Return of the Hunter and an Update

Thank you again for all the purrs. They do seem to be working. The vet rang my mum today and said the bacteria culture from my urine sample was negative so that rules out a UTI.
I am feeling a lot better in myself and only have occasional diarrhoea now and no vomiting. I am still getting my appetite pills but only every 48 hours and am eating fairly well with them, although I am still not putting on weight. My next one is due Thursday morning but mum is going to see if I still eat if I don't get it. If I don't eat much by midday, then I will still get them for a bit longer.

Mum has decided she needs to cut back on my blogging a bit. Don't worry we will still be here. When Eric was still with us we used to post almost every day, but when he had to leave us we cut back to 4 or 5 times a week. Mum feels that she is spending too much time on the the computer so we need to cut back a bit more. Eric will always have his Friday Flashback day and I will post at least once a week. maybe twice.
I will also keep you all up to date with my health.
Maybe during the cold wet nights of winter we may do a bit more again. I am still being very good to take my thyroid pills. Dad holds me and mum pops it back my throat and washes it down with a very small syringe of water.
Anyway, that's enough of that. Here is what you have been waiting for, me back in the fields looking for those mousies.
Mum asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. Lately she or my dad carry me to the field and back so I don't tire myself too much. I told her there was no need, I wanted to lead the way. We went in to the nearest field and I went up to the long grass.
I hear mousies!

There is something here.

Mum said I looked like I was going to disappear down the mousie hole.

Well mum, you're wrong. It isn't a mousie hole......

it's a mousie nest and I've dug it out.

Now I have to see if there are any mousies that I have evicted.
I did find one half grown mousie and grabbed it quick. Mum told me I was a good boy and to not eat it.
Are you joking! After I went to the trouble of catching it.
She was going to take it away from me so I ran off up the field and nommed it before she could get there. I didn't give her chance to get a photo of it. She wasn't very pleased with me and said eating mousies was not a good idea as I had been so ill. I don't care though, it was very tender and tasty.

  6. It’s great to see you feeling friskier, Flynn. Hmmm, Do you think you may have eaten something that wasn’t good for you and that could be causing the blood and maybe the squirts?

  7. Yeah, mum has never had enuf time to help us blog every day, except when she wasn't working. We need her working so we can eat.

  11. We are glad that you are doing better and are back to hunting. But I do wish you would eat more so that you could gain some of that weight back.

  13. Good to see you doing your business again, Flynn. Blogging is like an 9-5 job...and that's to much. Granny has to say 'stop now' too, otherwise she will be living in the computer :D Pawkisses for a Healthy Day :) <3

  14. Catch mousie, eat mousie, thems the rules Flynn. Well done for running off to consume that mousie. Finding a nest is like striking gold! I'm not allowed to eat mousies either. It's really good to see you out and about and getting your strength back. Sorry you had such a rum old do with the antibiotics.

  21. Flynn what wonderful news on your health. Enjoy your hunts while the sun is out and the temps are warm.

    Mom and I will miss you but we surely understand. You all have been blogging for a very long time and a break is due. Sometimes mom thinks we need to cut back but blogging is addictive.

    Lots of hugs and snuggles to you, Mum
    and Dad

  22. Flynn, we're glad you're UTI-free, that's great news. And super that you were feeling well enough to catch a mouse and run and eat it before your mum could get to you. Heh heh. Way to go!

    As for the blogging: Well, our human hasn't posted for us in a month, has sadly lost interest--she was finding the same thing -- she was spending FAR too much time in front of the computer, all day at work and then in the evenings too. That's not much of a "real" life, if you know what we mean. Better to spend the time with you, Flynn, and with your dad, etc. Check in when you can, but oh, we all understand having to cut back!

    Peace.

    Nicki, Derry and Kim

  24. Oh Boy! A mousie!!! It does our heart good to know you are so much better, Flynn! We were really worried about you, buddy! Don't worry about blogging. The Staff is terrible for keeping up with both blogging and visiting, but folk are very understanding about it!! :) xox

  25. Great hunting job Flynn! You still got it. Sorry you won't be posting as much, but I look forward to any posts from you.

  26. It's good to see you active, Flynn. And it's understandable about the blogging. It does take up time.

    The fact that you wanted to eat the mouse shows that you do have an appetite! If the pills you are taking are for hyperthyroidism, don't forget that there is an ointment that can be rubbed in the ears, if you ever decide not to like your pills any more. My Tungsten gets that, and it's no problem at all giving it to her.

    Continued improvement to you, Flynn.

  27. We're glad you're feeling better and that your mousing skills are still razor sharp!!! We know that blogging takes a lot of time so we understand that you and your parents want to spend more time doing fun things together.

  31. Flynn hunting down the mousies and finding their nest and then nomming one is showing us how well you are feeling. We are so glad things are better. We think that you'll work out a good new schedule for posting. Mom says she is so grateful that she did a blog because she has so many memories. That is important to her now. (hugs)

  32. You caught a mousie AND you wanted to nom him too!!!! You must be feeling better. We're still praying for you sweetheart. Big hugs and kisses to you from all of us. Our mum feels so relieved to hear the good news.
    We know that maintains such a high quality blog must be very time consuming for you and your mum. We love you so very much we don't want to loose seeing you. You bring such sunshine into our days. We love you like you were our own. We feel blessed having the chance to know you.

  33. We are glad you feel like hunting again, and that you scored a young, tender mousie!

    Glad Flynn's urine came back with no bacteria. Have you thought about doing an ultrasound? Tanner had some blood in his urine before he was diagnosed with the kidney cancer...blood can be a lot of things, but thought I'd mention that.

  42. Oh Mighty Flynn the Hunter so very glad to hear you are feeling strong enough to lead the walk into the field and to get back to hunting your Mousies! You all enjoy your fall weather and we will see you on Fridays and when you feel like it.

  43. Oh Good job, Flynn!
    Mousies are calories too.
    We are so glad that you are up to your manly mancat antics. But remember to take it slow. Even manly mancats have to recover when they are ill. Your mum knows best, so you should probably try to listen to her. (I don't, but you should.)
    Your furend, TK

  44. I still keep checking every day looking for you, Flynn. <3

  47. Wow! We don't have Real mousies here what build nests we can get at. Its all moles and voles here and they stay in tunnels. We can only get at the growed-up ones cuz the nests are deep under. Well, OK, we did find that youngish one couple weeks ago when it must have wandered toward the light.

    Good fer you fer running off an eating it before Mum could take it away! But we're confused why she wanted to. What could be more natural food?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Sweet Flynn it is so good to see you out mousing again. We hope you continue to improve and will soon be back to enjoying all you love doing and feeling great. We are still keeping the purrs and prayers going for you. Hugs and nose kisses

  49. Wow, you hit the jackpot with the mousie nest!! We are impressed (and jealous, since we are indoor cats). We are also glad to see that you feel well enough to go hunting. We shall continue purring for your health.

  50. Flynn we love seeing you outside again! Pls tell your mum not to worry, we totally understand. My Mum decided that come 2015 she is cutting waaaaaaaaay back. She has her sights set on something in 2015 that has NOTHING to do with blogging, and that is where Mom will be focusing her energy. She will still blog, but is hoping to do so MUCH less! Love, Cody

  51. Flynn - the more we blog, the more we realize that it can be too overwhelming and that cutting back is in order. We all understand and the important thing is to be happy and to enjoy the moments you have with your family. Purrs of love to you and yours from the Zee and Zoey Gang!

  52. Dude--you still got the coolest backyard to roam in!! I am glad you're feelin' better. We continue to have you (and your mum and dad) in our purrs and prayers. Hey, if the humans want to carry you---let em--heck, you ARE the king of your household.:)

  53. Oh Flynn, we know this was such a wonderful day for you. We say if you are walking the fields and digging up mousey nests that you deserve to eat your find.
