Mama Kitty - The Continuing Saga
27 April 2014 | La Paz Mexico
Louisa's New Love
Since last writing, Mama Kitty has gone up and down. . . Blood Tests found her anemic and very high white blood cell count indicating she still has a raging infection in her delicate little body. She's been back and forth to Doctor G many times for more injections and intravenous hydrating. She is not a happy camper when she's away from her new home (Landover).
As of today, she is hanging in there with her twice daily, by mouth antibiotics and once a day pain meds. She is very comfortable and happy on HER sailboat. She feels safe and adored! She actually begs for pets, massages and attention whenever we are in sight!
We are struggling with finding just the right food that she likes. We've tried Whiskas dry and moist cat food, Whiskas Kitten Food, Purina Felix moist food, people tuna, Fancy Feast moist food (every flavor), and the list goes on . . . One day she loves one and the next day she turns her nose up at it! The only one she is showing continued interest in (at least this week) is the crunchies that are in a plastic container in the Cruiser's Lounge. But . . . we have no idea which brand these are because they are in a Mixed Nuts jar. Sooooooo, can anyone tell us the brand of cat food that is? . . . Wally? Cetus? Rosie? If any of you Mama Kitty lovers knows the secret recipe, please post it in the comments section on this Blog . . . thanks ever so much!
Well, time is getting near to putting Landover "on the hard" at Bercovich's Boatyard for six months and heading home to Sacramento, California to see our family and friends and four grandkids (two new ones). We're hoping Mama Kitty will be strong enough to travel by car for more than 1500 miles. Flibertygibbit is driving us home and we will be stopping in motels along the way. We are hauling out on May 2, but will be checking into a really nice hotel close to our Marina on May 1st so we can settle Mamma Kitty into her air conditioned room through May 4th. We will start the long drive home on May 5th. The three of us will be back on Landover in Marina Palmira, La Paz, sometime in November 2014 to continue our cruising adventures. While home in Sacramento, we may revise and update our Blog to include things not yet posted. We will type "UPDATED" into the titles so you can scroll back through the dates chronologically to see what we have sandwiched in to the old blogs.
Mama Kitty says to check out a couple more photos of her in her Photo Gallery. So for now she says Hasta Luego and come back soon. Hopefully my lazy people will have made some more posts about me soon (after all, it is all about ME)!
