Caturday Saturday

Posted on by
20

We are joining Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop and The Pet Parade. But, first a Millie update. I thought all the bumps he had on him were mast cell tumors because he does have one. The good news is that I was wrong. The bad news is he has cutaneous lymphoma. This was a slightly better diagnosis than the mast cell tumors. We are hoping to buy several months with the prednisolone. Fortunately, the bumps don’t seem to bother him and he still has an appetite.Please keep him in your prayers.

I used Lunapic’s Delaunay effect  ( I almost always use Lunapic because it is easy) on Millie’s elf photo.

I made a puzzle too. Here is the link: https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=18faca0fc140

It took me 18 min 58 sec. I am sure you can all beat that.

Poor Angel Stinky always asked for a new name.

Hi everyone! We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

  Joanie and Emmy are thankful that Prancie is letting them have the Advent calendar treats because they are too tough for her to chew. ( Don’t worry, she gets Temptations instead).

We are also joining   Sammy’s Poetry Day. Here is my poem to go with this photo prompt.

Laundry day is such a pain
hoping there is no rain.
Looks like everyone is Bombay
chose to do it the same day.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

Penny’s Tips Volume 55

Hi everyone! I am back with more money saving holiday tips for you.

Once again I am forced to dress the part.

I need to give a shout out to Rene at It’s All About the Cats for reminding me of Retail Me Not. It is a great website to get coupon codes for pretty much anything.Mom downloaded two other sites into her computer that automatically search for codes every time she buys something online ( which is a lot). She uses Wikibuy and Honey. Before you pay for your order, they quickly test coupon codes to get you the best deal. Mom never buys anything without a coupon.

We are joining Comedy Plus’ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop. We are also joining the Pet Photo Fails blog hop hosted by Melissa and Miss Mudpie in memory of Roby Sweet.

I happily provided a fail.

And Emmy did too.

Hi everyone! Thank you for all the kind words you left on my blog and Facebook page for the loss of KaTwo. We miss her very much. I am back blogging, but I don’t know for how long because now Millie is getting sicker. He now has several mast cell tumors all over his body. I know cats only live for a short time compared to us, but it really stinks when they all get sick so close together. There is no time to heal our hearts in between. I will try to stay positive though. I am hoping predinisolone can help him.

Last Sunday, a mere 12 hours after KaTwo left us ,I got a phone call about a cat. The same lady that brought me Trouble caught another stray and needed a warm place for her until she could get fixed. I believe everything happens for a reason so I think this sweet girl is meant to be mine even though my hubby immediately reminded me that we don’t need anymore cats. I know that and I am not trying to replace KaTwo, but there is some reason she ended up with me.

I am bringing her to get fixed hopefully this week ( weather permitting) and FELV/FIV tested. If she is healthy and gets along with other cats then she will have a forever home here. She lets me pick her up and purrs her little head off. Any name suggestions?

Penny will be here tomorrow with more money saving tips for the holidays.

 

Goodbye My Sweet KaTwo

KaTwo left us quite suddenly last night.

( Thank you Pipo’s Mom for this image)

I knew her time was limited after being diagnosed with mammary cancer 15 months ago, but other than the small lumps she had no symptoms and was very active. I think it was a blood clot, not sure if it was from her thyroid related heart murmur or from the cancer. She is the one cat I was unable to give aspirin to, I could barely get her liquid thyroid meds into her.I am thankful we were with her. My heart is so broken , this is the third loss this year. I only had her for 7 and a half years, but I am thankful for that time. She had been in the Secaucus, NJ Animal Shelter for 2 years before we adopted her.

She loved to be right next to me on the couch and that is where she was when she left this world.

And thank you to Teddy’s mom for this beautiful angel image.

Fill-Ins are canceled this week. I will be back blogging Saturday or Sunday. Wishing all the US readers a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi everyone! We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

First off, I am thankful to have my blog back. I updated a plug-in on wordpress and lost everything. Has that happened to any of you? Being that I don’t know how to do technical things, I had to pay GoDaddy $80 to fix it. It was worth it though to have everything back.Plus I can have 2 more problems within a month included in the price.

Penny is thankful that her friend Amarula ( a fellow tortie) and family at Hairballs and Hissy Fits sent her a Canadian penny. They are no longer in circulation and are hard to come by. They also sent some treats and nip which Penny (reluctantly) shared with her siblings.

And Prancie and I are thankful that her book is being reviewed today on Christmas Tree  Lane ( being that it is Christmas themed). It is a wonderful blog of all things Christmas.

Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.
