Donna's O.T.'s Friends
Bandit is a White
and gray tiger
with a Valentine Heart on his left
shoulder. One cool cat. He is 13 years
old (born August 1985 and he is
my older brother. I, Smokey am 11 years
young (born August 1987) and part Persian
and Maine Coon
Cat. We sure do make Mom's day,we start
between 5 & 6AM. The Paper man makes
noise and wakes us up and besides that
we are on a diet,so we're hungry. But
she loves us. Bandit was born in the
mountains of Harrisburg. Pa. Mom's
friend brought him to her at age 3
months, she tells me he was so cute. He
is a little more independent than I am.
I came along in 1987 at 6 weeks of age,
a bundle of fur. I came from a shelter.
Mom likes to save shelter cats.
Unfortunately we live in an Apt. so Mom
is limited as to how many we can
have. Bandit
and I are both males, but Bandit played
Mommy to me, tried to carry me in his
mouth and cleaned and took care of me.
We love each other. Bandit thinks he is
a dog, at least he eats like one. Slurps
it all up including what I leave. Mom
has to put some of my food on the
counter where he can't jump to get it.
He weighed 23 pounds last year and was
put on a diet and lost 7 pounds. I'm
cool, I eat like a cat, only what I
need. Mom just realized that there is
really a pecking order with us. I won't
eat until Bandit comes in and when it
comes to the treats, I sit and wait till
he gets there, cause he is first. Course
Mom sometimes gives me a few more. Mom
went on a vacation in March and left us
in the care of her friend Eleanor. She
would come down and feed us in the
morning(she made us wait til at least
9am) and then again around 6pm. We are
spoiled and did not like to wait, but we
had no choice. Eleanor likes Bandit the
best(guess cause I am a little uppity)
That's ok. Mom was gone 10 days so we
finally got used to the schedule. We
just laid in bed all day, no one to
bother us. It was great and I know Mom
was glad to get away from us for a
while. She could sleep better. Well
Mom's home now and we are getting her up
at 5am again. Then she locks us out of
the room and goes back to sleep. As long
as our tummies are full we are ok for a
bit. Oops, got to go, it's snack time.
Golly gee. Mom and I just found out
that
Bandit has a kidney problem. The Dr.
came to the apt. to check him out. He
was drinking a lot of water and going
alot. Doc. took blood from Bandit(had to
sedate him). While he was under, he had
the tartar taken off his teeth and his
nails clipped. Doc and Mom finally
caught me and cut my nails. I don't like
that. Bandit is now on a special diet
and takes Potassium. Of course I try to
taste his food.(not bad). Mom has to sit
with us to make sure Bandy eats his and
not mine. We still get her up at 5AM. We
like to switch bowls. I hope he is okay.
He is still playful and seems a little
better???? Doc will be back in July to
check him out again. Guess what???
Doc didn't come back in July because Mom
went into the hospital cause she was
having trouble breathing. It is called
COPD.To read about COPD visit OLIVIJA'S WEBPAGES Mom was in the hospital 4 weeks and in
rehab for 2 more weeks. She is feeling
better now, but using oxygen until she
gets stronger. I like to play with the
long tubing. Haha. Aunt Eleanor took
care of us again. She is so nice and she
really loves us. I am not so uppity with
her now, so she rocks me in the rocking
chair. Now that Mom is home we are back
to eating early, but at 6:30 instead of
5AM. We missed sleeping in bed with Mom.
Every day she gets a little bit
stronger. Bandit is doing pretty good
with his special Kidney Diet. He likes
it and so do I. Bandit didn't feel
too well this week and the Doctor had to
come back. Wasn't eating or drinking
much. He gave him a needle to make him
groggy and then drew blood for testing.
Ugh. Doc tried to catch me, but I was
hiding under the sofa and it's too heavy
to move. Haha. As soon as I heard the
phone from downstairs and Mom shaking
the Pounce Treats, I knew to run and
hide. Mom says they are going to get me
next time. I don't believe them.
More later... Well, we made it to the year
2000. Now Bandit isn't feeling well at
all. His Kidney Disease is making him
not eat and he is losing sooo much
weight. Poor Bandy. Mom is giving him
anything that he can eat. He does a
little bit of Bumble Bee Tuna, but gets
too tired to finish, so of course I try
to eat it. Mom is really upset. It is
very sad to see him like this.
Meow.. Sorry to say our Bandit went over the Rainbow Bridge on 1/29/2000. Mom and I go to Angels Bridge to visit him. We will always love him and we will miss him
very much. Mom is very sad. Me too, there is no one for me to play with like Bandit and I used to do. Mommy met a new friend from Germany, Gisela, she raises Burmese Cats. Meow, they are sooooo purrrty. Gisela put Bandit and Me on her page 2 of
Furiends under her links. Mom has a another new friend, Eve Riser-Roberts and she put Bandit on her page 6 of the Cat Gallery and I am on page 3 of the Cat Gallery Guess what? Mom got an email from Donna who knew Steve, Arthur and Barry when they were much younger (1980's), she is an artist too. Donna has a cat website called Tom_Cat and we are on O.T.'s Friends Page....... Mommy just got an email from GotPetsOnline.com putting my photo on their website for Maine Coon Cats. Gee, I do look pretty under my trusty umbrella. hope you like it...... To see

And dreams that could come true,
I would pray to God, with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.
A thousand prayers can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried,
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart,
And happy memories too,
But I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
