Sunday Selfie from My Cat Tree's Forever Home

Meows from Mudpie!

This week I thought I'd take a selfie and share a couple more photos from my cat tree's forever home :) 

Last week Mommy spent lots of time rearranging the living room (and decluttering at the same time) to make room for it in the front window right next to the couch. Mommy was so proud of me and how I immediately figured out how to use the back of the couch to climb to and from the tree. 

Truthfully, I haven't spent a ton of time on it yet mostly because it's still been chilly and I prefer Mommy's lap, but I have a feeling once better weather settles in I'll be using it much more often.

1. I don't donate money to any charities, but I appreciate those that do.

2. Lately, I can't get enough pizza. Actually, I've never been able to get enough pizza! LOL 

3. Getting very sick after eating baked ziti scared me away from ricotta cheese. I have no proof that ricotta was the culprit, but it was the only ingredient I had never had before, and I haven't had it since.

4. Dad forced me to learn how to drive a stick shift. It didn't go well.

Thankful Thursday: Medical Update

Meows from Mudpie!

I haven't provided a medical update in a little while so here goes...

When I was having my tushie troubles in January there were a few occasions when I peed small amounts on the living room carpet, something I had never, ever done before. Well, I'm kinda embarrassed to admit that over the past couple weeks I've been doing it on a regular basis in the same area. Not small amounts either, but emptying my entire bladder there. Mommy was very patient with me (even though she told me it had to stop), and laid down a piece of plastic, puppy pads, and a baking pan as a temporary litter box. I would always do my number twos in my litter box in the bathroom, but I rarely peed there. 

Mommy was convinced I either had a UTI or my diabetes had come out of remission, so last week she brought a urine sample to the vet for a urinalysis. We got the results on Tuesday and there was no infection present, and no sugar either, which was pawsome news! 

With no apparent medical reason for my "accidents" Mommy knew I was peeing on the floor because even though she cleaned it up immediately each time, I could still smell it and the plastic and puppy pads were telling me it was OK. She went right to the store and got some Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer, Dr Elsey's litter attractant, and a brand new litter box. Yesterday morning she picked up the plastic and puppy pads, thoroughly cleaned the carpet, and put the new litter box back in the same spot. (Not ideal to have a litter box in the living room, but better than using the carpet as a toilet!) 

So far, it's working! I gave the whole area a big snifferoo and hopped right into my new litter box. Mommy was very happy that I remembered how to potty like a lady! 

On another note, the vet wants me to try a prescription kidney diet but Mommy is very apprehensive because it has a much higher carb content than Fancy Feast. It's a catch 22 - by trying to protect my kidneys the diabetes could make a return appearance. For now Mommy is putting some Kidney Gold in my food each day and we'll see if that makes any difference in my bloodwork next time.

It's no fun getting old!

Dramatic #SundaySelfie

When Mommy first helped me snap this selfie we both thought it was destined for the blooper reel, but the more we looked at it the more we realized how cool the contrast is between the sunlight and shadows. It makes me look so dramatic!

1. I rue the day I didn't remain at the ER the night Truffles died. 

2. One thing I wish I had closure with is Truffles' death. I was unable to get back to the emergency vet in time to be with her at the end, and 10 years later I still don't know if she passed on her own or if they had to put her to sleep. 

3. The basement recently took a turn for the worse when the new furnace went in. I had to move so much around it'll be a miracle if I ever manage to find anything ever again! On the plus side, in one week I made 3 trips to Goodwill and one trip to the landfill with stuff I no longer needed or wanted! 

4. My living room has improved thanks to Mudpie's new cat tree. I've had stacks and stacks of old VHS tapes piled up in the corner (without even a working VCR) but those had to go to make room for the cat tree. I have kept all my DVDs though, and even finally hooked my DVD player up to the new TV I got back in late 2024. 

What a Face, Mudpie! #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Woohoo, we've almost made it through meteorological winter! It's supposed to be in the 40s tomorrow (heat wave!), then in the 20s on Sunday and Monday, then climbing back up through next week. We're not out of the woods yet though - our area is notorious for getting a big storm in mid March. We did manage to escape the northeast blizzard without a single flake, thankfully. We still have a lot of snow on the ground from previous storms though. It'll be quite awhile before any grass pokes through! 

My blooper this month is a real doozy. Not only is it blurry, but what a hideous expression on my normally precious little face! I have no idea what was going on to illicit such a reaction. More than likely Mommy was denying me a snack.

That's my blooper...let's see yours!
