Even from behind her she gets me......

There I was sat on thee back of mum's chair. Mum was visiting some of our friends and I was keeping one eye on her and also enjoying a sun puddle through the window.(We are not having many lately so grab while you can I say )Mum saw that my reflection was perfect in her laptop screen, as she has got some good pictures like this before she reached down for her camera which was luckily nearby and this is what she got.

Mum thinks they are cute and hey who am I to deny her. Te he he.

Updates now for everyone. Liam is doing ok as they have blitzed the infection with lots of IV antibiotics and he is at home recovering.

Lilli's mouth is almost healed with just a little mark for her to show her war wound. MOl

Tristan is still in a lot of pain after his surgery and he says he does not know how a couple of fingers can cause so much. dad takes him back tomorrow for his follow up appointment, so they can check how it is going and if the wires need to stay in for a lot longer or less.

Once again thank you so much for all your purrs and grrss you are all stars..

Have a great Sunday everyone... Hugs J xx

Oh my cat......

My friends do you see this smile.. Do you see the lovely rose
Well mum says I deserve to be in a beautiful rose..

Every friend do I have news for you.. This morning I went into the vet hospital for a few hours.. I can tell you I was so worried when I saw that place and even more so when I saw the cage that was my bed for four days recently. Mum and dad said not to worry because it would not be for long but how do you not worry... They shaved my neck.. Stuck that big needle in and stole my bloods. Then they took my blood pressure. Mum and dad were at home and waiting for the results.. well the vet man rang them on the phone and this is what he said....
The blood pressure was in normal limits, one of the levels was slightly raised but not worryingly so. two others were within limits and one had actually fallen. I had even put on 2 ounces in weight... The vet said he was really really pleased with me and he and mum and dad were doing the right thing in medication and care and had the right balance. Our lovely vet said he was going to go out on a limb and say he would let me go three months without blood tests.. I cant tell you how pleased mum and dad are at this news.... he said we must not let our guard down and to keep to all the medication and renal diet. We are to call him straight away if there is any change at all but to say he did not think I would make Christmas hey the news today is just fabulous.. Mum and dad wanted to jump up and down..... In fact they did jump up and down... There is a little life left in me yet....

Mum says red roses are for love and I am surrounded by love so the picture is so appropriate...

Mum will update on our invalids soon.. Thank you all my friends so much for all the purrs, woofs and love.... love and hugs GJ xxx

Hoping for good results tomorrow....

Hello everyone, I am just popping on for a little moral support as tomorrow I will be At the vet for most of the day. Mum and dad are in trepidation that it will stress me a lot and are so praying that the results are good. Purrs please my friends... Hugs GJ xx

What a few days........

Well my friends where do I start. My last post said have a good weekend but I can tell you ours went rather differently. On Saturday we heard that Liam ( you remember our nephew bean who had the bad accident) was in hospital in London, he had gone to London for the weekend with his girlfriend and had become very unwell. Liam had picked up some sort of infection and because he lost his spleen in the accident he cant fight infections. Liam was admitted which resulted in his mum and dad haring down to London quick smart. Liam was really ill but the doctors did well and he is now recovering thankfully.
Next thing to happen was our bean Tristan had an accident at work where a very large gate fell onto his hand crushing it. Tristan went into shock and went down like a stone striking his head on the way down. Colleagues got him up only for him to go down again, this time hitting a metal table and breaking his nose. Tristan's blood pressure plummeted with shock and he began fitting, he was taken to hospital and after x rays had to go to a different hospital as he had shattered his fingers. Today dad took him back and he had surgery on his hand were they put wires in his fingers and put it in a cast. Next week he must go back for his nose resetting.
Mum and dad had only been at home half an hour after taking Tristan home from hospital yesterday when mum had to go back round to his house because Lilli bean had fallen and hurt her face and lip. Mum put on sterri strips as it would be less traumatic than stitches. Mum said sheesh all sit on the sofa and don't move lol as we don't want any more mishaps.
So all in all it has been a very full on few days and that's why we have not been here. On Friday I go to the vet for all my tests and I really hope it wont be another sheesh...
Sorry for the long winded post but mum was just unloading it all out of her head and on to here.. Take care all.. Love GJ xxx

Happy Weekend Everyone.......

Just to say have a great weekend everyone ...

Love and hugs to all... GJ xxxx

Mum was bad and forgot the mystery day too...

Mum completely forgot about the mystery day today and it wasn't until we saw all the other posts that she remembered. Her excuse... she has a lot on her mind.. Sheesh that's no excuse but we will will visit as many others playing along as we can and see whats happening.... Love and hugs GJ xx

Feeling old....

Hello everyone.. Its really cold here at the minute and this is what I have been doing a lot of.. I hope you all stay warm and snug...

On Saturday mum and dad went to a christening of mum's great great niece Lexi...

yes I did say great great niece.. Mum says this does make her feel old because she remembers well the christening of her nephew..

Left to right nephew Howard, mum, great nephew Stefan and in the middle great great niece Lexi.. Mum said that seeing all the generations made her feel a zillian years old MOL...

Thank you all for the lovely comments yesterday, we so appreciate your caring. I am a big man cat for sure and my vet calls me his lovely big cuddly bear.I am though very thin under all the fur and did lose a lot of weight. Mum and dad are not worrying too much about that because so long as I hold my own and don't lose more it wont be so bad. the problems arose when I didn't eat for so long and lost so much weight. My body was using its own fat and that was why my kidneys failed as they could not cope with this and were poisoning my body, so I just have to keep eating and hold my weight for as long as possible..

Love and hugs to all GJ xxxxxx

There is a graphic on my sidebar that if you click takes you to the auction blog for my pals Truffle and Brulee.. Take a look see as there are many nice things there..

My mum and me....

Mum said to dad that she had no new pictures of me with her. dad said OK lets remedy that... This is the result.. My mum and me...




OK dad that's enough now...
It helped yesterday and today taking the pill later,in that I was not sick but I may have to get extra as my eating is not as good as it was. Mum and dad get slightly paranoid because the vet said I will start to drop off with my eating when my kidneys are not playing ball. I am though not hiding and am bright enough in myself so hopefully that is not happening. I go back nest week for half a day and they will do scans. bloods and blood pressure to check me out because. as the vet says we don't want anything to creep up on us unawares..

After the storm.....

Well there is always an after the storm. My tablet had not been down long enough and I didn't eat, I got another later in the day and that night I ate. Then yesterday the same thing, I was sick and didnt eat, later in the day I had another pill and last night I ate. Today dad is waiting until later in the day to give the pill. I get my heart and kidney meds early and then usually the appetite pill about an hour later. I do though seem to eat better either very late in the day or in the night so from now we will try the pill a little later to allow me to settle more first.
But after the whole pill episode when I have sulked a little I go for some love and Chin skritches.....
Ok dad I forgive you......
Here we go.....


Mum just loves my face....

So there is always good after the storm...

Take care my friends and thank you all for your continued support... Love you all... GJ xxx

Grumpy Sunday.....

I am not a happy kitty today.. I had the yucky meds that I get every day and usually I am fine but sometimes like today when I had my appetite pill I threw up straight after. That upsets me, it upsets, mum and it upsets dad. Result... All of us upset... Can you see my face in the grumpy sad photo's taken just a few minutes after. The worst thing is that if I don't eat today then I have to get another tablet because it means the fist one didn't stay inside long enough to work. Sheesh a man cat cant win.......
I hope you all have a good Sunday..

Love and hugs GJ xxx

Hello my friends..

Checking in to say hello and mum is getting around to my friends in next couple days... Love to you all... GJ xxx

A morning ritual........

Hello everyone.. I thought I would show you what I have to endure every morning.. Sheesh it is just not good but mum and dad say I have to have these meds to keep me going So I suppose I have to... They have found out that it seems less stressful if just dad gives me them as I seem calmer that if mum is holding me.I just sit there close to dad. But no matter how secretive they are and that they don't speak a word, whenever dad goes to mix them I quickly get behind the sofa. Dad just waits and when I walk out he scoops me up..

Ready for the off....

Yuk....

Clean up the dribbles.....

Chin skritches between...

Sweet talk and hugs...

I usually sit and sulk for a little while just so they know .... I am though really good and don't bite and scratch... The worst part is that they have found that it is better to give my appetite pill separate and a little later so I get that one shoved in straight as it is about an hour later.. Its just so not fair... But hey.... It is keeping me going so I should not grumble....

Mum has two more late shifts with on call then has booked a few off..So see you all soon....

Much love and hugs..... GJ xxxx

Checking in .......

Hello everyone, mum has a lot going on just now and is not keeping up as she would like but we wanted to check in and let you all know that at the moment I am holding my own and we have a good supply of the tablets so if I need a little extra boost I can get a top up.. I am making mum and dad happy because I am holding my own and that is good..... See you all soon and apologies for not visiting but we will catch up soon... With love GJ xxx

Out of office for a couple days....

Hello everyone.Mum is on silly early shift for a couple days and also has some appointments so we will see you in a couple days..
Mum loves this picture because she thinks I look quite well. I am doing OK but the appetite is needing more of a boost last couple days. More tablets needed and hopefully that will boost it... See you soon... Love and hugs GJ xxx

Hello to 2012 and a little bean's celebration.....

Hello everyone.. hope you all had a great New Year's eve and that the new year will bring many good things to all my friends... Mum was on nights all during the new year and had a very busy new years eve with so many mixed emotions. From seeing a face full of smiles because a friendly face appeared just when it was needed.A laughing embarrassed face because someone had fallen after a small drinky to bring in the new year. So many calls that night but one that will stick in the mind.. Everyone outside and around celebrating the new Year and fireworks popping all around, but a very different one for one elderly couple couple with mum holding the hand of a very ill man and his very afraid wife while waiting for the ambulance that mum had just called. Theirs was going to be a new year with a very unwelcome start.. But they were both saying thank you for this small comfort.. A sobering thought.. we must so count our blessings.

Today is our Nicholas bean's 2nd birthday..
Happy Birthday great grandson bean..

Mum and dad couldn't get to see him today because of the silly thing called work but he got a nice package in the post from them and we send our love..

Sending love out to you all... Hugs GJ xxx
