Whitecat Wednesday and Wacky Pierro

Princess:

Long long long long story . . . .
Mom was hoping to hear from the vetman yesterday
but so far, no results on my 6 months check up.
This all started last week.... or.. no, when Pierro came to live here. See, he is a typical rex cat with the extra waxy ears. Caesar and I never had noticeably waxy ears, so mom never cleaned our ears.

Mom cleans Pierro's ears one day every week... so last Wednesday she decided to look at my ears and see what they looked like, then she cleaned the outer parts with a dry q-tippie. I did not like it!! It felt reeeeally wierd.
so, I started scratching my left ear like crazy after that... I scratched all of my furs off!!!!!

this is a picture of my right ear so you can see what normal is:
(yes, I am laying on my white sheepie skin)

By Friday morning, mom was getting a bit worried about this scratching. She tried to look into my ears with a small flashielight, but I was too stubborn to let her (she is an olde nurse). She kept a sharp eye on me all day Friday and had to remind me to not scratch, but after she would leave the room, I would do some scratching.
Mom thought I might give myself an infection... so I ended up getting shoved into the prison box Saturday morning!!! We got into the black musheen and Blizzie came along to be with me too.

Wow, what a long story... well, here is where it gets really horrible.
Our vetlady moved back to Maine to live near her family, so we had to see the vetman. He had kind bloo eyes. He said I looked good. The helpergirl weighed me and said I weigh 7 lb 14 oz which is pretty good for a 17 year old ladycat. The vetman tried to check my ears, the helper girl took some goop out of my ears and that test came back good, no germies, so the vetman gave mom some oinkment to put in my ears... it feels very gross and greasy.
THEN! the vetman said "why not go ahead and have Prinnie's 6 month check ups" with the bloods and lots of touching and squeeeezing? It was extremely frightening and terrible and oh my I was soooo upset. I do not bite or scratch but I did... cry. Mom wrapped me up in my pink blankie and when they took me back to the torture room in the back, they also let me be wrapped up in my blankie.... oh I was dizzy with fear.
When I got back to the cold room, mom opened my prison box, I jumped right in there and went to the back of that box.

I always went to the vet with Caesar. He would be in the front near the prison bars and protect me. I always hided in the back... this time he was not there for me, so it was just terrible terrible terrible

We finally made it back home and mom brought me upstairs to her room and let me have some peace and quiet... I have not been scratching my ears anymore. I just decided to stop doing that and besides, now my ears are sooo greasy.

Well, mom is still waiting for the phone call about my lab work... I hope it comes back super good.
I feel pretty good, I eat really well and the sub-q's are rather annoying but I know that they are good for me. I only get sub-q's one day a week and I always get two Temptations and some kitten crunchies.

Purrrrs, thank you for reading all of this and being so nice to me.
Here is a picture of silly Pierro to make you laugh :-)

I love all of you
purrrrs

Treat everyone with politeness,
even those who are rude to you
- not because they are nice,
but because you are.

Oah Dearest Prinnie~!
Sounds you have a very hard time at the vet~!!!!! Oah Dear~~~~

Well... I like to scratch my ears as well~! I always have very tiny problem with my ears and eyes time to time, I just feel like to scratch or groom too much on them.
So I always need to go to the vet time to time~~ It just can't help to scratch~!!! You know what I mean.

I am glad the result isn't too bad,
at least I have to wear the collar all day. And you don't.
I really really hope my ears turn better, but the good thing is, I don't have to wrestle with Lego recently~! I feel like I am the only cat now~ Michico always seperate us, while I into the living room, Lego in his bedroom.
While I in my bedroom, Lego at the living room.
Anyway it's the only good part~!
I wish your ear problem will be no big deal soon~~~~

And I think I like your little Pierro's funny photo~~~

Purr, and big hugs
Adan

Well we hope your results come back good too Prinnie, thanks for the silly photo of Pierro too as we needed something to laugh about today... Our friend TT has crossed over and so we're all pretty sad here right now...

I hope all of your tests are A-OK. I have to go to the VET on Friday (we are all going for check-ups) I am not happy about this!
Smooches to you Prinnie!

We're so sorry you we scairty, Princess. At least you're back home, all safe and sound on your lamb blankie. ♥

The Meezers or Billy said...

oh Prinny, we are so sorry you were torchured so badly!!! and now to have greasy ears - how horrible. Purrsss to you sweet beautiful girl!

Pierro, you are so silly!

Ooh, it is terrible to go to the vet alone. Riley always comes along to protect me. I like to hide in the cage too. He is a good groomer and that calms me. Next time you have to go to the vet we should have him teleport over. He's not Caesar, but he's a very good protector. We hope you have good test results!

That sounds like such a ordeal!! Gosh I can't believe they decided to do more to you just because you were there. I'm glad you stopped scratching though because that's not good.

We are purring for your check up tests to all be good and for your ear to get better!

Pierro is a silly guy!

Oh Prinnie how yuckie! I'm only ok at the vet if momma's there. If she has to leave me for tests I turn into a cat from H. E. double hockey sticks! They even put a note in my chart to sedate me if I'm left with out my mom. I hope all your tests come back good so you don't have to go back. Maybe you can train Pierro up to be a protector at the Vet. With those silly faces he makes he could at lest be a distraction. hehe

Gemini and Ichiro said...

WE have always figured if there was bad news they would be sure to tell us. That they haven't called back is likely to be good news! So we will be happy about that!

Daisy said...

Oh no, I am so sorry you had such terrible torture at the Vet's office. I am purring that your bloods will all come back good! I have very waxy ears. One of my Mommie's favorite spots is the extra-soft curly furs behind the ears.

Pierro's silly and cute face always makes me smile!

PB 'n J said...

Oh Prinnie, what an awful experience! It sounds like you handled is as bets you could.

We'll be purring that all the results come back well!

We love Pierro's picture - he's so silly :-)

Pierro makes the cutest faces!

Prinnie, I feel just terrible about everything you went through at the vet. My sisters always like for me to be with them, too. I wish I could have gone with you, though I know it wouldn't have been the same.

Beethoven said...

Oh...I is glad your ears are ok! When I first camed, I had to put greasy ointment in my ears too and I do not like it! I hope your tests come back great! Pierro looks so silly indeed!

Hi Prinnie! Oh I am so sorry about your scary experience at the V E T! Trust that your mom knows what she's doing when she takes you there. I hope your test come back perfect! Cody has waxy ears too and the Vet says it's fine.
Tookie was at least 22 when she went to the Bridge, so 17 for a kitty seems young to me. You look wonderful and I hope you feel wonderful too!
Big hugs for you and your cute, silly little brother,
Lorianna
