Under the Weather


My furrends who aren't on Facebook may have not seen the following post from me:
TW says we had a bad night last night. I was restless and doing a lot of swallowing. She hopes the hairball isn't causing an obstruction. I now have an appointment first thing tomorrow morning in Secaucus. My PTU is out for me to get used to. As if. Heh heh! I'm eating normally, have no trouble going to the box and am alert. Keep those healing purrz and good karma coming
Yes, I've been under the weather for the past 2-3 days. Pop thinks the weather might have something to do with it. Out of nowhere, it got up to 80˚ Tuesday and Wednesday. I was dragging. The peeps thought it was too early to turn on the A/C but the house was stifling. TW finally turned it on Tuesday night to try to perk me up. Wednesday I tried again to hack up that darn hairball and again nothing came up.

Last night was the worst. I tossed and turned and kept swallowing hard. I really scared TW when I started sort of moaning. I was audibly breathing but my body wasn't moving up and down. TW was monitoring me to make sure my breathing wasn't labored. She knows all the drills. Maybe that's why her head plays tricks with her and she's so quick to call the v.e.t. She says Savvy's Mom may be onto something suggesting acid reflux.

All night, TW comforted me. She was a real trooper; refusing to go to sleep until I was comfortable. She even laid her head on my pillow next to me, which made me feel better. She couldn't lay that way long because of her cat allergies but she tried.

Secaucus Animal Hospital.
The other day, she's called the mobile v.e.t. and made an appointment for next Wednesday. This morning, she decided she couldn't wait to get me checked out so I have an early appointment Friday with Dr. Hatch at the Secaucus Animal Hospital. It's where Pop used to take Faith; in fact, the v.e.t.'s office still had him in the computer. No way will they take me back to Hoboken and the scene of the crime.

The reason TW and Pop didn't rush me to the v.e.t. is that I'm been eating very good, using my box (both pees and poos), I've been grooming quite a bit and I look alert.

Today is much cooler. all the windows in the condo are open and I've been running around like crazypants. The peeps claim that they're not going to be fooled into cancelling my appointment. My PTU is out and, believe it or not, I've been napping and playing in it. Heh, heh, I'm tricking the peeps into thinking they're gonna get me in there tomorrow.

Please send healing purrz, positive thoughts, prayers, good karma my way. Oh, a few kind cat Moms have axed about donating for my v.e.t. bills since my peeps are both out of work. After we find out what the damage is, TW will put a widget on the sidebar of the blog. I hope she can figure out how to do it. Thanks to everybuddy for their good wishes, especially those who want to donate. We love you all very much.

UPDATE: I just got home from the v.e.t. Apparently I have asthma just like TW. When I get an attack I have to share her inhaler. How gross! I'm 11.4 lbs. I wouldn't let them cut my claws or do any bloodwork or xrays. My teeth are fine so no cleaning is necessary. I got my shots and anal probe. I was a real terror even though TW had Comfort Zone in the PTU. I WAS quiet most of the way there and all the way home. TW was cheating on me with a few of the adoptable cats there.

  22. Am glad it is something treatable and that you Mom & Dad took you to the V E T ... pollen season is the worst - hugs and kisses

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ck, you deserve your OWN inhaler! Fancy having to share with a Human...bluck, think of the GERMS. We hope when pollen season is over you feel better...some of us get a daily dose of benedryl cos we get such watery eyes and sneezies.

  26. uh asthma! so sorry you gotz to have in haler now. Mom better get a big one. Are you allergic to TW now?
    purrs and hugs, feel better mai furend.

    ReplyDelete
  27. CK, we're sorry you got asthma, but we really think you should have your own inhaler and not have to share TW's. If anything, she should be sharing yours. Just sayin'.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Purrs and hugs! Asthma! yikes, that's not fun! If your TW already has it, then she knows to get rid of all aerosols, right? I had asthma at one time, getting rid of aerosols seriously helped.

    As for your coconut oil questions, I have no idea if it helps with asthma. We got it at the grocery store. We have the kind that doesn't smell or taste like coconut. You can get other kinds from health food stores.

    We hope you feel better soon!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. you will get this asthma thing all controlled CK, I know you. And with TW and Pops to hold your paws and comfort you when you are adjusting to managing it, you will come through like the champ you are...well, and of course, like the Pope you are as well...paw hugs, your BFGF Savvy

  30. Great big purrs, CK. we agree with the Island Cats. Tell TW that the inhaler is yours and she can borrow it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. CK, glad to know it is not too serious. I am a little late but I am sending purrs anyway, hopefully they'll make you feel a little better!

  32. So sorry to hear that, CK...but very relieved it's not something even more serious.

    Nice job on making the Vet remember you.
    xoxo

  33. Allie: oh my CAT, CK! Asthma? At the very least you should demand your own inhaler so, you know, you don't have to get her germs or anything.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hi darling! I am happy that you will be okay and I think sharing the 'haler with TW will be a nice bonding 'speerience for you and TW. And you know, CK, you have to reassess your attitude toward her after her staying up with you and comforting you and not going to sleep till you were settled and then taking you right away to be checked out. I hate to say it, but I think you owe her some major lovin'. You know?

    ReplyDelete
  35. We're sorry to hear about your asthma, but glad it wasn't something life-threatening. Sharing your mom's inhaler does sound pretty yucky. You'd think they would make those just for kitties. We'll keep you in our prayers that you don't have anymore bad attacks. If TW is allergic to you, maybe you are allergic to her! MOL. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

  36. CK - was cathing up on pal's posts and reached yours * Wow * what a scare for your Mom. Hang in there, you are a great kitty and we stand paw to paw - inhaler or no inhaler. You are still here, you are THE CATHY KEISHA - and we love you.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Asthma? That sucks, but maybe you can get some nose kisses with Mom when you each use the inhaler. :)
