Max

I had Berber carpet at one time and, you're right, it's difficult to clean and sometimes difficult as well to find pee spots. Unfortunately, the only way for me to find pee spots is as you said, crawling around on hands and knees. Wear latex gloves, though. Not only is it more sanitary but you'll notice the difference in how the carpet feels immediately when you come upon the pee spot. I'm sure you know about Urine Gone cleaner but in the slim chance that you don't, give it a whirl. When Puddy was having such a tough time in her last days, sometimes she couldn't make it to the litterbox and believe me when I say that Urine Gone got every last trace of the stain and smell out. The important thing is, though, that you keep your spirits up the best you can. We're w/you. Keep the faythe.

My morning routine is just that, routine but one thing Max loves is when I open up the bathroom door to have a shower. He's in there like a dirty shirt.

This morning I got up and went about my business. Max didn't greet me but that's normal. When I opened up the bathroom door, no Max. When I called him, no Max. It was late so I had a shower and changed for work. I called Max, no Max.

I first looked behind the bed, no Max. I then scoured all the corners of my apartment, behind things, no Max. I called and called, no Max. It was then that my heart started pumping a mile a minute. What if he passed in the night somewhere and I wasn't there to comfort him. I was scared. I kept looking, then I noticed that one of the stuffed toys on the couch was knocked down. I knelt down to pick it up and low and behold. This is what I saw.





He only looked up when I called his name.



Can you spot the kitty?



Even when I was calling his name, he didn't respond. Silly kitty.

Excuse the mess. I getting stocking stuffers ready....

Whew! What a scare he gave you. I'm glad that he was having a nice nap on the couch among all of the stuffed animals. He sure is adorable. This kind of reminds me of the movie "E.T." when the kids couldn't find E.T. and later they found him hiding out with their stuffed animals.

Please give Max some cuddles and scritches for me. You both continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that both of you have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Oh how cute! What an absolutely adorable picture!
Naughty little devil giving you a fright like that, of course, but that picture almost makes up for it. Max is just like a cuddly toy himself.

How totally adorable Max is.

((((hugs))) for you and gentle scritches for Max. This has to doubly difficult for you, given that we are smack dab in the throes of the holiday season. It's hard to feel festive and cheerful when a loved one is so sick and in pain.

I hope the meds start to to the job and that Max feels better.

That picture is worth a 1,000 words! Looks like one of my rooms with dozens of stuffed animals, pillows, and throws! The best part of the picture is that darling kitty....................

Wow, that was scary! It was always a fear of mine, too, that Pidge or Puddy or any one of my Fur Posse would go to the Bridge when I wasn't there but if that does happen, then I have to remind myself that it's the way they wanted it. They deserve to go the way they want to also. But that wasn't the case this time and, for your sake, I'm glad it didn't happen that way.

The pix are just adorable. Max looks so much like a little toy kitty that my parents gave me when I was just three years old. I carried that kitty around w/me until it was an absolute mess, only to be replaced by the real thing. You have the most precious kitty of all, Slick, your beautiful Max. The Fur Posse and I are wishing you the merriest of Christmases together. Gentle pets to Max and lots of (((HUGS))) to you, my friend.

Max, you silly boy!! Still got a bit of stinker in you! I hope the Cartrophen kicks in for you really soon so you can get to feeling better. Merry Christmas to you and your mom. I hope you both have a very good Day. Hugs and kisses.
