I've gone black for Black Cat Appreciation Day! Mom did some touching up and this is what I would look like as a fluffy black Ragdoll cat!
There's a great article on the Animal Planet website about Black Cat Appreciation Day HERE.

She went downhill fast and today they took her to the vet. It became obvious that she wasn't going to rally, and they made that incredibly painful decision to help her lovingly and gently to the Rainbow Bridge.

First, for all the wonderful people and pets who've been tweeting, Facebooking, posting and emailing, wishing me well - It worked! You guys really pull out the stops when good vibes and encouragement are needed, and Mom and I really appreciate it.

Mom got a subcutaneous fluids kit for me from the vet, since I've practically stopped drinking water over the last week - which is one of my favorite things - and I'm very dehydrated. As you may know, I won't go to the vet, or let a vet come here. Basically I refuse contact with vets unless I'm knocked out - which they have to do by putting my whole carrier in a chamber, and which is very Cokie the Cat: Hollywood Insiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14974433453902019776noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801274086334030050.post-43084812774621370302012-07-26T05:04:00.000-07:002012-07-26T05:06:43.383-07:00Thankful Thursday Blog Hop
Again, I find myself feeling so very grateful to have such a wonderful vet. She loves me and understands me, even though I won't let her within 30 feet of me. She sent me this on Facebook yesterday (yeah, me & my vet are FB friends), and said it made her think of me. =^..^=

That's right. I'm 18. I have spinal damage. Some days are better (or worse) than others. Some people actually give Mom 'the look' when she tells them I wear pants.. Like they think - get this - she should 'put me down!' I'm not even kidding. =^..^=

I'm thankful for the ridiculously simple things that make us happy every day!
Tell me those didn't make you smile. : )
Maybe next week I'll get mom to show me running up and down my stairs.
Probably not as fun to watch, but super awesome for an old cat like me...
