What company?

My person was getting our extra bed ready, so I helped her by pouncing on the sheets and digging in them. Then I settled in on the pillow. I took a bath. I even got a little bit under the covers. I was glad to have a new spot all set up for me. Then she said we are having overnight guests. And that one of them has four legs and black fur.

So very sleepy

After a busy day of playing String, scratching my person while she sat at her computer, and climbing up the window screen, I was tired. I went to bed early. I have been sleeping on my person's pillow a lot lately. I don't like to share it with her though. I like to push her off, by sleeping on her face or touching her eye while she sleeps. Then she moves and I get it all to myself. See?

My Conditions, Part 2

I had to take a medicine for my bladder problems. It had some side effects. Specifically, poop would just come out of me. I left little blobs of it around. My person said it was like living with a rabbit. It also stuck to my fur. She kept sneaking up behind me with baby wipes, which I did not like one bit.

Once that cleared up, I started to get sick. I threw up a lot. My person took me to the emergency vet. I had to have a lot of tests, including one where they shaved my belly. I hate the vet's office. My person told the staff that I am not cooperative. They did not believe her. They tried to take my blood. They had to bring me back to her. My fur was a mess, and the staff's hair was a mess. A big blob of my fur was stuck to her head. I got a note in my file about that one. Heh.

I might have a pancreas problem. But I might not. No one really knows. My person said that tests show my organs are in slightly unusual places.

I took some medicine for a few days and now I feel better. Here I am licking my belly after my test. My person says I have a little pink piglet belly.

My Conditions, Part 1

Well, things were going great until a few weeks ago. I was on my annual Spring Break when one day I started having trouble at my litter box. I was all upset. The nice lady rushed me to the emergency vet. The people there did a bunch of tests, which I hated. I had to stay in the hospital for almost three days. The doctor told the nice lady that I had a "urinary obstruction" and I had to have procedures and a catheter and an IV. I even had to wear a cone. I hated all that too. Then I got to come home. Now I eat special food to prevent "crystals."

My person came to get me and now I'm back in New Jersey. She said it's very important that I stay hydrated now, due to my condition. She bought me this special fountain. It's OK, but I still prefer the sink.

Options

Now that I'm on Spring Break, I have several beds to choose from.

Not quite...
The first bed is comfy, but I am not really allowed on it. My fur makes its owner sneeze.

Almost...
This is the bed my person uses. See how plush the pillows are? I like it when she is there.

Just right...
This is my new favorite. It is a red cushion that the nice lady puts in the hallway. I like to sleep and lounge on it. I can keep an eye on everything while I relax. She said it's the Dog Bed. I say, It's the Cat Bed now!

O'Milo

I'm on my annual Spring Break in Greensburg. I am also ready for St. Patrick's Day. The nice lady made me a green and white bandana. Maybe to celebrate I will chew on her shamrock plant.

A Big Help

When the clothes are fresh from the dryer, I help keep them warm:

I also make sure the ironing board is sturdy. My fur sticks to it.

My person says sometimes the clothes look worse after I help. I disagree.
