Mabel

 Good Morning All,

How are you this morning?  It's raining here.  I woke up at 3 a.m. to the rain and it is still coming down.

Please send all your healing juju to Mabel (I know your healing juju works - it always does).  When I got home from the office yesterday, Fletch told me that Mabel had been upstairs all day.  Highly unusual.  She had been out all night and I let her in Wednesday morning and put food out for her before I took off for my blood work.  I went upstairs and she was curled up on the bed...barely acknowledging my presence.  Again, highly unusual.  And silent!  Mabel is ALWAYS talking...usually loudly.

Anyway, I had a busy work afternoon and then it was time to cook dinner.  We ate and then watched an episode of "Our Great National Parks."  Finally when I was ready to go up to bed around 10 p.m., she came downstairs.  She did not want food or water (but I left some out for her).  And then she disappeared!  She has hiding places and must have gone to one of them.

This morning when I came downstairs, she greeted me and made some soft meows.  I put some fresh food down and she ate a little, but not too much.  She came into the office room with me, but did not jump up on her window ledge seat and now she has left...not sure where she is. I snapped this sweet picture after she had a little food this morning.


She has stolen our hearts over the past few months and we sure hope she is ok and that this is nothing serious.  We are keeping her inside for now and she is not arguing with us.

Meanwhile, it looks like it was a rainy night in Pittsburgh for the kids and their backpacking night.  Luckily they had reserved a shelter along the trail, so at least they could be dry sleeping and not have to wrestle with tents in the rain.  And the forecast for Pittsburgh for Saturday looks nice for an outdoor wedding.  Fingers crossed.

I've got another busy day ahead of me...I need to get up from this desk, dry my hair and get ready to go to the office.  Wishing you all a wonderful day!

  1. I am so sorry to hear of Mabel's illness. Sending healing juju right now. Sick pets are no fun-as I well know. The hardest part of all this mange business was watching Pup suffer with it.

  7. A quiet, hiding cat with little or no appetite is not a well cat. Poor dear Mabel. I know you won't wait too long to get her checked out. Sending her all my best.

  8. Poor Mabel. I will say a prayer for her to eel better soon. Maybe she just ate something that didn't agree with her. Zoey did that the other day and then was sick several times in the night.
    Please update us on how she's doing very soon. Lots of us have fallen in love with sweet Mabel and her spots.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  15. My brother just told me yesterday that Peanut had a trip to the vet, acting like Mabel. The vet found a hole from a bite on the back of her neck and of course, bacteria from the mouth of another cat that bit her caused an infection. He never saw it even though he brushes her several times a day. Our Bud got sick quickly with high fever, lethargic, almost lost him. Vet did not find a bite, we don't know what happened. Antibiotic injections didn't help for several days. I sure hope your little girl starts feeling better!! Please keep us informed.
