Sunday Selfies

 

Hi everyone. We are joining, The Cat On My Head’s Sunday Selfie Blog Hop.

My crew wanted a vacation day so we have some guest selfies for today.

First, our burning bush.

And Bijou, a cat I am cat sitting for this week. There is another cat too, but I have never seen her because she is a scaredy cat.

Bijou looks like she is smiling. Please say a prayer for her, she is on the highest dose of thyroid meds, 2 pills morning and night. I was never given such a high dose for my cats and I wonder why. Have any of you ever had a cat on 10 mg twice a day? I am just curious.

She is a sweetheart and takes them well.

  1. Ahaha very interesting bush there! Bijou is a cutie! Sending purrs for her. I’m not familiar with thyroid dosing but that does sound high. XO

  2. How kind of you to be a nurse-sitter-kitty helper, Ms E. Lovely that Bijou….why do we kitties get so many troublesome illnesses? Maybe it’s just aging….

  3. Your burning bush is beautiful! Bijou does look like she’s smiling, and I’ll keep her in my prayers. Callie isn’t taking any meds, so I wouldn’t know, but that seems like a lot for a cat.

  4. I take 5 mg once a day and my blood test was perfection! That seems like an excessive amount for the cat you are sitting. I would be tempted to ask the Mom why she gets so much.

  5. Please thank Bijou for joining us today. The burning bush is gorgeous. What are the discs hanging in it? Thanks for hopping with us! XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona & Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer, Kizmet, Audrey & Raleigh

  6. Lots of healing hugs for Bijou ~ sweet kitty ~ so good to take the meds ~ don’t like meds for the most part so hope she gets off of them soon ~ hugs,

  7. Burning bush ready for Halloween… adorable googly eyes 🙂 Bijou is a cutie. I know nothing about thyroid meds for cats but I bet there are peeps here who comment that do know.
    Happy Sunday, Meowing Crew… enjoy your vacation day!

  8. It’s lovely to meet Bijou. I know Lucky, one of the shelter mascot cats, was on a huge dose of thyroid meds, and he looked dumpster cat skinny, ate like a little pig and would swallow anything in a pill pocket so was easy to dose. Thyroid meds are totally individualized, so there’s no telling what this cat’s levels are. Unless she is showing symptoms or acting ill, I’d figure the vet knows what’s up and has the dose right.

  9. The burning bush is beautiful. Our one burning bush doesn’t get enough sun so it doesn’t really “burn” but it is still pretty. We hope Bijou will do well on her meds, such a pretty name.

  10. Our Jack is on one pink pill a day. Felimazole plus some 4mm Meloxicam for a cough the vet cannot understand but the Meloxicam works to ease it a lot. I would look up to see about the dose, just so you understand why it is so high.

  11. Bijou is adorable. I don’t remember what dose Sashi was on. It was a long time ago.

  12. I had a cat years ago on thyroid meds, but I don’t think it was that high a dose. Bijou is cute! Love the burning bush.

  13. Chaplin: “That burning bush looks like somebody just goosed it! Or maybe something very surprising just happened in front of it!”
    Charlee: “Bijou looks very sweet. We are not familiar with thyroid medication dosages here. Our brother who we never met Tucker was on it, but he was a dog, and that was well before our time. We hope Bijou continues to do well on it though!”
