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......
