My poor little girl (she's ok) - 3 pics added post 38

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I didn't want to scare anybody with the title of this thread so I'll let you all know right away that she's doing good - relatively speaking.

I feel so bad though, because......well.....like many an old lady.....she is now wearing diapers.

We had the motorhome pretty well pee proofed - puppy pads everywhere, I slept under a shower curtain so she could sleep on top of me and I didn't have to worry about her peeing all over the bed, etc., but it was just getting to be too much for me to clean up after her so I resorted to the dreaded diapers. I just bought them today and she seems to be tolerating them well. At first she walked like she had a 10 ton weight on her butt, but now it's almost as if she doesn't even know it's there. And she squatted to pee - on the couch no less - and I didn't immediately grab her and put her in the litter box, so I think she's going to like them once she really gets used to them. I know I'm going to like them.

No pictures though. Right now we're both still getting used to them. To me she looks pitiful and so sad, and to her....well....it's hard for little old ladies to get used to the idea of having to wear a diaper, so she's a little too humiliated yet for pictures.

Other than peeing everywhere, she is doing well - continues to beg for food all the time, likes her snuggles with her daddy and likes to go outside again now that we're out of the desert and in a nice park again.

We just got in a few days ago and I had to completely de-dust the motorhome and everything in it - what a mess! - so I'm hoping to be able to be back here and spend a little more time one of these days soon, but wanted to let you know about the latest development in my geriatric ward.

Oh Peanut! I know that walk...it is what the E's would do when they were "getting used to" the harnesses. The drama wears off rather quickly.

But Debbie...WHEN will I get the picture of you sleeping under a shower curtain out of my mind?????

Gentle hugs to sweet little Peanut!

Oh Peanut! Poor little old lady. I guess we'll all be wearing Depends when we get to be her age too.

[lvpets2002]

Awee bless her wittle heart.. Glad she is doing well.. Yes she & you will get used to the adjustments to be made.. Pictures please when ready..

That shower curtain is a great idea. I've been trying to sleep with rubberised baby sheets over me but it's far too hot. Actually, Ginger's "senior moments" are fewer this winter than last which is a great relief. With a newspaper covered bathroom near the bed, she seems willing to get there most of the time. Diapers didn't work with Ginger because her digestive system is no longer functioning perfectly and the poop coming out of the diaper and onto everything was worse than cleaning up pee. How do you manage that part with Peanut? It simply stays in the diaper?

I keep hoping there will be someone around who is as willing to be patient with me.

Yes! We will all be doing OK if we have a Debbie to look after us in later life.

Hugs to darling Peanut.

That's just what I was thinking lol. I was just imagining how it would look for someone to sleep under a shower curtain It's so good that Peanut is getting used to the diaper,maybe soon she won't even realize its there and she'll learn to love it cause she can go to the bathroom anywhere

Debbie, just be glad Peanut DOES walk. Back when Sterling first started to spray (and would NOT stop) I tried the diaper thing. He just laid on the floor like a fish out of water. Not willing to even try to move.

Peanut, I am certain you look MAH-velous!!

The Tubbies Angels are with Peanut Butter and will try and guide her to the Litter Box.
They are explaining the diapers and that you still love her so very much.
We are praying for Peanut at the Hotel.

Poor Peanut. At least she's getting used to the diapers and will tolerate them. I'm glad to hear that she's doing well otherwise.

[Vermontcat]

Oh Peanut, just call it a new fashion statement.
Sending huggies to sweet Peanut girl.
Any chance of pictures?
Not just of the diaper fashion but of the shower curtain bedding too?

[moosmom]

Deb,

Just the thought of you wrapped in a shower curtain sound asleep with sweet lil Peanut on top of you made me choke on my coffee.

Poor lil Peanut. The things we do to make our furbabies comfortable.

Can't WAIT to see pictures!!

[kimlovescats]

Awww, gentle hugs to sweet Peanut and to mommy for being so good to her!

Poor Peanut! It must be hard to be a proud kitty and then have to wear a diaper, but I'm sure she knows that it's for her good as well as yours. The shower curtain thing sounds amusing though, lol.

Hm..... maybe I can do this with my pee-ers at home. Never thought of that. Got a pooper now too... though I think it's my newest addition to the family, Honeybun, because he was known to do that at his foster home. He's old as well, so maybe that has something to do with it.
