Midjull update: So, yeah. Feline Lymphoma
is the diagnosis. Prognosis – pretty crappy. They hydrated him and he ate a bit when he came home but it’s just a matter of time, I believe. He’s not in any pain other than feeling pretty low level crappy so I’ll keep him comfortable as I can.
Thanks for your love and light, Kim and Ami. :) Much appreciated by me and the Midgie.

Poor Midjull. He’s gone from being my big boy to a veritable bag of bones in no time. I take him to the internist veterinarian tomorrow for a sonogram so we can see if it’s the fatty liver issue for sure or if there’s a mass (read: tumor) in his liver causing the problem. (Sigh) If it is the former and there’s still time to get him pumped full of fluid and foods, I will definitely go that route. If it’s the latter, well, fuckety. (There goes my G rating, kids) He looks so sad. Bleah. Will let you guys know tomorrow night. Send him some love and light, please. (And me too if I have to make a decision I don’t really want to.)
Speaking of love and light, please also send some to my mentor, teacher and friend Regina who is having a pretty serious medical procedure Tuesday. If you know how to send distance Reiki, please send her some on that day.
In happier news, Ami helped Cousin ‘O Love and I start up a cool digital “StoryBook” through her affiliation with Creative Memories. This is the neatest thing! You can take your digital photos and make a neat “scrapbook” of sorts with comments and layouts and it gets bound up just like a book. Seriously, take a look at it. It’s easy as anything and CoL and I are making one for our Italy trip. If you would love a personalized gift for the grandparents for Christmas, this is the thing! Trust me. It’s awesome! (Now if only I could stay focused and stop futzing with the fonts and looking at pictures of things that aren’t even going in the book, right Ami? hehe)
So, yeah. That’s the haps here. Midjull update tomorrow, Regina update Tuesday.
Hey Lady! Your place has not let me on for a few days. Must be Mercury acting up.
I am so sorry about your Kitty. Sending some vibes down to support him in his journey.
Love U!
I’m so sorry to hear the diagnosis for your cat. Cats are such soulful creatures and to be loved by a cat is such pure love. Putting my cat Sam down was one of the hardest things I ever had to do . My brother and I were home at the time and neither one of us wanted to be the person who held him while we drove to the vets because we were both so upset – we actually fought over who would drive. But he gave us many years of enjoyment and love and we still remember him fondly.
I’ so sorry about Midgie … he is such a love.
I remember when my cat Ming was in the final days of his sweet life, it was so hard to accept that his life was finite, but when the day came, it was not a difficult decision to make, just hard to deal with the reality of it all.
Take comfort in knowing that you have given him a prince’s life, asking only for his companionship in return. You know he gave it gladly.
Peace to you both …
I love you!
P.S. THANK YOU for the too cool PCFO gift. No one but you and me understands why I laugh outloud when I see it. You are the best!!!
Im so sorry sweetie. I just read the update. Im sending as much warmth and comfort as I can your way….
Much thanks for the CM plug here on your blog! I’ll be checking for progress on that Italy album. Keep us posted about your cat – I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you get good news.

L- my heart goes out to you and Midjull today. I will keep both of you in my thoughts. As a cat person and momma to 17 3/4 yr old Maine Coon L.L. Bean (Beanie for short) I know these decisions just SUCK any which way.
Be strong like the willow.
Love and Hugs!
Kim
