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
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.
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!
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.
:eek: :DQuote:

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.
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.
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
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....
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!
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. :)
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

Oh yeah; we piked up a tubby of Kottage Cheeze onna way home - I gotz summa that fur breakfust (after Dad "tested" it) :rolleyes:. I lapped that up so hard offa spoon it wuz flyin all ober my kone thingy. Dad turned my kone round so's I kud lick up allua stray globz.
I wuz tired but dint wanna go beddy-bye inna tubby last nite. Soon as it wuz litez-out an I knewe they wuz all inna bigbed - I pried open the tubby klozet slider an jumped out inna baffroom. NUTZ! :mad: Hall door wuz latched. Herd Cinnerz tell Dad "Kat'z out!" Managed to jump up onna vanity an tried the sink bowl out fur a nappy - but gotta *krink* inna neck kuzza the kone onna hed.

It'z all better now - but now Dad's sayin we FurKidz gotta sit onna korner an sell pensilz and hold a kup. :confused:
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.Quote:

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!
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? ;)
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
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. :)
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!!!
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
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
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....
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. :)
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
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!
*I* rides inna frunt seat so's I duzint get *mush'd* by da klumzie Dawgz inna back seat... I'z taken to standin onna seat wiffa frunt pawz onna dash bord - an jammin the Kone onna frunt lookin glass! Peepul must tink it'z phunnie - Kat inna lampy shade wiffa hed mash'd agin the winnow anna earz wigglin... :cool:

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
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! :)
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.
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.
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.
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. :)Quote:

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
Way to go Boots. :) I'm so glad to hear that your pooping and peeing again. Keep up the good work. :D
WOW - MR BOOTZ IS PEEIN' AN' A POOPIN' !!! HURRAAAYYYYYYYYY!
HEAD BUMPIES & SCRITCHIES TO OUR FAVOURITE GUY!
LOVE FROM, BAGEL, KETCHUM, DAN AND MUM XXXXX
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.Quote:

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.
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!
