Today turned out to be a nice and enjoyable day! Much better than I thought it was going to be. I was very happy to find out that I got to get out of work earlier than normal. So after I got out of work I changed into my bathing suit and sat out back and soaked up the sun with my cat Buddy (for some reason he always hovers around you when you are outside in his "domain"). I took these pictures of him

1. What kind of camera do you have? I own an HP Photosmart M537
2. How often do you take pictures? Maybe like once a week. It depends if I remember that I have a camera and that maybe it's a good idea to take pictures.
3.What's the last picture you took? Of my cat Jack laying spread eagle on my bed. It was just too hilarious to not take a picture of.
4. What is the first camera you ever had? I had a Kodak camera but I can't remember what the model type was.
5. Show us your best shot.
- Do you have any pets now? Yup, I have one regular cat, named Buddy who is going to be ten at the end of the month and two ragdoll cats who are about one and a half. Their names are Jack and Bailey (brother and sister).
- Did you have pets growing up? I had a couple of cats that I don't remember but I do know that I named them all Max. And something always happened to every one of my little Maxies. One died after a week from some illness and I know another one ran away. We still have the footprints of the one that ran away on my basement floor because he stepped in wet white paint.
- Out of all the pets you've ever had, who was your favorite? I would feel bad to say I have a favorite. I love them all for each of their different personalities. Buddy has a second sense for me, he always comes to me when I am sad or sick. Jack has the personality of a person, he's hilarious. And Bailey because she is quite and very independent but she becomes mush when she learns to trust you. She kind of reminds me of myself.
- Are you a dog or cat person? I am both. I love mostly all animals (except some monkeys, which I am afraid of lol) I love cats more probably because I have them myself and they aren't as scary as dogs can be. I get afraid of dogs I don't know because they can bite and tear your face off if they are dangerous. But really I do love them because we know the odds of that happening are like none. It just takes me longer to warm up to dogs I don't know because I am not as used to dogs.
- Let's see a furry creature.
I forgot to update about my cat Bailey and her surgery. She had the surgery and everything is fine now! The doctor said that there was some ovarian tissue in her. The weird thing was that it was located up near her spleen instead of where it normally would have been. The vet called it ectopic ovarian tissue. I was happy to hear this because I had made the right diagnosis! It made me feel like I would be a good doctor one day (though this is only one time I diagnosed a patient and was right!). I had done all of this research and actually convinced my mom that this was what was causing my cat to act like she was in heat despite the fact that she was spayed when she was little. My cat was misbehaving so much that my mom wanted to get rid of her. I couldn't let that happen because I love my cat. I would have been devastated. So I did a lot of research and convinced my mom to go get the surgery, which the vet really didn't push on us at all when we took her a few times about the problem.
Apparently this ectopic ovarian tissue is very rare, my vet had only seen it four or five times in his twenty years of practicing. He even sent the tissue out to be biopsied (which I had no idea he did) and it confirmed that it was the ovarian tissue. I was right! I knew I was right all along.
Well now my cat is much better and she is back to normal. I felt so bad when she came home from the surgery. She couldn't walk straight because she was still loopy from the anesthetic. She kept meowing in pain and hid under my bed. She didn't eat or drink or go to the bathroom for almost two days. She didn't walk around and just wanted to be left alone. She was sooo skinny too. I felt horrible, like it was my fault because I wanted her to have the surgery, but now it's all better!
Here's a random pic of my other cat Buddy. It's random but I really liked this pic when I just uploaded it a few minutes.
Don't you hate it when you wake up too early and you want to go back to sleep but you can't even though you are still tired? Yea, that's what happened to me this morning. I was awoken at six by my cat Buddy meowing like a banshee because he wanted to go downstairs to eat/drink/poop or something so of course I had to because one time I neglected to listen to his meows he crapped on my bed next to my face kind of like an "eff you, you don't listen to me meowing" and then I stuck my hand in his crap. Needless to say that day didn't start off to well either. But luckily that didn't happen today. Instead I just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep and I know I am going to be exhausted all day because I have to be at school all day :( oh well.
