All about MEE!

Teego passed his test at the vets today!

The day after Teego’s failed urine sample, Teego was booked to go to the vets first thing in the morning, ideally with a FULL bladder, to make it easy for the vet to steal some of his wee!
We were under strict instructions to try not to let him wee before his appointment.
That morning, Mommacat was in the kitchen, and out of the corner of her eye, noticed Teego getting into the litter tray! Now, it’s not like you can chase him out or anything, but fortunately, Teego has some funny toilet positions, and this time he chose a fairly upright one, and quick-thinking Mommacat grabbed a cup off the draining board and held it under him and caught every last drop!!!!

So fortunately for Mr Teego, he got away with not having to go to the vet again, and having someone steal his wee-wees!

This is a picture from the Vets – notice how Teego ISN’T there!!

And if you ever come to our house and we give you a cup of tea in that cup….  well, maybe you should take the hint?

And do you know what that nice JesseVet said as we were about to empty the cup and go?

“I’ll just take a syringe of Teego’s wee for myself, as well as the one to send away for testing”!!!  I wonder why he wants some???  It’s either to do some of his own tests, or it’s to sell it on Ebay!!!

haw haw! We’re only joking – JesseVet is always so lovely to us!

Teego has a problem in his mancat bits!

Last week, Mommacat noticed that Teego was weeing in an unusual place, not in the Litter Tray. Fortunately, as a result of this, she noticed there was some blood in his wee. An easy way to check this, is to press some white kitchen towel into it, and you’ll see what colour it is!

The picture's not so good, but it was more red than yellow.

Daddycat was away on business, so she couldn’t ask him, (not that he’d know!) so she called our friend Barbara from Silversmoke Abyssinians, even though it was very late at night, and dear Barbara said “anything like that, go straight to the emergency vet. If it’s a blockage, it can be life threatening within hours!”

Mommacat didn’t need to be told twice – She took Teego to the 24h Emergency Vet, 30 minutes drive away, and they gave him an examination. Their conclusion was that it wasn’t a blockage, and gave him a strong painkiller, and told us to go to our vets first thing in the morning.

In the morning, the vet gave him an antibiotic, and prescribed some Cystaid capsules that we could sprinkle over his food.

Mr Teego was too wise and wouldn’t eat any food with pills in it, so they had to be smart!

Unlike Mr Teego, who completely fell for the ruse, and eats his medicine every time!

HANG ON!…. We don’t get any Tuna!

On the other hand, maybe we don’t want Tuna like that – Teego went to see our Favourite Vet today, Jesse, and HE TRIED TO STEAL TEEGOS WEE-WEE!!! (He wants to have a look if theres any crystals in there.) He got a nice assistant to hold Teego down, while they put the needle in. To be honest, Teego was very brave, and didn’t struggle much once it started, but look at his ears!

Unfortunatley, Teego’s bladder was empty, so he has to go back to see Jesse again tomorrow morning, first thing, when his bladder is full, and do it all again!

It’s a good job we like Jesse isn’t it?

Chicken liver raw food treat!

We had an unexpected treat a while ago! We have a friend who is a famous Chef – Chef Annie from Annie’s Supper Club. I guess she was cooking something chickeny, and although she didn’t offer to share any with us, she did come round with a tub of CHICKEN LIVERS!!!

I’m guessing that her guests didn’t get any lovley chicken livers, and just got the leftovers like the breast and leg! hah! They have no idea!

I think Daddycat must have been a little under the weather here, as he kept gagging while preparing our delicious treat!

Yummy Chicken Livers all for US!!! Notice how bright red they were – I guess that’s what you get when they’re so fresh?

Teego doesn’t seem very interested though in his delicious livers. Maybe he didn’t want to get his light coloured furs all messy and red or something…

So we were more than happy to help Mr Teego out, and eat his livers for him.

Honestly, we don’t understand humans, all they kept saying while we were scoffing was “bleurgh! That’s gross” and “yuck, how could they?”

They simply have no taste!

A Happy Story

I’ve noticed a lot of missing cat stories recently, which I guess, when you’re part of a worldwide community of cats, it’s a sad thing, but sort of to be expected.

Every week someone’s dearly loved furbaby goes to the Rainbow Bridge, or their pampered kittie doesn’t come home for some reason and we all feel dreadful for them, and our hearts say a little prayer that it never happens to us.

Well, I noticed this sign around my local neighbourhood about someone’s missing kittie, and saying all the usual things, check in your sheds etc.

Well, I thought I’d post some WONDERFUL NEWS!! Oscar was FOUND! And I know that because his lovely owners, went around to pretty much every poster they’d put up, saying:

FOUND

Slightly injured, in a distant back garden.
With sincere thanks to all for your
concern, vigilance and kindness.

Isn’t that lovely that they’d bother to tell everyone that he’s found and safe? I think they deserve a visit from the good karma fairy!

I hope this gives hope to anyone missing and looking for a lost cat right now. It proves that it’s not a waste of time – it’s really worth it – you never know what’ll happen!

A new film, starring Teego!

Hi everyone! We posted a new film today, Starring me, Teego, and I get to go on an adventure! Of course, it was all about me, but Freya and Chatzi both managed to get into my film somehow!

I hope you enjoy it!

It was made for a film competition, and as usual Daddycat left it till the last minute, and made it the afternoon before the competition! There’ll probably be a sequel, so where else should I visit?

My film is a tribute to the music video by Superchunk – Crossed wires,
