Hello friends - I'm finally home! If you did not know I was gone, then you can catch up on da details in da earlier posts. I came home yesterday after 4:00pm.
In a nutshell, I has been at da V-E-T since Saturday afternoon. And not by MY choice, may I add. But, I'm glad Mommakitty took me anyways cuz I could have gotten even sicker and possibly DIED. OK, maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but kittehs can die of Urinary Blockage if it's not caught in time.
Luckily I am a typical vocal Meezer and I tolded Mommakitty on Friday and Saturday that I wuz not feelin' good - I wuz in pain and it hurt to pee. So, even though no kitteh wants to go to da V-E-T by choice . . . as soon as momma put da PTU out I jumped right in. Da doctor tolded momma that I was furry lucky to catch this condition early.
By da way, here is picture of da blurp givin' me a luv pat when I got home. She wuz furry gentle and happy to see me. Sabi, on da other hand, has been ignorin' me ever since I got home. Anyhoo, . . .
While I wuz at da V-E-T they shave my man place. Mommakitty wanted to show you a photo, but I thought it wuz not appropriate to be viewed by gurlz or young kittehs. I wuz furry embarrassed to have a shaved hoo-haa place while at da V-E-T cuz there were gurlz lookin' at me and laffin. That made me furry hissy and I wuz mad at the vet techs the whole time I wuz there.
Now if shavin' my stuff wuzzent bad enough, they stuck a tube called a catheter in my winky (you guyz know whut I'm talkin' about) and pushed fluid into me. At least they had da courtesy to dope me up furst - but the tube did not feel good, so I managed to pull it out on Sunday. All da while I also had to wear one of them stoopid cone head thingies. Geez - all my dignity wuz stripped - I didn't even git a hospital gown!
Now that I am home, I gotta take some medicine fer a couple of weeks AND eat special foods. I will have to eat da special food fer da rest of my life. AND fer da next couple of weeks Mommakitty will be following me around makin' sure I drink enough and pee enough. Can a dood get any privacy? Sheesh!
Oh well - I am happy to be alive and be home. AND I am furry thankful to have such wunnerful friends in da Cat Blogosphere and on da internets. Fanks fer all yer support and purrrayers. Please keep me in yer purrayers fer a few more weeks, cuz I don't wanna have to go back to da V-E-T and git another tube stuck you-know-where.

If you have specific questions, write them in da comments section and I will try my best to answer them.
Now, you'll have to excuse me while I go warsh da V-E-T stink off me and git some rest.

Dood! I'm glad you're home and aside from the HORRORS of being shaved and having girls laugh at your winky, that you're mostly ok. Sucks about the special food...that stuff usually tastes like doody. At least what I imagine doody tastes like. I haven't actually sampled it to be sure...
Oh man, you're gonna ITCH as yer furs grow back in!
I am very glad that you are home again, Kimo. Aside from the embarrassment, you seem to have done very well. I hope your special food tastes better than Max thinks. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so so happy that you are home now, Kimo~
I was so worried!
So glad to see you're home, Kimo.
I can sympathize with all the indignities that you went through as I had all that happen to me last year. At first I thought I looked kinda sexy with my man bits shaved, but it itched like crazy when it started growing back. Which in itself was embarrassing, as I had to keep licking those bits so they felt better, and Mummy thought I was being rude!
Kimo, we are glad you are back home and that you got such a nice welcome from the blurp. Sabi will come around as soon as the stink is gone. We will continue to purr for you.

Awwwww, Kimo buddy!!!! I'm so sorry you hadded to go to the vet, but I'm glad yur Mommakitty caughted the kondishun early and that you're okeydokeys!
Us Ballicai are sendin you and yur fambly lots and lots and lots of purrs and huggies!
Oh I am so glad you are home safe and sound! There is no place like home to be sure. I understand that you are crabilated about getting a shave...they will not have to do that when I have my surgery because my tummy is bare.
Take it easy for a few weeks...I iwll purrrr for you.
Love Miss Peach
Welcome home kimo. xxx
Kimo we are so glad you are home and safe - the furs will grow back so don't worry. Take it easy and rest up, OK?
We are glad you are home and feeling better Kimo. The indignity of having your manbits shaved!
I, Eric, have special food for my sensitive tummy and it tastes okay so we hope your special food will taste okay too.
Hope Sabi soon starts talking to you again, but at least Da Blurp loves you with or without vet stink.
We're so happy to hear that you are home and safe. You were a smart kitty to let your Mom know you were feeling bad. We're really sorry you had to go through all that humiliation though.

You poor guy, such an ordeal.
I am so happy you are home, even with naked hoo-ha's!
You poor fella! We are so glad your Mommakitty listened to you, Kimo and that they caught it soon.
Do not worry, your furs will grow back real soon. And we did not laff at you even once. Feel better soon and we hope you like your new foods, dude!
We are glad you are home!
Kimo, we is furry happy you is home - we was furry werried about you. Grampa norton tolded us about how he hadded the blockage and was almost to the Rainbow Bridge when he gotted to the v-e-t ('acause Mommy and Daddy were werking for hours and hours and didn't know he was so sick)He hadded to haf a operwayshun and then he was fine. but he hadded to eat the speshul foods (he eated the purina cat chow one which is just as good as the science diet and doesn't taste like dooty)and he nefur hadded a prollem again! We hopes that you NEFUR haf to go back and haf gurlz laff at your shaved man place. that stinks!
Its so good to hear that you are back home, and growing fur back as we read this. It sounds like besides the fur shaving, you managed pretty well. So glad you and MommaKitty caught it early.
Welcome home, Kimo! That sounds like quite an ordeal. When Chilli was spayed she had to wear a cone too afterwards so she really feels with you. And that shaving! Now relax and regain all your strength. Purrs, Siena & Chilli
Welcome home Kimo! We are glad you are feeling better! Angel ate Wizards special food and gained weight on it! It apparently did no taste too bad, cause they never turned it down!
Gosh we's glad yoo's feelin better and bak home, Kimo! I hope yore noo foods tastes ok. Sorry it wuz embarassin to go to the v-e-t and them act so weerd tho. We'll keep sendin purrs n purrayers that yoo feel all way better and don't gotta go bak to the v-e-t.

Kimo: WE ARE SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HOME AND FEELING BETTER!!!
What a horrible experience!!!
Rest up and drink lots of water!
Poor DUUUUDE!!!!!
We are thankful that you got to da vet when you did. We don't have direct experience with this condition, but recently know of a cat who did and is just coming off antibiotics now. He had a tuff time and it cost lots of green papers. He is on a special wet food diet now. His case is unusual because he is a senior kitty and this usually happens when mancats are younger.
Sorry you had this embarrassing, not to mention painful, experience Kimo but so glad you are better now.
purrs,
Mindy, Moe, Bono
Kimo, we are so glad you are back home and can hopefully put this whole embarrassing ordeal behind you! I know it took a while for Cal to recover from the indignity of it all. We will keep a purrin' for you!
XOXO
Oh Kimo, we are so very sorry for all the indignities you suffered, but so very glad they helped you feel better. We will send hisses to those v-e-t techs for laffin at you. We will keep purring for you!
Oh, Kimo, we're glad you're ok. I wonder if I should follow Victor around to make sure he drinks enough and pees enough? He already makes Mom watch him pee sometimes.
Purrs and gentle licks,
Nina
KIMO - ur woofie cuzins in Bako are soooo glad ur home! We was soo scarded for you! Sabi will come around, and da blup will make u feel all better!
Kimo, we're glad you are home and are okay...even if you had to suffer some extreme indignities at the v-e-t!
Kimo - even though you had quite the ordeal, I am glad you're gonna be okay.
The world just wouldn't be the same without ya, dude, and we want you with us for a long, long time!

Your FL furiends,

Well, Speedy read dis and took off...musta been da part about haffing yoor man parts shaved and laffed at, how rude. We'z glad yoo are home and healing, we would never laff at yoo when yoo is sick and hurting. We told Sabi not to hiss at yoo so he's prolly waiting fur da vet stink to go away. Sure hope da food don't taste like doody.
What a terrible ordeal you went through, Kimo! Thank Cod you are back home and recuperating. I hope you are all better soon.
Phew. So happy you're home. Ask your mom for some nip, maybe it'll help you forget about the whole thing. Did your V-E-T suggest Cosequin® for Cats? Our V-E-T suggested it for Bob's UTI.
Kimo we are all very happy you are home!! WSorry about yer manbits getting shaved! (thats from Tank)
Catheters are NO FUN WHATSOEVER. Thank goodness they doped yoo!!!
*headbonks the Blurp, and give K and S a lick on the head*
I'm so glad your home! I'll put you on the goodvibes list, okay? I'll be snuggling for you & Mommy will be praying! Just rest Kimo.
Hugs & Snugs

Kimo, I'm glad you're home and feeling better. And how sweet of your little sister to give you a love pat to welcome you home!
Sorry you had to go through all of that humiliating stuff to get better but hopefully it will never happen again!
We are happy to read that you are back home, Kimo.
We´ll purr for you too!
purrrrrr
Luna, Luzie and Olli
Wow! You sure had a hard weekend Kimo! We are glad you are home and we hope Sabi will snuggle up soon. We hope your special food at least tastes good. It has to be better than going back to the v-e-t for another urinary blockage!
And da blurp is still just as cute as can be!!
prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs and tail wags,
Zeke, Sushi, Tiger Lily and Ruckus
I am so glad you're back home! What a horrible ordeal you went through. Stay healthy, Kimo :-)
Oh, Kimo, that sounds most unpleasant. We are glad you are well and at home. We are also glad the blurpy girl is giving you love pats. Those a re very important to the healing process.
Roxy & Lucky
Kimo, we are SO glad you're okay and back home again. But whoa, on top of all those tubes and cones and things, the V.E.T. shaved your stuffs?? I hope I never get a urinary blockage 'cause stuffs shaving sounds like grounds for big biteys to me!
Lotsa healing purrs from us,
Rocky
We are glad that you are OK.
Yoo got a boyzillian??? KEWL!!!!
Kimo so happy to know you are OK and home. Doing the VET thing isn't fun but I like Skeezix's comment that you got a 'boyzillion'!
Yay, you are home! We are so happy! You are lucky to have smart humans who listened to you! We hope you don't have to go back to the v-e-t for a long time!
Boy!!!!! We are so happy you are home!! That was quite an ordeal,what with the shaving and girls !!!!
Eat,drink and be happy Kimo :)
Purrs Mickey,Georgia & Tillie
We's doin' da happy dance 'cause yoor home. Dere's all kinds of indignities at da V-E-T. We will purr for yoo to continue to get better!
I am so glad that you are home! You had quite an experience at the vet. I hope things continue to improve!
Oh Kimo! I am so sorry you had to endure the torture at the VET but so glad you are in good health. Please have your beans write me at HalloweenTheCat@gmail.com so we can send you some get well treats!
Purrs and paws for fast healing, your pal Halloween
We are happy you are home and feeling better.
(((HUGS))) to you.
We are VERY happy to know that you're back home and settling back in.
Sorry to tell you, though, that the special foods and some lack of privacy (Mommakitty making sure you pee enough) won't end. But Cabbie has lived with this since Jan, 2004, and he's a very happy and healthy kitteh at the age of 12. You will get used to it and pay it no mind, after a while!

Oh, Kimo ... Dood! Shaved winky? Pee tube? Special foods? How did you manage handlin' all of those indignities? You are definitel the ManCat.
Keep feelin' better, okay?
DMM
Kimo, we are glad to hear you are back where you belong - at home.
You enjoy snoozing dude and regaining your dignity.
Smooches
Poppy and mum q
O, Kimo, we's so glad you's back home. What an experience. It sounds just dreadful, but at least it maked you better.
Drink lots an lots of water, okay.
Love & Purrs,
KC
oh our gosh that is so scary!
one of our cousin cats went thru dat same thing.
we are very happy to hear you feel much betters.
You are HOME! Great! Sesame and Pepper went through the same thing and they are on special good too. They are both feeling good and running around having fun. We hope you will too!
Read about your ordeal over at the Cat Blogosphere. So good you got to go home.
Sorry it took so long to write, but you know how hard it is to get good help these days, and we're just catching up.
Oh man...we're cringing in sympathy for you Kimo. You must have been totally embarassed when those girls were laughing at you! That's terrible. But it's good that you're home and feeling better. Rest & eat your special foods and you'll forget about the whole thing soon.
George & Max
Nice to hear that you are home and on the road to recovery Kimo. Shame that you had to endure some indignities on the way but as everyone keeps saying, your furs will grow back...eventually. Just kidding. Look after yourself !!
Hey Kimo,
I had this happen, too. It was a terrible experience. I have special foods, too, but my investor chose raw food and adding water to my meals over having me eat Science Diet. So far, I've been "going" just fine.
And good luck getting any privacy. Ever since my incident, the woman is always checking on me.
(My word verification: Lates! So, Lates! See ya later, buddy!)
Sounds like a human hospital --- absolutely no privacy! Glad you're home!
Hi there. Glad to hear you got through your V-E-T ordeal ok and that you are back home. I had two of my cats block and I did a lot of reading on urinary issues. While they don't know 100% what causes it, they do know that tehre is an issue with urinary PH. eating plant material does raise urinary ph. the special food you are feeding is high in plant material, so they counter act that by adding an acidifier.
You can do better by your kitties if you feed them a low carb grain free diet that is high in moisture. there are a lot of OTC canned foods that fit the bill, there is also raw, that does wonders by cats. To read more about a species appropriate diet, check out http://www.catinfo.org a website run by a vet who actually studies feline nutrition.
This post brought to you despite Muffin, who did her best to disrupt my typing. typos are all her fault
We are so happy to hear that all went well. Aside of all the humiliation of course! But the most important thing is that you are well again and will stay well!!!
oh kimo, im sure u'll get used to eating all those special foods. they arent so bad afterall. :)
