Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008A Nice Phone Call
Mom's phone rang and she said, "It's some lady for you." Huh? The woman said hi, this is xxxxx with the vet's office. My heart nearly stopped! (The last time I got a call from the vet's office when I was out of town it led to a $900+ surgical bill!) She said, "Persia and Peaches just wanted me to call to see how you're doing!" I laughed (and heaved a huge sigh of relief). I've been calling a couple of times a week anyway but it was sweet of her to call me. She said they've been giving Persia the run of the cat room whenever possible, and playing with her, so she's getting plenty of exercise. Then she said they tried putting her up front in a large enclosure so she'd have some extra stimulation but "Boy does she talk a lot!" So that didn't quite work out as planned. Oh, and Hill's is discontinuing her prescription (x/d) food. It will be available through June. There's some other something that will be available for the animals who currently need x/d.

Speaking of Miss Persia, have you figured out what your plans are, yet? I know it's really still way too soon to leave; especially when you just got your mom eating better and all. In any case, give your mom a hug and let us know anything tentative. :~) kili "kilikini" ... >> Mom's phone rang and she said, "It's some lady for you." Huh?

My heart nearly [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > kili I agree with Kili, it was nice of the vet's office to call you:) I was so mad at the 'vet' when our beloved Mutt, age 19, who went to RB 'on his own' last Dec 9. He was such a sweetheart, but our normal vet was closed on Monday's so we took his poor remains to another 'vet' who charged us $50 for a simple cremation, and we didn't even get a sympathy card from them. I was so sad at the time, I was really tempted to call the 'brisk recptionists' at that office and give them a piece of my mind, but DH needed so much comforting, I never got around to it. Some 'hoomis' can be really heartless. Our vet is really wonderful, and I trust him with Mosey, who goes in for a check-up next month. Please keep us posted on Persia and Peaches HUG Kyla --still hissed off at TED :/ > Mom's phone rang and she said, "It's some lady for you." Huh?

And I love how Persia talks so much. -- Will in New Haven May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door. - Irish blessing > Jill >> I've been calling a couple of times a week anyway but it was sweet >> of her to call me.

(But don't give me a heart attack, hi, this is the vet's office calling. Yikes!) When Persia first acquired me the vet told me he thought she could be half Siamese, even though her blue fur and green eyes are dominant. I have no idea how he got that impression since she was certainly silent during that checkup! BUT, given her talkative nature and slightly raspy voice (and boy can she get loud!) it wouldn't surprise me one bit :) Jill >>> I've been calling a couple of times a week anyway but it was sweet >>> of her to call me.

Glad she found someone to call her mommy for her. Jo >>>> I've been calling a couple of times a week anyway but it was sweet >>>> of her to call me.

This was her a few months later: http://tinyurl.com/36low9 I couldn't tell you if there was anything distinctly Siamese about her or not. She has some characteristics of a Russian Blue (the almost indiscernible black rings around her tail, for example). She's a lonnng cat (which I think Siamese are?) but she got hefty, too :) Jill >>>>> I've been calling a couple of times a week anyway but it was sweet >>>>> of her to call me.

They are an exaggeration of the breed. Many people prefer the ones that are a bit heavier and have more rounded heads. When we got Jake, we were really looking for a blue point (lighter color) kitten, but when we saw their parents, the size of them flat scared me off. The Tom easily was eighteen pounds and all muscle. The Queen was nearly as large and was still recovering from a litter of kittens. I've got nothing against large cats, but didn't want to risk one that size with a hefty dose of attitude to go with it. Jo
