Why am I so hungry - a kitteh brudder Patch post

I Tucker rarely let the kittehs post on my bloggy but I is making an exception for kitteh brudder Patch today.....

A picture of me first....

Now he may do his posty....  

I has been starving lately and a couple of months ago I was having the pukeys at least once a week.  You know the kind when you scarf all your food down and then drink all kinds of water and *poof* it all comes back up cause your stomach can't handle it?  So my momma & dad put the automatic feeder up so I could be fed mutiple times a day at the same time every day.  Ta da no more pukeys.  But I was still hungry...

So they started giving me a little extra each night, soft food - yummers.  Now I am 16 years old so I am getting thinner because us oldies lose muscle tone. And I was due for my regular annual exam so she ask Mr. Vet if this was normal for an old guy like me.

Nope not normal to be this hungry.

(Hey are you gonna eat that?)

Not normal to have a fast heart beat (which you couldn't hear over my purrs).

Mr. Vet expected Hyperthyroidism, the blood test confirmed it. So I needs medicine twice a day and I go back in 30 days to see if I am doing better.  But, I will need medicine the rest of my life.  Radiation is an option but the pills are not very expensive.  Only 60 cents a day for 2 pills.

So I should be feeling better soon.  Momma looked up some of the Signs of Hyperthyroidism and now understands why Mr. Vet said we caught this early.

* Weight loss (check)

* Increased appetite (check)

* Increased thirst and urination (hmm maybe)

* Vomiting (check)

* Diarrhea (not yet)

* Hyperactivity (not yet)

* Matted or greasy coat (not yet)

So, I'll take my pills and eat my foodables with the others.  In a month I go back to see if I am regulated. 

At least I won't be so hungry now. And it is important to go for your yearly checkup! If any of you kittehs out there have hyperthyroidism my Momma would love to have some advice.

More Proof

Yes, as if you needed more proof that Vader is FAT!  Subject: Vader kitteh

 Problem: Kitteh door is just big enough for fatso to fit through. As you can see kitteh brudder Patch can fit through just fine.

 Solution: TUBBYKAT door.... BOL... Seriously!  I means the humans bought this and replaced the other kitteh door wif it.  Ha Ha - fatso needed a bigger kitteh door.

 BOL... Vader is never gonna live this down I will continue to laugh at him.  Proof that Vader is fat!

BOL - correction he's TUBBY!  BOL.

A Tribute & Dogya Update

Momma was a whole year trying to find something to Honor kitteh brudder Troubles after his passing to the Rainbow bridge.  Then she saw Kitty & Coco's Momma's Etsy store

Momma emailed a couple pictures and look at the result!

Kitty & Coco's Momma Lauren captured Troubles perfectly!  His pale pink nose, his old kitteh eyes, his chubbiness!  Momma's eyes gots all leaky and thinks it is absolutely perfect!  She had Dad hang it right up.

 Over the top of my picture.  Somehow I think it's fitting since Troubles was the KING of the house.  He use to beat me ups when I was a puppy.  I gots a scar on my nose to proves it. But, after almost 17 years of life -Troubles is very missed.

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie
You better watch out
You better not cry

Better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, And checking it twice;

Gonna find out Who's naughty

and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad
or good
So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!

You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Happy Holidays from us all! (Pee S - I have no idea how that picture of me being bad got in here.... I don't do that anymores...)

'Twas the Night Before Christmas, a poem

'Twas the Night Before Christmas (or A Visit from St. Nicholas) by Clement Clarke Moore (1823)
************************************************************************************
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash,tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the lustre of midday to objects below,when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.More rapid than eagles, his courses they came,and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer!Now, Prancer and Vixen!On, Comet! On, Cupid!On, Donner and Blitzen!To the top of the porch!To the top of the wall!Now dash away! Dash away!Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky so up to the house-top the courses they flew,with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly,that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.And laying his finger aside of his nose,and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

Pressies From Darwin!

I gots a package in the mail from my friend Darwin!

Oh Boy oh Boy!

Let's see what is in here....

A piggy - I believe this is Darwin's favorite piggy toy...

Evil kittey brother is eyeballing it in the picture, do you see him. It's kinda hard but he's the beast in the background wif the glowing eyes. Yeah, you see him now.

What else is in here... The book I won in her 1 year blog aniversary... but I can't read too well so Darwin figured I'd give the book to Momma and she snuck me a toy.

Thank you so much Darwin, I luvs it. I'm gonna go enjoy him now. I'll name him George and squeeze him and hug him and luv him forever.

Pee S. Don't forget to RSVP for my birfday pawty! (you can see my last post for the details)
