My kid sister Katie got her wisdom teeth removed on Monday.  Last night she sort of looked like a chipmunk gathering nuts for the winter. Even though she had her wisdom teeth removed, she still seems like a smart cookie!  Not sure what kind of wisdom was removed.  She isn't feeling too bad, she just said her cheeks feel tight and the pressure is what bothered her last night. 


I'm not sure how she is gonna eat turkey on Thanksgiving.  She is eating alot of applesauce and some ice cream.  She had Chinese last night.  But she is very careful what she eats. 

Oh well, we will see how this turns out! 
She looks a little different then she did on Saturday night when she went to the Military Ball with her boyfriend, Alex. I will have to remember to post that picture later!

Anyway, to all my human friends,
Happy Thanksgiving!  

Love

Mom and dad got a call from the vet on November 8th, 2012.  The cat they were trying to help, Bernie died that morning.  The vet and all the techs at the vet were so shocked as were mom and dad and all the animals here.  The cat was eating and seemed to be getting better. The vet said she ate breakfast and then died. They believe it was a heart attack.  Perhaps because she was so starved, only skin and bones and the fact that she had a lot of parasites, it may have weakened her heart. The poor little thing.  Not that I like cats, but this one had a better chance cause she was the same colors as I was, it had me thinking that maybe we were somehow a little related. I was gonna give this cat a chance.  Poor Bernie, Rest in peace.  At least the cat didn't die cold and starving under a tree somewhere.  She died and knew that not all people were bad people.  Many people were helping her at the end of the her life and she was warm and getting fed.  Now mom and dad will put her ashes on the shelf in the living room with the other animals they once shared their home and heart with! 

Bernadette, I'm glad you came into our life!

Long story short, mom and dad and Katie brought this home  Basically she was in desperate need of a home and had a cold and my family couldn't bear the fact that she would be sleeping outside in the cold or in someone's cold garage again.  Mom is very upset, she said this kitty is much sicker then the folks thought. Mom said she is skin and bones and she has a cold and she seems to have the runs too.  Mom is very upset that she isn't eating and says she is gonna take the cat to the vet tomorrow.  I don't think she is related to me but she is the same colors as I am. 

My family doesn't know her story and they are wondering how a beautiful declawed cat could be dropped off somewhere.  The poor girl couldn't have eaten much for days maybe even weeks.  She is 6 1/2 pounds and is a full grown cat. Our other cats weigh way more then that!  This kitty wouldn't eat today, yesterday she ate a piece of chicken and a little sort cat food.  Mom keeps trying but she won't eat. Mom thinks she is just so darn weak.  Poor kitty.

I just know my mom is very worried about the cat and if she'll even make it   The family is calling her Bernie.  (From Berndette on Big Bang Theory).  I guess even I will say a prayer for her tonight. For my mom's sake.

This darn cat they call Frankie.  This is so humiliating.  I am snuggling next to my mom and that darn cat always has to move in and sit on mom's lap.  I really try to ignore the darn cat but she is licking my ear!! Hello, don't these dumb cats know I don't like them.
