Feeling better after vet visit #2
Dec 01, 2023 8:44 pm
We went to the regular vet today. They did some chest x-rays and drew blood to test for pancreatitis. Results early next week. The X-rays revealed an arthritis hitch in her back. So, they did a laser pain therapy session on that and another water pack. She has definitely perked up and resumed normal eating and litter habits. The pain treatment is supposed to last 3 days.
Dec 01, 2023 8:43 pm
Waiting for the hospital discharge paperwork. Carrier, sweet carrier. Ziggy was happy to be loaded up and one step closer to heading home.
Nov 30, 2023 9:45 am
The cat loaf says she is done with this place. Urine and blood work looks good for a cat her age except blood sugar and dehydration. Blood sugar is in the same range as it has been for the last year and a half.
We are going to do a water pack and anti nausea meds. If that doesn't get her eating, then the vet believes she is having increased issues with diabetes and would need to start with insulin. Fingers crossed the hydration therapy works.
Nov 30, 2023 9:20 am
Thank you to Tallis for the Ziggy fan art! ?
Nov 30, 2023 8:41 am
Thinking of snappy comebacks for when the vet comes back....
Spoilers: it didn't work the new technician said Ziggy is now with "the tech who loves the spicy kitties".... Extensive blood work in progress to check kidneys and blood sugar issues, since she has both and they could be exasperated by her not eating much this week
Nov 30, 2023 7:28 am
At the ER vet with Ziggy this morning. She hasn't been feeling all week, with substantially reduced appetite and water intake. Hoping she is just dehydrated from a bad cold, wanted to get it dealt with quickly due to her age and kidney problems. She's still feisty, though! We very quickly went from "Ziggy is so cute!" to a delivery of Ziggy wrapped up in the towel from her carrier after they moved me to a private room. Vitals were good, no fever. Waiting for the vet shift change to complete.
Nov 30, 2023 6:41 am
When you were planning to take a sick day, but showed up for work anyhow because you're really not sure if your employee can work unsupervised.
Nov 29, 2023 1:08 pm
Ziggy is spending the morning in a closet cubby. She hasn't been feeling well, vet appointment made for Friday. We are hoping it is just a cold, since she started sneezing last night.

Nighttime guard duty in the garage. After Ziggy clearly disapproved of the loaner car, it is sleeping outside. After all, she has a 100% accuracy rating for finding mice. Catdad's car will be home from the shop on Monday. Swipe to see a little cat waiting and watching..... Our diligent guard.

Happy 4th gotcha day to Ziggy - who is extra fabulous today with her cardboard bling (see first picture) . 4 years ago, at the age of 11 1/2, a sweet Ziggle joined us from the Cat Care Society , where she was in solitary due to an inability to get along with others (the Meow Mart - 2nd and 3rd pictures are from adoption day in 2019). While she was hissy and bitey, I could just sense she was my cat. She hissed at her Catdad for 2 days until he started giving her treats every night, and they have been best friends since. Looking forward to many more fun years with our senior sweetie!

Oct 28, 2023 1:39 pm
People always marvel that Ziggy goes out in the snow. She walks out willingly... even asks to go out ... and it's her idea to end up with a belly covered in snow. She has lots of fur between her toes and many many layers of undercoat fur, so it doesn't bother her And she has spent the past 4 years with this crazy person who also likes to frolic in the snow.

@besarmerah - in complete contrast to all the crazy flooding by you, it is hot and dry near Denver. I took a walk around the neighborhood this afternoon - hot sun, warm wind. Just over 22 C. Poor Ziggy has been getting her winter coat. She can't help that, so she is inside with the air conditioning during the hottest part of the day. There was a time when our fire season ended in early September as storms with rain and snow blew through. That was years ago. Things have changed. Now, we are only halfway through wildfire season, and it may be December or January before we get enough precipitation for peace of mind. But there are still flowers blooming! Swipe to last 2 pictures.

Home from the vet! Ziggy is sitting in the living room, bewildered by how quickly that trip went. This was her third arthritis shot, so no vet needed - the technician was able to do her shot within minutes. And it was lucky we had that option! Due to animals who came in with infectious diseases, they had closed 2 rooms for sanitation, and the lobby was full of dogs waiting for their appointments. So, Ziggy was very happy when the technician whisked her away. Her arthritis shots really seem to be helping. So nice to see her doing zoomies again.

Bulbs! The bulbs I ordered this summer from High Country Gardens have arrived! There are two of everything - one set for each planter. I knew I needed to get mulch, but it turns out I need more dirt and peat moss, too. So, the bulbs for the second planter will have to wait. Of course, my diligent supervisor provided oversight to the operations.

Dreaming of warm sunny skies in Mexico. I assume they will migrate within a couple of weeks.
Sep 11, 2023 9:12 am
Good morning! All 3 baby birds were huddled on the porch this morning. One went for a fly. The other 2 had breakfast brought to them. The 53 deg weather (11.6 deg C) is probably making them wish they were ready to migrate to Mexico. It should be warmer tomorrow. And we still have a cat. With all the fuss over the birds, she wants to make sure we remember.

I have gotten questions on what one does with 78 peaches. Here's the recipe for anyone who wants it -
I freeze the slices for eating or using in recipes later. If the peaches aren't too ripe, I can peel them like a potato, which preserves them differently than blanching. I slice them up, put them on a baking sheet with some sugar sprinkled on them. Put them in our freezer to freeze, then put the slices in freezer storage bags. They have lasted as long as 2 years that way. And remember to use a pot holder when taking the metal pan out of the freezer.

Quick and easy trip to the vet.....says the human. We got another monthly shot of the feline pain relief for arthritis. Ziggy has been more active over the past couple of weeks, so hopefully, it is helping. Or...
Ziggy was forcibly kidnapped from under the bed with treats used AS A TRAP to get her to come out. Stuffed in a carrier. Weighed. Stabbed with a needle. Allowed to retreat back to the carrier. Ended up home after a terrifying car ride where a rock hit the windshield. ( from the human: small pebble, no damage)
No matter how you tell the story, we are home and all is well.

Waiting for Catdad. It was an unusual morning... First time I had to clean up pee in a random place in the house... My poor little old lady was embarrassed. She's 15 1/2, so these things happen. But to make matters more unusual, her Catdad had an early doctor's appointment and left. So, Ziggy is keeping watch in the garage over the door where his car is supposed to be. I told her his disappearance had nothing to do with her accident, but I am not sure she believes me.

Layers and layers of fluff. It is 59 degrees (15 C) this morning, and I am going to have to drag the cat loaf inside now that we have been sitting on the deck for over an hour. Why? She is impervious to cold weather! Ziggy has multiple under coat layers (see after brushing pictures posted in the past) so she makes a toasty loaf! She could sit out in the cold rainy weather forever, but her human needs to go inside.

The swallows are definitely back in the nest. I checked with the wildlife rehabilitator, who confirmed that they will have another set of eggs this summer before migrating. Sadly, my little buddy didn't make it - he died after either malnutrition from being rejected as the runt or his 9 1/2 foot fall from the nest onto a concrete step. Or both. His older brother is doing fine, flying around a cage with 2 finches ahead of his release into the wild. In memory of my little buddy, there is now a cushion underneath the nest....just in case any of the new babies end up making the same belly flop out of the nest. Yeah, the towel is the real deal from Long Island a long long time ago.

Her blood glucose is holding steady at 349 and weight has stabilized at her target 15.6 pounds. We are trying a monthly feline arthritis pain reliever shot to see if that helps her mobility. Otherwise, all good!

Swallows story - Part 2
It turns out she recently finished raising and released some swallows. She has one left from that group, but she thinks he is lonely, so adding these two will be good for all of them. And that was it. Had nice weather and sparse traffic for the drive home. I cleaned up the stuff and camera I had sitting on the front porch, hoping to give a visual queue to the parents that the babies were gone. It must have worked. The parent swallows were quite loud this morning but haven't been back. Hope the babies grow up strong with Aurora's help!
Jul 28, 2023 6:50 am
3 hours round trip last night to the south side of Colorado Springs. Mike's aunt sparked an idea of trying to find a rehabilitator for the swallows. After reading online about the complexity of their diet and their rusk of vitamin deficiencies, I was definitely on the same page. Unfortunately, finding a baby bird during the summer is like finding a kitten during kitten season - all the local certified rehabilitators were full. So, my calls fanned out with a request for more leads on people to call. I spoke with a lady named Allison in Colorado Springs. It was an old style landline and answering machine, where she picked up after I started to leave a message. She asked me what kind of bird they were. "Swallows? Are you sure?" I explained that the parents are outside my front door but they had stopped feeding the babies, apparently convinced they should be flying...but their feathers aren't in. "Oh," she said, crestfallen. "Swallows are hard. You should call Aurora. If she can't take them, try Nancy." Numbers were given. Messages left. Just as I was making dinner, I got a text from Aurora: "I can take the swallows, if you can bring them." We agreed I would drive them as soon as we finished dinner. I fed them some halved meal worms before we left. No radio, air conditioning low because the babies do better at around 77-78 degrees (25 C). The older one chatted with me the whole way, especially every time we hit a bump in the road. I stopped just past half way for more worms. I have no idea how much to feed a baby bird at a time. They are like little black holes, but I have worried about over feeding and gumming up their gutty works. Pulling off the highway into the neighborhood, it was nice. Trees, fields, everything green, birds everywhere. I parked in front of her house. There was a little old woman already out front holding a cloth, wearing a bright blue shirt. I brought the boxes out of the front seat and she took the birds out. I thanked her for taking them because I have been very worried about them. In a gravelly Mexican accent she thanked me for driving all that way while admonishing me for them being hungry. They could have died.

Bird update:
Both fledglings spent the night in the upstairs bathroom, all warm and safe and snuggled together. The more developed sibling is back outside with his parents and has been fed. He went back out around 6:20 am this morning. The parents were already flying around looking for him. The rejected bird, Ziggy, and I got some sunbeaming time after breakfast. I told Ziggy she is the best Ziggle in the whole world....so well behaved, hanging out with the baby bird. Now, my smallest coworker and I are in the office.
..
Jul 27, 2023 6:17 am
Doing a lot of things one handed today. The smaller less developed bird that took a belly flop from the nest to the concrete step was rejected by his mother this afternoon. Once I saw on the video that she was refusing to feed him and was biting his tail feathers to force him away, I brought him inside, gave him some water with an eye dropper. After work, I picked up meal worms at PetSmart. After a few false starts, those have been well received. I have been cutting them in thirds and feeding him via tweezers. We're slowly getting the hang of it. He likes to refuse to eat and then start fussing for food as soon as I go to do something else. By the 5th or 6th time, I was like "you're doing that on purpose". I have no idea if he is injured or will survive the night, but it's worth a try. Definitely not ready to fly yet. The other bird is being well-attended by his parents. That one seems to be close to trying to fly.
Jul 26, 2023 6:00 pm
Whew.... Mom just stopped by
Jul 26, 2023 12:07 pm
Swallows update: I got the babies bottled water with a dropper since they had been sitting on the step a couple of hours. One of them was really thirsty. Moved them from the plate to the nest we bought. Mom and dad are trying to figure out next steps. They seem too young to fly, but neither wanted to go back in the nest. I have a camera on them so I can monitor needs for assistance.

Stress stress. Development in the swallow nest. One of these guys was in the concrete and the other was being strangled by a hair , dangling outside the nest. I used gloves to rescue him. Really not sure if I just inherited 2 swallow babies or if they are old enough to be out of the nest.
Update: I can see the parents fussing over them on the front door camera.

This picture is actually from 3:30 am this morning.... I guess the coyotes were outside again? I woke up at 3:30 am to find a very stressed and sleepy cat in the bedroom doorway. She was facing the hallway, in full guard mode, loafed out to block the door. My diligent little guard. After checking the house and security cameras, I put on a light near the kitchen. She slinked cautiously down the hallway to get something to eat. I sat down in the dining room, and she passed out on the cushion. Sweetest guard cat. My little Ziggle. I sat with her a while before going back to bed.

Moth caught, moth accidentally released. Ziggy found the moth and caught him again. But the word of the day is "confidence". She wasn't sure she had caught the moth, so she lifted her paw up just a little bit to check. It was enough... the moth escaped again and flew out to the field.
May 24, 2023 11:19 am
A moth was lost. It just escaped the basement. It came shooting out and went right past us!

Very cool having "front row" seats to Bandimere Speedway! (Top fuel car racing) Unless you're Ziggy. Ziggy has not been as enthralled with the "Night of Fire and Thunder". We can see the track from our upper deck. Swipe for cool (or scary) videos.
May 20, 2023 8:09 pm
The neighbors have two small dogs... specifically, smaller than Ziggy... who they leave outside in a small pen. They have been seen. They have been judged. Fortunately, they didn't realize they were under feline surveillance.

UPDATE: Vet visit for Ziggy's semi-annual check up is complete, and we are home. Got blood and urine no issue. Blood sugar at 287, so even lower than last time (387 in Nov, 340 in Feb) - am getting more of the diabetic food. She has also lost another 2 lb since February. So, down 5.4 lb since October. Getting to be a skinny old lady given her size . We are keeping an eye on her weight loss, since it has accompanied behaviors that started last summer where she hugs her water bowl, lays her cheek in it, and bats it around.

Ziggy's not talking to me right now. At the vet for her semi-annual senior check-up.

Fantastic day at the PMI Mile Hi Chapter 's symposium yesterday! I had my own little book store in the morning, got to see tons of friends, gave an hour class on project manager excellence to a room full of about 100 people (Kristen Rogne was helping me, and she had to turn people away at the door!), and I sold 30 books... half project management, half fuzzy cat. Couldn't have asked for more from that event! Very worthwhile day! I even got a PMI challenge coin as a thank you gift.

When we bought the house, the builder had landscaped the front yard, but the sides and back have been mud. Part 1 of our landscaping plan is to install a new deck in the
back yard. It will come out from the basement door and wrap around the back of the house. (Foundation warranty and HOA rules are that we can't change
the grade of the dirt, and it is a pretty steep slope, so we are going over the top with a deck in order to get some usable level ground)

Happy Tongue Out Tuesday! Ziggy gave the vet tech hell, earning herself a quick trip back to her carrier. Blood draw complete! All is well. Her blood sugar is still elevated, but not so much she needs insulin. We will continue with her special diet.
Jan 31, 2023 1:19 pm
Snuggle or restraint? Swipe to see ...
And the answer is restraint. A slow standoff at the vet between someone who wants Ziggy to complete her blood work and someone who voted no.
Jan 31, 2023 12:10 pm
At the vet - Ziggy has lost weight! She's down to 17.5 lb from being as heavy as 21.4 lb. (In the picture, wiggling weight is 17.7 lb )
Jan 31, 2023 11:59 am
Cold shoulder.... I guess we're not talking. At the vet for a blood sugar recheck

Thanks to my brother for stopping by and helping with the basement shelves! Was great to have a short visit. The shelves passed inspection. The piles of stuff that I moved to make room for the shelves did not pass inspection. I told the inspector not to worry....more organization is coming soon! Swipe to see Ziggy's full inspection.
