Well, Boots, it's good to hear from you - usually your canine siblings do all the yapping. Oh, be careful, hope you aren't edging towards being diabetic - it's not the funnest thing in the world.

Thanks for checking in!

Boots boy, it's good to hear from you. I have been wondering about you too!!!

I'm hoping your new grub will keep the old diabetes far far away!!!
Please keep us uppie dated when you can!!!

My 4 fur kids send lots of head bumpies to you!!! :)

Boots The Found Cat Paradise Hotel Cats Are Praying And Puurrring For You To Get All Better, And That You Can Find A Diet To Keep You Healthy!

Boots - so good to hear from you at last!

Sorry to hear about the "crystals and the horsey-like peeing"? :eek:
Wishing you speedy JAB FREE recovery ....:D

Boots, I hope that you get better soon. I sure hope that you don't have diabetes.:(

Awww, I am so happy to hear a report from you directly, dear Boots!! You are a brave cat!!!

I always love to read your "words", you have a great way of writing "English" ;) :D

Dear Boots,

Ys know....some times "sorta good" is the best you can ask for...and sure beats the alternative.

With affection...

Eddie

Thanks for checking in Boots, but I was hoping to hear you didn’t have any issues with the plumming system. Sorry to hear that. :( However, you can’t get totally blocked up, as you had the same surgery as Fister. His vet said that you can still form crystals though, so it’s prolly best to keep eating what you’re told. ;) Fister is now on a mixture of Hills C/D and W/D crunchies. It works just fine :)

I’m really sorry to hear you may have a Diabetes problem, is that the reason you’re drinking so much and peeing like a race horse? I do hope the new diet will change that - at least, you seem to like the food! :) Not that it sounds like you’re slimming.

Fister’s Glucose level was slightly up on the last check and I was worried about kidney problems, but the vet said it was probably due to the anaethesia (he was having his teeth cleaned also).

Lets hope you don’t need to go on any more suspicios car rides and have put needles into your pretty little paws!

Boots, you have to put your paw down and tell Smoke to move over a bit, it’s only fair that you get your cuddle space with dad too! -

LOL about the mouse hunt, that little fellow certainly chose the wrong house to explore!

Fister and I send lots of kisses and headbumpies and hope you'll be fine for a long time to come!
