I hope you had a great evening TC. You certainly deserve it. My feline Friday ended up quite challenging. One of my kitties, Turtle, was not herself yesterday, then this evening she became very lethargic and when I tried to pick her up she yowled in pain. I took her to the vet and she had a temp and a white cell count of 80,000, high end of normal for a cat is 17,000. An ultrasound showed a large amount of free fluid in the abdomen. She had peritonitis and she had emergency surgery and found her abdomen full of fluid and pus. The worry was a perforated bowel, but it turned out the cause was an abscess in the omentum. They cleaned out the abdomen, put a drain in and she’s getting IV antibiotics. She’s stable now and her prognosis is good, but her blood pressure tanked several times and we almost lost her. I apologize for venting and feel like Debbie Downer, but hoping my fabulous feline friends understand. If it comes through, here is a picture of my very sweet Turtle.
Have now viewed the cats three times doing their version of Queen. What a great idea to post here. TC your most recent subscribers may not have seen the earlier Fabulous Feline Friday posts and the photos you included. I’d be very pleased for repeats. Enjoy you upcoming excursion!
You can access the archives here as a paid subscriber. Sorry there wasn't one yesterday, these days right now there's a lot of "distraction." But next Friday for sure.
What a treat to see the beautiful Turtle with her green eyes. Her photo instantly put a huge smile on my face and pure pleasure in my heart! How’s that for “telemedicine!” Thinking about you.
Me too

Looking at the photo - what a sweetie! I'm so happy she's recovering.

Good kitty!
Next week. :-)
Sending light to Turtle and best wishes.
Thank you. I’m headed to the clinic to see her this morning.
Shes beautiful - hope she recovers soon. I know she will be glad to get HOME! Thinking good thoughts, Karen.
Currently awaiting access to view your sweet Turtle. I hope she recovers fully. Artemis sends purrs of healing. So would Apollo if he was awake.
Thank you Ally and Artemis. I think I just gave you access to the picture.
Thank Apollo too when he wakes up.
Done! Beautiful girl.
Turtle update! She’s doing great. Will be on antibiotics for another week or so.
