Binky wants to say hello to all of you!

[RevCheesehead]

From Binky:

Hi everybody. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers and good wishes this week. I was at the vet's from Friday until Monday, when Mommy picked me up. I'm still very tired and weak, and don't feel much like eating. Mommy still has to give me medicine that I hate, and she puts fluid under my skin to keep me hydrated. I spend most of my time in my crate, hiding from Oreo and staying safe in a confined space.

It's so good to be home!

Love, Binky.

From Ruth: Thank you all, so very much. She's looking much better than she was last week. Not 100%, but she's getting there.
To all of you,

1. Hi Binky!

And Binky's mommy

[RevCheesehead]

2. Hi, Ms. Pie!

[NMDemDist2]

3. glad BinkyBaby is getting better

and good for her for having such a good mommy

[RevCheesehead]

4. Aww, aren't you sweet!

[Wetzelbill]

5. hey Binky

Glad you're better!

PS.
your mommy has a crush on me.

[RevCheesehead]

7. Me-owww!

[lizziegrace]

6. I was thinking about you and Binky last night!

I'm so glad she's doing well.

[RevCheesehead]

8. Hi, lizzie!

She ain't 100%, but she's a hell of a lot better than she was!

[lizziegrace]

9. If you're like me (and I know you are)

you'll take what you can get as long as they're not in pain. to you both.

[RevCheesehead]

12. In all honesty, I was ready to let her go on Friday.

But the vet was very encouraging, and said she thought Binky would have a good chance for recovery, provided she survived the anesthesia. When she told me she made it out of surgery, I was in tears. And then she told me that she wanted to make sure she was OK, and took her home with her that night!

Now, it feels like "home."

[deadparrot]

10. Yay!

I was wondering yesterday how she was doing. Glad to hear good news.

[RevCheesehead]

13. Thanks!

I spent all day yesterday watching over her. Even slept on the sofa (ouch! ) to make sure she was OK overnight.

[Ptah]

11. I have this image in my mind of Binky and Mom:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Aww, that's so sweet!

(Binky's the white one; her sister Oreo the b/w, and the late, great Mr. Roo)

[LaraMN]

15. Yay! A very optimistic report.

Big hugs to Ruthie, and a gentle one to Binky!

[RevCheesehead]

29. Thanks, Lara

From both of us!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Good news!

Milo and Jeoffry send Binky their get well wishes.

[RevCheesehead]

30. I love "kitty love" pics!

Here's Binky and the late Mr. Roo, cuddling together:

[texanwitch]

17. Get well Binky.

My old cat was ill, couldn't catch him. Finally he got well on his own.

I checked him over and he had lost all his top teeth, but he good to go now.

He looks a lot like Binky.

[RevCheesehead]

31. Wow - I'm glad your cat is OK!

Binky got so bad, she stopped eating and drinking. Her mouth was so painful, she couldn't drink much at all.

You have a Holstein Cat, too? Aren't they gorgeous?

[RetroLounge]

18. He looks a bit like Alec baldwin...

RL

[lizziegrace]

20. You're just full of them

How about a real pic of Alec Baldwin for the Rev? Please?? It's been a very long weekend for her.

[RetroLounge]

26. Glad the cat's okay

How about a hug!



RL

[RevCheesehead]

33. OK, fine....

but will you put the cat down first?

[RevCheesehead]

32. SHE.

*ahem* STOP LOOKING IN THE MIRROR!!

[Dangerously Amused]

19. Binky! So glad you are home, safe and sound and loooovvved!

Big kitty huggins all around!

[RevCheesehead]

34. Thanks, DA!!

Binky's getting some "tough love" tonight. She's still in her crate, so I turned off the lights (except for one in the kitchen), and told her "I'm going to bed. You can join me, or stay out here."

Jeez. I sound more like a wife than a mom!

[Dangerously Amused]

42. Hee hee!

I'm so glad everything turned out alright. I came in too late to the previous thread to post good vibes for her procedure, but I was thinking of her off and on through the weekend and I was pulling for her strong recovery. And really pulling for a bit of good news for you as well, Lord knows you surely deserve it.


Yaaay Binky!

Yaaay Rev!

[RevCheesehead]

43. You know....

I really, really, REALLY appreciate that!!

[joneschick]

21. oh Binky I'm so glad!

I've been thinking about you!
How does the fluid under the skin work? How does yer Mom do that? That's what the vet did for our Arawn.....

[RevCheesehead]

35. It's an IV drip with a needle.

I warm up the fluids in some hot water, so it's more comfortable for her. Then attach a fresh needle, pinch some skin, and slip it in the folds of her skin on her neck/back. Today, I got most of it on me, rather than in her.

Arawn is gorgeous!

[SeattleGirl]

22. Hi Binky! I'm so glad you're doing better.

Be a good kitty, and take your medicine, so you can get even better!

Rev, I'm glad to hear your news. for you and Binky.

[RevCheesehead]

36. Thanks, SG.

She's still mad at me, because I put that nasty stuff down her throat. I guess she thought if she came home, things would get back to normal. Little does she know that she's going back next Monday for a check-up and more bloodwork.

I miss snuggling with her.

[SeattleGirl]

46. I bet yhou miss the snuggling.

Pets can offer so much comfort, can't they? But sometimes, it is we who must comfort them. Well, hopefully, even though the medicine tastes nasty to Binky, part of her knows it's for her own good.

[RevCheesehead]

75. She snuggled with me today!!!

Only for about 10-15 minutes. Then, when the vet called, she jumped off the sofa and into her crate.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. Damn!

That cat types better than I do Glad Binky is OK

[RevCheesehead]

37. Thanks, NSMA!!

Binky exercises the fine art of Mind Control.

[u4ic]

24. Hi Binky!

I'm so glad you're getting better.

You've got such a great mom, she takes care of you so well and she misses you crawling all over her face and waking her up at 6am. I hope that you will be back to 100%, so you can continue to show her you love her in that way.

Scritches and kisses to you.

Love u4ic

[RevCheesehead]

38. Meow!

[Rhiannon12866]

25. Hi, Binky!

We're so glad to hear that you're home and on the mend. You are a beautiful kitty and are so lucky to have a Mom who loves you so much...

My little guy had dental surgery two weeks ago and we've spent more time at the vet's than I can even remember, so we sure sympathize!

Rhiannon & Meneken

[RevCheesehead]

39. me-OW!!

------> (that's cat for "hope he feels better!)

[Rhiannon12866]

51. Thank you, my friend...

His vet's office thinks he's doing much better after having two - more - teeth extracted. *sigh* But he's doing very well...

And we're so glad to hear that Binky is recovering well. We know what it's like to have a pet recovering from an illness or surgery and it can be a really scary time. Binky is so lucky to have you.

Rhiannon

[merh]

27. Welcome Home, Binky!!!

I'm so glad she is looking better and is home to be loved.

Love is a wonderful medicine, isn't it?

I'll still be saying prayers that she gets to feeling better soon and is up to mess with Oreo soon.







btw: You better call me one of these days!

[RevCheesehead]

40. meow meow meow Merh meow!!!

I'll pester Mom until she calls you. I hope she hasn't misplaced your phone number. I promise I'll stop being so demanding of her attention so she can feel like talking.

[merh]

52. LOL

She can call when she has time, just hoping she calls when she has time.

[RevCheesehead]

58. Hope you got her joke....

"Meow meow meow Merh" = The Divine Ms. Merh

And yes, I WILL call!

[merh]

69. I posted LOL

and now I am

[RevCheesehead]

72. You.

The Bink tried to jump up on the sofa, so I picked her up. She sat on top of me for about 15 minutes... until the phone rang. It was the vet!

[merh]

79. YAY

She is feeling better or she was just waiting on the vet's call, either way!!! YAY Bink!!!

[FuzzySlippers]

28. Awwww Binky...welcome home!!

I'm so glad you're feeling better! Hugs to you and your mommy!

[RevCheesehead]

41. Meowzy Meowpers, meow!!

[reyd reid reed]

44. Binky!!

I'm so glad you're home. Take care of your mommy...she was worried about you.



*skritchskritchskritch*

[RevCheesehead]

45. Meow Meow Meow!

:purr:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Biggo gentle hugs to Binky!

And likewise to you, my dear Rev!

I'm so glad to hear that she's on the mend.....

I know it was a scary time for you, waiting and not knowing how she was going to be.....

It must be true that cats have nine lives!

[RevCheesehead]

48. Peggy!

I shudder to think... Binky's been through so much, I think she's on number 7 or 8.

Thank you so much for your get well wishes!!

[riona]

49. Glad she's on the mend

[RevCheesehead]

59. Thank you!

She's now getting "tough love." She slept alone in her crate (her choice, not mine), is getting water right next to her (but that's gonna change. She's gonna have to walk for it by the end of the day), and must learn to eat the delicious cat food I've purchased for her.

I'm so mean.

[Vidar]

50. All the best to Binky.

[RevCheesehead]

60. Thanks, Vidar!

[NewWaveChick1981]

53. That's much better!

I'm so glad Binky's doing better.

[RevCheesehead]

61. Thanks, NWChick!

Binky thinks your name sounds yummy....Chick-en.

[NewWaveChick1981]

66. So do my dogs!

They say to Binky. They promise they won't chase her or anything.

[kedrys]

54. Hi Binky!!!

The hordes say meow, and wish you a continued uneventful and quick recovery! It's good to have you back.

[RevCheesehead]

62. Meow, kedrys!

I don't always act like it, but it's good to be back.

[Skittles]

55. she is so pretty

and that expression - "what's all the fuss about?"

[RevCheesehead]

63. Thanks, Skittles!

That's a very old picture... about 9 or 10 years. She's a bit thinner, but still has those amazing eyes. (oh, and their collars "disappeared" years ago!)

[Call Me Wesley]

56. She looks like my first cat!

I'm so glad she's home and recovering. Good vibes for a quick recovery, Binky.

[RevCheesehead]

64. Meow Me Meowley!!!

:purr:

[sarge43]

57. Hey Bink.

Glad to hear you're back home and on the mend. Take it easy and get well soon.

[RevCheesehead]

65. Meow, sarge!

I'm working on it. It just takes longer for old ladies like me.

[sarge43]

67. Being an old lady myself, I know the feeling Binky.

Just listen to Mommy and your doc and do what they tell you. As soon as you're up for it, we can go cruise the bingo halls.

[RevCheesehead]

71. LOL

Perhaps you two could go out for a fish fry also?

[sarge43]

76. Sounds like a plan

A fish fry at a bingo hall - Friday night blowout at Our Lady of Peripheral Vision - Party!

[ThomCat]

68. Hang in there, Binky!

It'll get better.

[RevCheesehead]

73. Meow!

:purr: Getting better already!

[Kajsa]

70. Hi Binky. I hope you feel better very soon.

I know your Mommy is taking very good care of you.

You are a very handsome and wonderful kitty.
Get better, real soon.

[RevCheesehead]

74. Thank you, but I am a girl.

Actually, an old lady. But you are very sweet, and I shall purr for you.
:purr:

[Kajsa]

80. Thank you, Binky!

I'm one of those weird people that uses
the adjective 'handsome' for both males
and females, " a handsome woman" etc.

You are very beautiful, Binky!
I knew you were a lady all along.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

77. Welcome back, Binky!

Here's to a speedy recovery!

[RevCheesehead]

78. Thank meow.

I'm feeling much better today!

[Mikimouse]

81. Dear Binky...welcome back!

Dad doesn't know that I am writing to you, so don't tell...shhhh. My name is Pooky (yeah, I know, lame name, but sometimes you have to humor the humans). I am 5 years old, a Korat and am seeking a penpal, preferably a cute female. You look pretty good to me!


Dad: You are so busted pal! Welcome back Binky, really glad to see you up and about.

[RevCheesehead]

82. Thank you, Pooky!

And thank your Dad, too!

[WCGreen]

83. I am soooo happy to hear that Rev....

There must be a higher power....

[RevCheesehead]

84. Ya think?

She's doing better every day. She even came in to watch Keith with me tonight!

[Whoa_Nelly]

85. Three cheers for Binky!

Hip, Hip, MEOW!

Hip, Hip, MEOW!

Hip, Hip, MEOW!

So good to know Binky is home and healing!

87. Oh, Nelly!

LOL! I've bookmarked it for future reference!

My beloved Roo was known as "the Bishop", because he often sat in the hallway with his front paws crossed. He had a regal bearing about him, and on his back was a shape of a cross. His full title, he finally told me, was "The Bishop of Roominster Tabby."

[ralps]

86. Hi Binky, I'm glad you are feeling better!!

[RevCheesehead]

88. Meow, ralps!

I hope Norman is feeling better, too. Please say Hi to him for me!
Love, Binky.
