I did not get all i planned done today.


I wanted to work more on organizing my living space ha ha
Clean the rabbits area thoroughly / DONE
get Carmencatra back to the vet she has a lump at the side of her neck
work on some dye experiments *in progress*
post some items to friends (mail) not even close
work on the calendar *still have time*

Things accomplished
the vet : Carmen has a swollen lymph node. antibiotics for a week and watch if not better bring back for tests could be anything but lets rule out lymphoma please she is only a year! so yet another fear for the remainder of this litter.

The rabbit enclosure done swept and cleaned, bunnies and M'Agnes happy.

M'Agnes got a bath

Hibiscus dying experiment will post pictures later so far a lovely lovely colour.

Episodes

Today Gabrielli has had another episode, I found her sitting on a ledge staring as if she did not know where to go. I picked her up and brought her in, started to brush her to help her calm down. This did not work and she got more agitated.

While i was trying to get her to calm Carmen came into the room and started to watch Gabrielli very closely. Not a good sign so i went to pick up Gab to take her into another room also to trim her nails since i wasn't to trusting of her. Right as I picked her up Carmen slapped at her, she caught me instead, it seems that she was trying to protect me from the cat she perceived to be attacking me. It is good that she got me in the back of the forearm not the inner part where all the veins are.

I did not react just continued on to take Gabrielli out and trim her nails which were major hooks and then put her in the isolation room. this is the room that usually gets the pheromone so she was left there for an hour. During which i trimmed Moira,Carmen and Isadora, Then brought back out for more brushing and cuddling. It makes me so sad that she has these episodes, and the veterinarians will not prescribe anything until they can observe one of the episodes.
Sometimes I think it would have been better if I had not tried to help her when she had the reaction to the rabies vaccine and had let her slide away.

An Update on Carmen

My little girl is on opiate pain killer now, She has a back strain and her patella is slipped which is making it hard to walk smoothly. I did not want to give her the med I wanted to as the Dr. said let her heal naturally but with watching her it was obvious she needed some relief and so she is being drugged.
As she is sleeping i am trying to give time to Lusitania who is also seeming upset. I think with he it is seeing that all my attention has been on other cats and not so much on her. I have purchased for her her favourite treats but she is ignoring them and just rubbing against me flicking her tail in the *I am so very very annoyed* way and meowing which usually means i am to go to sleep NEOOOW.
My Lu is sporting scratches across her nose which I think she has received from M'Agnes.
Tomorrow they all get Capstar as they have been getting bad infestations of fleas.

Rest in peace my Gianni

Today my Father woke me up saying that Kinji had been hit and i needed to go get him. His body was in front of the neighbors house. I was thinking that it was odd as I could still feel Kinji's, 'presents' and this would not be the first time he had mistaken a cats identity. No it was not Kinji, I later found Kinji asleep on one of the pillows in the backyard. No the loss was one of my feral cats. Gianni had been struck so hard that his body had been tossed 8 feet, i saw all the splatters, this is a residential area the speed limit is 25 MPH yet he was hit so hard that they left pieces of plastic from their car. I am trying to make this as coherent as possible, but it is hard to type and cry at the same time.

Gianni was such an incredibly handsome boy, He was affectionate to the extreme with his LOVE ME and ONLY ME ways, He would play with all, spar with all and still stuff his face in every ones food dish while they were eating.

My Carmenkatra is now in deep mourning.
She went to where I had laid him so that they could say their goodbyes and know Gianni would not be coming back, She was his sister and I think they had been playing when it happened, I don't think she was hit but is showing signs of pain i examined her when she was holding up her paw shivering. She growled at me but not in an I'm in pain way. I was a very lonely sad sound. Since I had seen paw prints nearby I think they were hers
The rest sniffed and then went about their business.
I am going to miss him he was such a clown but I know he is now with his brother Frankie
Rest in Peace my Gianni you were only 1 year old.

Beach day

Awww today a day of resting breathing the sea air looking for shells and walking a kitten who is now big enough to wear a ferret harness.

It was nice when we got there only a few people were there for lunch and were in the process of leaving so we pretty much had it to ourselves.
Little Miss M'Agnes was keen on taking my Mother for a walk through the bushes.
M'Agnes had fun on the sand as well. She spent time trying to catch mom who was off collecting things on the beach.
She was not crazy about the noise but REFUSED to be in the carrier or held. It was a fun day to be there we did not stay very long and she almost got ran over by a little boy who did not see her as she was pretty well camouflaged against the sand.
I sadly did not get enough pictures as i kept trying to keep up with her tangents.


After we left we did a short stop at a yarn store were she was cuddled and loved and played with until she took a nap being th etired little girl that she was.

Ok so today i have been trying to decide which pictures to use in the calendar. I have been working on collages as well so some of the months will have a collage some will be a single picture. i am now having problems getting the collages over to my flash drive so epic frustration is prevalent.
since i am not savvy with a lot of the tools on my computer i am thinking i am missing something but i am convinced that i will get it figured out eventually. i am a little daunted that i will be publishing my pictures this is something I always joked about but never thought i would actually do.
Still need to figure out how much the postage will be to those out of the country.

Happy July 4th

Today of course I left my camera at home! Today at work was a vaccination clinic so i took M'Agnes to work with me.....BUT I had my phone! She was a complete angel. she stayed at the register, she never complained she never tried to jump, she put up with ALL the handling. As you can see she has a new dress that she will grow into. She also got an animal print ferret harness that she wore and had fun taking employees for walks.


The Vet tech was so happy to see her, that as soon as he entered the store he came immediately to the counter and cuddled her. After her shot she slept very deeply much to the amusement of some coworkers who were trying to get her to play.

Calendar cats

OK now since i have been asked for a calendar i will gather pictures together.
M'Agnes will definitely be in it plus a few of the other fuzzies.
Here are a few of the potential pictures i will be trying to find the best ones. And I will mark her Birthday in the calendar for you.
I do like this one of her grooming she seems to be praying here.

this is Carmen watching her fish. How she has changed from this shot, where she was first starting to explore.
Isadora was being particularly photogenic today.

The little wench asleep.

If you would like one post me a message I will try to keep them affordable but will have to tack on postage. it is looking like $14 is going to be the tag on it to help cover the job and postage. I was looking at the digital calendars but my laptop does not have the programs needed unfortunately.
Believe me I have a lot of pictures to choose from, so let me know if you want a calendar.
