Dear Mr. Boots,

I had a message from Ms. Sophie (she doesn't know it yet) and she asked if I could anoint you Count of Catnip. I said if she could be Princess of Parsley, you can be Count of Catnip.

I hereby dub thee Count (and get well!)

Lady Edwina (on behalf of the Queen.)

Boots, we're sure to glad to hear it's almost over with these "pee pipes". I bet you'll be happy to see your sand box again - and use it! You may have to get some different crunchies - that is, if you don't already are getting those, - and keep swallowing the little round pills for a few more days, they will do you good, so you keep your spirit high, Boots!!

You say Hi to Cinder, Smoke and your dad too!

Keeping our paws and all crossed here, just in case!

Purrs and nosekisses from,
Fister & his mum

Hey there Mizzer Boots - oh sorry - Count of Catnip! I don't usually talk on the Cat board but when I heard you weren't feeling good, I just had to stop over! My Mister Marty had the exact same problem. Once it was cleared up, the Doc put him on a low ash and magnesium food.

Our doc said that it is common in male cats that are neutered and are around the age of 1 1/2 to 3 to have this problem. Hills makes a prescription diet food that is low in both ash and magnesium. Purina just came out with a special urinary tract formula.

I sure do hope your feeling better in no time. I know your family is really worried about you!

Hi ya Boots, Rascal here.

The white coat put me on some Hilly diet and Mom kinda complained because it is spensive. (I don't know what spensive is but she said it was, maybe it means special).

Gotta tell ya that I jus love it. I hafta round up Mom every mornin to be sure the bowl is full before I go back for my morning nap.

Anyway, hope yur feelin much better. That pee thingamajiggy doesn't sound like much fun.

Hi, Ebberbuddie ~ Boots, the dribbel Kat here ~

Tanks fur all the Kind Wurdz, Prayerz, an Get Well Wishez -
Must be werkin kuz I feels more better .

Saprized Dad this mornin - Busted maself outta the Tubby Jail last nite! Wudda been out sooner iffin I had thumz onna paws. Dad did a big when he saw me onna vanity top! Got bored after the ink started runnin onna papurs inna tub. And they nebber put the komik page on top where I could reed it .

Figger sumpin's up kuz I gotz loaded inna trakter kar wiffa Dawgs an we're all atta Shop now. Dad brung my sandy box an set it up - I jumped rite in an tried ta pee - but it all musta dribbel'd out thru da pipe?
He laid out fresh papurz - but I'z curled up inna sandy box wiff my kone-head propped up onna side a da box - softer thana papurs onna floor!

He keeps sayin he's goin to Walliez Mart ta get sum 'baby wipes' ta kleen me up. Hurrie up, Dad - kuz I *stinkz* an got a reelee BAD case a *Bad Hare*... Kan't reach a single paw wiffa tung likker kuzza this durn cone funnel jam'd on my headbone! I dont wanna go see Doc Mike anna Offis Gurlz lookin like this.

Thankz fur the KatNip titul - but Iz not the "Kount" type - jest kall me *Kat*...
An tanks fur the Parsley offer, Sophie! Rellee preciate that - kuz I knowe ya dont share yer Parsley wiff jest enniebuddie! Dunno if that stuff werkz like KatNip tho? Might be jest a Bunnie Thing?

An Dixie ~
Rather than switch my krunch grub - Doc tole Dad we wuz gonna try the "acidifier" pillz - only not stop em after a kupla weekz like we did last time. Doc sed I'd prolly hafta take a pill or two a day forevur... Wish Dad dint get QUITE so much plezure *shootin* en down my mouf!

Gettin tired - gonna go jump back inna sandy box while Dad goez fur the 'wipes'.

Dont think Doc's gonna nok me out ta pull da pipe - so Iz prolly gonna be able ta let y'all knowe how the White Coat visit goez aftur 5 a-klok.

Mee-oow atcha all then...

/s/ Boots, da Kat

The visit wiff Doc wuzint half as bad as the gettin reddy part... Dad finally toddled off to Wallys Joint an got the baby wiperz. Don't they make dem things WIFFOUT the stinky purfume on em??!

Dad started wipin - the on top part wuz OK - it wuz when he started doin the tummie anna privates I gotz a lil uppyset. *I* dint knowe it, but when I wuz *out* at the White Coat Lab last Friday - Doc did a big trim job on my Klawz (rite after Dad dun it affore I went!

I gotz nuffin but STUBz fur Klawz! Tried kickin Dad's pawz anna wiperz away - but he jest laffed atta kickin. Got dun wiffa tummie - then started wipin my facebonez an earz - rite inside the kone kollar. THEN he startz wiffa ole dawggie / puppie brush - pullin out sum purfektly good hare!

We runned outta tyme - wuz a minnit late gettin to Doc's Place. Went in there almost *bald* an smellin like a Floozie! Offis Gurls said I looked *purdy*. ~ Uggggh! Grrrrr...

Doc snipped the hold-it-in threads an zipped out the pipe...

HO-BOY! Duz that feel better!

Then the Skrub Tech Gurl took'd off that durn kone kollar ~ YIPPIE! I kan turn my headbone agin!

Gotz anudder bag of "acidifier" pillz - that makes a two week supply of ammo fur Dad's *pill shooter*. Then they started talkin bout how to >>watch<< me...

Soundz like I gotta spend summore time inna baffroom jail - but at least I getz the hole room an don't hafta sleep inna tubby ennie more. Dad sez I'll get purolled out onna stringy leash when he anna Muttz are home - onlee locked up when I'z alone. Wunner iffin I'll get ta go to the Shop wiffa Guyz? Might - but still gotta stay tied up when I'z there - Dad sez WAY too many places to get lost an in trubbel inna Shop!

Big project fur me is to keep makin *damp spotz* inna sandy box! I'z gonna try an make a lotta *skratchin noizez* ebery time I jump inna box - that getz Dad's tenshun an he kumz to see "What the heck are ya DOIN in there?!"

Lez GO, Dad! I'z HOONGREE an I dint see ya pack a bag a kittie krunch when we loaded up this mornin. Anna Dawgz nebber leave any skrapz inna bowlz.

Dad jest minded me ~~
