Furry Thankful Bibi is Coming Home

Just a few days ago Miss Peach helped me write a blog post about Giselle and her kittens, and especially about the loss of Bibi, my mother's long time companion.


More than enough money came in to help Bibi come home, thru Facebook funding and Paypal - most of it thru Paypal, thankfully since Paypal sends funds immediately whereas Facebook may take weeks to receive.

I am overwhelmed because not only did we need funds for Bibi's urn but I lost two days this week looking after Mom - we needed more than just for Bibi's homecoming.

Thank you all my dear friends from the depths of my heart. Bibi was very special. We don't know what her life was like for her first three years, save she was left behind when a family moved out of my neighborhood.

One Friday in 2004, sometime in March or April, Bibi showed up in my back yard, eating some cat food I had left out for another abandoned kitty. I sat down on the porch and she crawled into my lap. Her tummy was plump. Was she pregnant? She stayed in my lap for a long time as I wondered about where this sweet kitty came from. Finally I picked her up as she protested and carried her into my garage where I sat her down. She hated being picked up! For days I tried finding where she came from. I tried bringing her with me from house to house. She refused to go back outside!! Scared to death of being abandoned again.

The only thing I found out was that a neighbor a block away had been feeding her. I told Mom about her and she hoped that this cat would be a good replacement for Kitty who had passed away in January on the anniversary of my brother's tragic death. She stayed in my bedroom for several days while I made sure she wasn't pregnant. In fact we found a small tattoo, indicating she was fixed. (Vet confirmed this on her first checkup.)

Finally my stepfather came and picked her up to take her home. The moment she saw my mother, she claimed one of the pillows on her bed! From that moment on, she was Mom's Bibi or was Mom Bibi's big baby? After my stepfather passed away in 2006, every night Bibi made sure Her big human baby was tucked in and going to sleep before Bibi went night night in the other bedroom. Bibi called Mom "mah" and she would always say "mah" to let Mom know she was going into the other room.

Bibi was funny about toys too. Either she played with the feather toy if Mom played or she took her stuffed toys and placed them in specific hiding places, but never played with them. If anyone moved her toy, she got upset and put them back. We think that Bibi may have had kittens before she was fixed and perhaps they were taken away from her too soon.

Thank you all from Angel Bibi and Mom for Helping with getting our sweet Bibi's urn. Although Mom stayed at home and could not go to the vets with me because of tummy flu, at the moment that Bibi went over the Rainbow Bridge at the vets, Mom heard Bibi say "Mah." Bibi told Mom that I am just going into another room - I will see you again...
 

oh Lord, You save both people and animals. How great is your unfailing love
that we take refuge in the shadow of your wings. -Psalm 36:6-7

Kitten Sunday Selfies Late and Furry Sad Mewz

Hi everyone. Monday was National Cat Day. Dids you know that? We have a day just fur us Cats!

This is Miss Peach watching Giselle's kittens playing in the hallway. The Mom wants to apologize for not blogging fur almost a month... our camera is all catputted and don't take furry goods photos no more...

Mama Giselle's kittens, Cheddar, Pepper, Colby and Heather just turned 8 weeks old and we waz going to show their mew selfies Sunday...Giselle came from a motel owner friend who could not keep her, especially after he found out she had kittens!

Yet we has furry sads mews. Auntie Bibi has not been feeling well and been hiding alot.

Furst we show you Giselle and her kittens.

Giselle

Cheddar

Pepper Jack (PJ)

Colby

Heather

They are furry playful and furry interesting to watch while they play... Mom says they are rambunctious and climb up her blue jeans!! Cheddar and Heather need more time with people. They gets fussy when picked up... Mom thinks they gets rumbly tummies cause they been burping their food. Giselle is shy and nervous in new situations, yet her am very sweet girl. Giselle and kids will be going to Manhattan On November 16 to gets shots and fixed and then kittens will find furever homes. Please keeps them in your purrs fur their trip to Manhattan and Cattails Rescue.



Now we must tell you our furry sads mews, why Nana's Bibi has been hiding. Nana, Mom and Uncle Mike had trouble finding where she was hiding...for several days. She would show up for a while then hide again. Finally Bibi used the last of her strength to climb up the basement stairs to the landing in the kitchen by the back door. Katie Mom was in Nana's kitchen at the time making something fur Nana to eat cause Nana has the stomach flu... Mom gently picked Bibi up and she was furry cold and hardly moving... and rushed her to Nana's bed. Bibi did not want to go over the bridge alone... She wanted to be with Nana.

Bibi was 17 and half years old and had struggled with CKD - chronic kidney disease for many years... Nana has not only been sick with the stomach flu, yet now she is missing Bibi soo much, the grief is overwhelming.

Bibi has been Nana's companion for almost 15 years since the day she came to Mom's house in 2004 at 3 years old looking for help after being left behind to fend for herself. A few weeks later, Bibi came to lives with Nana. The first time Bibi saw Nana, Bibi claimed one of the pillows on the bed!!

The saddest thing is that Pet Traditions will not even cremate Bibi until the entire bill of $210.00 is paid. They used to let pet parents put half down for cremation, urn and then make payments. Katie Mom took Bibi to the vet to pts because Pet Traditions would have charged another $50 to come to Nana's house. Please can you help get Bibi back to Nana? We are afraid that she will not even get out of bed until Bibi comes home. Nana is 78 years old and disabled. She feels there is no reason to keep going without her Bibi. 

Miss Peach and Katie Mom.

Dearest friends and Cat Bloggers, This is Kat. This blog post has been so hard to write... We have asked for help for Chiquita's $400 plus bill months ago when she had a mysterious rash, yet only a few dollars came in. Thank you to the one dear friend from over the blue who helped at that time.

Yet I am begging for my Mom's sake to help get Bibi back home. There is no way we can come up with 210 dollars in cash up front. All cards are maxed out from kitty cat bills and the pet helping ministry. I am barely getting in enough money for food and litter fur our foster cats.

The grief of losing Bibi is so overwhelming to my mom. She has lost so much, her parents, her husband, her son from 200 hundred feet fall and now her only companion Bibi. Our paypal email address is laugh_safely at yahoo dot com. please use option gift to friends.

If you would like to help pay Pet Traditions, directly, please email me or contact me on Facebook at Kat-Renee Kittel Thank you so much for helping my mom. If you can't help pay for Bibi's urn, can you please share the need? Thank so much.

-Katie Kat

Now Fur My Furstid Selfies and Today fur My Gotcha Celebration!!

2004  just few months old

2008 - 4 years old

AND ME TODAY!!!

I turned 13 last November and this month marks my 13th Gotcha Day on January 22!! Thirteen years ago in Arkansas City, Kansas - on the first anniversary of Mommy's brother's tragic death, a friend of Mommy opened her front door, and I just walked in!!! I was about two months old, tail held high on a furry impawtant mission! 

 

Katie Kitty Too

To find my Mommy. At first Mommy and Nana thought I was going to be Nana's kitty, cause Nana's Kitty went home the exact same time I walked into Mommy's friend's house. Nana had asked Kitty to stay one year from when her son, Mommy's brother died, and Kitty did - right to the day. Kitty was a Russian Blue and lived to be over 20 years old even with FIV. We don't has a photo of Kitty... not many pictures of Kitty and dat am furry sads. There am a photo on Nana's computer. Mommy will look fur dat.

Nana's Bibi

Yet I just was too ornery with a spitfire purrsonality fur Nana to keeps... I was meant for Mommy. About a month later, a three year old tabby was in Mommy's back yard eating food that had been put out for an abandoned Ginger Siamese named George. Mommy sat down on the patio and the tabby kitty got in her lap... That kitty became Nana's kitty Bibi. Bibi am 16 years old with Chronic Kidney Disease. Her may be go to Bridge sometime soon. 

Dat's my story...the furry exact same time that 20+ year old Kitty went Home from heart failure, hundreds of miles away I walked into Mommy's friend's house looking fur my Mommy...cause Daddy God told me to... "Where My Mommy? You know where my Mommy am?" Because Kitty not wanted Mommy and Nana to be alones - two kitties came to take Kitty's place. And da rest am purr-story.

Wordy Wednesday Thanks From Guero Purrz Fur Bibi

Got the blood panel back on Guero - His kidney panel was in the good range - Purray!!!
Thank you every one for helping us get that blood work done... He needed checked after his bout with
fever and the big D, especially since he wetting hims bed while he had fever last week.  This week he is doing well. Thank you soo much!!
He is more susceptible to infection though without his urethra.  Purrz that he stays well.

Guero Monday, before blood panel

Bibi at the vet last month

Katie Mom checked on previous blog post last month about Nana's Bibi and realized that we never told about her checkup at the vets when her was bothered about her ear or mouth. We updated Facebook and forgots to update the blog!

Mouses!!! If had beens really bads, we would haz lets you know fur sure. Well Bibi's ears were fine, her teeth were fine - she had fleas bothering her. Mouses indeed!! Nana's house has never had fleas. Bibi been flea free fur years... Well her gotted Revolution to starts and then will gets another one in about a week and next month too.  

Bibi has had Chronic Kidney Disease for several years and is 15 years old this year.  After her vet visit, Bibi decided to change which litter box to use. She started using the one down in the basement that she had not used in over a year.  The litter in the box was furry old.

Bibi Resting in her carrier

Katie Mom cleaned the downstairs box fur her a few times and put fresh litter in. Then Bibi stopped using the downstairs box and is not using the one upstairs either. 

Nana and Katie Mom don't know where her am going potty.  Yesfurday she went poopy in front of the microwave.  We don't know why she won't use her boxes... same litter, yet maybe the litter smell has changed.

She may be using the blankies on the spare bed.  If the change has to do with CKD - then we are furry worried.  She needs to be seen furry soon and check her blood work and see if the CKD has advanced. 

Please keep Bibi in your purrz... 
Nana needs your purrz too...

Wordy Wednesday Kitties and Vets

Hiya evfurryone... Molly Here - Me don't tell the mewz much. I am a furry smart, quiet kitty. I sat down to see if I could help Katie Mom find her thinking cap cause it fells off lately. We founded it though. we thinks... mol


Got lots of kitty mewz so the Mom am figurin out who to talks about furrst... we talks about Gordo cause there was some confusion about hims bloodworks done last Friday and so Katie Mom thought him needed another

doctor visit. Turned out that him didn't need one cause almost all the tests were done on Friday, save for pancreas and diabetes. We gonna puts a correction on Saturday's and Sunday's posts and date the correction.  Da confusion happened cause Katie and Silvia didn't gets the paperworks until Monday and they were told on Saturday "everything was fine," and not what does that mean?

We still don't know whats bloodworks means cause sent to a human lab that didn't point out what is on low sides and what am on high sides that even if they are in "acceptable ranges" they might indicate something by being close to the border. Gordo's thyroid am right on the HIGH BORDER - exactly the opposite what Katie thought it would be. Right on top of it. So Katie am doing the research herself cause Silvia's vet not telling us nuffin. Her might take the panel to our vets just to see what him says about results.

Now Mama Narcisca had anal glands plugged. Her went to vet on Monday and gots all that yucky stuffs pushed out. A nice lady paid fur her visit. Her gots a shot to helps with pain and a pill to helps with appetite. When her went home with Silvia, her hads a good time in litter box, but her fell down trying to go. Mama am a small kitty.  Her am doing some better, but running a mild fever at night. When Nana's cat Bibi had anal gland plugged, her gotted antibiotic shot, so don't know. Both Mama and Gordo are still having tummy troubles and up comes their foods. 

Katie wants to try a corn free food, very easy fix if kitties have developed tummies not likes corn no more, especially if Gordo may has IBS, yet Silvia's doc says don't change food, just get shot to calm stomach (instead of trying elimination diet to find whats bothering stomach?)...  Howsomever Silvia wants to try new bag of Purina Naturals see if something in old bag was problem  --- Silvia really wants to stick to Purina. (Maybe try Purina Beyond grain free. Yet that high Thyroid with Gordo is something that should be checked again to see if it goes outside of range.)

Now fur some loverly mewz. Pearl spent the night with us (Molly was in her bedroom though and Pearl was in bathroom) Monday and then went into to haz her spay yesfurday. Her am doing all goods afterwards so far. Pearl am recovering furry nicely...  Here am cutie pics when her gotted back to the fosters.  

Please purrz dats we gets Bibi to vet today.  We haz found where Nana's cat Bibi am bin hiding, and now we can hopefully catch her to gets to vet today. Could be a toothache. Her am not been sleeping much lately and her sits by the walkway on the couch arm and tells folks off all day, not like her. Bibi's head has been feeling hot. Her am 15 years old, so vital to gets her into vets. Her new appointment is at 3:30 today.
