Roo's Triumphant Return!

Hi everyone! I am really sorry to be away for so long, but I meant to take some R&R after the big Halloween holiday then when i was ready to come back I started feeling a bit under the weather and really just now feel back to my old weevelish self!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween and a real nice Thanksgiving. I ate a little turkey this year, but not a whole lot. Didn't really feel like it. It looks like the US has elected a black cat as its new President and I couldn't be happier. Black cats are so smart and dedicated that this new cat can't miss! I'm not sure what his name is but dad usually says a bad word when he talks about him. I guess he's just jealous.

As for me not feeling well, well, it was kind of bad and then it got really bad over the weekend. A while back I was having trouble peeing and sometimes I went outside of the poophut. I had dad conviced it was Misses Hiney doing it, but I knew something wasn't right. I tried to ride it out and see if it got better, but it eventually took me down.

A couple of weeks ago I was really down for a day and couldn't pee or poop. I wasn't hungry and when mom or dad touched me it hurt. It passed in a few hours, but I knew things were getting worse.

Saturday I didn't feel very good, but I was making the most of things and managed to eat, but I couldn't go to the poophut and be productive. Sunday morning I ate my food but dad caught me out of the hut acting like I was going to go. He shooed me away and I went into the living room and just laid down. I knew I was sick.

Mom and dad came home and I was still just laying in one place and in some pretty severe pain. It hurt just to move and I wanted to be comforted, but I sure didn't want to be touched. I could tell dad was worried about me and he kept a close eye on me. Mom kept puttng papers under me to throw up on, but I couldn't even do that. Eventually I did puke a couple of times, but not much. Nothing was moving. That night I slipped under the bed to sleep, but I was up most of the night worried. I didn't even go on my usual reign of terror that night.

When dad got up and saw I was still curled up and not moving he was really worried and I thought he was going to cry. When mom got up he told her he thought I needed to go to the vet ASAFP! Mom looked me over and decided he was right and this time I was willing to go!

Mom loaded me up on a towel in a laundry basket and drove me to a new vet. I cried, but mostly because I was in pain and not just because I hate the vet! Apparently ol Roo had some kind of bladder blockage and my bladder was huge and full. The blockage was some kind of crystalline formation and would have to be loosened and I would have to be juiced. They took xray's of me and eventually with all of their handling the blockage was freed and Roo peed freely! Talk about feeling better!

I stayed at the doctor's that day and mom picked me up later in the afternoon. The doctor game me some new food for me to eat and thankfully it's pretty good! Mom and dad are weaning me off of the old food and onto the special diet food and I am to have no people food! I don't eat too much of that kind of stuff anyway so that's okay.

I really thought dad might be posting my obit on here this week the way I felt on Sunday, but rest assured, Roo is back!

I haven't seen any remarks from any of my friends so I hope they are all okay and I hope they come back to visit again, now that I'm back.

Peace and love to all!!

Roo
