*; but I shud be OK after the biotik pills are gone in 10 dayz. He sez mebee Dad otta change the sand a lil more sooner - so's I dont get an atti-tude... Told ya, Dad!

I gotz dumped inna office and the Muttz got to go ta Petz Suppliez Plus ta pick up fresh sand for me. Cinner sez they gotz a new chewie bone an I gotz a new hi-side sand box (wiffa LID :mad: ) AND a new portable jail/carrier box - JEST what I wanted! Where's my TREATz?

Had a GREAT time inna Shop while they wuz gone shoppin - gotz a LOT of Dad's *stuff* moved around and onna floor... They brung the lil jail box in for the trip home - Good Luck stuffin me in THAT!

Most furgotz - Dad fixed up a sand box fur me here atta shop - lil plastik tub wiff sum sand - I hopped in an did a nice pee when they gotz back! Got a lotta *Good Kat* praise fur that!

Not gonna like life atta Ranch fur a while ~
Durn Doc Mike sez ta keep me *konfined* inna baffroom till I show that I'z back to a regelur *pee* routine inna sand box. Dad's gotta make sure I go *pee* ebber day an keep drinkin wadder. Dad sez I gotta sit inna lil jail box while he warshez the baffroom floor anna rug. And I dont get the rug back! Gotta sleep inna sink bowl onna towel!
NUTZ!

Dad better member to put my dope bag of *nip*, my toidy paper tubes, an sum krumpled up paper wads inna baffroom fur me to play wiff! Else I'll paw off the hole roll of toidy paper an filp his toofy brush onna floor!

I'z hungree - letz head fur the Ranch...

I'll ME-Ow at'cha all Laterz... (this puter pawin is Phunn!)

/s/ Boots, the Kat!

Dear Boots,

We are so sorry that it took so many notes for your Dad to sense something was wrong. I bet you didn't write dark enough. You know, sometimes humans just don't think like cats.

We hope you have a speedy recovery and that you get out of jail really soon.

Love,

Graemer, Miley and Gabe

[Pam]

Gee Boots we're sorry you're not feelin' too good. We're hopin' you gots a nice window there in the baffroom to look out of to help pass the time away while you are incarcerated! Hope the pills make you good as new and your plumbing starts workin' again the way it should. Your pals, Trevor and Andy

I waz sittin' on Mom's lappiez and waitin' fer him to tellz me how purrtyz I was but instead he asked Mom, "Whazz on your lap? A rat?!" :mad: :mad: I like rattiez, but puh-leaze! Rattiez don't have long beautious earz of velvoot! Or a cute LIL' tail (which Mom sez will you get youz a long wayz in diz worldz! :confused: )

Mom sez I gotz to make diz quickie cos we're gonna go to bedz soon. Just cos Mom iz tiredz doezn't mean I iz. :mad:

I hope you feelz betterz soon!!

Luv,
Sophie Bunnie

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Poor Boots, I and my four cat boys hope you are all better soon. 3 of them have had UTI too. The medicine made them all better. Hope yours does too. You and Pet Talk's Fister will need to swap stories 'cause sounds like he has the same thing. You should hear what they want to do to HIM!! All fingers and paws crossed here for your speedy return to health.

[Freckles]

Boots, sorry you had to resort to puddle notes to get your Dad's attention, but sounds like things will be under control soon.
See if you can talk him into trying Worlds's Best Cat Litter (http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/) It's a little spendy but if Dad will scoop out the unmentionables a couple of times a day, he'll find the remaining litter doesn't collect odors. I've even sniff tested (very carefully) month old litter and there is NO catty odor. Good luck with old Dad!

[Randi]

Hello Boots!

It sounds like you have the same problem as I do! But don't you worry, we're gonna be OK soon!! Since I overheard what the planning was for me, I thought it was for the best to show them, so I've just been in my litterbox and done a good pee - I didn't cover it up this time to make sure they noticed! I hear that they'll ring the guy in the white coat tomorrow and make arrangements for me, so I'm being real good now! You show your dad what you're able to do and he'll surrender. But make sure not to get locked in the bathroom again. Go and lay on top of him and purr as loud as you can and he'll forget all about it!

I sure hope you'll be feeling a lot better real soon!!

Loud purrs and headbumpies from
Fister! ;)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to here that you're not feeling well Boots. Storm, Pepper, and Sunny wish you well and hope that you have a speedy recovery. Please keep us posted. Good luck. All fingers and paws are crossed here.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Boots, the Kat, here by way of the Muttz ~

I'z talkin frum my baffroom jail cell to CinDip and SmudgePot - out inna hallway. Hope they member all this stuff ~

Thankz! to all my FurBuds fur writin their notes and sayin Hi! Fister: Hope yer Hoominz dropped that plan they had fur You! Uggggh!
Sophie: Did ya stick yer tongue out at the dumm Pawtrol Guy? A'rat' - whudda nerb!

Wenzday nite we all decided to head fur the Ranch - and I gotz to try out my new portable jail transport box... Phunn time had by all.

Dad tries stuffin me in backwards onna level floor = NOT! After the dust an fur settled; Cinder sez: "Dad, yer leakin red stuff onna arm bonez!"

Dad rounded Kat up and tried a head-on approach.
More red leaks onna armz. Found the Kat again an tried the Pet Talk Way - Box sittin upright wiffa door pointin up - stuff back legz in an *drop* Kat; quickly slam door. Kat's IN.

Smoke - ya member how many times Kat rolled the box over? Bet it wuz 2 or 3 komplete rolls!
Dad sez only a half-roll - Kat wound up uppy-side down. (And protesting :mad: , LOUDLY.)

Gotz home an Dad started warshin down the baffroom floor an put the (damp) rug inna garage.
Kat released inna clean baffroom jail cell wiffa new sand box. Kat eatz half a bowl of krunch while muttering.

Damp sand and poopiez found inna new sand box Thurzday AM & evening = good sign. Dad agrees to parole Kat at nite wiffa condition - stayz onna string leash held by Dad...

Not a purdy site! Kat turnz on 4-Paw Drive and headz for cover - unner the end table wiff magazeenz onna shelf. Twenny magz scattered; anna string wrapped round the table legz a dozen wrapz;
Kat skreemin :mad: like he'z bein strangled...

Order restored; Kat agreez to rest on Dad's lappy inna kliner chair. Eben startz *purrrrin*. :)

Pill time is ebry mornin. Took a while Thurzday - Dad tried our new pill-popper plunger thingy - but Doc Mike made it look a hole lot eazier kuz Dad had me pinned onna table! I finally agreed to lettin em go downa hatch after he pinned my butt onna vanity top wiffa arm an pried my chomperz open wiff dat same handpaw - he used da udder paw to pop the popper plunger. Sheeeze - Doc dint jam it THAT :eek: far down!

Sumbuddie axed - bout the view fromma jail... Ain't no burdz ta see kuz there ain't no view! No winnow :( inna baffroom. I'z prolly gonna ko-operate an use the new sand box allua time - hope that'll spring me inna few more dayz. Got so *smushed* rubbin onna *nip* baggy :D I almost dint hear the gang kum home on Thurzday!

I'll try ta make sum damp sand soon'z I hear em pull in tanite. That'll make pointz wiff Dad.

Tankz, ebberbuddie, fur thinkin of me.
*Mi-Owww* at'cha All Later...

/s/ Boots, the Kat

==========================

Cinder & Smokey here ~
That'z bout whut Bootsie tell'd us unner the jail cell door this mornin. Hope we gotz most of it rite :p!

[Rachel]

Boots, I hope you are feeling better and you and Dad have signed a truce (not in blood though). By the time you read this here's hoping you've been sprung and can go back to patroling the ranch house and supervising the Cinder and Smoke critters.

Hannah wants to tell you she went to the white coats today and came up with lots of new moves to avoid them doing stuff to you that you don't want to have done, but I says *No way, bad enough that Tucker saw those.*

[lizbud]

Dear Boots the Kat,

I'm glad you're feeling better.It's sure no fun to be
"jailed" in the bathroom. Take all your pills and get all
better. O. K.? Just want to tell you that I agree the
Patrol person is a NERB ,big time.:D

[zippy-kat]

Mizzer Bootzie,

We iz jist wonderin' how u iz. We hopez u iz gud 'n feelin' betterz dan eberz.

I still gotta *guard* the baffroom when Dad anna Dawgs go to werk; but they're purdy good bout *springin* me soon as they come home. Kant get ober how happie :D Dad getz whenebber he roots around inna sand box an finds a lil dampy spot! :rolleyes: Strangest things pleeze you Hoominz...

Now iffin we could jest get dunn wiifa pillz...
HATE that dang pill-popper thingy he gotz! I figgered out that iffin I dont *fuss* too bad he won't shove it half way down to my tummie affore he *pops* it. <ugggh>!

[AmberLee]

Oh, Boots! We had no idea what horrors you were going through! Hope you are feeling LOTS better now. Are all the nasty pills done? Sometimes basin-naps are nifty: specially on hot days. Hope you like 'em, too.

Cassy >^._.^< and Livvy >^._.^<

[lovemymaltese]

Sorry that your not feeling up to speed Boots.

[Gio]

Hey Boots,

how are you feeling these days?

[Cinder & Smoke]

Hi, Ebberbuddie ~ Boots here...

I'z feelin a lot better now - specially since those durn pillz are all gone an Dad haz quit *shootin* pillz down my mouf. Spent a lotta dayz inna baffroom jail; but when I pee'd inna box durrin the day; I gotz let out inna evenins for sum R&R wiffa Muttz. Iffin I pee'd just affore BigBed time; I gotz outta jail all nite :).

I'z drinkin bout the rite amount of wadder ebery day, and makin Dad happie by doin a kupla pees inna sandy box like I'z supposed to. He sure duz like findin *damp sand* inna mornin and at nite when the Gang kumz home frum werk! ;)

I tinkz we've arrived at an *unnerstandin* bout when to change the sand inna box. Dad gave up tryin to s-t-r-e-t-c-h a load a sand out fur two :mad: weekz... He uzes a lil less inna box each load; and I'll go fur a 7-10 day cycle - but that'z IT!

Cupla weekz ago he tried fur two :eek: weekz again...:mad:
I wuz gettin kinda *tweeked* an did a lotta pacin round inna baffroom wun mornin - lookin inna sandy box but neber gettin in... Jumped inna fallin wadder klozet an left him a pee in there as a note :rolleyes:.

Course I spent the day locked inna baffroom jail; but he gotz the hint. I did wun more pee inna box that day; gotz a lotta *Gud Boy'z* that nite; and he warshed out the box an gimmie a load of fresh-smellin sand. Wunder when the soft rug is gonna kum back inna baffroom? :( (It makes turnin the korner into the fallin wadder klozet a LOT quicker when wunna the Muttz is hot on my tail!)

I don't have ta *s-t-r-a-i-n* to do a pee ennie more; so I guess all thoze durm pillz Doc Mike gave me musta dun sum good... Glad nuffin went wrong wiffa <poop> masheenerie!!

TANKZ to alla you Pet Talker Buddies fur thinkin and prayin fur me!
Feelin *poorly* is no phunn!
But it sure helpz ta knowe yer Friendz are wurried bout ya!! :D

/s/ Boots, the Kat

[gini]

Boots, all of us are so glad that you are feeling so much better.

Those pill poppers aren't much fun - but you guys seem to have the fastest paws in the west (east) - so it makes it a lot easier on us humans to use them.

You take good care of yourself now - and maybe the fuzzy rug will return - I bet it was afraid of you.

[lovemymaltese]

glad to hear that you are feeling better boots.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to here that the pills are working and that you're able to pee again. I hope you get back to normal soon. Take care. :)

[Randi]

Boots, you're on the right track - keep on trucking! :D

Purrs and headbumpies from your pal,
Fister

[Karen]

Glad you're up to snuff there, Bootz - after all, when you're sickly, whose gonna keep those dogs in line? ;)

[Cinder & Smoke]

;) Hi, ebberbuddie ~
It'z me, Boots, da Kat. This here storrie is gonna be in a kupla partz.
It'z Friday mornin; and I'z doin this maself affore we head out fur anudder vist to Doc Mike's White Coat Lab.

After the June 19 visit to Doc Mike, I dun purdy good wiffa peein inna sandy box. Eben a week ago things were OK; all dun wiffa biotik pillz anna "acidifier" pillz; peein purdy good twict a day; Dad happie kuz I was usin the sand box; life wuz good - and I wuz outta JAIL! :D

Problem come'd back agin on last Friday nite - jest a lil spot a damp sand to show Dad when he gotz home. I volunteered to sleep inna baffroom. NO damp sand Saterday mornin, Nite or eben Sunday mornin... Did a good pee Sunday bout noon a-klok; but nuffin more till Munday. Dad had already tole me we wuz goin back to see Doc Mike - but I did a 'heroic effert' and jumped inna box bout 8:30 and made a lil damp sand - after a LOT of pushin and strainin. But to no avail - 9 AM and we're walkin in Doc's Place wiffout so much as a phone call to warn em. Doc wuz bout to start wiff Sir Jury on sum poor kritter, but tole the Skrubby Tech to keep em inna holdin cell fer a few minnits while he looked at me...

Bladder felt OK - had a lil innit; but Doc sez as long as I WUZ peein he'd lemmie go... AFTER he stuck that thermie stik up my butt AND jabbed me wiffa anudder biotik shot an two more bagz a pillz. We played *locked in jail all day and eat pillz* till Thurdsday - peein purdy good till Thurdsday nite when Dad caught me strainin to pee, and no dampy sand frum all day... Uhhh-Ooooh.

This mornin it wuz no go agin - tried reel hard atta Ranch. Dad loads me inna trakter kar - complete wiff home sandy box inna trunk - an I comed to the Shop wiffa hole Gang. Tried ta pee bout 3 or 4 more times atta Shop = Nuffin! :(. Dad callz Doc Mike an Miz Bev sez "Looks like Doc duzint get his half day off, again! Bring him in at 2:30." Cinder gave me her spot unner the puter an I kinda tossed an turned next to SmokeMutt, wiff an ocassional "YeeeeOwllll" till 2 a-klok when Dad tosses me inna kar. I member we gotz to Doc's and they wuz waitin fur me. He did a quick belly rub an tell'd Dad I hadda get a "catheter" thingy put in fur 4 dayz... Tha's the last I member...

Cinder here ~ guess I gotta tell the rest kuzza Kat's a reel mess :eek: - totally wiped out on druggz an floppin round lika phish outta wadder.

Smoke an me got reel wurried kuz Dad came back bout 2:30 WiffOUT da Kat! :eek:
"WHERE's our BOOTS, we axked him?"
Dad sez he's gettin a plummin jub dun - his drain is plugged. Goin back fur him inna hour.

Wheeeew, we sez!

4:45 PM Friday...
Dad jest comed back wiff lil Brudder Bootz...
Whadda sight / mess he iz!

Wrapped up in blue surgikal drapes like a lil baby...
Wearin a Funnell collar ober hiz headbone...
Eyeshades not werkin - jest starin, no blinkin...
Gosh - he ain't eben MOOVIN very much...

Dad keeps goin ober an moppin up unner him...
He's LEAKIN out a plastik PIPE stuck into his rear end! :eek: OMG! What'd Doc DO to him???

Dad sez he's gonna leak like that till Tuesday - when the pipe comes out. Dad called Unka Pat and lined up ta borrow their paper shredder anna box a newsy paperz. Dad's gonna fill up the falllin wadder klozet tubby wiff ground up newsy paper ta try an keep Boots a lil dryer than he is rite now.

6:30 PM
Well, he'z ALIVE an kickin a lil bit! :D
Dad keepz runnin ober an moppin up; and keeps squeezin sum *goop* in Bootsy's eyeballz. Gotta keep doin that till he startz *blinkin* hiz eyeshades by hizzelf. Guess he kant SEE so good - he panics ebery time Dad touches him till he reconnizes Dad's finners an voice. We're bein good an not botherin him too much ~ But we've both sed Hellow a kupla timez an he duzint seem to mind us bein close.

He'z UP! Nope, he felled ober onna udder side...
UP agin - an sorta *crawlin* round.

LOOKIT the d-i-r-t he'z pickin up offa floor!
OMG Dad ~ When'z the MAID do to come in here!?
Ooops! Sorrie, Dad. He dint think that wuz so phunnie

Boots iz sorda confined again - Dad put his string leash back on so's he kan't toddle all round the office. Rite now he's all snarled up round the puter chair an bein kinder quiet. Musta leaked out summa the fluidz they shoved unner his skin tween the shoulder blades - he'z not dribblin out the pipe so bad now. Dad jest *goop'd* hiz eyeballs agin - still ain't blinkin.

Kinder nice in here - Dad turned onna air freezer ta make Boots feel better ~
How'z kum WE don't get the kool air when we're werkin here all day??!

Dad sez we're gonna take off fur the Ranch soon. Gotta pick up the paper supplies at Unka Pat's and get sum ground up fur the tub. Then I guess we gotta try an clean the poor Kat up a liddel. Gonna take a lotta baby wiperz ta get him prezentabul again.

Case yer wunderin - Doc tell'd Dad the Boots otta be OK iffin we keep poppin "acidifier" pillz inta him. He'z gonna get TWO ebery day fur a while ta make sure he duzint plug up rite away agin. But he don't get ANY food or pillz till tumorrow at the urliest - kuz he kant swaller rite now.

That'z all fur now - prolly be Kat-sittin all weekend atta Ranch and not get you guyz anudder uppy-date till Mundey - so don't wurrie too much!

But iffin you got the time - a kupla Prayers an sum Krossed Pawz wood be reelee Appreciated by Boots, Dad, Smokey an me!

[Karen]

Mister Boots, Geez, I had no idea that wettin the sand could be so much trouble. It's something I take for granted. All I ask is that Mom keep the box clean.

I am really sorry to hear of all of your troubles, but it does sound as though all of your buddies have rallied around you.

I got my paws crossed for you and Mom said she will teach me how to pray.

Get better real soon, ya hear?

Your friend, Mister Rascal

[Pam]

Oh Boots we've been readin' over Mom's shoulder and we could hardly believe our eyes. We hate hearin' about our buddy bein' so sick and havin' to go to the white coats and gettin' werked on an all. Gee, now we don't feel so bad when we see our Mom havin' to scoop our sand alla time. Guess it makes her happy to see that we made it wet. It was nice of Cinder to write some werds to all of the humans at Pet Talk. I guess sometimes dawgs aren't so bad after all. We're gonna fold our paws tonight and bow our little kitty heads and send up some prayers for you. Maybe Bella will say some too. You take care of yourself Boots.
Your pals, Trevor and Andy

[AmberLee]

Oh Boots!!!

:eek: All our paws are crossed for ya here, buddy! Mommy's saying prayers, too. Sorry you're feeling so yucky. Glad your friends are there for you.

Oh poor Boots, what a month he has had and now all this. Dad sure is a good Daddy, taking good care of Boots when he is so sick and needs so much looking after. Cinder and Smoke I think you need to do some shopping and get Dad one of the #1 Dad cups or something.

Boots, please get well. No matter how much the dogs complain about you, you know they love you and Dad doesn't like to see you feeling so poorly. It hurts his heart. The Pet Talkers are going to get to praying for you real hard.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh Boots, so sorry to hear you're plummn's not werking right again. :( Don't go wobbln round too much. Just get sum rest and cuddle wif Cinderz and Smokez and yur dad and do wutever Doc Mike sez and yu shud be good as new in no time.

I hereby dub thee Count (and get well!)

Lady Edwina (on behalf of the Queen.)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I bet you'll be happy to see your sand box again - and use it! ;) You may have to get some different crunchies - that is, if you don't already are getting those, - and keep swallowing the little round pills for a few more days, they will do you good, so you keep your spirit high, Boots!! :D

You say Hi to Cinder, Smoke and your dad too!

Keeping our paws and all crossed here, just in case! :)

Purrs and nosekisses from,

[Dixieland Dancer]

Hey there Mizzer Boots - oh sorry - Count of Catnip! I don't usually talk on the Cat board but when I heard you weren't feeling good, I just had to stop over! My Mister Marty had the exact same problem. Once it was cleared up, the Doc put him on a low ash and magnesium food.

Our doc said that it is common in male cats that are neutered and are around the age of 1 1/2 to 3 to have this problem. Hills makes a prescription diet food that is low in both ash and magnesium. Purina just came out with a special urinary tract formula.

I sure do hope your feeling better in no time. I know your family is really worried about you!

[gini]

Hi ya Boots, Rascal here.

The white coat put me on some Hilly diet and Mom kinda complained because it is spensive. (I don't know what spensive is but she said it was, maybe it means special).

Gotta tell ya that I jus love it. I hafta round up Mom every mornin to be sure the bowl is full before I go back for my morning nap.

Anyway, hope yur feelin much better. That pee thingamajiggy doesn't sound like much fun.

[Cinder & Smoke]

The visit wiff Doc wuzint half as bad as the gettin reddy part... Dad finally toddled off to Wallys Joint an got the baby wiperz. Don't they make dem things WIFFOUT the stinky purfume on em??!

Dad started wipin - the on top part wuz OK - it wuz when he started doin the tummie anna privates I gotz a lil uppyset. *I* dint knowe it, but when I wuz *out* at the White Coat Lab last Friday - Doc did a big trim job on my Klawz (rite after Dad dun it affore I went! :mad:

Please keep taking your pills & get to feeling like your ole

(None a dat girlie kissie stuff!:D) Love, per pals in fur, Mr. B and Oliver!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Oh, my, Boots!!! What a time you've had. I bet you smelled real *purdy* too after the wipies were used on you. Now you be good and make wet sand to please your poppa. I'm so glad you are feeling better.:D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'm so glad you're feelin' better, Boots. You had a tough time of it with that pipe & collar. And to think they snipped you're claws too! How do they expect you to defend yourself against those stinky baby wipies! I know it's no fun, but take your pills whenever your dad gives them to you and keep making the sand damp so you don't have to go through this again. You're such a brave kitty to put up with all this, but hopefully you'll be better from now on. Head bumpies & chin scritchies from Tubby & Peanut. Oh, and don't forget to treat Cinder & Smoke real nice for being such good fur buddies while you were incapacitated. :)

[Cinder & Smoke]

:( The Boots FurKid has another problem...

Sometime after the catheter was removed, Boots, the Kat pee'd a small amount of blood stained urine in the car; and repeated the small, bloody, urine deposits several times at the Ranch last night and this AM in both the sand box and :eek: the tub.

Called Doc Mike and was advised that this bloody urine is "sometimes common" after a URI and catheter combination... We're to confine him (more Jail Time :( ), keep a close watch on him, and call back in the AM with the overnight report.

He DOES eliminate urine - so that's a good sign.
He wasn't really interested in drinking - so he got *treated* to several shots of water delivered down the hatch via an old syringe (without needle). He wasn't :) after 3 squirts.

A gross observation: This morning after he pee'd a little in the tub; he immediately started licking it back up :p! Never done THAT before - he's only pee'd outside the box as a definate MESSAGE to me that the box needed to be tidied up and fresh sand installed! Possibly he was confused - no papers in the tub and he's been IN there (WITH papers) for 4 days... Prolly should have put more papers down today = bad, dumb, Dad :(. He HAS used the litter several times - don't understand the in-the-tub pee and then his trying to clean it up?

He has eaten some krunch - not much - but it IS hot & humid; and he doesn't eat more than a few bites at any one sitting = he's a constant nibbler.

Getting a clean urine sample is going to be a challenge... If he's still making bloody urine tonight or in the morning - I guess it's back to Doc Mike's to be caged and "encouraged" to drop a sample in the drip pan...

Dang it! I thought we were out of the woods...

Guess it's time for US to ask for the Pet Talk Prayers and Crossed Klawz & Pawz for the Boots.
Please keep him (and us) in your Prayers and Thoughts... Thanks Friends!

Zippy ~
Your link to the Merck Vet Manual:

"Merck Vet Manual" (http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp) is Greatly Appreciated! :D

Very Informative - after I figgered out that "hematuria" is Vet Talk for *blood in the urine* :rolleyes:

There won't be much following tonight - We're headed back to the Ranch purdy quick-soon to check up on the Tux FurBall... ;).

/s/ Phred & the FurKids

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Gosh, Boots you're sure having a rough time right now. I have heard of animals (people too) having blood in their urine after a cathether removal. It irritates the private parts and has to hurt. Here's hoping it clears all up and you have no more trouble. Extra prayes are on the way, just in case you need them.:eek:

[tatsxxx11]

Yup Phred, bloody pee for a brief time period is fairly common following a lengthy period of catheterization. It's can be a rather traumatic procedure, sometimes causing irritation of the bladder. Poor Boots!!:( Poor Dad:( You're giving it all you got, that's for sure. And I'm sure Boots surely does appreciate his Dad being such a good nurse!;) We're sending along some MIGHTY HEFTY prayers and positive thoughts that this is just a little set back. You hang in there Boots! (And Dad too!) Please check in asap with an update tomorrow! Boots Man, Mr. B and the Olive Pit are sending along their bestest headbumpies and paw pats to their fur pal!! Get Well Soon!!!!!

[gini]

Hi Boots, Rascal here again.

Mom read to me what you are going through and I said MEOUCH!

We will both say prayers for you tonight and keep checking up on you.

Here's hoping you are feeling better real soon!

[lynnestankard]

[Randi]

Poor Boots - and Phred! :( We sure hope it's just a minor set back, after having the cahteter removed and that all will be back to normal pretty soon!

We're sending extra prayers and headbumpies your way! Hang in there! ;)

All fingers and paws are crossed for you! :)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Poor Boots! I just got done writing yesterday about how happy I was you're feeling better, then your dad told us you're still have troubles. I hope it's just a minor setback and just 'cause of that ol' pee pipe. Durn thing! Sure hope you're feelin' better soon - and fur good too!

[Cinder & Smoke]

:rolleyes: Hazint been a good day...

We bought Boots the Kat a gallun of good spring drinkin wadder onna way home last nite. Dad loaded him up on good wadder wiffa syringe sqwirt gun an put fresh papurz inna tubby when we gotz to da Ranch. He dint wanna eat any krunchiez...

Bout midnite Dad checked him an found him squattin unna tub tryin to pee - nuffin happnin :(.
He musta spent mosta the nite inna tubby - eben tho Dad left the door open so's he could have the hole baffroom iffin he wanted to wander.

Mornin came an no pawprintz inna sandy box - no damp sand. Kat'z layin inna tub - lotta lil tiny *pink* dribble marks onna papurz - but a purdy good poop there, too.

Dad scooped the KatKid up an plopped him onna vanity next to his krunch bowl an wadder. He mouthed a krunch an lay down on his side an looked at Dad wiffa I dont feel so good look...
Ate a kupla krunchies frum Dad's finners, then flopped back down. We heard Dad callin Doc Mike's Place - tell'd em we wuz onna way - reddy or not!
Doc wuz inna Sir Jury room - so Boots got put inna cell an we came to the Shop ta wait...

Nurse Bev kalled at noon - Boots wuz onna Sir Jury table - plugged up agin! :( Whadda we wanna do? Doc sed he'll prolly keep pluggin up...

Dad started leakin frumm eyez... Then sed fur Doc to unplug him agin an we'd find a way to get him re-plummed.
Dad called the spensive klinik - but they wuz gone onna 2 hour lunchy break.
Then he called our Buddie Doc Lisa - she werks atta City Rescue & Vet klinik an gives the Rabies owiez atta Fire Station... She got onna phone dinger wiff Dad rite away (onlee Vet we knowe of that knowez how to talk onna phone!) an they hadda loooong talk...

Doc Lisa sed she wanted to talk to Doc Mike - she sed might try wun more *catheter treatment* to see iffin he'd stay open... Dad jumped inna kar an zipped off to Doc Mike's Place to retrieve da Boots an ax Doc to pleeze call Doc Lisa.

After the Docs talked, Dad called Doc Lisa to make the plans...
Boots gotta be in Towne by 8:30 inna mornin fur an x-e-ray (lookin for *rockz* inna bladdur), then he getz the purdy drastik change in hiz plummin :eek: that removes hiz reguler pee pipe an hookz him up to a new spigot hole in hiz tummy. Both Docs think this iz the onlee way to keep him peein - an they say he won't mind or have any trubble figgerin out how to *flush*. They sed he winds up wiffa a bigger an shorter *hose* inside - better able to pass the sand he makes that plugs up the lil nozzle he gotz when he hatched as a *guy*.

Be in Towne at 8:30 AM? Yiipes! Dad dont do morning so good... :rolleyes: Doc Lisa sed he *could* go home aftur lunch tamorrow - but she offur'd to come in on Saturday mornin (her day off) an give him a extree check iffin we wunted to leave him there ober nite. She sed we could all decide that Friday after lunch.

OMG! Where'z da KAT?
He wuz layin onna old pair a Fire Pantz beside the printer - he'z :eek: GONE!
Who wuz suppozed to be >watchin< him?!
Follow the lil pee dribblez Dad - gotta be inna offis sumwhere... *Trakz* sez he made it allua way round the room! Staggerin round unner the desk!
End of the wanderin - roped up to the puter chair now. Put summore *lube goop* in hiz eyez Dad - he aint blinkin yet.

Hey Miz Tonya ~
Dad sed fur us to tell ya THANKz Sooo Much fur callin yer *Zippy's Prayer Patrol* an askin them to help wiffa Prayerz. Must be werkin ~
Kuz we still got our Boots!!!! :D

Pleeze think sum Prayerz for Boots tamorrow mornin while Doc Lisa an Sir Jury are werkin on the KatKid. We'll post as soon as we hear frum Doc Lisa.

Prayers from Freckles (the person) and Freckles (the cat) to your entire family.

Poor baby Boots....you will surely be in my prayers all morning tomorrow and until you get better.

God Bless you little sweetie.

Dear Boots,

[Dixieland Dancer]

Phred, Boots, Cinder and Smokey, we have all our finger, legs, paws and everything else we can manage crossed for Boots to get well real soon.

Phred,
I went through the same thing with our cat Marty not even a year ago. Here is the link I posted then. (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5852)

I reread the thread and it doesn't mention that eventually Marty did have surgery. He is fine now and is on the Hill's Prescription UT food. The high ash content causes stones to develop and being on a low ash and magnesium diet is the best preventative medicine to gaurd against it reoccuring (per my vet).

It is scarey when they try to pee but nothing happens except some blood spots. Please know that boots is in my prayers that everything will work out and he will be soon back to his good old self!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Oh poor Boots, I'm so sorry that you're having so much trouble with your plumbing. All fingers and paws are crossed here. I sure hope that this surgery works. I'll say a prayer for you tonight.

[Logan]

Just an hour or so before you are in your sir jury, Boots. We will sure be thinking about you this morning, and praying for Doc Lisa to work some magic on your plumbing. We'll also say prayers for you, your dad, Cinder and Smoke. Gotta keep that family together!! Please get well, Boots.

Love,
Logan, Butter and Mimi

[Rachel]

Hi Boots. You just gots to get better. Cinder and Smoke Mutt are in a state and your Dad is so sad, he can't bear to see you hurting. You have been in my prayers for days now. Yesterday when we got the call from MS ZIPPY we hunkered down for some please, please, please to The Big Fella. I hope you don't mind but we asked for some help for Liz's Buddy too. One thing is your Dad is just going to do everything possible for you. He loves you so much and I don't blame him. You are one lovable Kats. That was some encouraging information from Miss Dixie about how her Marty made it through such a rough time. It helped me to
think positively . Don't give up Boots. We are praying especially hard this morning while you are at the Doc's, okay?

[tatsxxx11]

This is the best news that I have read all day.

Cinder and Smoke, thanks for the update. Could you go over and give your ol Pa a big kissy slurp from all of us for being such a good Dad?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh, I'm sooo glad things went well for the Boots man today. He sure has had a tough time of it. But sounds like that will all be behind him now, which I'm sure he'll be glad to hear. Although it sounds like he has to put up with 10 days worth of that durn kone kollar thingy which we all know he hates. Poor Boots, we'll keep our fingers, tails and paws crossed that everything continues to go well and Doc Lisa lets you out of your cell tomorrow. Everything is always better when you're at home with yer dad and Cinder & Smoke to keep you company.

And we'll also be thinkin' about poor Fister. Hope his plumbin' is workin' by now. We don't need another one of our friends to have to go through this. :(

[NoahsMommy]

YEAAAA!!!!I am so glad the sir jury went well!!! In no time Boots will be back to normal again!!!


Fister honey, you get better and don't worry about those thunder storms...my grandma used to say God was bowling on the clouds. See? Nothing to fear. :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Such good news!!! I've been holding my breath all day only taking one now and then to keep from fainting. Way to go Boots Baby!!! Prayers will continue until you are all well and all your parts new and used are working again. Rest up sweetie. Cinder and Smokey, big hugs to you and a thank you for keeping us updated. :D

[Sudilar]

WOOHOO! GREAT NEWS!

[zippy-kat]

YAY YAY YAY for Bootz "Evil Eye" kat!

Sophie (who is still in jail) sends her congrats and well wishes as well.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

YIPEE FOR BOOTS....

[lynnestankard]

BIG HUGS ALL ROUND - {{{{{}}}}}

LYNNE

[Rachel]

Booter Kitty, you are going to feel a whole lot better. Still saying extra prayers for you to speed up the recover. Tell Dad it is okay for him to exhale!

[tatsxxx11]

Hey there Cinder, Mr. B and the furcrew here. We just wanna say thank you to the BIG GUY for pulling the Boots Man through. Well, that's all I can say right now. Gotta go lick the eye drippies from my Mommy's eyes. You do what Auntie Rachel says and go give your Dad a big slurpy kiss for being such a TERRIFIC Dad! And thanks to Doc Lisa too. Love yer, Furpals, Mr. B., Oliver, Star***Shine, Cody and the PigPen. Sleep well, Boots! Tomorrow yer comin home!!:)

[Dixieland Dancer]

Great News!!! We have Marty on Hills prescription UT formula. I think there is a new one out by purina especially for UT control but I don't know if it's low calorie. Perhaps just cut back on how much you give him? Does Doc Lisa have any suggestions?

[Cynthia]

Yo, Boots!
We haven't been participating for a while, but we had to jump back on the board when we found out one of our fellow tux-buddies was having some bad days! We're really bummed that you had to go through all those rough times (Stump here; I had the same problem back when I was much younger) and we're so glad you're feeling better!! Take care and say hi to Cinder and Smoke for us!
Love, Stump and Emmett

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that surgery went well for you Boots. I hope all continues to go well so you can go home soon. All fingers and paws are crossed here for a speedy recovery.

[Logan]

Well, Hallelujah!!!! What wonderful news. I hope you get good news again this morning and the little fellow can go home where he belongs. Hugs and kisses to all of you!! :)

Wohoo! We're so relieved that the surgery went well! You'll soon be running the household again! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!! ;)

Btw, Royal Canin has got a Uninary Programme called LP30 crunchies, it's also low in fat (15%) if you need to slim down a bit! ;) However, Fister still prefers Hills diet S/D.

Yes, it does sound like bowling on the clouds! :D

Thanks for your concern Noah's mummy and Tubby & Peanuts mum! :) I'm glad to tell you that Fister made a nice puddle in his sandbox just before bedtime and an even bigger one today, so we're all relieved and happy! :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

Back & forth to the Vet's Place, pipe's in - pipe's out - STILL kant pee rite. Pillz, pillz an more pillz! Got wurried yesterday - wound up at anudder place that stunk like a hoppsbittel. Nice gurl in green skrubbiez started pawin all ober me - thermy stick uppa butt, lissnin ta my insides, pokin my tummie... Then Dad lays a bunch kissiez an LEAVES me. Inna cell kage fur a while; then out an onna kold table. Then laffin gas an I dont member nuffin...

Woked up (sorda) inna cell agin wiffa blankie...
Bucha udder kritters asside me an unner me. Lotta gurlz in skrubbiez fussin ober allua us. Summa us gotz wadder, sum gots mushie food - *I* dint! Doc Lisa visited an checks her handywerk - then sez "Sleepie tight, Boots", shutz offa lites, and they all goez home! Glad I wuz doppy - buncha the udder guys inna cells *snored* all nite!

This mornin Doc Lisa pops in atta crack-a-dawn an drags me out - back onna table. Played around wiff my butt summore an took out anudder pipe thingy. Back inna cell - she said I'd get sum grub whenna Nursey Gurls got in, then it wuz "Bye, see ya inna week" an off she goez. Jest gotz back asleep whenna lites go on anna gurlz start servin breakfast. Not my flavour - lemmie alone!

Dad finally showz up - recconized hiz talkin :). Nursey dragz me out an turnz me uppy-side-down anna Guy Doc splains whut they dun. Removed my WHUT? Nunbuddie azk'd ME bout that! Oh well, iffin I kan pee; who cares? Lotta furr missin back there.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Owwwie, Boots!!! So glad you are out of the hospital. Don't worry, the hair on your bum will grow back. I hope you continue to improve every second now. With your 3 nurses, how could you not? Just rest and let them take care of you. Prayers still with you until you are 100% well. Thanks for finding the energy to let us know how you are.:)

[lizbud]

Hi Boots,

Glad you're back from the hospital and so happy for you
to finally get your "plumbing" fixed . It's no fun when all
your "parts" don't work right. Will have to pray extra hard
that you are going to 100% from now on.

[tatsxxx11]

Hey there Boots!! We're all doing a BIG HAPPY DANCE that yer outta jail an back onna job!! Yippppe!! Now, keeps that water flowin and them pipes clear!! Love, yer furpals, Cody, Star***Shine, Olive-Pit, Mr. B and the Pigpen!!

[Randi]

Fister here .... Forward Bootz! - Happy days are back! :) - it's all done now and you'll be feeling better and better for every minute!! We're so happy for you - and your dad can get some time to relax and spoil you now! :D Like MOFF says: Don't worry about your fur, it will definately grow back - lucky it wasn't in the middle of winter! :eek: You have been SO brave, and you'll soon get used to the new short pipe Bootz! You deserve a medal for what you've been through!

I think they've decided to call my replumbing off for now, PHEW! I think it helped some, that I got half a painkiller, because a few hours later I made a nice puddle in my sandbox and have been racing around, so they've got the point - it's NOT neccesary! :)

Bootz, we'll keep our fingers and paws crossed for a speedy recovery! When you can, go and purr a nice goodnight song for yer dad, he can surely do with some rest now! ;)

.... and thanks a lot for keeping us updated!

[zippy-kat]

Mizzer Bootz,

I'z still in jailz but I'm gladz you aintz!! Make surez to get all the 'tention and treatz and luvin' youz kinz. You deservez itz after whut youz been throughz. Glad you iz onna way to recubbery.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Boots, I'm so happy to hear you're back home and feelin' better. Even though those nice girlz take good care of you, it can't match the care that Dad, Cinder & Smoke can give. Your fur will grow back in no time, and you'll be makin' puddles like you're s'posed to and you'll forget all about the hospital and Doc Lisa. Keep up all the good work and give your dad and the doggiez an extra head butt to let them know that you 'preciate everything they done for you.

Welcome Home!

Hi Ebberbuddie ~ Boots finally checkin in...

Dad's been helpin Miz Liz wiffa Buddy photo and fussin over me...
Sorrie to keep ya'all hangin.

Sunday wuz a bit of a challenge - *I* refuzed to
eat or drink - Nuffin!

Dad gotz out the lil syringe sqwirt gun an started shootin wadder inta my mouff :mad:. Summtimez I'd do a lil pee; udder times jest lay down an *pout*.

This mornin (6 AM) I ate a few pieces a krunch, then Dad *shootz* summore wadder. He went backa bed.

Bout 8 a-klok he kumz in an I dun a poop, a few lil pees, AND truned the sandy box wiffa papurz innit *kompleetly* uppy-side-down!
ANNNND opened up the tubby slider door an wuz prowlin round the baffroom... :D

I came ober for head bumpiez, rubbin and a lotta PUrrrrrin whilst he wuz powderin his nose an stuff.

Still hadda *red* butt an he dint like that. Gotz tossed inna kar wiffa MuttKidz an brung to the Shop. I think'd we wuz gettin purdy close to heading fur wunna the White Coat Labs... So's I jumped inna papur sandy box he brung along an did a purdy good lil pee.

All day long he'z been *sqwirtin* wadder down me!
I dun a kupla lil pee'z - he'z wunderin how'z kum he putz more IN than *I* pump out... :confused:

He keepz *pookin* me ribbz an tummy - I nebber cry or nuffin. An I dont stand inna box an *strain* no more; jest give a quickie sqwat an if nuffin happenz, I jump rite out. He thinkz that's a gud sine.
Still leavin a lil red *blop* when I do manage a pee.

Lil while ago he drug out the kotten ballz an purOxide an did a mager kleen-up onna bum :eek:.
Sez there'z a lil red stuff *seepin* round the zipper. He duzint seem *Too* wurried bout that - guess it'z too late ;) to go see a White Coat now! :D

I triez to stay *alert* enuff that he duzint get overlee wurried. Prolly better do a kupla pee'z whilst he'z watchin - or I'z gonna wind up atta White Coat Lab tumorrow :(.
I kan do wiffout anudder trip back there. :rolleyes:

Mee-owww at'cha all Laterz...

/s/ Boots, the DripKat :D

[Freckles]

Whew, Boots, happy to get a pretty good report. Doesn't seem to bother you too much to use the new plumbing.

PS; Tell your Dad he did great with that picture of Buddy. Don't think I've seen it before.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Boots boy, it's sure good to hear from you. I was about to call out a posse to check on you. So glad you are doin' so much better. Keep up the peein', it makes your Dad so happy!!! Best wishes from my four cat kids, Chester, Leonardo, Luke, and Leroy. (and me too):D

[Rachel]

I guess no one promised us this was going to be easy, but it looks like you are giving it all you got for your Dad, Booter. Sometimes it takes awhile to recover from going under the knife. You rest up now and drink your water and eat your krunchies best you can. Thanks for taking paw to the 'puter, as it sure is good to hear from you.

[lynnestankard]

wow bootz we'ze very imprssed - you'ze already up 'n about - gud on yer furkid. don't make you'ze dad worryz about youze - keep peein' boy! tell youze bootz all dees hoomans is doin' nuffin but talk 'bout bootz. duz that make you a star - ouz mummy dez it does.

'Mornin' Boots :)

By your above statement I take it you're feelin' a little better this mornin'. :)

I came ober for head bumpiez, rubbin and a lotta PUrrrrrin whilst he wuz powderin his nose an stuff.
I'm sure this made your dad real happy. See, purrin' and head bumpin' is another real good sign that you're feelin' better. Now if you would drink the water on your own, he could stop squirtin' it in you. You just gotta keep drinkin' so youz can keep makin' them little damp spots in the sand which we know is very important.

Get some much needed rest, but keep drinkin' and peein' and don't forget to nibble on those krunchies now and then too. You're doing such a good job and we're all so proud of you for pullin' through like this. Tubby sends head bumpies and Peanut sends chin scritchies to help you get better. :)

[zippy-kat]

Good day Bootzer!

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Jist keep puttin' one paw in front of the other and you'll be feline-fine in no time!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Boots the DrippyKat, here...

And not doin so hot rite now :(.
I wuz out an about inna baffroom when Dad come'd in this mornin - that tubby slider door is gettin a lil easier to manage. Onlee problem wuz there wuz no big spotz onna papurs... few lil spotz a pink - but no gud pee'z. Dad offur'd me sum krunch (I hadn't hardly touched the stuff obernite) an I ate a kupla piecez. I jumped inna papur box an tried - but nuffin wuz happnin. :(

I gotz tossed inna kar wiffa Dawgz an we motered ober to the Shop. I spent mosta the ride inna papur box - strainin. Managed a few poops an summore bloody spotz, but not much pee. Dad set me up inna Shop - chained to the chair inna middel a the room, papurs down anna papur box side the chair. I had the zipper leakin red stuff by then.

Started jumpin in an outta the box - assumin the position fer minnit or two atta time; jumpin out and tryin to lick my bum; an a lotta reel unhappie Grrrrrin an Yeeeooowlin. Onlee a few lil red spotz. Dad started leakin frumma eyez an called Doc Lisa...

I thunk'd this duzint look too gud, so's I jumped inna box whilst he wuz talkin to her bout "what shud we do?" an let fly wiff a purdy good lil dampy spot! He tell'd her whut I dun; an while they wuz talking summore I dun anudder lil puddel!

She axk'd jest How Much wadder I wuz takin in...
They dun sum figgerin an she sez I needs bout 3 or 4 times that much :eek:. Mebbee my pump'z runnin dry anna tank iz emptee. She sez either haul me in fur a looky-see -or- get me sum Valium to relaxe my pipes an let me quit fussin wiffa bum anna zipper. Sez bring me in tumorrow iffin I dont get better after the dopey pillz start werkin...

Dad sez OK - call WallysMart an order us sum pillz! He getz to Wally's Place anna gurlz dint do the order - they thunk sum whacko wus playin wiff em. Guy runnin the pharmacy knew Dad frum helpin him pick out pillz fur SmokeMutt - lookz atta gurl'z notes... Sez "This is OK - she's a Vet! This iz fur a KAT! Write this up!" Dad gotz my pillz. An I'z gotz a file in Wally's puter now!

We hadda lil fussin match bout jest who wuz gonna shuv what pill down who'z throat (no pill shooter atta Shop!) - an I guess he wun... :rolleyes:

Since the pill eppisode - I'z gobbeled up a hole lotta kat krunch, bout the normal amount; not tried to pee; and inhaled 3 tablespoonz (the BIG wuns!) a wadder via the durn sqwirt gun syringe. An then he made hizzelf a sammich - had a kupla slicez a CHEEZE on it. YUMMMM! :D I wandered ober an started beggin. Gotz a BIG hunka cheeze!

Think I'z startin ta get a lil b-u-z-z-i-e inna head... Did sum runnin round an playin wiffa pee papurz; started lickin a paw thru the lampy shade an wipin the outside a the shade - wunder why I kant find my earbonez???? Now I'z floppin down onna Fire pants fur a rest... Dad'z bout due ta drown me wiffa sqwirt gun inna mouff agin.

Dad sez we're gonna keep fightin this thing - as long as I'z not in ennie more pain. Keep outta my Valium, Dad ~ Thas's gud stuff... Zzzzzz...

/s/ Boots, the DrippyKat :D

[NoahsMommy]

Bootz, you poor little guy! You sure have a funny daddy...he has me laughing and tearing up at the same time!

Be a good kitty and drink all the water daddy is drowning you with, it'll be very good for your new plumbing job.

You sure are a kitty after my own heart...I LOVE cheese too!

Take care and get better sweet boy. We're still praying for you honey.

[gini]

Yup Boots, reading yur stor i makes the wadder cum outta my eyes too.

Pah Leeze, try to drink sum more wadder.

And don't stay down in the Valley Um too long!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Boots, baby you are sure having a time of it. Sounds like you need to pretend you are a fishy and drink drink drink (water that is). Fingers and tails, and paws still crossed here that you feel much better soon. You may want to go easy on the cheese. It may clog up the other hole back there. It does on my cats any way, if they eat too much. Have a good night sweetie and I'll be watching for an update tomorrow.

[Cinder & Smoke]

:eek: :D
Cinnerz here ~

Kat'z inna drug-induced La-La Land :rolleyes:.
Hope he dont :eek: drown next time Dad wadderz him!

"Klog up da udder hole!" OMG! Jest whut he duzint need!

But I tink Dad thunk of that - Bootsy dint getz all that much cheeze - jest lookz like a big hunk to him.

We'z wunderin ~ Iz Kottage Cheeze ennie gud fur gettin liquidz in wiffout any bad effektz? He'z nebber had any - dunno if he'd eat it. We kud pick up a lil bucket onna way home if it'd help.

?? :confused: ??

PuLeeze keep Prayerz flowin ~
We needz allua Help we kan get fur the KatKid.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Gosh, I don't know about cottage cheese. But do you have any people tuna packed in water? My cats love the water from it. Maybe you could drain the tuna and add a few spoonfuls of real water to it and see if he will lap it up. It has some salt in it so it might make him thirsty also. Anything is worth a try. 'course like Freckles said if he stil is a cone head he may be having trouble drinking. Prayers still continuing here.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Great idea, MOFF!

Dad likez Mac'n'cheeze - an Smoke an I like lickin the bowl ;). Dad throwz a can a tunna in wiff the macs - so we'll save the tuna juice an try that in Bootsy's wadder. He LUVz tuna juice! Guess it'z Mac'n'cheeze tanite! :cool:

Dad looked onna Net - lotsa sites talk about lettin katz have Kottage Cheeze - so we'll grab a lil bukit onna way home. If KatKid duzint like it - I'z sure us Dawggiez will.

Thanks fur the gud ideas! :D

[zippy-kat]

Mac an Cheese and Tuna?! EWww... >picky eater< but if it keeps the furkid happy.....!!!!!

What about the beef/chicken boullion cubes?

*tryin' to think of some other things the katkid might drink*

what about yougurt...it's liquidy....

[TheAntiPam]

Poor Boots! Sorry to be so late in posting - Your Dad sure does care for your silly self! I'm so glad he lets you post your story, even if sometimes you need help from those dawgs! I hope you perk up very soon, and the straining and pink spots go away quick!

Tuna water is VERY good for getting meds into cats - the strong smell overcomes most anything. When my Murf was sick with kidney infection (not the UTI thing, something else) the only thing that saved him was lapping up the antibiotic liquid in the tuna juice. You might even add some plain water (a few tablespoons perhaps) to the tuna water to help "prime the pump".

Best wishes to Boots, Phred and of course those sweeties Cinder and Smoke!

[lizbud]

Dear Boots,

I know you're trying your best to get better, takin your
pills & gettin the water squirted down your throat & all.
Just wanted you to know that there are 14 extree paws
crossed here in Indy just for you tonight. May each day
see you more & more improved and on your way to takin
charge . (Somebodies gotta watch those doggies, right) ?
We're rootin for you Pal & pray you get better every day.

Your Kitty friends, Redbud,Mikey,Pumkin,Blackie,Momma
kitty, Baby kitty and Sugar. :)

[Randi]

Bootz, we hope you're feeling lots better today and have started drinking some more - on your own! ;) You must get the pills down that throat, Bootz! One way or the other - they'll do you good! If you're allowed to eat anything you want, that is, of course if your new fancy system don't plug up, - this is the time to go and convince your dad to get you some tasty Greenlandic shrimps. When he defrost them, make sure to tell him to let the juice run into a bowl, and a couple of hours later, you'll have a delicious drink there and your dad a tasty sandwich! :D

Lots of headbumpies (unless you have the cone on) and earscritchies from us. :)

Will keep all paws and fingers crossed here!

Fister & his mum

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh poor Boots, you really are having a tough time with this, and really making it hard on your dad and the doggiez. We're still talkin' to the big guy for you, and drink everything your dad tries to drown you with to get that new pipe good and primed so it works real good from now on.

We're all still pulling for you Boots, we know you can do this!

[gini]

Gosh, Boots, I'm glad to hear you are doing better. Glad the tuna juice helps. I just asked the Big Guy Upstairs what he would suggest and that popped into my head. Your Dad will need to get you a supply of tuna now until you are all better. I admit, I was getting concered because we hadn't heard from you or your Dad or one of the siblings today. Have a good night's rest little one. You deserve it. Fingers and paws and tails still crossed here.

[tatsxxx11]

What great news!! Yiippppppppppee!! Phew, Phred, me and MOFF was really gettin worried there! Connie, you really came through with the tuna water idea!!:D You get a good night's sleep now Boots! I know a lot of PT'ers a gonna sleep better knowin you're doin SO much better! {{{Hugs}}} Sandra, Mr. B., Oliver, Cody, Star and the Piggers!

[zippy-kat]

Yippeee for pee!

Congrats dear Boots!
Now continue to get better from here on out--no more little set-backs that scare us half to death, ok? ;)

[gini]

Once again! This has made yet another day for me with the very best news possible.

Tuna Breath - and Peein good - what a combination!

Boots, keep up the good work and that cone thingy will be off in no time.

Love, Gini and Rascal

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad that you're finally on the road to recovery Boots. I'm also glad that the tuna water helped. My cats like this too. All fingers and paws are crossed here for a speedy recovery. :)

[NoahsMommy]

YIPPEE Boots!! I am so happy for you!! So glad that tuna water worked (what a GREAT idea!!)...now, you keep on getting better sweetie!!!

[sasvermont]

SUCH GREAT NEWS BOOTS. I HOPE YOU CONTINUE WITH YOUR RECOVERY! I JUST LOVE READING YOUR POSTS!

YEA BOOTS!:cool: :cool: :cool: :D :D :D

[lbaker]

Hey Tuna Breath!! Good morning and I hope this day finds you feeling better. Hope you and yours had a good rest and hope you have a gentle day. We all love you and worry. Stay strong of heart & give your dad a kiss from all PetPals. Laurie

[Edwina's Secretary]

Phred...Since the thought of you having to eat tuna every night is distressing (actually thg thought of EVER having to eat tuna distresses me) can't you buy clam juice? It may be high in salt or Boots might not like it as well as tuna juice but it a possible alternative to opening all those cans of tuna (shudder!)

With thoughts for a speedy recovery....

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh Boots, I'm sooooo happy to hear you're feelin' better. Keep drinkin' and peein' to make your dad happy. And keep up with the head bumpies, I know he appreciates those. Don't go getting spoiled though with all that tuna and cottage cheese. :)

I can just see it now. Boots is in the bafroom and squats right over the drain in the tubby so there's no evidence of pee onna papers. Then when dad comes in, he squats and pretends to strain. Dad gets worried and gets out the tuna water. Boots drags himself over to it and starts lapping. Dad sees all is going well with the tuna water so he turns away, and Boots gets a wicked little grin on his face that he has tricked dad again into the tuna water. However, he does wonder how long he can pull this off before dad demands another trip to the white coats to find out why the Boots man is drinking all this tuna water and not peein' at all. ;) :D

Keep up the good work Boots. Can't wait for your next installment. :)

[Randi]

Bootz, this is GREAT news! :D We're so happy for you - and your dad! ;) Hearing about your tuna party, makes Fister SO envious, he can only have dry food, but then, he'd rather do without the replumbing job! You continue getting better, Bootz and get the cone off soon! ;)

Lots of nosekisses and earscritchies to you! Go and give your dad a good old headbump when you get that thingy off! :)

Fister & his mum

[Cinder & Smoke]

Hi Ebberbuddie ~ Boots, da Kat checkin in ~

*Gaaak* Whut wuz that? OK; dopey pill is gud.
Ohhh, no! **Gulllp** **Glurrgg** <shakes hed>
Six sqwirtz a wadder later...

WISH he'd take a simple "No fanks" an QUIT wiffa sqwirt gun! Now I'll prolly havta go *pee*...

Last nite went purdy gud. Gotza left-over tuna juice koktail at bed time - slurped down enuff I dint get the sqwirt gun. Dad gave up on keepin me inna tubby cell - dint eben try to slam the slider door shut. Fresh papurs inna tubby an not much onna vanity - he figgers fur a *quiet nite*. Ha!

I waited till reel dark:thirty an pulled ober the ground-up papur plastik basket. WHADDA *BANG* that made! :p Wuz gonna do a pee in there - but the durn Kone wudint fit. NUTZ! Two Dawgz anna Dad dash in ta see whut I busted! I wuz back inna tubby (hidin) affore they got the baffroom door open. They all stumbled back to the BigBed...

Made sum damp papurz durrin the nite - AND a poop pile which Dad kudint "find" till we wuz loadin up inna kar. Lotta *sqwakin* when he stuck a finner in it! (I hided it purdy gud.) Gave a few hed bumpiez an gotz told I had a bad case a "tuna breath"... Kone thingy seemz to help deliverin that message.

I dun a kupla pee'z onna way to the shop :D. Atta Post Office stop; I felt a seer-eeus need for a #2. All dun when he klimbed back inna kar...

*PHEEWW!* "Who :eek: *buzzed*?" An he's givin durty lookz atta Muttz inna back seat! (Pot callin the kettel black...) He figgered out where the *stinky* wuz commin frum when he unloaded my soggy papur skratch box an found #2!

Gotz six sqwirtz frumma syringe gun to celebrate our arrival atta Shop. :mad: Took me anudder two BIG pee'z ta unload allua that. Then I started werkin on brekfust...

Gave up ploppin the Kone ober the bowl an pushin my hed strait down - get a *krink* inna neck an the air turnz bad inside the kone.
New methud: Use the Kone like a big shovel.
Jam er rite inta the pile a krunchiez an give a lil *flip* up... Spreds out the krunch onna floor an makez pickin out the *gud wunz* a lot eazier! The Muttz kum along after an kleen up da rejektz.

Nudder thing the Kone is gud fur ~
Makin Hoominz laff an point when we drive by inna trakter kar!

Peepul must tink it'z phunnie - Kat inna lampy shade wiffa hed mash'd agin the winnow anna earz wigglin... :cool:

Hey Edwina ~ I'z wunderin ~

Otta jump inna papurs an *do* sumpin... But I tink I'z gonna hold off an give Dad sumpin to *fret* about. :rolleyes:

Mee-oww atcha all Laterz...

/s/ Boots, da When-Will-He-Pee-Agin Kat :D

[NoahsMommy]

Did you ever get excited when something peed or pooped??? Well, I haven't until NOW!!!! YAY Boots!!!! Keep on getting better! I'm so proud of you!!!

Phred, I wonder if you could freeze the tuna and just give Boots the tuna juice. Then you wouldn't have to worry about eating it so much? Just a thought!

Thanks for the update! I look forward to it everyday! :)

[Freckles]

It's not as pungent as tuna juice, which is probably why Boots likes it, but he might consider water laced with it. At least give you a little break from tuna breath.
And forget Zippy's suggestion of bullion cubes.

[gini]

Peein, Poopin and Tuna Breath...........sounds like that could be a great name for a play or movie!!! Maybe an Austin Powers! Naah, let's just get three furkids......like Cinder, Smoke and Boots to make that movie!!

Boots, you are doin real good and it makes all of us so happy.
We have been pretty worried about you.

Chicken Broth? Well the canned stuff has a lot of salt - and I don't think that's too good for Boots. But maybe if Dad was up to boiling a couple of pieces - he could get some good tasting stuff on his own.

Boots, thanks for checking in - the uppy dates cheer us all up.

Now look, you need to give yur Dad a rest.........he needs some sleep too.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Where are the people who make designer water when you need them? We need a tuna flavor and a chicken flavor and maybe, a shrimp flavor for our Boots. That's a good idea about boiling a piece or two of chicken and making a broth without salt. If Boots likes chicken. My gang do. So glad you are feeling so much better fella. Keep up the good work. Fingers, paws and tails will remain crossed until you are all okey dokey again.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

You know, I think they make something like this. I seem to remember seeing it at Petsmart or Petco. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it, but dad, you might want to check it out. I think I'm like you, Tuna now and then is ok, but every other night would get *real* old. :)

Boots, so glad to hear you're doing good. We were all so worried about you for awhile. But sounds like dad and the dogz have taken real good care of you and you'll be heeled up and using that new plumbin' like a pro in no time.

And it's amazing how the little things in life (like poopn' and peein') can make a bunch of people so happy. :rolleyes:

Keep up the good work Boots! Or do we call you Tuna Breath now. ;) :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

Way to go Boots. :) I'm so glad to hear that your pooping and peeing again. Keep up the good work. :D

[lynnestankard]

WOW - MR BOOTZ IS PEEIN' AN' A POOPIN' !!! HURRAAAYYYYYYYYY!

HEAD BUMPIES & SCRITCHIES TO OUR FAVOURITE GUY!

I couldn't have said it better. We are absolutely thrilled at every drop and plop. Heehee Tucker and Hannah say to get all the way better now. We love you Boots.

[Rachel]

Just checking back in this morning to say I hope you have a good weekend Boots and that you keep getting better each day. Dad's had an awfully long haul of worrying about his kitty, so you and the doggers keep an eye on him to watch for signs of wear and tear. He's such a good Daddy.

[Randi]

How are you doing dear Bootz? Hope you're eating, drinking and peeing lots! :) Can you have anything you like now? I bet your dad is checking out all the delicious stuff for you! ;)

Have a nice weekend - Cinder, Smoke and your dad too! :)

Please, report back when you're up to it!

[lbaker]

:eek: DROP AND PLOP?? Oh Rachel...LOL LOL Have a gentle day Boots and family....especially you Phred:) Laurie

[gini]

I was thinking about Mr. Boots this morning and I hope that he will be up to "pawin in" with us a little later on the puter. You have lots of loving fans Boots, and we hope this Sunday finds you in great health!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

So glad to hear Boots is doing so well!!! I hope he gets that cone off soon before he does major property damage. Smokey, thank you for taking the time to paw us a message and keeping us updated. :D

[tatsxxx11]

Thanks for the update Smokey!! What great news Bootz Man! Keep up the good work. We're keeping our paws crossed that you lose that Konz thingy reeeeel soon! Say hi to G-Mom for us all!!:D Happy Trails to Dad and the Furkids!!!:)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that you're doing much better Boots. :) Now if you can only get the cone taken off your head. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted.

[Rachel]

I probably should address this to our girl, Cinders, since she is home Kat sitting with Boots while Smokey The Dog and Dad are off to see the G-Mom. Cinders you really started something way back when you used to get on the computer. Now all the furkids are getting quite puter literate:D . I'm so happy your little Booter Buddy is feeling good enough to do all that cone manuevering. Sounds as if he wants to be involved in all his normal activities. I too hope he gets the cone off soon so he can do his appointed rounds. Poor Booter has had a hard time of it lately. Here's wishing the whole fam damily has some good luck for a change.

[Randi]

Bootz! You're headin' in the right direction now - just need to get that thingy off your sweet little head, so you can give your dad a big headbumpie!! :D Hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell of the kliner chair! :eek:

Thanks for pawing us an update, Smokey! We're so happy that the worst is over!! :) You're bound to have some good luck from now on - all of you!! :D

[lynnestankard]

[sasvermont]

Boots, you are doing such a good job of getting better! And that cone thing, well here's a pic of Miley, a friend in the same cone headed situation. She has a skin problem and not a plumbing problem. Her cone allows her to go just about anywhere. Maybe she just has a higher level of spacial abilities!

Great news Boots. I hope you are all better soon. I love reading your stories each day!

Love,

From Gabe, Miley and Graemer

:D :D

Thanks for the uppeydate Smokey. Sounds to me like Boots is trying to get caught up on everything that he's missed since he's been locked in that darn baffroom. :D And it sounds like he's doin' real good so hopefully that dern kone thingy will come off real soon.

And tell Boots we're sorry for laughin' at all his trouble with that kone, but we know he wasn't hurt at all in his falls and misses, and the mental image of him landing on his poor little head then doing that backwards summersault was just too much. :D :D Good thing your dad wasn't takn' a nap at the time or he would've wondered what all the todo was about. ;) :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Boots, boy. I'm just wonderin' how ya donin'? Still drinking tuna water? Still a cone head? Hope you didn't get a headache from your adventures the other day. Plumbing still working? Hope you are feeling lots better now.:)

[Cinder & Smoke]

Hi Ebberbuddie ~ Cinnerz & SmudgePot here ~

Checkin in fur Boots, the Kat...

He'z doin purdy OK rite now - mostly peein inna sandy box (Dad gibed it back to him Friday nite kuz he dint like doin #2 onna papurz). He'z still gotz papurs inna old skratch box inna tubby, too - kase he feels like a papur job :rolleyes:.

All us FurKidz is a lil :mad: ~ Seemz Dad's Fire beeper went Beep, beep, BEEP!! Munday mornin an he jumped outta bed an dashed off to a BIG fire in Towne... Nunbuddie gotz an *outie*, Kat dint get no Mornin Medz, WE dint get no brunch... Day kinda sukk'd.

Dad kum'd home bout 4 a-klok ta feed an wadder us - then went rite back to da fire... Gone agin till :eek: mid-nite. Stunk like fire when he finally gotz home. Kicked Kat outta the fallin wadder klozet an played inna kleen wadder a long tyme - still wuz a lil *stinkey* when he got dun.

Tuday wuz more a the same - up urlie ta meet da Fire Guy frumma "State" an do sum Vestigatin. We jest took a load a fire pix to Wally's Place an are waitin fur the quickie photoz ta getz dun.

Tumorrow gonna be s-l-o-w, too - Dad anna State Guy gotta do sum Innerviewz inna afternoon. Check in then - IF - we get outta the Ranch at all...

Boots tell'd us ~ frum unner the baffroom door ~
that he missez :( the dailey ridez to da Shop wiff us...

Walley jest called - pix are dun - gotta run...

[Freckles]

Figured your Dad has to work once in a while, or the kar went on the fritz again.
Anyway, Phred, how about an update on Bootz? Sounds like maybe the kone might be gone soon? Does Bootz still need spiked water? Which flavor?

Hope your fire season is more controlable than that in Oregon now.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey guys :)

Thanks for the uppeydate. Sounds like Boots is doing ok if he is getting particular about which box he uses. ;) :D I'm just glad Boots is to the point he's at now 'cause had your dad been busy with the fire a few weeks ago the Boots Man might have had a different tale to tell. I'm sure your dad will be back on his regular schedule once all the fire stuff dies down a bit, be sure and give him some....(whatever you doggiez call it when you stick your noses into hands looking for pets, in kittyland head bumpies are a close equivalent). Hopefully he'll be back soon and Boots will get his kone off and be paroled from the baffroom again. :)

[KittenCloudSprinkles]

Boots sorry it took so long for your Daddy to notice something was wrong. Hope you are feeling MUCH better :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just wonderin' how Boots is doin'? Still a cone-head? Still drinkin' tuna water? Still peein? and poopin'? Still in the bathroom? Has his zipper healed up? Don't you wish I would stop with the questions?:D :D

SmudgePot jumpz up an runz ober to Dad -
Hey Dad! Kat'z lookin out the DOOR! Better grab em!

Dad'z makin a lotta raket wiffa noze an dont hear the lil TattelTail.

Kinda *SPOOKIE* an *dark* out there! Made it offa porch an thru the weed gardun out to the weedz they kall grass... Nunbuddie knowez how long I wuz out there when Dad woked up bout sun-up. Dawgz are sleepin on hiz feetz hangin down offa kliner chair.

Dad axkz "Where'za KAT?" Slam'za frunt door an duz a howze search = NO Kat! OMG! Panik!

He ripz open frunt door an hollerz "Hay KoneHed - ya out here?"

I gibz him a reel friendlie *ChiIIRRp* frumma weed gardun an turnz so the yard lite shinez onna kone... Whudda HOOT!

Dad'z wearin his not much shortiez an NUFFIN else!
Tries to cum downna steps but members :eek: he gotz nuffin onna feetz. Getz his fuzzy slipperz on an jumpz inna gardun patch - but by then I wuz strollin downna bank towardz the drive. Ebberbuddie'z out lookin - durn Dawgz gibed me away - spotted me onna driveway.

Dad hotfootz it cross the yard in hiz not much shortiez an slipperz an makez da *GRAB*.
NUTZ! :mad: Furst time onna outie an it'z ober alreddy! Back inna howze... :(

They all jump'd onna BigBed an I *pouted* onna bunkroom floor... Till Dad herd me doin sum SEER-euz skratchin inna sandy box. He getz up an checkz on me - skratchin, squattin, an GRrrrrin inna box ~ Nuffin happenin - AGIN!

I wuz runnin back-n-forth tween the sandy anna papur boxes - jest a kupla lil *dribbelz* anna lotta *GROWlin* = Uhhh-Oohhhh...

Off we all goez to the Fire Station (Dad hadda pick up sum Big Fire papurz). I'z pantin lika dawggie when he cumz out in a kupla minitz. IN we all goze fur sum wadder (he had that durn sqwirt gun syringe in hiz poket!) anna gulp a kold air inna offis - it'z got a kold air box...

NEWS FLASH!!!!

SHORTAGE OF MACARONI AND CHEESE AND TUNA IN WATER REPORTED IN OHIO. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN, BUT BEING INVESTIGATED!!

Boots, we are still pulling for you with prayers. I am really sorry to hear that you have more pillz to take - but since you turned out to be one of the Sum Katz - guess we need to keep up the meds.

One of you guys (Cinder? Smoke?) are going to have to learn how to use a video camera so we can catch Dad running around lookin for the Bootz guy.

[Logan]

Boots, we have really enjoyed your adventures, but enough is enough!!! I'm with "Dad"......you gotta get well, little guy. We're pulling for you and for Dad's wallet. It must be feelin pretty light these days, but I know you are worth every penny he is spending.

Please get well, so you can get out of jail. :)

Oh Boots, I hope that cone thingy comes off very soon, so you can get a proper drink - and you can have an adventure out in the grass too! It's meant for us to enjoy! :D It's boring to be in the baffroom so much! I only go there for a drink straight from the tap. :p But you gotta get your pee all nice and yellow - that's the right color! When your dad comes along with that water gun and the little white tablets, you open up wide a swallow all you can! It'll soon be over! He knows what's good for for you, so you stick to him!! You may get a fat tummy from some of the pills, but don't you worry, it will flatten again as soon as you finish them! ;)

We all wish you get back to your normal self very soon Boots! :)

Lots of purrs, nosekisses and headbumpies

I know there has been lots of extra prayers from your Pet Talk pals to help you get well. We will keep them up until you are 100% ok. :)

You're such a character when you're feeln' good, but you gotta stop scarin' your dad. Thank goodness the dogz gave you away when you made it outside.

Oh, and Sophie's silver nails are divine, they kinda go with her crown. ;) :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

HI, Ebberbuddie! :) I'z back atta shop wiffa Gang tuday...

Kinda *tweek'd* I dint get ta make da trip yesturday - I'z startin to like kar ridez long as it'z NOt to da White Coat'z Places.

I dun sum lil papur peez whilst I wuz home yesturday, so Dad lemmie out till BigBed tyme last nite. He locked me up kuz I dint make no damp papurs affore litez out.

Made up fur it this mornin - HuMUNgus pile a damp papurs! Gave Hed Bumpiez an a lotta door pawin when Dad kame in - so he sed I kuld ride ober to da Shop. Sellabrated wiff anudder big pee dump jest while he wuz loadin up all my gear ta go. THAT got da papur box warshed out an fresh papurz fur da trip!

Got here an Dad unloads the Dawgs an all my stuff an returnz fur me. I'z peepin out his winnow inna kar till he getz klose - then I krowchez down when he pops er open an *kaZOOooom!* - Off I goez like a Streak-a-Litnin --- fur about 2 feet. Left my durn Tail flyin out behind an he *GRABBz* it (wiffa Left handpaw, no less!)
**EEE-Yowchie!**
Left 50 footz a gud Klaw Nailz onna sidewalk affore I quit runnin. Dang it! :mad: He hadda good gripy onna Tail! Sheeze, Dad - I wuz jest tryin ta beet ya to da door! Whud a worrie-wart he iz!

Dad set up my spot - chair holdin the leashy string (so's I kant go 'splorin all ober the Shop place lookin fur the Kumpanie Rat {Smoke's lil mousie bud that hangz out here makin Dad :mad:}), boff my pee boxez, krunch bowl, an the durn wadder kup. I settel'd down to a long sessun inna krunch bowl - ate a BIG brekfust. Then I noticed! Durn chikun krunchie jumped inna wadder kup. NUTz! Aint supposed to be in there... Better get him out...

Started lappin up wadder - I'z gonna sink him onna bottum an *grab* him! Kept swimmin round an hidin unner that dang sqwirt gun Dad plopped inna kup wiffa wadder. Eben tried dippin a paw ta snag the lil floatur - Kunnit get it!! Lapp'd up an Drunk a hole *heck-uva-LOTTA* wadder affore I gib'd up wiffa lil *uRRRRpp* an lay down fur a nappy...

Feelz like I gotz a half gallun wurth a *Good Kat* wadder inna tank - But I'z gonna keep Dad gessin just WHEN?? I'z gonna du a pee job... Kan't wate too much longer - I kinda *Sloss-shez* when I movez around... :rolleyes:

Dad'z Happie Azza Klam kuz I'z not jumpin inna boxez an strainin nor lickin the plummin. He tinks mabee I'z tryin to get back onna skedule of jest two Big Peez a day. It'z a Pain Inna Butt ta havta keep klimin inna box ebery lil while ta dumpa a lil outta da tank. Mebbie I'z gonna wate till we kar-ride back to da Ranch - I likez the *challenge* of hittin the papurs standin sidewayz inna muvin kar!

Kace yer wunderin - the poopy part iz werkin OK, too. Dad tinkz it'z a lil soggie - kuz I'z up to bout a 50-50 mix a New Chikun Krunch an old stuff.
A gud stinkie *plop* getz flushed a lot quicker than a dry wun - saves me frum havin to move a lotta sand. :rolleyes:

Dad sez time ta get offa the bodily funkshunz topik!

I'z jest kinda hangin round - moved muself into Cinner'z spot onna unner-puter hide-a-way ruggy. She wanderz ober ebery now-an-agin an gibz Dad a sad-eyez look :( about loozin her place asside SmudgePot; but she spendz her tyme onna ruggy in frunta the door watchin the karz go bye. Smoke duzint seem to mind my kumpanie - but I hate it when he *S-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-z* Waaaay out an skrunchez me inna korner unner the puter.

LOL!! Boots, you are priceless. So is your dad!!! I had to read that one out loud to make sure I didn't miss anything.....there's something about reading "Boots" language that makes me smile every time!!! Keep those bodily functions going, little fellow. Sounds like you're doing great!! :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

YAY!!! BOOTS!!!
Sounds like you are feeling much better. Is your tail any longer after it being pulled like that? Ouch!!! Try not to be nawtee and scare your Dad and he won't grab your handle like that. I agree that Miz Sophie's nail polish looks very nice on her. Keep the water works flowing, Boots! :D

lynne

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

All right Boots! Tubby says a regular schedule of two good peez a day is a good thing. He has to go down to the basement for it, so twice a day saves all that climbing up and down the stairs - 'specially when he's up in the loft when he gets the urge, then it's a real long trip down the stairs. ;) :D

It's great that you're feelin' better, and enjoying the trips to the shop, but you gotta stop scarin' your dad! He's been so worried about you so keep up with the head bumpiez, but stop with the scarin' - kay? ;) Hope your tail isn't too sore.

And who needs apples when reading a Boots, Cinder or Smoke post a day is enough to keep the doctor away. :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

WAY TO GO BOOTS!! So glad your plumbing is working fine. Those railroad tracks will shake it out of you all right. At least the ones in Kansas would. They also will shake out your liver, spleen and anything else shakable. You got to watch them all the time. Thank you for taking the time to paw us an update. :D

[Miss Meow]

Yay for Boots! Keep pee-ing!

[zippy-kat]

"HEY DAD!"
"What Boots?"
"I wanna go on a car ride!"
"Not today."
"Yes today."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"If you don't take me on a car ride--I ain't gonna pee!"
"I'll get the keys...."

Is that kitty spoiled or what? ;)

[lizbud]

Hey Bootsey,

Glad you doing better sweetheart. I think your dad
otta let you paw out messages all the time now. When
you're back 100%, why don't you just keep on letting us
in on the goings on at the ranch, from a Kitty perspective ?
Hang in there Boots boy and keep on getting better and
better.:)

Yay, Boots! Sounds like you're doing real good now. I can see how you'd like it at da shop better than home all alone, 'specially when you were in jail all day while they were gone.

Keep up the reports, they're fun to read and let us know that you're still drinkin' & peein' like you should. :)

Could be, Lynne, but she better beware if Ritzy ever sees these pictures! We might just have a cat fight on our hands. (ha, ha, ok, bad joke) ;) :D

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Boots, what a great update!!! And at the risk of sounding rude, very entertaining!!:D:D:D Your literary style rivals Cinder's! Make sure you get equal paw time on the puter from now on!!:) SOOOOOOO glad to hear you're doing so great. Of course, your tail might be ouchin just a BIT!:eek:!! Headbumpies to you sweetie from Mr. B, Oliver and Sandra

[Rachel]

Boots I don't know a whole lot about plumbing but it sounds like yours is starting to work real well. We are so happy for you and your whole family. I think that this going to the shop routine is maybe what you needed all along. A few bumpies on the way to jar stuff loose is all that it takes. Right?

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. You sure are one handsome guy. Thanks for posting the pics koxka. :) Keep up the good work Boots. :)

[Randi]

The news has reached all the way to Scandinavia - and what good news, Boots! :D We're SO happy to hear your new plumbing works well, I bet you're feeling a lot better without your cone on, and not having to spend so much time in the baffroom! :)

You're such a handsome boy, sitting there in the sink! ;) Your dad must be very relieved and proud you got to this stage! He was very worried you know - and so were we!

Keep peeing in your sandbox and remember to drink lots of water! Hope you'll be pawing us updates whenever you get near the puter!

Headbumpies and nosescritchies from us
Fister & his mum :)

[Sudilar]

Glad to hear you are so much better, Boots. Killi and Shi send their best wishes (and Sue, too). You are one handsome dude, Shiloh says. :D

[sasvermont]

Hi Boots - Hope you are continuing to improve health wise! Are you at the ranch?

Keep us posted, cause we all worry about you and your plumbing issues!

Boots, I'm am so glad that you keep your dad on his toes, and help him to keep his desk clean!! I think you and Butter are kindred spirits that way!! Butter loves to "clean" my desk, and act as my paper shredder. He thinks that it saves me lots of money :rolleyes: .

You just keep on taking your medicine like a good cat. We aren't going to "switch" our prayers away from you yet. We'll just keep you right there on our list of favorites, and also pray for Sophie Bunny too. God has room for all of you, Boots.

Logan and Butter, the shredder

[gini]

Boots, did you get all of the pencils off of the desks? Those usually roll pretty good and they are fun to watch and bat around. I bet that was what you were after and the rest of those papers kinda just went with the pencils. I don't see how any of it was your fault. Offices are pretty boring. Mom used to take me out to hers in the back yard, and believe me it was borrriiinnng! (except for the pencils).

Sorry you have to keep taking those pill thingys to clear up your bladder. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

Mom says she still is going to keep you on her prayer list cause you aren't better - until you are BETTER and done with those pills.

Gotta go, Mom said lots of people need to send letters and stuff to God and she is going to help. She says she needs my help too. I don't have a clue what she is talking about.

Gotta run.....

Your friend Rascal

Awww, Boots my boy, you are supposed to be all well. Prayers will continue until you are completely 100% fit. I'm must admit I got a grin out of your side of the story. I will never be able to drink wine again without thinking of you and your adventure. Take care!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Sorry to hear the fekshun is still there, Boots. You sure do have some adventures though, and we sure do love to hear about them. :D Keep taking your pills so that durn fekshun disappears already, durn thing! Oh, and sounds like that was a real good furball. I'm happy your dad saw it afore he stepped in it - ugh.

Keep up the good work and keep getting better, although I kinda like it when you hafta go to the shop with your dad. Otherwise we don't hear from you too much. :)

[Freckles]
