Congratulations to both

Thank you for the warm welcome back.

With the time away from playing I have been making catnip toys. I listed a few on eBay and my name is bignosycat (if you would like to see them). It is too expensive to sell on eBay and I do it once in awhile to gain customers. If a eBay customer buys them they can email me for more as I put notes in the package for orders. Also our postage went up and it is very high this will cut into my little business. I would like to make a website. Know anyone that can do it for a good price?

Many thanks to you all for the heart warming responses I really appreciate the support. I wish you, and your family and pets have a healthy happy New Year.

Muggy is on the rebound and doing quite well in spite of her cancer growth, it is now 1/2 size larger. I will have long with her so I pray every night and I think it is helping. Muggy does not look sick at all and is eating well. The vets do not know what is wrong with Felix his lymph glands and spleen are still swollen. They are not as large as they were before Christmas. He has to have a 3rd ultra sound in 2 months to see if there are any changes. His weight is still dropping he is not my big baby boy anymore he is now a sleek looking cat. I have to monitor his weight, as we do not want him to loose anymore. He still has asthma and I do not know the cause.

I am a still very busy making catnip toys to pay the vet bills but I am back playing a few games a night. It is wonderful to see my friends again I enjoyed myself immensely. This is truly a wonderful network of special people and I am blessed to play with you all. I am a little rusty but should be back in the saddle in a few days.

Thank you again,

Yvonne

Hello my favorite friends!

Sorry it has been along time since I have played on line. I miss you all! I have received lots of notes from my UT friends on this server and I appreciate them. We have a good community of friends here, which I cherish. I am just a little weak and disheartened right now and trying to recover.

I have 2 very ill cats, Muggy has terminal lung cancer and Felix has serious swollen glands and spleen. He was first diagnosed with cancer 1.5 months ago. I do not smoke but use to 3 years ago. Muggy?s cancer did not show up in her x-rays last year but I am sure I caused it. The grief that I feel has stopped me from playing online as I can cry when asked how am I doing I am very sensitive. I am on disability with a physical illness and in pain daily, the thought of losing my baby girl Muggy has made me depressed. My cats are my life and rely on them for comfort. I can be myself around them and do not have to pretend I am well in front of them like you do with some people. I find some of my dearest friends want me to attend functions and get upset that I cannot attend due to my illness. They do not understand like my cats do.

In one month I paid $2,000.00 in tests and Vet visits. Felix needs further ultra sounds to monitor the glands and spleen. These tests are quite costly I never leave the vets without paying $400.00 plus. I am making organic catnip toys to help pay for the mounting vet bills. This also helps with the depression as my mind gets focused on something else.

When I am feeling stronger I will come back and play. Right now I am spending my time with Muggy, as she may not have much time to live. She has one bad day then she has several good days, she is up and down but not suffering. I will never let my cats suffer I pay for a Vet Tech to visit my home 3 times a week to monitor Muggy.

All the best to you all!

Love Miss Kitty

CrazyBeowulf, my heart goes out to you and your family I know how you feel. Our pets are members of our family and deeply loved. You and your baby are in my prayers. Sending you and your mom big hugs. Remember all the good times you spent with Salem it really helps with the grieving process.

After one of my cats died 14 years ago I was given Muggy. She was healing therapy and I love her more than life. My boyfriend had dumped me the same weekend, which was Valentines. Muggy made me better, I had not eaten for 17 days only drinking hot milk, I was a mess and she healed my heart. Muggy was a blessing, a gift from God, I was sent an angel.

Muggy is the cat in the photo with me.

Last night I had a suggestion on sick pet thread to try and help each other out. This was a communication error on my part.

Thank you for adding your pet information I am love to read about your pets.

LOL LOL Too Funny cplmac

Cheez Whiz on baguette now that's a real treat for me.

I go on a binge on it about every 10 years. Yummm I am eating it now. I also like cheddar that is lleast 5 years old, we have some very nice old cheddar cheese from Quebec that is made in country farms. Great as a snack with fruit.

I like the organic real fruit Gummys.

I could eat fudgesicles for breakfast and have done so as this is another one of my snack foods. To try to be healthy I tried the organic fudgesicles and they were awful. Over the summer I ate at least 3 boxes of 12 per week and Ben and Jerry Chunky Monkey icecream. Ummmm dill pickle chip dip now that is good on occasion. I tend to eat my treats for a few weeks, months and then move on to something else.

In Canada we can only buy small containers of Ben & Jerry's icecream do they have larger containers in the USA? I find the small pint size is only good for 1 sitting.

TIMO...Your mom is on to a good thing! I eat as healthy as I can then have the not so healthy rewards, treats, as I call them. We seldom had processed food when we were kids but that was a different generation.

Boingo you are welcome here anytime I will make you a feast!

Boingo the Peanut butter you mention is a good one.

When I was young my dad would not allow peanut butter in the house so I did not have it until I was around 19. I first had it at a youth hostel, and only ate it because I was hungry due to a shortage of funds. I hitchhiked from Ontario to British Columbia in 1974 when I was 19.

I think Peanut butter is a lazy way to make food fast and it is cheap. It takes much more time to prepare a sandwich using cheese (not sliced processed rubber cheese), tomatoes, cucumbers, dark green leaf lettuce and fresh cooked chicken (this is an example) that is a much healthier alternative. By all means I do not mean to offend anyone.

Growing up young in the UK the fast food I ate was Marmite on toast that is a nutritious yeast extract filled with vitamin B. I still eat it on occasion. I do eat junk food as a treat, like potato chips and chocolate but I try to eat as healthy as I can. This is preventive medicine.

Swiss chocolate is much darker it has a higher Cocoa content, which is better for you. It is the quality of beans that are used. In the USA and Canada chocolate may be an additive in a chocolate bar. If you read the label often you will see ?chocolaty coating? that boils down to no chocolate at all in it. Not sure of the label laws in the USA.

I think if you use these foods as snacks on occasion, they will not hurt you, but if these foods are a large part of your diet then you may have problems down the road. I think it is okay to snack on peanut butter as long as it is organic using only peanuts. Then you will avoid added fats, preservatives and sugar. This type of peanut butter does not have any fats added you have to keep it in the fridge as it has no preservatives.

Hello:

I like pizza

, Lays salt viniger chips, Cadbury Flake bar

. I often make my own thin crust pizza on a stone using homemade sauce and crust. I prefer organic vegies on it with cheese and fresh basil. Did not eat chips until I quit smoking 2.8 years ago.

Liverwurst is made of liver {pork}and I eat it sometimes when I have a craving for it.

Not a fan of Peanut Butter only like it in cookies.
