Monsta!

Posted on July 3, 2015 by onespoiledcat

I think that might be the way people in Maine would say “monster” don’t you? Maybe? Anyway, it’s MONSTA day. I’m ready. I have TWO plans for how to deal with it. One involves being brave (not likely but possible) and the other involves being a wienie (more likely and probable).

My doctor says I should do what makes me FEEL good when it comes to the MONSTA.

What would make me feel good is if the Monsta lived in the closet and never made another appearance but that’s not gonna happen SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO………..watch out dust bunnies and old ginger kitty cat!

Once things quiet down I’ll be back out being a pest – I’ll admit it – the last few days I’ve not had much of my medication even though Mom has spoiled me even more than my usual “spoil” with ham and ham gravy baby food, chicken and sweet potato baby food, and turkey and turkey gravy baby food……..even my old FORMER favorite, strawberry yogurt. I’ve turned my nose up at ALL of it. I can tell she’s hiding that dingy dangy pill in there SOMEWHERE. Anyway, when I haven’t had my meds in a few days I get RESTLESS………..I scream more……….I pop up in Mom’s lap (at my insistence in the first place that she sit down IMMEDIATELY) and stay for approximately 2 minutes and 23 second before I pop back off and head somewhere ELSE to scream for something. Pest? Yeah I think that just about describes me. I know – I know – I hear you lecturing me already…..”you have to take your pills Sammy”………”please take your pill Sammy”……..honest, I am trying to cooperate but…………………SO Mom will talk to the vet guy about transdermal meds – I’ll have to go to the vet in the next couple of weeks for my 4 month thyroid check anyway.

I’m such a little devil aren’t I ??????

Anywho…………after cleaning today not sure what my parents are gonna do……….hopefully it won’t disturb my nap. Snoopervising cleaning is exhausting.

Yes Mom….we know how you feel about it all…..

Hugs, Sammy

do you think we could call the ghost busters? or are monsta’s not their business? I hope you can solve that pill-problem, sometimes nothing works with that pills… not even cheese or lobster :o)

  Gosh, Mom hasn’t tried lobster yet but she loves lobster and I’m SURE I would too. Maybe I can talk her into that……….wish me luck. Meanwhile the monsta is about to come out of the closet and tear up my house and my peace and quiet! I don’t think ghost busters messes with dust bunnies – maybe they’re too smart to take on those big bad bunnies!

Sparkle was actually easier to pill than to give her her meds transdermally! And can you believe that Binga is easier to dose by injection than by pilling? We kitties all have our preferences – I hope the transdermal works better for you!

I cannot believe you’re being stubborn and pesty, buddy. Transdermal sounds pretty foolproof, so maybe that’s the answer. For me ANY of those baby food or the yogurt would be an AMAZING answer!!

Hmmm.. it will be interesting if the transdermal meds work, Sammy. I use them for my ticker and it is all good. We just want you to take you meds some way some how! I know it would be a great relief to your Mom. It is not suppose to rain today so CH and I are going to jump in our vehicle and take a day trip… yay! Just head for your couch in the basement, hopefully your Mom has a tent for you to slip under and before you know it, the vakoom will be over and done and back in the closet! Hugs and scritches!

I think my mum must have forgotten it’s Friday because no Monsta yet! She says she has lost track of the days since she went on holiday.
Can you have your pill crushed and mixed with a little water? I am good for taking pills but mum started doing it like that to make it easier for my holiday aunties to just put it in my mouth with a syringe. She is going to keep doing it like that because it is so much easier. I know your pills are slow release and mine aren’t, but it might be better than no pill.
I had my first heart and kidney protection pill today and when mum crushed it she said it smelled like malt. She gave it mixed with the pred in a syringe and I was looking for more! It was really tasty.

  We’ve never done a syringe…..I’m a very squirmy guy but Mom is thinking she may have to go that route…..My pill is quite “stinky” and it’s tough to hide it even in the food that I love (baby food!). We’ll keep trying…..we’re just so happy that you’re OK with your pills and feeling better – THAT makes us happy!!

  Hi Siddhartha! I know – I’ve been really bad about my pill lately. I won’t eat yogurt or baby food – but once in a while Mom can get a PART of a pill down me. We’ll see if a PART keeps me in good range on my blood work – I will be going to the vet soon. Meanwhile, I like your idea of a STEAK of my very own! HAHAHAHA I have a plan for the fireworks – under the bed! I also am kind of glad my hearing isn’t so good any more….that helps a LOT with noise!
