Dia de los Muertos

Happy Day of the Dead! I got my sugar skull bandanas on to celebrate.

¡Happy Día de los Muertos!

Happy Día de los Muertos amigos! I'm wearing my new bandana Grandma made me to celebrate - and remembering all my dog and cat siblings who have passed - Bonham, Crockett, Maurice, Jezebel, Finley, and Whitley. I miss all of y'all and somebody I'll see you again - maybe in another 20 years or so. 😉

Wordless Wednesday

 

Día de los Muertos

 

¡Feliz día de los muertos! I'm rocking my calavera bandana today, and remembering my pals who have passed - Crockett, Maurice, Jezebel, Whitley, and Finley. I think some bacon in their honor would be appropriate, but since momma decided to eat a grilled cheese sandwich and Doritos instead, I think I are outta luck there. Maybe this weekend . . . 

Gato de Los Muertos

 

Today are da second day of Día de Los Muertos. And no, it's not Mexican Meowloween, it is a celebrayshun to honor the dead. So I decided to build my own kitty ofrenda.

I put up pickshures of Angels Jezebel, Maurice, and Crockett. Our family has had more kitties, but those are the ones that I purrsonally knew. And I lit a candle for them and put up some toys for them to play with when they come visit. Oh, and the Tentaciones de Muertos. See, the dead kitties can't actually eat them, but they get to "taste" them when they come visit. And I get to eat them as I remember them. Yum.

Hey Angels Jezebel, Maurice, and Crockett - I miss y'all. I am doing my best everyday to demand as much food as possible - I know y'all would be proud!

Día de los Muertos

Hey pals! Today it are da second day of día de los muertos, the Mexican holiday that celebrates the dead.

We're celebrating by wearing our día de los muertos bandanas.

Día de los muertos wuz also da momma's theme this Meowloween - some of y'all said ya wanted to see pictures, so here ya go. And ya know my momma - there are a LOT of pickshures. 

My momma.

She made the bandana and skirt herself (she already had the top). Bowie's momma helped wif her makeup.

They had tejano and mariachi music going outside.

Da mommas also made da flower garland. 

Here's the front yard.

Angelique's momma.

A double dead selfie.

Bowie's momma.

Bowie's momma made her headdress and skirt too - along wif making em for Angelique!

My momma and my grandma.

Bowie's momma mostly did her own makeup, but my momma helped some.

Another pic of the front yard.

The skulls are paper mâché - made and painted by da mommas.

My momma painted this pumpkin.

My momma did this one.

It looks like a fiesta for shures!

As ya an probably figger out, my momma wuz pretty happy wif da decorayshuns.

She found these toys at Party City.

And she painted this sign.

They had a good Halloween - passing out candy, then going out to eat and to the movies.

My momma even scared a trick or treater who thought she wuz a decorayshun until she moved!

Ok, now for my health update. It's confusing. 

My blood results came back and my liver enzymes are high - my ALT is 341. Looking at my past results, before I wuz sick, my normal seemed to be around 50. Now, I have been on prednisolone, which can increase ALT numbers, but probably not that much. We found this out on Halloween and the vet wanted me to come in for fluids (even though he did NOT give my momma a diagnosis). My momma couldn't bring me in and I wuz eating, drinking, and being very active. And she wuzannoyed with da vet - no real results so far and he wuz rude and said he knew there were "budgetary concerns" when I went in on Tuesday. Well, yeah, EVERYONE has a budget. And she has spent thousands of dollars on this and can't afford to spend thousands every week for fluids when I am doing well at home. Well, Friday morning, he calls Bowie's momma and leaves a snotty message asking what we are going to do about my hepatitis. Like we are uncaring people. My momma has been worried about me for OVER a month now, I've been going to the vet and he can't seem to figure out how to fix me. It feels like he is just throwing s%#t at the wall to see what sticks - and charging us through da nose for it. So she's going to wean me off of the steroids this weekend - if I keep eating and doing well, good. If I don't, we're going to another vet for a second opinion. My momma has also ordered me some liquid hepato (milk thistle) - we've given it to animals (Maurice and Finley) with liver issues before with good results.

So that's the news for me. Angelique and Bowie are both doing good - even if they didn't get chikken livers like me. Being sick has its advantages I guess.

Oh, and my momma has some día de los muertos Caturday art to contribute - a gato de muertos!

Happy Caturday!

Sunday Selfies

Well, Crockett may have won da best Meowloween costume - after all, it are hard to compete wif a Razzberry Rasta Cat.  But I are da only one who got to wear da Día de los Muertos bandana, so I think I are winnin da Sunday Selfies.

Angelique are pretty sure she are winnin da selfie by not havin to wear a bandana.  At least my momma's hands ain't bleedin today.  Dey needs time to heal, MOL!

And Crockett has a raspberry again - dis time it are for da complete lack of bacon today!  What the meow??
