Okay Really - KP Here Again

Ever think you're surrounded by idiots? Yeah sometimes I feel the same way! So after allllllllll this time, these dorks taking care of me FINALLY figured out that I'm a GIRL! And to add insult to injury, let me tell you how they managed to find out - they shaved my butt hair! Yep that's right ladies and gentlemen, they subjected me to the humiliation of having my butt hairs trimmed so that I wouldn't be so messy.

Oh.My.Gosh.

So then the search went on for a new name. And nothing made these guys happy. See my crazy foster mom likes to shorten my name to KP. And nothing anyone else came up with worked - Queen Purrcival - QP, nope she didn't like it. Princess Purrcival - as if after having my butt shaved I'm going to put up with being called PP. I will eat her. Lady Purrcival.... cute, but LP? Okay so finally..... crazy foster mom (I'm calling her CFM from here on out just to get back at her) comes up with Kween Purrcival. So I still get to be KP and she just looks like she can't spell to save her life.

Ever seen a cat roll her eyes?

Anyway, I'm rebounding from my infection, and eating really good too. I have this little friend I absolutely adore. Her name is Calla and she's this little tiny gray polydactyl kitten that has adopted me as her mom. Glad someone around here was smart enough to realize I was a girl! We snuggle all the time and sometimes I even give her baths!

I wanted to says thanks to all of you out there helping with my medical bills. I hope to find a new home once I recuperate from my surgery. Maybe someone will adopt me and Calla together since we love each other so much.

Gotta run, CFM wants me to eat again. Life is tough!

Poor King Purrcival

That King Purrcival, he is one awesome cat. The more he has to deal with, the more I wonder what must go through a cat's mind when they feel like he must feel.

KP now has an infection going on somewhere in his body. After struggling to gain .75lbs and feeling good enough to have free reign of the house, he came down with some type of illness. He's lost 1.2 lbs and is getting steroids to encourage appetite, and fluids to keep him hydrated.

He also has terrible diarrhea, so we had stopped the thyroid meds to see if that would help, but then his thyroid is going back out of whack. So now he has to restart his meds, endure being hooked up to an IV every day, and being injected with stuff to encourage him to eat. Once the infection is gone, if he doesn't bounce back, it might be time to let him go.

It just sucks, because I can't imagine anyone loving this guy and letting him get this bad without trying to find a way to help him, even if money was an issue. I wanted to be able to give him an awesome home to live out the rest of his days, and it's just proving to be a real struggle. All pet owners can tell you that it's the hardest decision to have to make, whether or not to end an animal's suffering, or keep them alive. KP still purrs for me almost constantly - not when he's getting his fluids though. We're going to give him another chance to kick this infection, and fight long enough to get him the surgery for his thyroid.
