So many news this week…

Big Brother, Satchie

First, we learned I need surgery for my fractured canine

Then there was the news about Zoe.  I’m still heartbroken and it’ll take me a while to get over it.

Then I found out that the kid is not a boy BUT A GIRL! So I don’t have a little brother but a little sister. Well, that shouldn’t change things that much but I have to say I am very much warming up to the idea of a little brat sister running around.

I think I’m just gonna have to take another nap just to digest all the news.

ah yes, naps make everything look better. Have you met my buddy Frankie Bear?

And speaking of the kid, she came for a visit last night. It didn’t go too bad.

Keeping an eye on her comings and goings. She still runs around saying “I’m a wace car, I’m a wace car”

uh-oh she’s getting close…

She’s IN MY WINDOW. OK, fine. I can share the window. But she better not think about climbing to MY chair

Hey Satchie. See how cool I am?

Pheeew, watching out for a kitten is tiring. Now that she’s gone back to her place, I can enjoy my kickeroo again

Brossard, Hôpital Vétérinaire Rive-Sud, Kitten, Panleukopenia, Zoé

I write this post with a heavy heart.  I can’t really type much so I am just going to paste the email message here.

HEARTBREAKING UPDATE: I received the phone call I did not want to get and this is difficult for me to write… I am saddened to report that Zoé did not survive her ordeal and passed away on June 26th 2012 at the Hôpital Vétérinaire Rive-Sud in Brossard, Quebec. Though the adorable feline led a courageous fight against her sickness, her condition took a turn for the worse and the medical team advised Chantal, her human adoptive mother, that it was time to say good-bye. .. I’m so sorry to have to bring these sad news to all of you who have been so encouraging to Zoé and Chantal. We have been moved by your kind words and prayers. Chantal’s devotion to her kitten is a touching lesson of true compassion and generosity. Rest assured that everything was done to save the little feline. RIP Zoé, you are a true little champion… Please do not forget about Chantal. A fundraiser has been set up to help Chantal, a women of very modest means, pay for medical bills that have reached a staggering $4500. Anything helps. Please give her a hand…

I’m sorry, little Zoé.  It saddens me that you didn’t get to enjoy a long life with your loving human mom.  I hope you are having fun now, chasing mice on a beautiful meadow on the other side of the rainbow brigde with lots of friends and more importantly, without pain.

Please donate if you can.

Well friends, I have good news and bad news.

It all started as usual. My human got the carrier out and I sighed and braced myself.

My human called a cab and off we went. The waiting area was full of doggies and their strange (to me) scent made me even more apprehensive. On top of everything, my silly human got confused and got it in her mind that our appointment was at 1pm when it was at 1:30. We were told they were running a bit behind and they could not take us early so we had to wait. Have you noticed how time slows down and almost gets to a stop when you’re waiting? Yeah, that.

However, I have to say my human was very comforting at all times so I was able to relax a little, not without letting them know first this was difficult time for me. I am not very chatty with strangers. But today, they heard my voice nice and clear.

Waiting…..

Bringing you up to speed

Health, Heat wave, Vet, Weather

So, I miss you guys.

I haven’t been doing much due to the long heat wave that is finally ending today.  It was blistering hot and we didn’t have AC.

That’s not me but that’s pretty much how I felt

Can we help Zoé?

Cat, Fundraiser, Kitten, Panleukopenia, Zoé

Hello friends of the furry and non-furry kind.

I’m sorry I’ve been absent from the blogosphere lately.  If you follow the kid, you already know our human has been very busy and needed to borrow the laptop all the time.  Besides, it’s been so hot in our neck of the woods, it was getting very uncomfortable.  I could never move until the sun was down and then only to drink water and little bit of food.  Does it happen to you that when it gets too hot you lose your appetite?  I does to me.  All I want to do is drink water.

Anyway.  I want to ask you for your help.  Remember the Cats of Parliament Hill?

Well, Danny Taurozzi, one of the caregivers of the cat sanctuary, brought the case of Zoé to our attention.

Doesn’t it break your heart?

Zoé is a 3 month old kitten from the Montreal area who has been diagnosed with panleukopenia and is presently in intensive care at the Hôpital Vétérinaire Rive-Sud.

As you can imagine, the costs of her treatment are quite high and her human can’t afford it all.  So Danny decide to start a fundraiser.  Here’s the fundraiser’s page.

You can also find all the updates on Zoé’s brave fight for life at the The Cats of Parliament Hill Facebook page.

If you have some extra change lying around, perhaps you could help Zoé?

Glad to see my human is so well taken care of! Meow

Summer Solstice Musings

Greetings from Montreal (sorry, le Clown and Ringmistress, unfortunately, I’m limited as how much free time I have. Perhaps a quick coffee tomorrow?)

This is a flash roadtrip. N, N’s boyfriend and I are here for a friendly Balboa competition/dance. I still don’t know if I am competing cause it is a Pro/Am format. Will keep you posted.

In the mean time, let me introduce you to my hosts.  They graciously agreed to pose for me.

Can you help?
My human can’t adopt any more kittens (besides we’re far away from Greece) but she donated. They could use more donations for the food and the medical treatments and the surgeries. Please help?

on the road with Animalcouriers

Cordelia from Nine Lives Greece has written to ask us for help in spreading the word, to see if anyone can offer a loving, responsible permanent homes for any of their cats. She says:

“We are absolutely overwhelmed with endless kittens, many of which have problems with their eyes or other issues, that are being found in rubbish bins, abandoned at the places where we feed cats, abandoned at the vets and pet-shops, left at the side of the road etc, and also just countless poor adult cats that are being ditched by their owners, particularly now with the excuse of the financial crisis.

We would be incredibly grateful if you could persuade your friends or contacts to ‘rescue a victim of the Greek crisis’ and reach out to help some of these cats (the ones pictured here are just a few, we don’t want to overwhelm you with all of…

Feeling better, Laptop

Hello friends!

I’m back.  I actually got much better the day after my last post (thanks again for your kind comments, purrs and hugs) but then my human got very busy with “work” (whatever that is) and was using the laptop all the time.  She really needs to get her own laptop.  I’m nice and all but a cat’s got to do what a cat’s what to do and this “work” business is interfering with my blogging.

I’m sorry I haven’t been able to read and comment on your blogs.  I’ll try and catch up as soon as possible.

On top of everything, my human is going to Montreal for the weekend.  Lots of Jazz involved so that’s OK.  I hope she brings me new music for my collection.  But that means she’ll take the laptop with her so I’ll go on radio silence again until Monday.  She did ask nicely and promised me a nice salmon steak when she comes back so all is good.

In the mean time, I’ll play with Spartacat and Mr Monkey.  My pal That Fred Guy is gonna be taking care of me and I might even see the kid… We’ll see

In the mean time, I’ll leave you with some pics of me so you can see how well your good vibes worked

Can anyone help, please? Pretty please?

Hi…

My name is Traveller    and I’m here on behalf of my three kids. I too need a home, I won’t lie, but I’m more concerned about the welfare of my babies so please, if you can, hear me out.

In case you’re wondering, I’m named after the Civil War General Robert E. Lee’s famous  horse Traveller one, because I’m also a deep shade of gray but I too have done an awful lot of traveling in my 11 months of existence.

You’re probably shocked I’m that young and already have 3 kids, well that’s what happens when you’re not spayed, abandoned and then end up at the wrong party. I didn’t know any better, not that that’s an excuse mind you – I take full responsibility for my behavior and don’t mind telling you how motherhood has changed me.

I’m not ashamed at being a single mother, God knows…

Feeling better today

Thank you SO much for all your comments and best wishes.  I’m sorry I haven’t replied to each individual comment on yesterday’s post but I did read them all and they made me very happy.  I’ll try and reply next week when I’m feeling better.

I’m doing better today.

Since I was able to keep the milk in, I figured I’d ask my human for some solid food and managed to convince her to do so.

She watched carefully while I ate a little (she didn’t let me eat too much) and then gave me some cuddles. After a while, I ate a little bit more and then I wanted to play.

We played my favourite game (hide and seek) about about 15 minutes. I wanted to keep going but my human said it was better to have some rest to let my tummy settle.

I woke up at 4:30 am and wanted to play some more but my human wasn’t too happy with that so I went back to sleep. I’ve been taking it easy today. Besides, it’s too hot to do anything, anyway.

My human says she’s calling the vet tomorrow to try and get my an earlier appointment.

In the mean time, I’m enjoying the extra attention from my human mom, my human sister and my human step-dad. And even from that brat, the kid
