Uh oh! I know that look. Andy’s zoomies are kicking in.
I better stay in my chair. This is serious!
Wow! Faster than a smartphone camera, Andy’s made the rounds at top speed and returned to the recliner! One of these days, I hope I catch him on video!
Someone’s adrenalin level’s still up!
Now what?
Yes, it’s Greenies time! (Hint! Hint!)
=(^+^)=
It’s a good thing Andy knows how to amuse himself when I’m gone from home because today I have an appointment in Scottsbluff to have an angioplasty on my dialysis fistula. It is a routine procedure anyone with one of these experiences periodically. It is done under anesthesia, is a procedure I’ve never had any problems with. Once again, my friend Terry has agreed to take me to the hospital, and I appreciate his willingness to do this! Unfortunately, I can’t drive myself because of the anesthesia. I will leave Andy well supplied with Greenies, kitty food (dry and wet), and water. Weather is supposed to be nice so he should get some good birdwatching done while I’m gone!
A year ago, Dougy (on left) and Andy watched birds out the back window where there is a fir tree and two apple trees that are very appealing to small birds of many species. For fans of the kitty boys who like the full Persian look, here you go! People who have Persian kitties know that look comes with lots of daily maintenance that neither Andy nor Dougy especially liked me to do. Mats are a chronic and tricky problem to do without upsetting the kitty boy.
You caught Andyu well today, Doug.
Nice to them both together now and then, sad of course, but memory prompting.
Cheers!
Thanks! Sometimes I luck out!
First, that’s hard to have to undergo anesthesia every time. Glad your system can take it OK. Also, it looks like the kitty boys had been brushing up on their birds (the book) before watching them out the window!
Yes, I leave the field guide there for kitty use, too! LOL! (It’s just a local, though I handle anesthesia with no problems, thankfully.)
I was going to say I hope it goes well, but by reading the above comments I see it did. 🙂
Yes! An excellent doctor and nurses staff at that radiology exploration department have my undying gratitude!
We hope your procedure goes safely and well and Andy isn’t too bored at home ! Purrs !
Wishing you the best, these special days and afterwards. You are si courageous !Amitiés 🙂
Thank you, Marylou! The same for you and your kitty!
Thinking of you and sending best wishes for a successful procedure, Doug. Zoomies are always fun to experience but you are right, best to stay out of the way!
LOL! Yes! The procedure went without incident, and actually took less time than usual, always a nice thing to happen!
We know about the zoomies at my house. 🙂
The more cats, the more one needs to be prepared to step out of the way! It isn’t as bad now with just one cat, but when Dougy was with us, the two kept the zoomies up for a very long time till Andy had to call it quits. (He has a heart murmur.)
Here Frankie and Floki chace each other around the house. Frankie chases Floki and then Floki chases Frankie. The cycle continues until both of them are pooped.
LOL! In the happier days with Dougy here, too, that would be the standard operating procedure for zoomies. I miss that, but Andy does a credible solo zoomie, too.
That is too bad he is missing his zoomie partner.
Yes, we both miss that play time with Dougy.
We’ll see you back here tomorrow, Doug! Be well.
The procedure to open up the restriction in my dialysis fistula was not only a success, the procedure took about an hour less from start to finish to do.
And thank you, Terry, for driving Doug to and from the hospital today! 🙂
I am blessed with some really nice friends, Lavinia, and the word “blessed” barely covers it!
All of us here are wishing you the best with angioplasty today, Doug. We’ll be thinking of you, and little Andy, who will be wondering where you are off to today.
Those are a great series of pictures, Doug! Cats have a few different “looks” they give us, including the Look of Doom and the Look of Zoom! 🙂
It went fast and was a success!
Courage , Doug , for the angioplasty . I got it three time since 2018. and tomorrow I have to go for a Doppler of my fiStula.
I will think of you and Andy
In friendship
Michel
I think this is my third since 2018, too. I presume you are talking about a doppler ultrasound, which is used to determine blood flow through the fistula. Does this mean you are about to get a new fistula? Anyway, bonne chance!
good luck for your appointment… and don’t furget the greenies for the good boy who knows how to get fun ;O)
He got a copious sample before and after. Mustn’t have an upset kitty boy!
