In Remembrance

A Final Word from Myst

This is Myst. Muddy passed away from heart disease. It took the vet a long time and several visits to discover what happened as Muddy continued to lose weight. Thank-you for your comments through the years. I know Muddy appreciated your love and attention.

--Myst, Terry & Richard

I am not well (This post and all earlier ones were from Muddy.)

I am 13 years old. I can't eat much anymore. Nobody knows what is wrong with me. The vet gave me every test she had and examined me and she can't find out what is wrong. They checked me for everything they could think of. I am just skin and bones now. Terry was crying. The vet is going to see me tomorrow and rerun some tests. The whole problem is that nobody knows what is wrong with me and they can't find anything and no test shows anything. I tested negative for everything.

I don't know how much longer I can take this. I just wanted to let you know.

Myst is a present under the tree we show in the window.

Cards are Still Coming In

Cards are cool. Hope you and your humans are getting cards. I'd rather eat the mice on this card but hey, a drawing of them is pretty good, too.

Using Google's "Auto Awesome" Feature

Notice anything different from yesterday's photo? This is fun!

Looking forward to playing in wrapping paper

It won't belong before we can play in the paper and bows. I can't wait.

WHY is this on my sitting spot?! What the heck is it?

Its Freezing Outside but the Sunlight Feels Soooo Good

Good Monday Morning

Can I have this for my new bed?

Sleeping Anywhere Anytime

This only works if Myst is not awake.

Saturday Morning Sun

We hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. We are busy sleeping off the extra treats we got.

Everyone here is talking about eating turkey tomorrow. I'm down for it.

We are ready for winter with our thick fur coats, even if we only stay inside.

Busy week for Myst and Me

Myst and I both went to the vet. I am losing weight and they did all kinds of tests on me but found nothing wrong. I get to eat lots more moist food now. In fact, I can no longer keep dry food down so I only eat moist food. My weight loss has baffled the vet. It is not hyperthyroidism because the tests showed nothing wrong. I am active and healthy except for losing weight. It's a mystery. I get all kinds of delicious moist cat food now. It's great. They think I have gained a little.

Myst had a litter box problem that made him messy and he had to get a shampoo and hair cut at the vet. He is being given probiotics to settle his stomach and it seems to be working.

We both had our check ups and checked out ok except for the mystery of my weight loss. Maybe it's just that I can't eat dry food anymore.

We decorate the floor with shredded cardboard

This is what happens when cat nip is on the scratch pad. I was here first!!

This is my "It's time to feed me" look

Wonderful moving leaves to watch

Woo hoo! Catnip sprinkled on this! All mine!

Faking Being Relaxed

Happy Halloween. Be safe. Stay inside tonight.

Happy National Cat Day today!

Myst and Me in the Afternoon

Cute Myst

Our Humans are Painting the Garage Floor and I am Waiting it Out

Watching the morning leaves go by

A Relaxing Day at Home (so far)

Myst likes humans to watch football because they make warm beds for hours

See my ears in the background? :)

Myst is too cool to look at us today

Excuse us, but would you please come out and play?

Myst is very alert as he tracks a fly in the house

Pardon me, I was here first.

Myst used to be on Ustream

It was a short-lived show. All he did was sleep.

My thoughts today as I enjoy this shelf spot.

Myst is trying to decide whether or not to attack my tail - he BETTER NOT! hee hee

This is when I was 8 weeks old

My humans and me

Ribbon! Must chase...

Hanging out with my homies

Yawn! This morning is taking too long to happen.

I loved sitting by the new scratching post when I was a kitten

Guardian of the Bathroom-Nobody gets in until they pet me.

Myst thinks this is HIS place to be. We can't do anything here today. :)

Typical Evening: Myst sits on Terry's Legs

Feed me. Now.

Waiting for my turn to look at the early morning

Myst's Secret Sleeping Spot

It's not such a secret since our human showed up with a clicking box. Myst and I have free run of the entire house but Myst likes here right behind the litter box.
