How is Socks doing, Welu?

Only saw this now. She's much better, back on form. Guess she was stressed from all the people.

How is kitty? I can't remember if they're Percy or ferret is Percy, sorry.

Oh good. Yeah, pets can have bad days just like we can.

Percy is the kitty, and he's doing well. Has his cast and cone off now, though he has to stay in the cage a while longer.

So my wife is taking our dong, Robbie, up for his first treatment today. 5 days of treatment W-F and then Monday and Tues. It is a radiation treatment but not one to really try to kill the cancer, that was very pricey with very little chance of long term success. This will mainly help to clear up his sinuses so he can breathe clear and have a better quality of life for his last few months.

Hopefully it goes well. the place where it happens is an hour and a half away and my wife did not want to make him stay there for days on end so we are shuttling him back and forth in the mornings and afternoons so he can spend the evenings and nights at home.

So sorry to hear about that, both of you. When I lost my mate O'Malley, it helped knowing that he stayed with me for as long as he could, he stayed alive long enough so I could see him again when I visited my dad. He died as soon as I left. He gave us all the love he had, and it would be selfish to ask more of him.

Of course, I miss him so much, but I know he wouldn't want me to be sad. I know that because whenever I did, he'd come over and lie down on my face.

anyway, here's a video of my dogs to cheer you up perhaps?

This is what my cats do. The ferrets have no concept of happy and sad just MOMMY FEED ME or MOMMY I'M GONNA CHASE YOU and such.

Kisa is still a tiny cute kitten. She's become a window cat and complete couch potato. (The section she's lying on has officially become her spot. She's claimed it with ALL THE HAIR.) Also she's a bit of a magpie and has been dragging the weirdest things up from the basement/down from upstairs into the living and dining room, including but not limited to: a tree skirt, a santa hat, a balaclava, dirty socks, one of my slippers, a camera strap, a skein of yarn twice as big as her body, a Mario plush, and a dicebag. I'm guessing these would be dead animals if she were allowed out. Personally I prefer the random stuff, it's fun trying to figure out where she got them from.

Oh yeah, here's some pics!

That's actually really cool.  I hope it works well.  I know it's not a cure, but it's good that someone's thinking of quality instead of just quantity of life.

I have a number of tattooed dots on my front and back which were used for aiming my radiotherapy - but that method wouldn't really be convenient on a hairy animal!

I've had a rescued stray cat that we called Perdita, which is Latin for "lost one".  The Spanish Perdida is from the same word.

Bingo. "Lost one"

Named for a character in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.

Per was a rescue cat who had a rather rough time in the shelter. Now she follows me just about everywhere.

Aww, magnet cats. My mom has a cat like that (Hermione), but she's a magnet cat because she just spent an awful long time in the shelter. (Like, she was there longer than she should have been. The people at SPCA just thought she was too sweet to put down, thank goodness.) Sadly I don't have any pictures of Hermione because she's terrified of my phone. (Along with everything else, such as her shadow and bugs that crawl fast.)

Mine was in a no-kill shelter, but had a difficult time 1) because she enjoys being the only cat 2) when I met her she was sick 3) One volunteer in the shelter was a total dick to her (actually watched him hit her with a pair of work gloves when she was just snoozing). 4) She's declawed which tends to make cats a bit crazier than most. This led to her being very difficult to be around. she would lash out and bite a lot. But after the third item on that list, I decided to adopt her and I'm thrilled. I wound up with a total sweetheart who is just so weird. She licks shirts when she is happy.

And boy does he know it. The orange tabby is Percy, and the grey tabby is Yuki. Percy is still healing from his broken arm so he hasn't spent much time with his Yuki in a while. Also, they hated each other when they first met. It took forever just to have them in the same room peacefully. But now they're buddies &lt;3

Polonius died today. He was a rescue bunny of 13 years of age. We got him when he was 8, nobody wanted him, the mangy looking thing, and I figured we could give the old bastard a happy year until he would flop over from old age ... and then he trundled on for 5 years. He got to be, like 196 in human years.

And, yes, I name my bunnies after Shakespeare characters.

Sorry to hear that.  Know how that feels - kinda - at the moment as my Cat Garfield has been missing since Tuesday afternoon.

Hope he comes home, and have done all I can to advertise he's missing, but as time goes on I think it's less and less likely.
