Phew, what a weekend it's been! On Friday morning while I was eating breakfast Mommy noticed that my tushie was a little stinky. Thinking I might have a dingleberry down there, she took a comb to try brushing it out. Usually I don't react when she does that, but this time I screamed. She gently started feeling around and noticed a warm, soft spot of skin.
Up on the kitchen counter I went so she could take a better look, and she found a red, swollen lump. She figured right off it was an anal gland issue, but having never had a cat with that problem before, she still kind of freaked out. She called the vet and was able to get me an appointment at the end of the day.
Mommy thinks this is one of the prettiest pictures she's ever taken of me.
I agree!!!
Some good news...my weight loss program is working. This spring I was 20.2 pounds, and I'm down to 18.7. I also had my first senior blood work done, and everything was normal. My kidney values are on the high side of normal, but still normal.
By Friday night the spot had gotten SO big, Mommy was sure it was going to rupture overnight, and sure enough, at 8:30 Saturday morning it did...on grandpa's lap! MOL

I'm feeling much better, just really tired and clingy after my ordeal. We're hoping the area heals quickly without further intervention.
You know what I find kinda funny? My cute 'lil butt cost Mommy $300!!! (Except that $300 would've been much better spent on squeezies!)
We're joining our friends at The Cat On My Head for the Sunday Selfies blog hop!

Dearest Mudpie, how could you have looked so sweet and calm when all this terrible thing was going on. Precious and i are so sorry this happened. And relieved your bee-hind has been relieved. Good of Grandpa to be obliging when the real action took place. Please recover soon. Tell us again which Purina One you eat, and maybe Precious should change.
Poor Mudpie! I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’m sure Mommy and Grandpa were very worried. Hopefully no more excitement any time soon!
At least you still have a cute behind. We are pleased things moved well for you, and that you are on the mend, Mudpie. I bet your staff will be able to squeeze in some extra squeezies to aid recovery!

PS, do share what new feed/diet you are on. Mrs H says I need something like that too...
Oh poor Mudpie, sending lots of hugs to you to feel good!
Oh gosh, Mudpie! That WAS a crazy weekend, for sure. We are glad you are doing better now. That must have been so painful. XO
We agree....squeezies would have been much better. We're glad you are okay now.
yoo haz a berry expensive booty
Mudpie, this is such a gruesome tale! I'm sorry you had to go through all that pain -- bummer. It's great that you are now on the mend and that grandpa's lap was the answer to ending it all. Have a good recovery, and congrats on the weight loss.
Oh dear, that was quite the ordeal and I'm sure glad you are on the mend sweet Mudpie. That is a totally beauiful photo of you!
You poor kitty. That was an ordeal. I agree about your selfie. That is a gorgeous shot of you that shows off your beautiful furs. XO
Purrayers and POTP that you and your Mom and Grandpa recover from the ordeal !
Mudpie, I’ve been down that road…a couple of times. The first time it was just impacted and the vet was able to clean it out. But I had to wear the cone of shame. The second time it ruptured. And because it did, I didn’t have to wear the cone. But both times I had to take that nasty medicine. I’m glad you don’t have to wear the cone and I hope you heal quickly. ~Ernie
Ouch! Momma says she had a dog whose anal gland burst one time - it wuz no fun for her.
Mudpie, your Mom is right, that is indeed a pretty picture of you! What an ordeal you've been through! Hopefully it will resolve quickly now and be over with!
Thank you, I wrote it down this time. I will match ingredient labels and
see what I find. Canned food cleans out Precious like a laxative, lol.
Oh, what an eventful weekend you've had! It's always a relief when Mommy takes care of those unexpected "tushie troubles." Now, after all that excitement, it's time to unwind with a delicious شوكليته treat and some well-deserved relaxation!
Oh you sweet girl, so sorry that happened to you, but so happy to hear that you're feeling okay now🙏Your Selfie is beyond sweet and beautiful, it represents all that you are😻Will send HDouble Healing Pawkisses especially for you and we think your mommy can use some too🐾😽💞
Oh sweetie! What an ordeal for you and your Mom and poor Grandma! I'm so glad it all worked out OK. You deserve extra squeezies for sure.
