That was a day brightening update for sure! :D
That was a day brightening update for sure! :D
I am so happy to read this wonderful news!! :D :D
Actually, Boober is acting very aloof. (I call him Boober when he's being "male". LOL) He won't sleep w/us and I don't want her to sleep downstairs because I feel the need to check on her during the night and don't want to wake everyone else up. He could stop being a brat and sleep w/us but he won't. He's such a handsome boy, though, that we forgive him. ;)Quote:

I looked everywhere, under beds, even in the third bedroom which is always closed. No Pidge. Then I turned and looked down the stairs and there she was looking up at me. That little 18 1/2 year old tortie managed to jump the baby gate! This just took a couple of years off my life. I had visions of her getting outdoors and the workers being so busy that they didn't notice. Good grief! Well, at least that tells me how well she's doing. Be still my beating heart.
Oh you must have been frantic!! I can just picture her looking up at you thinking "watcha lookin' for meowme?" The little stinker!;)
Pidgie decided to come downstairs and check out the action (yeah, real action; watching a movie) and her man Boo sat down next to her. Creamsicle is overseer. Specs is out of frame; Coco Puff and Yodie were in my office. For the most part, though, my Fur Posse came through for me again. They knew I needed comfort and they all gathered 'round. Specs has the most adorable way of sitting down next to me, then putting his "arm" around me, as if to say "It's gonna be ok, Mom". I wish I could get a pic of him doing that but I can't take it myself and he's a big chicken around other people. Anyhow, I thought you'd like to see that at least Pidgie Pie is doing aces! :)
I just now learned about the ordeal you and Pidgelet have been through. I'm glad that health has returned and that the world now looks brighter.
Somehow I missed these great updates on Miss Pidgelet!! I know you have been through the worst time with what happened with Buddy but I hope you will be able to take comfort in the amazing progress your girl Pidgie is making. It was so good to read that she is not only being a snugglebug but leaping tall buildings!! (okay, a baby gate and a work table, but that is so awesome!!!) She really has come so far in a very short time. Thank you for the update and please post more pics when you can! :) Your fur posse is such a content bunch, lounging on their microfleece blankets. Luxurious.
Mary, I'm so glad to hear that Pidge is doing so well and I hope that she continues to do so.:) It's great to have furkids to help make us feel better isn't it.:)
I'm so glad Pidgelet is continuing to do well that's just great. It's amazing how cats know when we are upset and they try to comfort us in anyway they can.
They really are special.
Dear Mary, this is all so touching. You and your cats all look after each other and care for each other so diligently and so lovingly and so well.
Yay! I'm so glad she is feeling all better now! Maybe too good if she's scaring mommy though! ;)
Non pet people don't seem to understand this, and they have no idea what they're missing. Our furry kids give love and comfort at just the right times.Quote:

How about a Pidge update? I'm going thru withdrawal!!! :eek:
Weeeeellll, she's just doing great! She's been coming downstairs quite often and hanging out w/the rest of the Fur Posse and, since I've been having work done on my house I've had to keep them all in the basement while the workers are here and she wants to be w/them rather than stay upstairs by herself all day. She's got lots of energy, her appetite is good, she's using the litterbox w/no problems whatsoever. When I administer her meds, I give her a few treats, Whisker Lickin's Tender Moments chicken flavor. Good grief, when she hears that bag rustling, she's like a kitten! She perks right up, does her little Pigeon coo and she gives me head bumpies as if to say "Hurry up, Mom. Those are my favorite!" So there ya have it. Thanx for asking, Ellie. :)
And as old Tony the Tiger would say...............GRRRREAT! :DQuote:

I sure don't want to stress her, though, w/that long drive to Dr. Lee's but I'll keep a positive thought. :)
Good update! The kind I like to read.
I'm so glad to hear that she is doing so well. By the sound of your update, you'd never even know what a big scare she gave you (us) in October! That girl is a fighter. :)
What wonderful news! Keep on keeping on, beautiful Pidgie!
EXCELLENT news! :D
This is so awesome!! Way to go Pigeon girl!! :D :D
This is wonderful news!!!:) I also hope that her vet appointment will also go well.:)
Pidge is being antisocial today. Last night I thought I'd try bringing Boo in bed w/us again. She clearly was miffed about it. She sat next to me and just stared at me as if to say "Mom, there's a boy in our bed". Boo stayed most of the night and when I got up this morning, I found him sitting next to the heat vent but, of course, nothing was coming out because it's been so warm and I have the furnace turned way down. Today I couldn't find Pidge because she was hidden so well. Seems she's becoming a diva just like Puddy. Look at the expression on her face. She's sulking! :rolleyes:
ROFL! She IS sulking. GIRLS ONLY, MOM!!!! :D
Priceless pic!
My goodness! She is clearly saying "I am NOT happy!"
Glad she's home and being herself! ;)
You go, Pidgie girl! Remember, Girls Rule, Boys Drool!!
Don't ya just love cattitude?? Gives them character I would say! :pQuote:

When I was able to let in all of my furkids again, she didn't like it very much and she would try to chase every one off of the bed especially Storm. She's finally gotten over it but it took a while. Yes, female cats sure can be diva's among other things.:)
Oh, Pidgie, I notice you're sulking on purple - the color of royalty :)
She's going in this morning for her checkup. She's been doing great, so I don't want the ride and vet visit to get her heart rate up there again. If you can spare a moment or two, say a little prayer for my Pidgie Pie this morning, ok?
I will be thinking of Pidge this morning and hope her check up goes great! :D
Praying that Pidgie has a stress free visit to the white coats. Let us know how she does.
Prayers,
Mary
Just got home and Pidge's vet visit went great. Her heart rate was 170; it was 189 last visit and Dr. Lee was thrilled w/that. She also gained a little weight, which pleased him too because he said that cats usually lose weight on the meds she takes. He heard no congestion whatsoever so he said he wouldn't even do a chest x-ray. He did say, though, that her lungs and heart could fill w/fluid at any time. He said "I don't want to be negative because she's doing so great but you have to know that it isn't always going to be this way. You remember how fast it went w/Puddy". I said "I know but let me enjoy this moment. Right now she's doing wonderfully and I'm thankful for that". He said "Well, you know how I am, Mary. Expect the best but prepare for the worst". I guess he had to tell me that but I really didn't want to hear it today. I was shocked when the bill came to $27. I looked around and said "Are you talking to me?" and they laughed and said "Yeah, that's kinda low for you, huh, Mary?" I can't even remember the last time I had a two digit vet bill, if ever.
She really carried on the entire drive there and when she started on the way home, I said "Hey, no need to fuss now. We're going home". She stopped immediately. LOL So all in all, a good visit. :)
Did you hear my heavy sigh??? These are the updates we all live for.
That's right Mary enough every moment!
I'm going to say a pray for Pidge though that she continues to do well. :)
Yippee!! I knew when I posted that you were probably already on your way home from the vet. But, Pidgie got her prayer, as did Andy, Barney and Taz! You must be elated! And only $27. Excellent!
Mary
Great news. You're quite a girl Ms Pidge!!!:love: And Mary - you're quite a Mom too!!! And you didn't even have to sing to her on the way home this time either!!! :p
