Tama-Chan Tuesday


Tama-Chan: It has been over two weeks since I got sick and I would like to start by thanking all of you for your continued purrs and crossed paws. They bring great comfort both to me and to #1 (she has been a complete basket case...).

So, what is the latest? Well, it is increasingly looking like my heart is not functioning quite as it should. I have started taking both diuretics (Furosemide) and a heart support medication (Benazepril). At the moment, we are still working on adjusting the dosage of the Furosemide, and the Benazepril will take some time to kick in, but I do seem better overall. I am still getting coughing episodes but outside of these, I am pretty much acting like a healthy cat, enjoying being brushed and asking #1 to play with the laser pointer!


And even giving #1 the occasional bitey!


But she still gives me scritches!


The weather has been nice and I have really been enjoying the sunpuddles:


I occasionally turn on the lasers if the boys need to be kept in check:


I am still Queen after all!

The rest of the time, I look angelic...

 
We don't know if things will ever be quite the same again, but I know I am in good hands between #1 and Dr. C.
