Movie Monday

Update on Beignet:  The news isn't good.  The pathology report showed a fibrosarcoma and there were cancer cells at the edge of the tumor, so he must have another surgery tomorrow (Tuesday).  The vets are shocked at the results because the tumor grew so quickly in such a young kitten.  Based on articles I've been researching, this type of tumor tends to happen in about 1% of cats.  He could survive the surgery tomorrow, but he will need very special attention the rest of his life.  Any needle going through the skin could cause another tumor.  Unfortunately, Beignet will not be coming to live with Truffle and me.  He'll stay with Mom Terri, who will take excellent care of him.  Please keep this little guy in your prayers as he faces another surgery and an uncertain future.  I feel like I'm losing Sweet Praline all over again.  Both Mom Terri and I are so sad.

I just adore Truffle's little personality.  She appears to love to play and even when one of the other kittens gets in her way, takes her toy, or pounces on her, she gets up and continues to play.  I hope you enjoy these two little movies of Truffle at 8 weeks old.



Truffle has the darker gray fur in these videos.  Nothing seems to phase her, does it?



I also wanted to share a updated picture of Truffle and Beignet (at 11 weeks old) that  Terri sent me last night.  They are really developing their own looks as they get older.  Truffle is on the left and Beignet is on the right.  If you want to see all of the pictures (35), you can visit my facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2353587121025.138989.1290590442&type=1. 

 

Please remember to keep Beignet in your purrs and prayers this week as he recuperates from his surgery and that his pathology report will be negative!

Pee ess - Just a little note to thank all of you for your continued visits, purrs, purrayers, prayers, and support.  I've been on the road an average of 3 days a week since June and now my office is changing locations and the move date is this Saturday.  I'm really behind in my visits to your blogs, but please know that I'll be back visiting soon!  You're a very special group!
