Uggh! Now I feel like a big CAT-brat!! I really need to a-PAW-logize to Lordy. Sometimes my saucy attitude goes overboard! I really thought his bad dancin’ caused his leg to fall off. I may be a CAT-brat but I still have furry feelings ….. and I feel bad for Lordy. I am going to go hang out with him for awhile. He really is my buddy you know. But don’t go telling everyone I am some kinda big softie! I’m still Hobo Kitty….but I am Hobo Kitty with a heart. I know how to be Critter Kind and still be saucy and feisty. It’s a skill.

Boss Paws really knows what he’s talking about. I researched bone cancer online. I learned that it doesn’t have anything to do with Lordy’s TAIL-tankin’ dance techniques. It may be painful to watch Lordy try to dance sometimes but his dancing didn’t cause his bone cancer. It doesn’t seem like anyone really knows what causes bone cancer FUR sure. It looks like it can’t be prevented either. There are signs for bone cancer that sometimes may be noticed before it spreads too far. There are also different treatments for it. Here is a link to more information about bone cancer in dogs: http://www.bonecancerdogs.org/main/document/64

All right…Enough!

Hobo Kitty….Pay attention….Lordy wasn’t dancin’.

Even if he was dancin’…give him a break already!

He had the Critter Crud for paw’s sake!

The Critter Crud he’s been dealing with is some mean stuff called bone cancer.

You could get it Hobo Kitty….I could get it too....and it ain’t got nothin’ to do with dancin’!

Of course I noticed! I may only have one eye that works, but I can still see, and better yet, I can still count. 1-2-3 legs.

Lordy must have really “klutzed-out” this time! He is sportin’ 3 legs. I kept telling him that he needed some dancing lessons. They don’t call that stuff “Break-Dancing” for nothin’!!

Where did I leave off? Hmmmmm…oh I got it…the shot that made me fall asleep. Well, it was a good thing that the shot made me fall asleep because I sure wouldn’t have wanted to be awake when Dr. Mike did what he did. He poked around and did some cutting on my body while I was asleep. He called this “surgery.”

When I woke up, I was wobbly and lop-sided, but my leg didn’t hurt anymore. After I took a long look…..and I mean a loooooong look…. I could see why. My leg was GONE…not even kinda gone….but GONE – GONE! And my hip was super sore! You won’t believe this either, but Dr. Mike gave me a funny haircut while I was asleep. He shaved the hair on my hip in the shape of a square. You can see my skin! And there is this strange-looking string weaving through my skin right where my leg used to connect to my hip. Dr. Mike calls this string “stitches.” I knew that Hobo Kitty was going to have something crazy to say about this. I was hoping she wouldn’t notice.

Time to rest again.

Okay…I feel a little better now. Animal Gambill has been giving me some medicine and taking good Critter Care of me. The cats….well-l-l-l…I’ll tell you about them later.
Back to what happened after I felt the JAB-JAB pain in my leg…………..

Dr. Mike put me on a metal table and took a picture of me. I didn’t really feel like getting my picture taken, but that’s what he did. He didn’t want Animal Gambill in the picture with me though. The picture he took was really weird. It glowed in the dark and showed stuff inside my body. That’s when Dr. Mike told Animal Gambill that the Critter Crud was something called bone cancer. He said the bone cancer chewed up my leg and made it break. That is some mean Critter Crud!

He said that sometimes this bone cancer stuff can make dogs limp or show pain before it makes a leg break, but sometimes a dog may not show any signs of pain before it breaks. He also said this stuff could spread all over my body. Dr. Mike said there was no way to fix my leg. My leg had to go. Ruh-Roh!! Out came the thin, metal stick! You guessed it…a shot! BOW-WOWch!!!!

Yep…I Howled Out! Which is what I need to do now. For some reason, I get tired alot faster since the Critter Crud hit me.

I just got home from Dr. Mike’s place. I’m not sure what to think. Sometimes he talks with Animal Gambill and then we go on our furry way. Other times he puts these thin, sharp, metal sticks in me. Dr. Mike calls them “shots.” I may not be the brightest bone in the box, but I know why they are called “shots” – when they go inside me, it feels like I have been shot with something. BOW-WOWch!

Anyway, I still think Dr. Mike is a nice guy. He tries to make me feel better after he gives me the shots. He tells me the shots are to help me feel better (if I am sick) or (if I am not sick) he says the shots are part of my “check-up” to help me stay healthy.

Animal Gambill took me to see him earlier today because I felt like Critter Crud. I’m not sure what happened, but I felt this really huge JAB-JAB in my back leg and I dropped to the ground. This pain came out of nowhere! Really! If there is a place called “Nowhere” than that is where it came from. I don’t get it…but Dr. Mike got it. He got my Critter Crud. I’ll tell you more later, but I need to rest my body. My brain is tired too.

Hobo Kitty here.

I am looking FUR-ward to Bloggin’ about all kinds of critter stuff. I may even encourage a new rule or two that I think should be going down in the Critter Kingdom. I will re-FUR to each new rule as a “Rule of Paw” (since cats don’t have thumbs, I like “Rule of Paw” better than “Rule of Thumb”).

For example, first new “Rule of Paw” > no one can use the phrase “Copy Cat” anymore. What’s up with the phrase “Copy Cat?" I think cats are very creative and original. I should know… because I’m a cat. Cats don’t need to copy each other. We each have quite a critter cool mind of our own. I create all different kinds of sounds when I’m feeling MEOW-velous, mad, critter crazy, in pain and so on.

Did you know that cats can make more than 100 vocal sounds? Yep, we are critter cool like that! Dogs only make between 10 and 15 vocal sounds. You’ll never believe what all our cat sounds can tell you. Wanna find out? Take a look at this:

http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/our_pets_for_life_program/cat_behavior_tip_sheets/noisy_cats.html

What’s your cat been telling you? Shoot me an email. I always get furred up about learning what other cool cats are doing. Animal Gambill may even include your FUR-ific Feedback in the Bow-Wow Blast! newsletter.
