A Lexy Diary (transcribed in hoomanspeak by slave):

Day One
After many cat days of being prodded by people who thrill in torture, I have returned. To prison.

~~Guard~~ Mother is faffing a bit, frankly she should just put her head in the oven for all the good she does me. I slept in my cell, on my blanket, my toilet just a paws throw away, and a bowl of water. It's incatmane I tell you.

I am told my sentence is 10 cat weeks. ~~Guard~~ I attempted my escape, unsuccessfully this morning, and have now been returned to my cell. It appears my claw and fangs are not deterrents.

I'm off to dream of Paddy. And plot my next escape.

Am flying through, as on me way to Stevenage and leaving in 15 ins, but Paddy said I had to log on, and see - and I saw. Am soooo pleased Lexy's op went well, less so about the cage rest as know how much this will get to you both

but Paddy says "be d'bravest and bestust" of his girls and - "anuvver Bloo banduj!

I still gots me firstest....

Pleased she is home and can understand her not being happy but dont be tempted to do anything too soon

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #108 on:** September 22, 2009, 20:50:32 PM »

That's true and Monica coped in a pen smaller than the cage. It just seems so tiny and Lexy is not happy right now.

Oh bring on tomorrow, I think me being home makes it more difficult so when I'm at work she can snooze away with the kitty dvd playing for her to keep her entertained.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #107 on:** September 22, 2009, 20:48:29 PM »

Ruth 5 weeks seems forever but you and Lexy will soon sail through, Monica coped for 5 weeks

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #106 on:** September 22, 2009, 20:28:30 PM »

Well, we're home. Journey got a bit bumpy but no grumbles.

Madam is in her cage and has gone to eat some of her food, she's clearly ravenous. She's not very happy with me and can't seem to understand why she can't come out to join me and it appears is plotting ways to get out.

Suffice it to say, I am relieved she's home. Two weeks in the cage though

with only limited time out with me, lap time that I can extend slowly but only after the two weeks. 3 weeks more like and then another 3 with limited movement.

Oh, and Paddy, Lexy has another fetching blue banduj for you

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #105 on:** September 22, 2009, 17:48:09 PM »

So very glad to hear that Lexy's coming home this evening

Cage rest, eh?

Has to be done though...

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #98 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:28:57 PM »

Lexy is still at the vets, I'm collecting her later.

She has to have crate rest for a few weeks

but it's for the best.

I visited this moring as was allowed to spend some time with her. A little grumpy but mostly just scared.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #97 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:15:49 PM »

Hoping you havent felt the Lexy claw yet and that she is doing well

Bazsmum · « **Reply #96 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:14:14 PM »

Hoping that miss Lexy is home by now and not blaming you too much for this.....

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #95 on:** September 22, 2009, 07:52:29 AM »

I am glad the surgery went well, it might also be worth starting on glucosamine supplements now for her arthritis.

sheryl · « **Reply #94 on:** September 21, 2009, 22:58:49 PM »

So glad that Lexys surgery went well - I bet she will get more sleep than you tonight.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #93 on:** September 21, 2009, 22:50:54 PM »

So pleased the surgery went well and Lexy should have a good nights sleep

I hope she recovers quickly and reckon your friend is right, your demise as planned by Lexy will soon follow

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #92 on:** September 21, 2009, 22:21:11 PM »

Cant believe this is first chance I`ve had to check on Lexy; well Done Lexy wishing you a speedy recovery and heaven help your poor mum if you need pills

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #91 on:** September 21, 2009, 21:59:15 PM »

So pleased that surgery went without a hitch Ruth and glad you were sensible enough to take tomorrow off. Can you imagine trying to concentrate on work?

Hope you get some shut eye coz need to retain your strength to perform best ever slave duties tomorrow

clarenmax · « **Reply #90 on:** September 21, 2009, 21:49:51 PM »

Glad Lexy's surgery went well, albeit later than expected, and only one sleep until she comes home again

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #89 on:** September 21, 2009, 20:57:27 PM »

Thanks everyone. It means so much to me, it really does, the support you give.

Mark, yes, I took tomorrow off so I could spend it with her.

Baggy · « **Reply #84 on:** September 21, 2009, 20:17:42 PM »

Shame you can't see Lexy today but great that the surgery all went well

Just don't tell her she's got to lose weight after she comes home...!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #83 on:** September 21, 2009, 20:17:02 PM »

sorry but!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #82 on:** September 21, 2009, 20:03:02 PM »

It was a terribly long day.

My friend Jess is so great. I was on the phone talking to Axa when they asked me what breed she is, so I said (stupidly) "a cat". And immediately Jess said "miaow". I found that so hysterically funny the poor man from Axa must have thought he had a nutter on the phone. If it wasn't for Jess the day would have been unbearable. That and coming on and reading about Garcia and the Sir Alots.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #81 on:** September 21, 2009, 20:01:02 PM »

I already am, Christine.

Got home and missed her calling for me, our "hello" cuddle. And am now sitting eating my dinner and feel terribly guilty as I never eat without Lexy getting her meal first.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #80 on:** September 21, 2009, 19:59:27 PM »

So glad that her surgery is now over and she has been a star at the vets.....Today must of been one of the longest days in your life!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #79 on:** September 21, 2009, 19:56:56 PM »

What a relief - and Lexy will be sleeping it off tonight so won't be upset (even if you miss her terribly, as of course you will)

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #78 on:** September 21, 2009, 19:37:15 PM »

Due to a few emergencies at the surgery Lexy didn't get put under under 5:30pm. She has now only started to come out of it and she's in recovery. By the time she's ok to be seen by me it will be too late, so I will wait until morning to call up and find out if she can come home.

Vet said surgery went well, all repaired though due to her previous issues in her knees she does have some arthritis so we will need to get her to lose weight more rigorously than before. She's been a gem for them (apparently) though my friend Jess told me today (in an attempt to get me out of my funk) that Lexy had probably spent the day plotting my demise.

So, thank you all so much for your thoughts and good vibes, really do appreciate it. My mind has been a bit muddled today

Thank you xxx

Awww, I'm sure everything will be fine with Lexy's op, fingers and toes crossed

Its horrible when we have to leave them, when Maxy had his dental a few years ago I burst into tears as well, just shows how much we love our babes

xxxx

Janeyk · « **Reply #76 on:** September 21, 2009, 13:39:21 PM »

Hope that everything goes well today for Lexy xx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #75 on:** September 21, 2009, 12:13:25 PM »

The trip to the vets with a cat scared as Lexy is a real ordeal and I swear it takes more out of the owner than the cat!

I am sure she will be fine and everything will go well. Its at times like these that although we know how much we love our little friends, it becomes clear that we are inseperable

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #74 on:** September 21, 2009, 11:57:52 AM »

everyone

I got madam to the vets a little late due to terrible traffic, so the journey was a little difficult as Lexy was, naturally, wary of all the cyclist wizzing past the car.

When we got to the vet, there was a large lorry outside that banged their door so Lexy huddled into the corner of the carrier into a little ball. You know that complete trance they get into when they try to make themselves invisible? Well that's what Lexy did.

I checked her in, and I was fine until the nurse started asking me all sorts of questions about thinks Lexy liked and didn't like (food/cuddles etc) and then I just burst into tears. Lexy refused to look at me she was so fixated on the corner of the carrier.

I told her I loved her and then left, cried all the way to work.

I know it's just a knee op, I know she's done this before. It's me that's ruining the soles of my shoes (

Teresa, you reminded me I am human

) worrying about her.

Anyway, nurse told me I can visit her tonight, so will stop over for as long as they let me.

Bring on the evening, I want to see my little girl.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #73 on:** September 21, 2009, 11:46:27 AM »

Good luck, Lexy.

Lexy - the boys asked me to send you a magical healing head kiss for when you wake up
