1. My favorite kind of pie is Mudpie. Did you really think I would choose anything else? But for pie I can actually eat, pecan is my favorite.

2. I will celebrate St. Patrick's Day by eating cabbage. I don't like corned beef.

3. I was correct when I predicted that there would be a ton of things to take care of after mom and dad were gone.

4. I didn't see losing Truffles at such a young age coming.

Unboxing February's CatLadyBox

 The theme of February's CatLadyBox was Purr Love...here's what was inside!

Featured Cat Lady Artist:

Abi Go Lucky

Cat Lover Supersoft Tee:

Wear your cat love proudly! I love the pink.

Here Kitty Kitty Woven Tote:

Whenever I'm out and about I have my eye out for cats, so this is very fitting!

Mini Meow Ramekins:

These are the CUTEST!!! I have just about everything imaginable with cats on it, but these are my first ramekins. I plan to use them for things like guacamole and salsa. I might give one to Mudpie for her squeezie too :) 

The Last Slice & Thomas the Teddy Catnip Toys:

Such adorable toys! I'm trying to get a photo of Mudpie with her paw wrapped the teddy while she sleeps, and as a pizza fanatic I'm particularly partial to that one. Love the heart shaped pepperoni. Little cat faces would've been a nice touch too though!

Cuddle Session

Meows from Mudpie!

I slept with my head cradled in Mommy's hand for a long time the other day. Her heart melted.

She loves how this picture shows my paw up her sleeve!

We sure have been cuddling up a storm this winter!

 

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.

And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

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!
