Finally Friday

Rocky: I am SO glad it's finally Friday! We spent Thanksgiving Day giving thanks that nothing else has gone wrong this week!

First, you'll notice there's no picture of me in this post. That's because my human artist broke our flashy thing this week! I need to choose the winner of our Crazy Cat Lady necklace and earrings raffle for Moki, but there's no flashy thing to provide quality control! I ordered a new flashy, and as soon as it arrives I'll select a winner ... so you still have time to buy tickets.

Also, we need some purrs and purrayers for our neighbor and good friend Kay, who my mom had to rush to the hospital Tuesday. Kay has some serious 100% heart blockages and only one of them could be repaired with a stent. She might get to come home today, but has to go back to the hospital for more procedures soon. Kay is a wonderful cat and woofie lover / artist who has started to assist me with some of our beading. My mom has been spending lots of time at the hospital with her and she's very worried about our friend.

Our good friend Lois needs some purrs, too. She has been in cancer treatment for several years now and finally had to go off medical leave because her former company closed down. First she found out that her Cobra medical insurance will cost her almost $1,000 green papers a month, and she only gets $1,300 green papers a month from disability. Then the very next day, she found out that she may have metastases in her lungs. She gets Herceptin and other intravenous treatments for her bones every month that cost more than $7,000 each, and now she may have to go back on chemotherapy, too. We think this is awful that her insurance company could do this to her and we're all purring & purraying very hard for a solution, if you'd like to join us.

And my mom could use a few purrs, too. Right before the holiday my Almost Dad Jim decided he could find a better family than Artsy Catsy, and he had the nerve to tell this to my poor mom in an E MAIL! Grrrrrrrrr!! Mom says that's the least of our worries right now, but I really, really, really want to put the bitey on that guy.

My biggest wish right now is that all my blogging friends had a much better Thanksgiving week than we've had!

I don't know what to say, such sad news on so many fronts, especially about nearly DadJim. I am purring for you and my miewmie is praying for you and all those you mentioned. She wants to send you a big big hug.

Cafe Cats said...

Lots of purrs and headbutts coming to you and your families ...except for Almost Dad Jim. He gets big biteys and bunny kicks WIF claws!

Our thoughts are with you and your neighbor and friend. We hope things get better on all fronts, especially because YOUR hearts are so big and good.

That was not a nice thing that Jim did with an email :-( Simba puts a virtual bitey on him for being a coward and using email, and causing your heart to be so hurt.

seriously amused said...

We're speechless and that doesn't happen often. So much all at once.

We're sending headbutts and purrs, and Mom is sending prayers for everyone.

Big cyberhugs to you and your Mom,

Ms. P, Cinza and the Mom

Gemini and Ichiro said...

Oh none of that is good news. We will start purring right away.

Niko and Cloud said...

We have our purrers on high alert for you. What a rough week!

The Island Cats said...

Wow! Lots of stuff happening with you guys...we are getting our purrers rev'ed up on high cuz you guys (and your friend and neighbor) really need some purrs....

Parker said...

Wow Rocky, how terrible on all accounts!
We will pray for your friends and we will wait to see what Karma does to ADJ's sorry behind.

The Meezers or Billy said...

Daisy said...

Oh dear! I am sending my best purrs to Kay and Lois and hope they will both get better soon.

And if I ever see that Jim, I will be forced to give him the Bitey. A BIG one, too.

Ikaika said...

We are so sorry to hear about the sad news you all have had and are sending many healing purrs your way. If you want, I will also send my sister, Tanith, to yak on Jim's shoes ... she's very good at it.

Big kitty hugs,

'Kaika

OMC's dats alot to worry bout this time of year! We will purr fer dem beans.

The mom has suggested dat Lois 'should' qualify fer insurance because of the disability, either thru state or fed social security level.


And the mom didnt has many nice words for the almost dad that is a jerk! We offer to help put the bitey on him too, tell him to bend over first!!!!!

Peggy's Place said...

OMC, when it rains, it pours. We are sending warm and luving thoughts your way. As for the wimp Jim, you are probably better off without him. There are 6 of us who would be very happy to put lots of biteys on him-Us 5 cats and mom.

I am so, so sorry. Very rough time for you and yours. - Cathy

mog said...

Wow! When it rains, it pours. Such bad news. Purrrrrrs and purrayers for all except Jim. Kitties will put the biteys on him for his cowardly deed.

The Florida Furkids said...

Lots of purrs and purrayers on the way (except for almost Dad Jim....we're putting the biteys on him too...where could there be a better family than Artsy Catsy?)

Quill and Greyson said...

Oh my it is a bad time over there. In an email, what an a@@h!le. Purrs to all of you.

Anonymous said...

We are purrin and prayin for you, your family, and friends. So much to happen at once is hard on the head and heart. We would like to join the line to put the bitey, scratchin, and furrballs on ADJ. We could all get together and put a ginormous (mommy's fave word) kitty attack on him.
Love, Scooby and Spikey

Max said...

All that bad news is awful. I'm sorry. But the one bright thing is that at least AlmostDad didn't become Dad before finding out that he's not quite a man yet. 'Cause truly, a real man doesn't do that in email.

Chesney Cats said...

We are purring & purraying for your sick friends & hope they are better soon.

As for adj, Max is right, at least he didn't become your dad first. Our "Daddy" is a jerk like Jim, that's why it's just us & Mama. We also want to join in on the bitey pile you got going. We hope he gets a hairball!! Tell your mom to hang in there, we're purring for her & your whole family. Mama says it does get better with time.

Hugs & Purrs,
Sammy, Festus & Emma

For a small mercy at least that is the 3 things.. but what things!!!Ima get my whole families to be sending purs your way for your friends and for you..
Karma always catches up..
Momma says that the universe is all about balance.. people call it karma, but all it is, is the universe setting the balance correct again, what gets given or taken away from one place must be balanced elsewhere.
So while AJ's balance will not be nice, all you guys sure must have something nice going to happen :) Just hang in there guys, it never seems like it at the time but it does always work out..
It's the universes way :)

Grahamn Kracker said...

I hope that new flashy thing gets there quick!'

My best for Kay and Lois. Insurance companies... grrrrr!

I have my own stories.

Everycat said...

Rumbly purrs to Lois and Kay.
Hugs and purrs to your Mom and all of the Artsy Catsy Cats
Massive savage bitey, claws and bunny kicks of doom to the cowardly Almost Dad and horrible insurance company.

GRRR!

Whicky, Angel, Oliver, Gerry & Mum

possumlady said...

Like all others, purrs and prayers to you and your friends. And, definitely bunny kicks from hell for ADJ! Before the age of the internet, my then fiance broke up with me over the phone in the late 80s--yes, both are cowards and now I thank my lucky stars that we didn't end up together.

Kaz's Cats said...

We're purring and purrarying for your sick furriends, and for your Mom, 'cos she must be hurting right now. Please stick close by her Rocky, and remind her that a real man(cat) wouldn't break-up via email...

{{hugs}}

Gypsy & Tasha & Kaz (Mum)

Christine and FAZ said...

Rocky, what a sad time you're having but we know you're good cats and lovely people and things will improve and we hope your dear friends who are unwell are as good as they can be under their very difficult circumstances. We are thinking of you all. FAZ

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

We are sending purrs for Lois and Kay!

A better home than at Artsy Catsy? That is going to be hard to find. We are purring for your Mom too....and thinking stinky thoughts about Jim.

Charlemagne and Tamar said...

Purrs of support for your family and friends and a big ole' bitey along with some hisses and scratches to ADJ. Not nice at all.

Charlemagne and Tamar
