I have "posted" on several threads and when I come back they are not there. Sio, I have not had a headache for over a week now and I do have a lot of neck pain. Since they cut thru the support muscles of my neck, it is difficult to hold my head up all day long. That causes me to have some "tension" in my head but otherwise I am getting stronger every day! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396857 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:20:58 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 396857@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Before going to take a nap here's something to make you smile:</p> <p><a href="http://cats.about.com/b/2009/06/10/wordless-wednesday-bad-hair-day.htm?r=94" rel="nofollow">http://cats.about.com/b/2009/06/10/wordless-wednesday-bad-hair-day.htm?r=94</a></p> <p>click on the picture for the good hair day version... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396854 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:10:41 +0000 mollycat71 396854@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes, actually I haven't had a headache in over a week! I get some head pain from my muscles in my neck having been cut thru. Makes it tough to hold up my head since the big support muscles in my neck were cut thru. Reading the literature and books I have it takes about a year for those muscles to heal. It is also difficult since my first vertebrae is gone and half of my second one. Talked with one of my PT friends and she said she is surprised I can even move my neck at all. She said I should be thrilled about the pain cause that means I CAN MOVE it which she thought I wouldn't be able to at all! I guess that means I am lucky! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396853 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:06:57 +0000 Siobhan 396853@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Now Tansey's napping on the office chair beside me, but you can bet her ears are ready for any sign that I might go to the kitchen (lol).</p> <p>Went to a somewhat local outlet for a generic drug and OTC generic/store brand manufacturer and packaging company after work, and got a real bargain on my antihistamines and acid reducers :-) 100 allergy tabs for $2.50, and in the store, that would be a $12 bottle! I got twelve of 'em, my honey and I take eight a day between us. I can get store-brand Tums for 50 cents a bottle sometimes, if they're close to expiration. Big help in these tough economic times, ya know. :-)</p> <p>Mollycat, are you feeling better overall? Fewer headaches and vomiting sessions? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396851 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:00:50 +0000 GreatDane 396851@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I had never tried it before. Bobby doesn't like anything! I was at the grocery store the other day and out of pet food. I didn't have time to go to the pet store for Hill's, so I got a can to tide Miles over. Bobby won't mind skipping dinner at night if he doesn't like it (he'll eat dry instead), but Mi would have been mad. Anyway, I put a bit in Bob's bowl and he loved it! I won't be feeding it to him all the time, but once in a while for some variety. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396849 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:54:36 +0000 mollycat71 396849@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Bobby, my girls HATE that food! They would pack it all up and mail it to you if they had some! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396846 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:53:27 +0000 GreatDane 396846@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi Siobhan!<br /> I have discovered that Bobby likes Friskies Ocean fish wet food. He got some of that tonight to cheer him up from his vet visit! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396844 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:50:41 +0000 Siobhan 396844@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi peeps! Normally I'm an early bird, but I'm checking email from home this evening.</p> <p>Hope all are doing well. Miss Tansey hollered and hollered for her can of Fancy Feast tonight! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396840 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:47:38 +0000 GreatDane 396840@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yikes! The power went off at the gym around 5:45 - lots of people working out in the dark. I called EBL from my cell and she told me I should close if FPL couldn't get the power back soon. I told her two trainers were working out with clients but that they should be done by seven. Ran across the street and spoken with some of the FPL workers and they told me it should be back around seven. It didn't get back on and there was only me and one trainer left at the gym. Just as I was kicking him out and had posted a note that we were closing early, the power went back on. I told the trainer it was too bad power came on 2 minutes AFTER I left the gym! So I got to go home early!!! Only 45 minutes, but still! :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396833 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:25:25 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 396833@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Afternoon everyone, I am back with my computer. Somehow the boards within the tower needed to be reseated, guess my rambunctious ones knocked it or something. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396782 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:54:10 +0000 mollycat71 396782@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Bob better start eating yogurt too!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396765 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:33:17 +0000 GreatDane 396765@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, MCW! THey had to lay off the morning girl this week with only a couple of days' notice and replace her with an intern. I'm hoping the same won't happen to me. EBL told me it wouldn't, but it's so bad here right now they're struggling to stay in business.</p> <p>My little Bobby was 11.5 lbs today. That's his heaviest ever - I chose to think part of it was because he was wet ;-)<br /> The vet today was really good about examining Bobby, answering questions and talking about the seizures, too, eventhough that wasn't what we were there for and we didn't pay for an exam. When Mi went a bit over a month ago and we saw the other vet, he was out of there as soon as he was weighed and got his shots. No exam at all and we hadn't been there for almost a year! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396750 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:20:54 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 396750@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good boy Milo! Way to go with waiting on Bobby. Mia use to gobble up all the wet when I first got her. Now Sylvester goes to the bowl he wants and Mia goes to the other. When Sylvester is done, Mia goes to the second bowl. Mia doesn't seem to be eating as much as she was when I first got her and she seems to be maintaining a slim and healthy body. I need to schedule a vet check-up for both kitties. Hopefully do that next month if can swing it financially. We will see. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396742 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:02:21 +0000 GreatDane 396742@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, Linda. I thought it was pretty neat that he's doing that. I guess you CAN traing them (to a degree, of course!). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396741 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:02:07 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 396741@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sorry to hear things still aren't so good at the gym GD :o( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396740 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:01:13 +0000 GreatDane 396740@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Have a nice vacation, LK! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396739 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:00:24 +0000 GreatDane 396739@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ooooh, I'll take both the spaghetti and meatballs and the tortialla and refried beans :)</p> <p>Just got an email from my tennis league running friend. She asked me to help her out next week by going to a few clubs and help them out with the leagues. It'll be fun and I'll make some money!<br /> I also just picked up one day of dog-sitting - it all helps. The way it's going at the gym, I'll need to put together all the money I can! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396738 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:58:13 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 396738@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Have a good holiday Ladykat!</p> <p>Jean, you made me smile. Our Pickle surprised us one day by eating some left over tinned mandarin oranges...I didn't think cats were meant to like anything orangey! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396734 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:51:38 +0000 LadyKat of IA 396734@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just wanted to peek in before I leave for the day. If I get a chance to use one of the family's computers, I'll try to leave a quick message while I'm on vacation.<br /> Everyone have a good next week! *waves goodby* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396724 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:37:50 +0000 jeankit 396724@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>FOOD MUSINGS ADD ON: I had a Choco Siamese, Sushi, years ago who enjoyed mashed Cantaloupe and mashed Asparagus...that was way before the pet food industry added veggies etc. to their products.(Which my cats now definitely will not eat!) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396708 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:23:22 +0000 jeankit 396708@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was just reading the flavor of the day list from our local Custard Stand, no Pomegranite today...since I'm trying to watch my calories I'm opting for some frozen yogurt tonite instead. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396697 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:13:33 +0000 linda 396697@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>or here...in real life I have some blue corn tortilla chips and some refried beans...no fat...</p> <p>What a clever boy Milo is!

I just had a cantaloupe-flavored yogurt, but it wasn't enough :(</p> <p>Speaking of food, I have finally trained Milo a bit. At night when I feed them their wet food, Mi eats his in the bathroom and Bobby at their regular eating spot so Mi doesn't eat all Bobby's food. Well, Mi would eat his a fast as possible and then run over to Bobby's bowl (Bobby is slow, so he's still sniffing at this point) and Bobby would back off when Mi got close enough. Anyway, for a couple of weeks, I'd go grab Mi and carry him away while we wait for Bobby to finish. Bobby never eats all his food, so I would allow Mi to run over once Bobby finished. Now, every night when Mi's done with his food he starts running toward Bobby's food bowl and I tell him NO. He stops and waits and at the exact moment Bobby turns to leave his bowl, Mi zooms over there and finishes the food. I'm proud of him - he really wants that food, but he's being patient and waiting, despite himself :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396668 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:28:25 +0000 GreatDane 396668@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I love pomegranate juice, too. I drink Ocean Spray's Diet Cranberry-Pomegranate - very good, and only 5 calories per serving.</p> <p>He did look nice before he peed all over himself and his carrier. He'll look nice again when I get home, I'm sure - he was already busy cleaning himself. I took that as a sign he was feeling alright! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396663 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:25:26 +0000 WillowandWindismom 396663@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, a sister - well, now that would be more like it! :-)</p> <p>I like pomegranate juice - I have to try that. Of course, that stuff is so stinkin' expensive! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396648 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:11:13 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 396648@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor Bobby. I bet he sure looks spiffy all cleaned up and claws clipped. Hopefully he is doing well. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17933/page/3#post-396634 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:54:03 +0000 GreatDane 396634@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks for all the thoughts and hugs! Driving to work, I encountered an enormous motorcade for a funeral which brought tears to my eyes :(</p> <p>WWM, you can be my big sister! :)</p> <p>I'm working and bored! There is one guy here working out and he's on his way out. When I got here, the power had been out for 2 hrs and had just gotten back on. We ended up having a problem with the a/c after that, so for 45 minutes, it was 82 degrees in here. Yuck! I figured out how to reset the a/c and it's finally working now.</p> <p>I can't wait to go home to Bobby today. I hope he's feeling alright! </p>
