I'm expecting

[shais_mom]

He was put into a porto-prison today and taken to the whitecoats. Had his ears cleaned and his nails trimmed. Was told he is a pedigree Lilac Point Siamese.

Never again shall I

• go to the bathroom alone
• sleep in - this morning I received a 5am wake up call
• have my lazy boy all to myself

Was thinking of renaming his "Yodi Get Down" but didn't want to steal someone else's thunder.

Right now we are in the middle of a heat wave (well, hot to us.....75-80 F) so both of our appetites are not very good. Have cut his meds in half (as per vet instructions) and his appetite has come back somewhat. Was told that Tapazole can cause anorexia...... Gee, maybe I should take some....

He's not a lap cat at all. Doesn't like to really snuggle like I do, doesn't take well to grooming, but he will sit next to me and make sure some part of him is touching me. Definitely he's not the cat I was wanting or looking for....but I'm the human he needs right now and I won't let him down nor abandon him. I love and accept him the way he is. After all, we all can't be purrfect.....

so happy to hear this update )

This is wonderful news. Yes, not all cats will be lap cats. My RB Storm, Sky,and Ziggy have never been. They do like to be near you though. I hope that you'll have many more wonderful years with your handsome Yodi.

"Oh, hello! Did you want to sit here? Well, I am already here. you have permission to adore me!" Hello, Yodi, beautiful boy!

Slick, does Yodi meow to you? One of the many things I've learned from PT is that meesers can be chatty kitties.

Yodi is so handsome! Congrats and bless you for helping him out, Slick!

[phesina]

Oh, dearest Yodi, you look like you are settling in!

You are SAFE now, for the rest of your life, in the most WONDERFUL HOME!!!!! We are sending loads of love and skritches and head bumpies.

Just checking for an update -- hope things are going well! Happy Caturday, wonderful meowmie Slick and beautiful Yodi!

I had to take little one to the vet today and they kept him overnight as they had to sedate him. He can get real nasty. Both of his ears have this nasty black stuff in them and I have been cleaning them on a regular basis but now his head is covered with scabs, perhaps from him scratching all the time - don't know. He has this awful head shaking too. The vet he goes to is not mine as I'm just fostering him. I have to take him on a 50 min drive each way and he does not take kindly to that. This morning he peed and pooped in his carrier and cried all the way there. Poor guy - I hope he didn't think I was going to abandon him. I asked the vet to show me his last test results in May and unfortunately his kidneys are not doing well and his T4 was off the chart. When it comes to me doing stuff to him, he turns evil and scratches and bites. Hell, when I'm that age I sure won't want someone picking at my ears..... I do my best. I pick him up tomorrow morning. I'm not very impressed with the shelter or the vet's office.

His purrsonality is really something I've never had to deal with before. He will come for pettings, but will not cuddle nor will he want to be held. He does not sleep with me at night and seems quite distant. That being said, I'm sure he still has some trust issues. Poor guy has been passed around enough but not any more. He's here to stay. His adoption fee is only $20 so I think I might buck up and make him mine. That way I can take him to my own vet who is only 5 min away. He's been there once already for a nail trim and did OK. I will wait to see his latest test results to make my decision. Money is a real concern for me right now.

**sigh**

I should also mention that other than eating very little he just curls up on the corner of the living room floor and sleeps all the time and as I watch him snooze, I can't help but wonder if he is really happier here than at the shelter.

Whoops! Hello, Yodee, beautiful GIRL!!!!

[kaycountrygal]

I just read the entire thread... don't know why I didn't see it before. Good for you for taking in Yodee. What a lucky cat she is to have you to give her a home, care, and love in her old age. She's very pretty!

[mbsmum]

Yodee is an adorable girl. Good health for a long time to come. Lots of lovies and scricthes.

[katladyd]

You are so very lucky! I have always had kitty boys, but someday I want to adopt a sweet kitty girl! My coworker, who lives in my apartment complex, has two adorable kitty girls and they are adorable. Have fun with Yodee and give that pretty girl some loves from me!
