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!

    Truffle is a very determined little girl! You DO know she will always get her way, right? Still purring for Beignet, and anxiously waiting to hear he is good to go!

    When Mom turns on the computer for us each morning, your blog is the first place we come! We just know when your little babies come home, lots will not get done (and a few getting to work late days) because all you'll want to do is play and watch these two darling ones!

    Still keeping those purrs for Beignet coming!

    Those videos are just terrific. Just too short. MOL. Is Truffles bigger than Beignet? Sure looks like or she is just sitting up straighter than Beignet. Gosh this is fun seeing them grow up. Do you have plenty of toys for them?? I bet you do.
    Sending tons of purrs for Beignet in hopes the test will be negative. We just know it will. Not to worry about not visiting, we just enjoy seeing their pictures. Take care.

    We came by to catch up. We were aware of Beignet's surgery from FB, but we haven't been able to do much visiting for a while. The kittens are adorable. Just know you're going to have a ball with them when they get to come home.

    Purrs and tail wags that all is well with Beignet.

    We got to see the photos over at Facebook and we loved the way their personalities are coming out so clearly as they grow up! What cuties---I think Beignet is going to be quite a little lover cat so we are purring especially hard for him.

    The picture of Beignat and Truffle at 11 weeks is fabulous. That should be in your banner at the top! The movies are great of Truffle. Everything will be fine I am sure. Lots of good karma being sent your way.

    We just read the update on Miss Peach about to leave for the bridge and then we read the update on Beignet not being able to come live with you because he has cancer. We're very sorry. We know you've come to love him.

    Mom Paula, "The Boys" and I just happened to stop in tonight to see if there was any news about little Beignet.

    We are in shock...and most likely not more than you. We're so sorry to learn about the results of his test and that he has to have another surgery tomorrow.

    And, of course, that he will not be able to join Truffle and you.

    We'll keep you and Beignet and Terri and Truffle in our thoughts and prayers.

    Oh dear...instead of great joy, we know it is now tempered with sadness for Beignet. Teri has been a vet tech since 1972 and she can't ever remember a kitten so young being diagnosed with fibrosarcoma. We know both your and Terri's hearts must be breaking, but try and be like our cats and put one paw in front of the other and try to not worry but to stay strong for sweet Beignet, and Truffles.

    If there is anything that our Teri can do, please don't hesitate to contact her, ok...

    I pray and trust that God and Terri will care for him, as you let little Truffle bring healing to your hurting heart.

    Awwww Truffle is just adorable! What a darling! Take care
