surgery

Waify is going into surgery in an hour.

Everyone please pray for waify.

-dad

PS: seriously, i ask for your prayers for waify.

P.P.S.:

dear waify

where's waify?

  Dad took waify out in the carrier today, but he didn't take me.  hmmph!  sometimes i wish i was a dog.

but when dad came back, he didn't have waify with him.  where's waify?  I checked around the house just to make sure she didn't play a sneaky trick on me (she's older and much smarter than me), but i couldn't find her anywhere.  not even in the dresser drawer.  where's waify?!?

dad put some wet food down for me in the kitchen.  it smelled good (as always), but i wasn't hungry.  where's waify?!?!

dad sat down at the dining table and rubbed his eyes.  i don't think he heard my meows or saw my big eyes (see pic above) because he didn't cave-in and do the "awwww"-petting like usual.  i jumped up on his lap.  he finally paid attention to me (probably because i keep my claws RAZOR sharp)... but he only petted me twice before returning to his eye rubbing.  he must be real sleepy.

I miss my sister.  I hope she is okay.

my waify

things do not look good.  waify's symptoms and an ultrasound test strongly suggest that she has cancer.  we are waiting for the results of a cytology test to see exactly what type of cancer it is.

waify has lost a lot of weight.  she drinks water every once in a while, but she has not eaten very much at all in the past several days.  she's been very lethargic and tends to hide.  I have been monitoring her very closely and try to comfort her as much as i can.  i have prayed more in the past few days than i have in years.

waify is the sweetest, kindest, gentlest soul i've ever known.  i wish this wasn't happening to her.

waify's in the hospital

  my sister Waify is in the hospital.  Her blood test came back negative for... everything (including kidney problems, so we know it's not the recalled food), but she still wasn't eating.  And she still kept hiding under the bed, behind the TV, and inside the dresser drawers, which was MY favorite hiding spot.  She wouldn't play with me even when i tried to lure her into a game of cat and cat... er, i mean tag.  So something is definitely wrong, but neither the doctor nor our dad knows what the problem is.  Waify is staying overnight at the hospital until tomorrow when they do an ultrasound test.  Doc McB says Waify's belly felt kinda tense/stiff, so there might be something going on in there.

I just hope waify is okay.

everyone say a prayer for my sister.

sick waify

Waify is sick :(

I pray to god it's not related to the cat food recall.  When the news first came out about the nationwide recall, I breathed a sigh of relief when I learned that the foods we'd been eating were not on the lengthy list of brands.  So I thought we were safe. But a few days ago Hill made a late announcement that one of their lines of cat food, Science Diet, is now being recalled.  Waify has been eating one of Hill's other lines of food, Prescription m/d canned.  Prescription m/d, itself, is not recalled (yet), but I am worried Hills will make another new announcement.

I haven't felt this scared about anything in a long time.

Mama cat adopts Rottweiler puppy

6-day-old canine at animal shelter was rejected by its mother

The Associated Press

Updated: 10:25 a.m. PT Feb 15, 2007

MERIDEN, Conn. - Who says cats and dogs don’t get along?

Workers at the Meriden Humane Society are marveling at a short-haired mother cat that has adopted a 6-day-old Rottweiler puppy that was rejected by its mother.

The tiny pup, named Charlie by Humane Society volunteers, nurses alongside a jumble of black and gray kittens recently born to Satin, who was taken to the shelter by an owner unable to care for her.

Charlie’s mother was found by the side of the road in Meriden a couple of months ago. She gave birth to two puppies, but one was stillborn. As sometimes happens with a stillborn in the litter, the mother refused to accept Charlie.

Volunteers bottle-fed him every two hours, but the effort was exhausting for them and insufficient for the puppy, volunteer Chris Chorney said.

Research indicated that a suitable substitute could be Satin, who had given birth to four kittens that have quickly warmed to Charlie.

“The kittens scrum up with him and the kittens treat him like one of their own,” Chorney said. “There’s a certain social benefit of small animals being with each other.”

Such relationships are not all that unusual in certain circumstances, said Deirdre Chiaramonte, a veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center, a specialty teaching hospital in New York.

The cozy arrangement between Charlie, Satin and the kittens will likely change as the pup grows. Full-grown male Rottweilers commonly weigh 100 pounds.

Volunteers are hoping that dog owners will volunteer their puppies to be Charlie’s playmates.

“Dogs need to be with a litter of puppies, to learn to play with other dogs,” Chorney said. “He has to learn to be a well-socialized dog.”
