The Great Escape

Sleep, that is. Kitties, believe it or not, once again that awful pesky (blush) anal gland has become horribly painful and it looks like a trip to the Stabby Place will be in my future on Monday. 
Sheesh--again? Well, apparently there is, um, a "more permanent" solution than what we've been doing and perhaps the time has come to consider it. I am not happy about the idea of some masked Human slicing around such a delicate area with sharp metal blades, ::shudder:: as there are other important parts in close proximity, but the Human assures me that the slicer, uh "doctor," will be careful.
Stay tuned.

Oh Spitty! I had a back-end blow out bout a munth ago. I had to take sum medicines. I hope I don't get no moar problems.
Sendin good thoughts yur way, an 'specially to yur floofy tookis.

Furries said...

If a permanent solution will be the end to your discomfort, it may well be worth letting the doctor take care of things. You can use this to your advantage and get sever days of extra papering by your human.

Oh poor brave Spitty. It may just be time since these bouts seem more frequent. It would be nice to have it taken care of and all over with. Keep us updated.

Yikes, Spitty! I am really sorry to hear this! I wonder if Caroline could scream or hiss the problem away? Because you know I'd send her FedEx straight away!

I'll be thinking of you, bud.

Pasha's Mommy said...

Hey buddy, sorry to hear about your ouie! I hope it gets taken care of for good! Be brave!

Catio Tales said...

We send you sympathy and virtual soothing bum salve. We feel for you dude. And you won't know anything about the slicing and dicing - you'll be zzzz'ing away. Let's hope the stabby place people can advise on Monday.

Oh, that does NOT sound fun! But on the other hand, I bet you would feel loads better afterwards! BTW, if you want, you can have your human send me a photo of you, high resolution, straight out of the camera and I'll see what my human can do with it.

Lone Star Cats said...

Yikes, dat do not sound like fun!

Fuzzy Tales said...

Accckk! Slicing?

Nicki goes every three months to have his anal glands expressed. The vet suggested pumpkin for fibre, to firm up his stool (which is firm most of the time anyway), but how many cats really like pumpkin? We don't!

But of the 4 -5 vets Nicki has seen over the years, none has suggested any slicing!

Purrs and paws crossed for you, Spitty.

Oh no Spitty we are so sorry to read that you have to go to the blood stealers. We send healing vibes and POTP to you. We wish you the best.
Best wishes Molly

Marg said...

Oh no Spitty, no slicing allowed. That is not any fun. We came by to wish your Mom a happy Mother's day and to tell you to be nice to her today if you can. We know that is hard for some of us. Have a wonderful day.

Tamago said...

Oh no, slicing? I'm so sorry to hear this, Spitty. But if it is really permanent solution, it maybe the best in a long term. Still scary though..I hope you get the very best solution. Sending purrs for you.

Brian's Home Blog said...

Oh Spitty, we are sure sending lots of purrs to you pal, that would not be fun at all.

Hailey and Zaphod and their Lady said...

Ouch, hopefully it goes away forever that way at least

Terri said...

We hope you don't have to have your anal glands removed. My Himalayan had to have hers removed. She did great and had fewer trips to the vet because of the surgery :-)

Shaggy and Scout said...

Yikes! But if in the end (pun intended) it keeps the problem from returning, maybe its a good thing.

Shaggy and Scout said...

Winston said...

Ouchie Spitty. The v-e-t does makes you feel better, even if it is an awful experience....just remember to give him/her a good bitey to let them know who's boss. I do this all the time...

Cats Herd You said...

Oh, that sounds like a whole lot of not very fun, Spitty. If they insist on slicing, we hope it means that you'll feel all better once and for all.

Seville at Nerissa's Life said...

It's actin' up again? AGAIN?

I'm sure your surgeon will be of the HIGHEST quality, suitable for associatin' with royalty such as yourself. Your mum wouldn't have it any other way.

In the meantime, I shall send healin' purrs.

Purrs,
Nissy

Katie Isabella said...

Feliz dia da mães para sua mamãe!

CATachresis said...

Oh buddy, I feel for you I really do!! The Staff doesn't know that I know, but I have to go to the stabby place on Tuesday to be cut around too!! I think after we get out of the torture place, we might have to go for a couple of brewskis for sure. What do you say? xx

KarenMcG said...

Oh man, Spitty. We're not liking hearing about you going to the stabby place - at. all! We'll be thinking about you. Thanks for stopping by Kittens n Things. Happy Mother's Day to your huuman mom.

Cathy Keisha said...

OM! Spitty, I am soooo sorry. Don’t even say that “S” word. I think you got this because you want more attention and now the Human has to miss work at a very important time. Good planning.

Just Ducky said...

Can't be worse than getting tutored? Is it?

The Island Cats said...

Yikes! Spitty, the only thing we can say is that you'll be asleep when all that slicing and dicing will be going on. That's good.

meowmeowmans said...

That does NOT sound like fun at all, Spitty. We are purring and praying for you, and that all goes well.

Katnip Lounge said...

Holy CRAP. We bet you're gonna see Cod...

Timmy Tomcat said...

Oh Spitty that must be so uncomfortable.
Our Fitz had a very brief problem with hers that Dad expressed here. Luckily that was the end of it and when she was done giving him the stink-eye all was better.
We purr the same fur you my furend

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

Aw, poor Spitty! We hope everything works out well for you sweetie! That slicer/vet is really only trying to help! Honest! Sending you lots of purrs and prayers!

Star says: Oh my dear handsome king! I'm sorry you have to go through this. I'll be waiting when you get back to soothe your brow and lick your ears while you recover! Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
