CATching up...one more time

It's been a very long time since I wrote a post. Ever since my I-131 treatment last year, I just haven't been quite as active as before. That treatment healed my thyroid disease, but other things aren't so good. When I was being examined for that treatment, the vet specialist found that I had heart and kidney problems. I've been on medicine and special food ever since. All was good until recently...

For several weeks I've been slowly losing weight. Then I caught a cold and had trouble eating. Well, that started things. Treater and Napper have been doing an awful lot of stuff to me. I have to see Dr. Steve a whole lot...lots more than I really want to, although he is very nice (except when he sticks me, that is). I'll spare you kitties the details.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell all of my furriends how very much I've appreciated your visits and your purrs. I'm not doing well at all. I'm very weak and I can't eat or drink on my own any more, and I don't care for the syringe that Treater uses to push food into me.

This will be my last post. I had hoped to be around for my 13th birthday in January, but I won't make it. Don't cry for me. I'll soon be with Those Who Have Gone Before.

Play well and purr hard.

Do you realize there's a 12 word phrase you can speak to your man... that will trigger intense emotions of love and impulsive attraction for you deep within his chest?

That's because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, admire and protect you with his entire heart...

=====> 12 Words Who Trigger A Man's Desire Impulse

This impulse is so built-in to a man's brain that it will make him try better than before to build your relationship stronger.

Matter-of-fact, fueling this dominant impulse is absolutely binding to having the best ever relationship with your man that once you send your man a "Secret Signal"...

...You will immediately notice him open his heart and mind to you in such a way he never experienced before and he will distinguish you as the one and only woman in the world who has ever truly understood him.
