Yoda, Card, Toys, Meals, Tea and Lily Bit AKA THE QUEEN

 Couple of post back

I told you all about 

Yoda.

If you missed that, you can

read about it here...

Post: Edit

 Here is an update to 

Yoda's story. 

Today at True Rescue

animal shelter while

planning a special

event in honor of Yoda

(more on that to come later), I received Yoda's

autopsy report.

Yoda was seven months

old and

died on Jan. 7

from cardiac arrest

after undergoing neutering

surgery.

The report revealed Yoda

suffered from

feline cardiomyopathy.

It is a genetic

predisposition that

causes impairment

of the muscles around

the heart and their

ability to pump blood effectively.

A check of the anesthesia

administered

during the process

showed no issues

regarding the types or dosage.

You've all been so kind

and caring and I

knew you would

want to know.

Some cats live with

the disorder for several

years. In more severe cases, the prognosis is poor.

Another inquiry into

why a heart test administered

before the surgery

failed to detect the disorder

has also been ordered.

Will this bring some

closure? I don't know.

I only pray he did not suffer.

It's amazing the impact this

little guy made on so many.

Earlier in the week I

sent Mike a card.

Mike posted it on FB with

this comment.

A beautiful card and 

super sweet note from 

Pam Montgomery Jackson,

 featuring her original

 and incredible artwork, 

arrived today. This will 

be framed.
So many of you have 

been so kind as we grieve

 Yoda’s passing. I can’t 

thank you all enough.

Moving on to my fur babes, 

or at least one, Lily. This is what 

I put on FB Friday morning~

When you buy cats toys

that charge USB

but have an on and

off switch.....be sure at

night to turn the thing

off. 3:45 this morning

Lily decided she wanted

to play. Course I laid

in bed and laughed

about it until I realized

that she was not going

to stop chasing it.

Did I mention that if rolls

on its own by

her movement and it

lights up as she chases it?

Lily really likes the balls.

neither one of the girls care

anything for this~

I have found that it's a tosh up

when purchasing toys for

the girls.

Remember the floppy fish,

yeah, they did not like that

either.

What about your kitties?

Do they like toys?

Do you have to play with

them or will they

play on their own?

Lily likes me to play with her,

Misty likes to play

alone.

One toy that Lily really

loves is a

Cat Dancer.

My friend Theresa got her

one when I got her and

she loves it. It is also one

of the cheapest ones.

I had issues finding it in

the stores, cause I never

thought about it till I was out

shopping and never thought to

look at Wally World website.....DUH,

so, I started making

them for her and friends

cats. I had a slinky that got

stretched out, great thick

wire, I cut it to the right size,

and then all you do is

cut a couple

pieces of cardboard

and slip onto

the bottom of the wire.

I bend the

wire up tight and stick the end

back in the cardboard again.

When it wears out, I make

another.

Back around the holidays,

I took to drinking tea again,

and not my water.

Not just tea, sweet tea.

I put on five pounds over

night (seemed like it anyway).

I still have not been able

to let go of the tea this

time, but I am backing off

my sugar in it.

But now I have to work

on getting my water in.

Cooking has also

become an issue,

I tend to still cook for a

family, thinking I will

freeze the rest, but then they

end up being science

experiments

and get thrown out.

With that,

I stopped cooking, I

had a salad

for two nights for

dinner.

Friday night, I had

a baked potato.

The thing is, I get full

on this so I need to

stop with that. I did make

a ground beef, potatoes,

onions, and Rotel in

my mini crockpot. Had

two meals from it and

was tired of it, at that point

I froze two small bags for

another time.

I have also been drinking

herbal tea, Turmeric, peach

and ginger.

Turmeric is supposed

to be good for inflammation in

the body. I can't tell you if it

helps or not cause Fibromyalgia is

a hard illness to keep tabs on.

With Fibro, you might hurt all

over, but it's what I call my

everyday pain, the pain I can

deal with. But at the same time

have a pain that is horrible in

a part of your body. That pain

that is horrible could hurt in

one spot for a day, a week,

a month etc. But then all

of a sudden it could be gone

or moved. So, is the Termeric

helping, can't tell but I

love the taste so I am drinking

it daily.

The other day I went

looking for Lily Bit AKA

THE QUEEN

and could not find her

in the usual spots.

I don't panic per say, unless

at some point I had

went outside. Now, when the

doors are open, I am very

CAREFUL to watch but

when I can't find her,

I start wondering if I

missed her.

Would Lily run away from

home,

HELL YES.

She is very curious.

Misty, NO, she is a mommies

girl.

Anyway, I had stepped out

on the front porch to

spray paint something so

when I could not locate her,

I started thinking back.

I did find her though, she

was curled up in the

cave like thing on the

cat tree.

My mom got her this tree in

Dec. 2018 for Christmas and she

has never, to my knowledge

curled up in there to sleep.

After I found her a few mins

later she came out and

we curled up on the couch.

It was QUEEN loving time.

She loves behind the ears,

under the mouth on the neck

and under the eyes

on those bones.

Sorry for the blurred pic but

I find it hard to rub with one

hand and snap a pic

with the other...

but look at that look.

She gets all glassy eyed

when she is into the

RUBS.

Guessing if I had someone

to rub my head, I might

get glassy eyed also!

haha...

What about you, do you love

a good head rub or

maybe and amazing

back rub?
