Tummy Tuesday

55 comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today is tummy Tuesday and Joanie has all her t’s covered this week. Lucy still has tummy issues too, but not the good kind. I am glad she is eating again, but she still has troubles when she uses the litter box floor. We will be seeing her vet today, I don’t mind any of the vets where we go, but I do prefer this one as she has been there for years.

Tuesday is medical day too so I wanted to share a warning I saw recently on another blog called floppycats.com : http://www.floppycats.com/ragdoll-cat-poisoning-from-bath-and-body-works-plug-in-air-freshener.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+floppycats%2FmheS+%28Floppycats+Blog%29

A cat was poisoned from the fragrance oil leaking out of a Bath and Body Works plug-in. I had one of those in the bathroom , but only plugged it in when company was coming ( not often).  When I read this, I tossed it in the trash immediately.

And here is Joanie showing her tummy, toesies and tongue too:

  3. We forget that even air fresheners are chemicals. Many people are sensitive, but cats have fragile chemistries. Thanks for sharing that.
    Hoping that Lucy continues to get better.
    ❤

  4. Joanie, you have a beautiful tummy. I hope your issues are better soon. We don’t use any air fresheners or chemically scenty things in the house because mom hates the fake smell and they make her not be able to breathe easily. But I think being toxic is an even better reason to not have them in the house. Mom figures if the house smells, it’s past time to open a window!

    1. I don’t like many scents, but when I found a febreeze I liked, I bought 10. I never use potpourri or oils, I had the one plug in oil, but I tossed it-at least our trash bin smells good this week 🙂

  5. My human used to love potpourri, but then she found out that it was really bad if cats ate any of it! So yeah, no air fresheners here.

  7. Thanks for the warning about the fragrance oil. Mom doesn’t use fragrance stuff too much – except when the Feline boxes get stinky and the stink lingers. She only uses it when none of us is around. BTW, I love your tummy, Joanie!

  8. EEEEK on the room freshener – we don’t use those but what a horrible thing to happen! Love the tummy/toes/tongue shot – thanks for that…….keep us posted on Lucy’s vet visit too!!!! Inquiring mind want to know what the vet says….

    Love, Sammy

    1. I am not a fan of them, but I liked the winter scent from there. I tossed it though- safety first. I sent you an email about Lucy and will write about her tomorrow.

    1. Good idea not to have the stinky stuff around. I hope Lucy feels better soon, but she needs an ultrasound before we can medicate.

    1. Thank you for the kind thoughts on Lucy. She will have an ultrasound next Tuesday ( it travels and will be at her vets). Until then I have to try to keep her eating. I think your Mom needs ear plugs- that would help her sleep 🙂

  14. Lucy, we sure hope that the vet can help you with your tummy. That sure is good looking tummy. Sending lots of purrs;

    1. I agree they are not safe. I have always been afraid of fires so I only used the one I had once in a while when I had company.

  16. I like the legs extended outwards in the photo. Interesting poisoning story. You think you have thought of everything, then . . . .

    1. There are so many dangers, most kitties won’t go near things like that, but once in a while one does.

  17. guys……heerz ta happee tummeez all round for everee one ~~~~ pawz crossed for grate mews frum de vet…..♥♥♥ thanx all sew for de headz up on de freshnerz……while we due knot use em; we will bee sure ta share……happee twooz day joanie 🙂 ~~~

    1. Thank you for the kind thoughts on the tummies. Lucy will have an ultrasound next week- I just need to keep her eating until then. I asked for the B-12 shot and the vet said to wait until after the ultrasound.

  19. Hi Joanie…I’m loving your toes and tummy!!
    Thank you for the info about the fragrance oil….thank goodness we don’t have those here.
    Hugs madi your appreciative house guest

  20. Joanie be lookiin’ bootyful and weez purrayin’ fur Lucy. Dat was very sad ’bout what happened to da kitty, but there awe cautions and warnings on da packagin’. Unfurtunately peeps not always like da smells dat come wiff havin’ ppets and they put those fings in aweas they shuldn’t.

MOL Hope y’all have a gweat day and dat yous get sum answers ’bout Lucy soon.

    Luv ya’

    1. Bath and Body Works does have nice smelling stuff, but it is not worth it to risk the cats’ lives. I don’t buy candles either, only fake ones 🙂

  26. No ‘fresheners’ here except open windows, meowmy is allergic to scents…works good fur kitties to keep them safer a hidden benefit:)

    Purrs continue fur Lucy.

    That is a good tummy all ready fur rubs!!

    1. Mom only uses fake candles and poutpouri is poisonous too if a kitty eats it and Joanie probably would. We have a nice smelling Febreeze, but it was discontinued so Mom found 10 cans on Amazon and bought them, but we are getting low. I bet you smell purrfect my sweet purrince.
      Love, Phoebes XO paw kisses and nose kisses and headrubs too!

      1. Oh LadyMum says shee forgot that Poe-purr-ee iss poisonous…..shee rarelee ever used it because it wood make her sneeze a lot!!!
