Frootbat Friday!

So I went over to the Lap Lady yesterday and decided it was time for a talk. I opened the conversation with a loud MeeeerrOOOOW. Followed by a merrrr, repeated 5-6 times. This is what I do when we need to talk.

I told her to wake up and smell the cat nip, I'm NOT skinny. Sure, as compared to most other cats I'm thin but my breeder says I'm a great weight and I feel and act completely normally.

Still, she did not believe me and continued to poke at my disappearing front-butt.

I sighed, started purring and lead her over to the computer where I continually hit the 000000000000000 key while she was trying to log into blogger. This made her go look at pictures of me to help me with my posting. A few more meows and she was on the right track.

The evidence shows that I am the same body size and structure that I was in November. It was December-early March where I put on a few....ahem...Holiday pounds. Its true...I was the definition of "Baby Got Back" for a while. Really, it wasn't all that flattering to have such a thin front and and such a big "Look at Me Boo-tay".

Lets just say the Lap Lady now thinks I'm just fine but is still making me eat all of my stinky goodness. That's fine with me!

Terrorized Tuesday

Ugh, so she put me in the PTU and took me in the grey machine and we went to the VET!!! I yelled at her the entire time in the car to let her know that it was not cool! When we got to the office the Lap Lady let me out in the lobby because she wanted to pet me to let me know it was OK. It was NOT OK. Well, the women there all told me I was beautiful and that was very nice. Then the VET (not the usual VET but I've only met him 2 times anyway) came out and took us back to the exam room. After clinging to the PTU for dear life, they got me out. Here I started my purring routine.

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I think it worked because they didn't stick that thing up my butt OR poke me with anything! I guess I really made a good impression. Stacie (the vet tech) has a Devon Rex and a Cornish Rex and she just thought I was awesome! Her one kitty's name is Kona the Hut because she weighs 13 lbs! Imagine Daisy weighing that much!!

Dr. Dym felt me all over and said that I am a very healthy cat and I eat the best foods possible. He is a really well respected home-pathetic vet and he gave me a good looking at. The bad news is that I have immuno-suppressive gingivitis or something. Since that is the start of the digestive track (he said from the mouth to the butt!! He said a bad word!) that it makes sense that I might have irritable bowels (IBD). I didn't know bowels could be mad! It is either that or a food sensitivity. So I get to take these STINKY pills. They are made of things like bovine liver and duodenum and other stinky things. They're supposed to to be chewable but there was no way I was chewing them. The Lap Lady made me swallow them!!!! I then have to change me "protein source" from turkey to something like venison or duck or something but stay with Innova or go to Pet guard.

He talked to the Lap Lady for like 18 hours while I sniffed around the room and leapt on and off of the exam table. I kept purring the whole time. He talked a lot about foods and stuff and I just wanted to go home!!! He said she has to bring him a sample of my poo.....so I'm getting followed to the box every time I have to go.

So we'll see how it goes but not to worry, I don't have an eating disorder and the Lap Lady is not trying to starve me on purpose. Maybe I'm just really worried about Mao being out on the lam!!

Oh, and I weigh 8 1/4 lbs. My breeder says that is actually not bad for my build. She said I have more of a male OSH build as I'm really long and tall so that is an OK weight for me. The Lap Lady thinks I should be 9-10 lbs and that I do look thin as my spine is sticking up a little and she can see the points of my hips.

When we went out to the car the Tall Man was waiting for me! He was very nice and talked to me a lot. Then the Lap Lady dropped the Tall Man and me at home while she went riding. How nice of him since today is his birthday!

Uh-oh...

I tried to punish the Lap Lady for leaving me and not even sending Grandma over to visit but I just couldn't keep it up for too long. I had a good 5 minutes of snubbling and then I had to purr and rub and tell her how much I missed her.

Grandma came over yesterday and said I am looking pretty skinny. The Lap Lady agrees and thinks something might be wrong with me so she's calling the VET to make me an appointment. She used the very unofficial scale and I only weigh a half a pound more than Latte when I should weigh at least 2 pounds more than him. Plus (shh, I haven't told anyone else) someone (that would be me) had been yacking on the rug and its not hairball related. So she says I have to go have a physical and maybe a blood test. I plan on purring as loud as I can (as usual) so they just send me home really fast. So if you guys could spare a few purrs I'd really appreciate them.
