Tanya the Cat – Road Trip
Posted by Fay on September 7, 2009
Fay and Bob just took me on another really, really long road trip. I don’t like it when I have to be “secret kitty” when they take me into a hotel. I stay real quiet when Fay bundles me in a towel. I always find my litter box and food in the hotel so that’s not too bad. When I ride in the car I get lots of attention so that makes the car more fun.
This trip lasted over two months and I got to explore a house in Naples FL. They told me I couldn’t go to the real outside, only the screened outside (lanai), because I would be an appetizer for one of the gators in the lake or the fire ants would bite me.
I didn’t like the lanai and pool much but would force myself outside if Fay and Bob were there because I liked being with them. A raccoon came to visit the front porch one day. That was exciting. One day Fay left the front door open for a minute and I scooted down the driveway. Fay was afraid I would get flea bites like I did last year in Clearwater FL but she has been giving me a good medicine so I didn’t get fleas.
I have been drinking lots of water and I lost 11 oz of weight since May so Fay was really worried about me, I only weighed 5 lbs and now even less. She took me to see the pretty Dr. Vee for tests. Turns out I am pretty ok, no thyroid, kidney or diabetic problems but I have to eat more. Dr. Vee gave me a new special food to help protect my kidneys. Fay and Bob have bowls of food in three places in the house. I have my regular food and one dish is in the TV room and one on the porch. I have been a pretty good girl and am nibbling on the food when I sit by them. I only want to eat dry food and I don’t want to eat it if it has been in my dish for a few hours so I am keeping Fay and Bob busy with “fresh” food in my bowl. I have three water bowls too.
I am glad to be in my “real” home and hope I don’t have any more road trips soon. I like to write in the blog. I hope you enjoy it also.
P.S. Bob an Fay think I am a little spoiled but they are wrong. I’m a princess and they are my servants and they LOVE ME and will do anything for me.
P.S. From Fay and Bob- We love Tanya and we gladly do anything for her!!!
