Jazzy is a real film star and he sent me his autopaw – I am a very lucky stripy puss. And I have a tuna and ice cream party with WinnieKittie this afternoon.

Feeling Better

Posted in Uncategorized on June 22, 2009 by ollieandlottie

I have finished my antibiotics now – thank goodness, they tasted YUK – and I am feeling better, if a little tired. I am being good now and taking my thyroid pills and interferon (but only because daddy promised I could have it in tuna everyday).

I don’t like it when it’s hot, but daddy freezes those cool-box things and wraps them in a towel so I can sleep on something cool.

Haven’t had a chance to Twitter much because, not only have I been tired but daddy has been busy on the puter. Felicity and Sammy Twitter too now, and they are not very happy about the loss of Tweets either.

Daddy has almost completely flattend the shrubbery in the garden and has a large pile of branches to shred – I will have to supervise, I suppose!

Missed my party with WinnieKittie last week; got to ensure I don’t miss her this week. Lke to have a chat with GrrlySquirrel too – and all my other Tweety friends.

My duckie came last week, I’ve named him Duckie. he’s a bit naughty and hides sometimes. I like to cuddle him and lick him and do the rabbit feet thing (you cat’s will know what I mean).

I put another poem on Daisy and Oscars posting.

Pills, Pills and More Pills

Posted in Oliver Thinks with tags on June 16, 2009 by ollieandlottie

I don’t know – it’s pills with evrything at the moment. I have my thyroid pills twice a day and now I am on antibiotics twice a day, plus my interferon and two antiseptic mouthwashes (one in the morning and one at night).

I have been very naughty with my medicines and refused to eat them in my food so mummy and daddy are opening my mouth and shoving them down my throat. I have a great technique whereby, as they open my mouth, I lift my tongue up so the pill goes under my tongue. I then pretend to swallow, hold the pill for a while and then carefully drop it out.

My staff are very frustrated with me because they say I must have my tablets and potions to remain well and able to Twitter; but I hate pills, they taste horrid and when they are put in my food they make that taste horrible.

If I don’t take the tablets I will lose weight and become tired and the antibiotics won’t stop my infections which will make me ill; but as a cat I do not understand how important they are.

Blood Test Results

Posted in Oliver Thinks with tags on June 11, 2009 by ollieandlottie

Got my blood test results back my T4 which, apparently is a measure of how my thyroid is working is still slightly high but within reasonable limits so the tablets are working; but I have another infection and a whole new set of antibiotic tablets.

I usually have all my medication in my food but I was a naughty cat this morning and wouldn’t eat a thing so I missed all my medication including my interferon.

Daddy was not pleased because my staff were out all day and did not have time to cajole me. Daddy now says that all my tablets are going to be administered by him straight down my throat and tonight mummy held me whilst daddy opened my mouth and tossed tablets onto the back of my tongue before holding my mouth shut and tickling my throat until I swallowed them. I stayed still and didn’t wriggle as daddy had my head held firm and a finger jammed in my mouth.

Daddy says I MUST have my tablets and if I won’t eat them in my food he HAS to administer them like the vet does.

Still Not Well

I have a new friend on Twitter – MizzBassie. She’s ever so cute. I just had to show you one of her kitten photos. She has a very mischievious face. I bet she was naughty when she was a kitten – I should know, me and Lottie were very naughty. You can see her pictures at http://twitpic.com/6iz6y.

A Little Under the Weather

Posted in Oliver Thinks on June 5, 2009 by ollieandlottie

I have been a little under the weather since the weekend and daddy wasn’t sure if it was due to my medication or something else, so I had to go and see my Vet today. He took some of my precious blood and the result will be back on Monday – that’s to see how my thyroid is doing with my tablets. I also had picked up an infection – apparently the thyroid problem makes me a little susceptible to infections so I had an antibiotic injection. I won’t mention having my temperature taken (ouch).

I really didn’t want to go but daddy insisted and I suppose it is for the better. I just felt like sleeping in a corner each week. Even Twittering was a bit too much and I miss tweeting with grrlysquirrel, Petie and all my other global cat friends – and no party this week with Winniekittie.

Feeling under the weather

Posted in Oliver Thinks with tags , on June 3, 2009 by ollieandlottie

Don’t know if it’s the heat over the weekend but I am a bit under the weather this week.I have felt very tired and have been snoozing here, there and everywhere.

Daddy says it may be my thyroid medication and is going to phone my vet in the morning and see if I need a full blood screening again. Don’t fancy it because it means another needle but daddy thinks they may have to check my blood to see if my thyroid tablets are too strong. Having purred that, I must say, I have put on some weight and am eating three tins of delux luxury kitty food a day.

Mummy and daddy always worry about me and say that if I am not well it is important that I go to the vet as early as possible.

Felicity and Sammy have started twittering and have pinched the bid daddy puter so I am stuck on the laptop. Horrible keys and, with this new improved Windows Vista, Internet Explorer keeps dying on me.

All day alone

Posted in Oliver Thinks with tags , on May 31, 2009 by ollieandlottie

Mummy and daddy had to go out yesterday to see my daddy’s mummy and daddy. It was a very long way and they had to leave us all on our own all day.

We were not happy cats because they only left dry food, water and milk – no tuna or chicken & duck. I told daddy, when they got back, that it was not good enough but he said it would not be healthy to leave fresh food all day, especially when it was as hot as yesterday (80 degrees in London), because flies would get on it and leave germs which might make us ill.

I would have phoned for help but daddy has taken the PDSA and RSPCA numbers off my mobile phone. I have a new phone now and it has the Internet on it so I could Twitter all day, but the buttons are so small I can’t use them. I can only press the ‘receive call’ button.

Anyway – eventually – about 8pm – they arrive back. Mummy puts the kettle on whilst daddy gets our supper ready. Just to show daddy, I refused to eat my food with my medicine in; which makes daddy very mad, because I must have my medicine. Daddy says that if I don’t eat it in my food they will have to pick me up, open my mouth, and drop it down my throat.

Now I think us cats have rights too, and if we don’t want to take our medicine we should not have it forced down our throat.

Anyway I was very pleased to see them and sat on daddy’s lap and pounded mummy. They were too tired to let me twitter for long but we were all very sad to hear about Oscar and Grandma Cat. I get so upset when I hear of a little friend being parted from its parents.

It’s Sunday morning and another bright sunny day; daddy was up early and Sammy keeps pestering to go out. I was a good cat this morning and had all my medicine.
