Well, for my Saturday art I am showing you my White Badge of Courage which was GLUED to me yesterday (that same “me” having been shaved nude in the area!) to monitor my glucose for two weeks, whatever that means…
I have been told (but it’s probably hearsay) that this little disc will drop off in two weeks of its own accord. HAH!
I’ll believe that when I see it on the floor instead of on my precious little bod!
So, that’s all the news fit to print, folks. Saturday’s sharing…
Jabbed with arthritis pain manager, sporting my new, chic badge, hey, what more can any kitty ask, haha?
But being at a vet—–
—and who was this dude anyway? Just because he was black and white, he came over to chat. No way, Jose. I don’t talk to total strangers!
I’m now sulking under a piece of furniture and glowering at THEM.
Still, I know it’s for my own good but a convenient glower keeps them in line, haha.
And for a great article from the NYT…
If you can’t open it, I’ll send it to anyone interested. It’s about the insect-repelling qualities of catnip and siver vine and that kitties protect themselves from insects by rubbing it on their bodies! Maybe it would work for mama, haha. Although they tend to bite papa, not mama.
Maybe she’s too ornery, haha.
We have fresh nip growing wildly in our yard…yup, left overs from our kitty years…so maybe instead of giving it to the neighbor’s kitty, I shall use it my self! OMC!
That kind of implanted glucose monitor is becoming quite common for the humans, and now it seems for furry ones too. Way better than all those pricks to check the blood glucose levels. I sure hope it works well for you!
I m happy to read that your arthritic ouchies are abating too. Wow, wish Pipo could have benefited from that, back in the day…
Oh, I wish that, too. And yes, the monitor is MUCH better than blood from an EAR. Holy tamale, mama wasn’t about to do THAT, and my little ears are so, well, little!
oh LouLou you sweetheart you are one BRAVE kitty!! I am so sorry you are going through all of this and special (((hugs))) to your pawrents!
Well, yes, we would all like it to remiss…whatever that is. But…
Loulou, I’ve heard about those monitors but you’re the first cat that I know that has one. Hopefully it will help you. ~Ernie
Today they set it in action, we HOPE. Papa’s phone is suppose to record my sugar and send it to the vet. Techie time.
We think you are furry courageous indeed – and you don’t need a badge to prove it!
It’s a pity you can’t push the button and have them bring treats on demand, though.
Now – there’s a thought…
WOW, and a very creative one, too, MERCI. Hmmm…I know a techie who might look into this…
Bummer that you have to wear that but we hope it does what it’s supposed to (and falls off when it should).
Yes, would that other things would fall off easily like that….like a few grams extra, etc.
Well Loulou you look like you’re all kitted out with a monitor to make sure your glucose is in range and a shot for pain and we are hoping that the fact you’re acting like you feel better is a FOR REAL thing that stays! Pain makes us cranky and not want to eat and we don’t want that any more than our humans do so here’s to all of this working for you dear friend…..!!
Hugs, Teddy
Oh, Ted. Ted, so smart in the head, merci for your thoughts and yes, I am BETTER and sometimes rolling around the way I used to and yes, if things doesn’t drop off I’m going to have mama stick some rhinestones on it like a broach, whatever that is. Now if only this thing works with the iPhone tomorrow!
I will talk to you!!!! But glad you were in the cage or he would be a bloody mess, LOL
That doggy was BEEG!!! Even mama and papa backed away!
I am sorry you have to have that on you, but I am sure it will help you. I just read about that on another blog. I plan to rub some on me next time I have to be outside. XO
Rub a little on your mama, too, so the bugs won’t bite.
Poor you Loulou, you’re going through a lot lately and we’re all sending you purrs and hugs.
Well, I thank you, and yes, it’s – what do they say – challenging, haha. BUT I’m not talking any longer about this and am staying positive about the future. Plus I’ve pretty much said it all…it’s just those vet visits with BIG dogs I don’t like. STRESSE.
GoshLouLou, we didn’t know you had to have a monitor stuck on you ! Good thing it wasn;t THIS kind of monitor

How long before you can tell if your arthritis jab helps ?
OMC…that guy wouldn’t stick to my fur too well! The jab should kick in sometime before the next one in a month. But the vet says that the second one really knocks it up a notch! And I am playing and rolling around, which I was NOT doing for a couple of months!
Loulou, our cat blog friend I Have Three Cats: http://ihavethreecats.blogspot.com/
also had a glucose monitor attached to a kitty, and I believe I’ve read that they are developing a somewhat permanent one (like the one that humans use!).
No one likes to have a prick to get a drop of blood to test, especially a kitty.
Enjoy being home again, Loulou.
I think humans alreaday have these monitors because mama read that they are very hard to get off on anthros…takes an hour sometimes! Mine drops off in two weeks, THEY tell me…I’ll believe it when I see it. We’re trying to hook it up to our iPhone, whatever that is, and all we have to do is pass the phone over it and it tells what my glucose is. Whew, this stuff is too complicated for me. I just know that I feel a bit better already from the arthritis shot. Thank you for the info.
yoo poor fing! duz it ring fur da elabator too if yoo push da button? yoo deserb many many treetz fur dat. pee ess we habz catnip and citronella growing on owr patio
HAHA, that’s funny. Mama said just this morning that she thinks I should meow if she pushes the button! But I don’t even feel it and it falls off in two weeks. WE HOPE.
