Unexpected Vet Visit

Oh dear, what a morning! Meowmie was just about to leave for work and she noticed me hopping back and forth between my litter-tray and my bed under the radiator. I was trying to do a wee-wee but nothing was coming out, I was also trying to do a poo and that eventually came out after which I immediately tummy-sick-upped my recently devoured breakfast!

It was just my usual constipation/lack of motility problem on the poo/breakfast expulsion - however, i continued to visit and revisit my tray trying to urinate but nothing was coming out. So meowmie called the vet and he said to bring me in...Ben Vet wasn't in today so I saw a new vat called Charlie Vet, he was nice but I missed Ben Vet cos he knows me well. I did headbutt Charlie Vet though, to welcome him to the practise cos he is new.

Anyways, everything was normal, ise gained a bit of weight, temperature OK, no suspicious lumps or anything, so they think I may have...Cystitis!!! How I got that I don't know! It can be stress-related but nothing is stressing me out apart from getting lactulose syringed down my throat twice a day! The vet said that because I am on a steroid my immune system is suppressed so I am more prone to getting things like this now. Anyhow, I had a shot of anti-biotics and some pain-relief and now I'm on anti-bitoics for the next 5 days. I really hope they work cos if they don't then it means there is something else wrong with me, possibly in my urinary tract and then I will have to go in for a day, or long enough to allow Ben vet to get a sterile sample of my urine...i fink this may involve a tube inserted into me :(

Ise swear Ise not doing this on purpose- or putting it on - cos I heard her say 'cat-sitter' the other day too!

I'm A Winner!

(and a Runner Up too!!!)

Oh my goodness I can not believe that I did so well in the Halloween Contest! Me and Castle won the Simply Siamese sponsored award "Best Meezer in Costume" for our Bride of Meezerstein outfits!!!



And I also came runner-up in "The Make-Me-Ware-Anything-but-a-Smile and I'll-Skratch-Yer-Frikkin-Eyes-Owt Award" for the best Photoshopped entry!!! I am not sure which of my pictures won that award so Ise gonne link to me and my brother's individual entries.



Thanks to Skeezix for this wonderful competition, it was so much fun! I loved all the entries and, in my eyes, every single contestant deserves a prize :)

...and here are 13 Thursday Thoughts to mull over....

1. When weeding the garden, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

2. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

3. Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

4. In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

5. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

6. Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

7. Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

8. Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

9. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

10. Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

12. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

13. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

Happy Halloween

My Meowmie helped me make the spooky picture above, it is a Jack The Ripper / London montage. Jack The Ripper was very scary indeed!

For my Meezer Rule Wednesday I am going to advise Meezers of the following: If your Bean forgets to give you your lactulose, then you must strain and strain over your litter tray and then just before anything comes out you must run and jump on to the sofa JUST as it comes out! This will teach your Bean to never forget to give you your lactulose. This is most effective in the morning, just after they have woken up.

Some more weird Google searches...

Just a quickie tonight cos Meowmie has just got home from the Gym and from having a cup of tea round at Meowmie J's house.

Oooookaaaayyyy...now being an innocent cat I don't quite know what some of these phrases might mean but my Meowmie laughed at some of them, stared open-mouthed at others and almost chocked on her tea at one or two others, here is just a small selection of the searches that bring people to my blog:

Furry Meet-ups

Guinea Pigs that look like wigs

Furry Holes

Smelly Farts Gas Masks

Chav and proud dog pics

Soft Furry Butterfly chairs

Lady with Furry crotch

I suspect the last one is the same person who was looking to find a furry lady on the internets some weeks ago. I must be such a disappointment! Maybe I should rename the blog though eh?

Oh...I heard Meowmie mention the word 'cat sitter' tonight! This has made me very curious...and a tad nervous!

Naughty Meezer Monday

The weather is getting a little colder now so Meowmie has put the heating system on for the winter months ahead. She is conscious of the environment though and only has it on a low setting; the heating system also self-regulates so it turns itself off when it hits a certain level of heat, and then comes back on when it goes below a certain level of heat - this function is VERY annoying when you are cuddled up to the radiator though, one minute I am all toasty, the next it goes all cold again. Now that the radiators are on she uses them to dry her washing - this gives us the oppotunity to make our VERY OWN nests and bedding areas! We do this without fail, everytime she places anything on the radiators, hence she has to remember not to leave things on them when she leaves the house or goes to bed. Last night Meowmie washed my towels (they are mine, they are on my sofa to protect it) and foolishly left them on the radiators, when she got in from work today we had pulled them off the radiator and made a BRILLANT and COSY nest, look:



My other naughty act tonight was to beg and beg and beg and beg for her to share some of her dinner with me. She selfishly made herself some chicken tonight, I think this is highly unfair, specially cos I am on an exclusion diet (have been for weeks and will continue to be for weeks to come!) and am only allowed catfish and tapioca Sensitivity Control dry food. I was REALLY annoyed with her, so I made her meal-time unbearable with my begging face! I even tried to climb on her - which I NEVER do! I do not go on to humans! Here I am, making a nuisance of myself:



Don't tell Ben Vet, but Meowmie gave in and eventually gave me a tiny piece of chicken to satisfy my raging chicken-hunger :) It tasted like heaven...nothing else apart from catfish and tapioca flavour food has passed my lips for weeks and weeks now.

Healthwise - Ise still being forced to have 2.5ml of lactulose every night and I still have my steroid every other night; vomitting frequency has definitely reduced and I can manage 2 (sometimes 3) day stretches without sicking now. My whiskers and still growing nicely and my tummy-hair is coming back too, it is quite a good length! Castle is super but still fat and still on a diet though, the big Boom Boom!

We are also all still praying for Miss Peach...Ise send her big hugs and purrs x

PS - I wish I could have voted for ALL my friends in the Halloween Contest! You are all so fantastic in your own ways and all deserve a prize!

The Cherish MeMe

Ise ever so proud to be handed the Cherish MeMe from the wonderful Chairman Mao...the Cherish MeMe was invented by the lovely Adan to celebrate our gorgeous furrend Miss Peach and show her how special she is to us. Miss Peach is feeling a little unwell so please please stop by her bloggie and give her and her mum Karla love and purrs!

Here are the rules for the Cherish meme, as written by Adan:

Hey, everyone, this time, I decide to start this cherish meme, here are some ways (depends on which person you write), and bring our love to Miss Peach~! She always makes us know what love is!

1. tell us what is the most sweetest warm thing you will do to your mommy (what is the sweetest thing that your kitty will do to you)

2. And, hug your mommy, tightly... (and, hug your kitty....tightly...)

3. Tag your good friend...

4. Leave your computer, and continuing hug each other..

Storm: I am not a lapcat at all so when I show my my mummy love by occassionally curling up on her lap like a prawn, with my head upturned so my chin is exposed for some rubs, she knows it is a very very special thing. I also get up on her bed and curl up against her or climb under the covers when i feel like showing her extra love too! I also love my mum to stroke me lots and lots and i give her the biggest headbutts ever! All of this is accommpanied by loud and noisy purring.

Castle: I am a very loving and affectionate cat and will throw myself onto my mum at any given opportunity - even when she goes to the loo I wind myself around her legs in figures of 8 and headbutt the underside of her legs until she shoes me away! I also love to prawn on her lap and let her rub my tummy and ribs loads and loads and i stare dreamily into her eyes, purring like crazy.

I should like to nominate the following for this MeMe:

Caeser & Princess
Starbuck and Torrey
Marie The Defender

PLEASE GET WELL SOON MISS PEACH! WE ARE PURRING LOUDLY FOR YOU XXX

Foughtful Friday!

Meowmie is very busy and unable to help me do a nice post so Ise just gonna post some questions for you to think about!

1) Why does your gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed?

2) If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?

3) Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

4) Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your bottom?

5) Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, 'My name is Peter and I am an alcoholic'?

6) Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?

7) Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

8) Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date?

9) Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp no one would eat?

10) Is French kissing in France just called kissing?
