Feline Luxating Patella
After hours of worrying and jumping to the worst case scenario, my Kitty is okay!
The Vet just called me and told me she has a luxating patella, which causes pain the knee joint, which pops out of place. In Penny's case it is genetic, and before we jump into surgery the Doc says we should have her lose some weight and it may help! If we do need surgery eventually, she told me that cats do very well! So I feel SO much better that this is something fixable and not fatal!
Can't wait to pick her up in a few hours!

Nail Envy
While goofing around on my latest addiction, Pinterest, I saw a picture of these BAD ASS nails (the black ones with the studs)! So I went on to find the blog they came from and it's even more amazing then I imagined. Her name is Sammy and her blog is called The Nailasaurus. She is doing this thing called the 31 Day Challenge, where she does a different nail design for 30 days (on the 31st day she repeats her favorite), and each day has a specific criteria.
Here are a couple of my favorites...
This one's not from the challenge but clearly I had to show you the amazing chevron print...

PS: Waiting not so patiently to hear back from the vet. Fingers crossed.

Penny Angel
Something is wrong with my little baby. :(
The other morning she jumped onto my bed to wake me up and started crying and sweating from her paws. Immediately I took her to the Kitty ER to have her checked out. There they checked her vitals and she was fine, so I took her to the Vet when they opened. We had blood tests done along with a bunch of other tests, and they all came back normal. She is typically an anxious cat, so our conclusion was that she must have been scared or anxious about something (she did have some fun surprises stuck to her bottom so we figured it could have been that).
However the past couple of days she has been limping on either foot and it's getting worse. She can't seem to stand up very easily, and this is just within the past two hours. Tomorrow morning I have an appointment to get X-rays on her lower spine and legs.
Please pray for Penny.
