Our Fishes got Deaded

9 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 5:47 AM

Hi kitties,

I have some sad news. With the new approach of the winter, we tried to bring some of the pond fishes indoors but they were too too big for Figaro's new aquarium (that he got for the moneys he won as a top 10 finalist in the petsmart contest). So unfortunately we had to remove the fishes back to the pond and yesterday 2 of our fishes were deaded, Milton and John Nash. Dad-bean buried them in our backyard. Poor poor Milton and John. We are very sad. Here is John (the speckled one, he is a Shubunkin) and Milton (the orange one) in the photo of them when they were still in our aquarium that was too small. They were very good pets. We also have three other fishes in the pond, Vernon, Samuelson and Bazerman. We seen Vernon swimming around near the bottom but there is no signs of Samuelson or Bazerman, who are twins. Maybe they are alive and hiding on the bottom. We really hope Vernon does not die. We buyed them a pond heater and so they should survive. We are hopeful. I think they wented to fishie-rainbow-land.
Love

Figaro's Scary Ribbon Ingestion Day - How to Induce Vomiting for Cats

2 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 8:10 PM

Hi Kitties,

I have some very very bad news and some instant good news. The bad bad news, Figaro swallowed a 1-foot long ribbon this afternoon. The good news, he is just fine now. I am writing so that anyone on the internet can know what to do in case of ribbon eating by cats.

First, ribbon is very very bad for kitties. You should not have any around!! Mommie was watching the ribbon the ENTIRE time and then she heard Figaro make a cough and he was sitting RIGHT by where the ribbon was. She thinked to herself, Figaro EATED the ribbon!!! :-( That is very bad.

She called our friend S. who is a vet and also our Uncle S. (who takes cares of us a lot) camed over and we had to "induce vomiting". Figaro had to take 2 teaspoons of 3% dilute Hydrogen Peroxide. He had to take 3 doses, 10 minutes apart. That is the Maximum that you can give, and you should give 1 teaspoon per 5lbs of bodyweight. This method works for dogs also. After that, it sometimes takes a while for the kitty to throw up. Figaro did not throw up for 2 hours! But that is okay. He was feeling very sick and nauseous and he was acting like he wanted to sleep a lot. He did not even want to take any Temptashuns. It is important for everyone to know if you do this method, it is o.k. if the kitty does not throws up right away. Also, you have to make sure first if the ribbon is lodged somewhere in the kitty's mouth (it wasnt.)

Finally, Figaro THROWED UP the ribbon. We are so so glad he is ok now!!!

He did not want to eat anything tonight but he is just relaxing and sleeping a little bit. Tomorrow we think he will eat something. He even made a small purr this evening.

Please keep your kitties safe and do not let them play with ribbons! And if this happens to you then call a V.E.T. immediately!!!

Love,

Veronica

Hi Kitties,

Yesterday our fambly went and early-voted for the elections. We gotted to keep Mommie's sticker because we are still 1 years of old and also kitties cannot vote. Here is Figaro wearing our voting sticker on his patriotic t-shirt (it says "Red White 'n Cute").

I basically told Mommie who we should vote for so she did that. As a kitty I belief in less wars, more temptashuns, saving the environments, health cares for effurryone, and lots of cuddle times. (Guess who we votid for...)

Effuryone, get out theres and vote!!!

Love,

Veronica

PS, Whoah check out Figaro's tail in this picshur.

 

Our Photo Shoot

Hi kitties,

This weekend was Very Important. Our Uncle S. came over and took a lot of photos of us with his camera. He is a Professional Photographer, that is one of his many talentings. We are going to make special cards to give out to the people that Figaro visits as part of his Therapy Kitty-ness, and so the photos have to be Extra Good (and they are!).

Here is the two of us sitting on our Training Podiums. This is where we train to give High Fives and Sit Ups, and Twirls and Pick Ups. We learn more every week. We like to go sit on our podiums because when we Practice our tricks we get a lot of Temptashions!!!

This week our mommie is in a business trip so our Uncle S. is taking cared of us. He is very very nice and plays with us and feeds us everything we wants. Mommie said as a joke that we have to get weighted before she leaves and when she gets back, because our vacationings with Uncle S. is like a all-you-can-eat buffets. But she was only kidding. She wants us to have good times.

Love,

Veronica
