Day 25 Life with Zeke

Dear Diary:

No matter what I do I cannot seem to make this human understand the command "Put the cat food down NOW."  I am now trying my newly found hypnotic trance stare to make her follow my every command.

"Put the food down now.  Now.  Put the food down.  Get the can of food.  Open it.  Put it on the cat plate."

Alas, it is not working. . .

Dear Ms. Calico

May 28, 2010

Dear Ms. Calico:

Thank you so much for sending me your address.  I have thought about "us" often and hoped you were doing well after your therapy at MU.  So how are you spending your days in Isolation?  Do you have anyone to care for you?  Are you allowed outside to check out the peonies and soon the daisies?

I have been sitting on the deck this afternoon, mellowing out after another night in my laundry room prison.  It is not as hot as it had been so I am enjoying the peace and solitude.  However Kiki awaits my return indoors so we can chase each other around the house.  Don't be jealous - Kiki cannot hold a candle to you, my sweet Princess!

Please write back and tell me how you are doing.  I will keep my laptop on so I can check for your email response!  Oh I hear the dinner bell calling my name.  Later sweets.

Yours,

Zeke the Cat

Meet Zeke the Cat Veterinary Team Members

Meet my MU Tiger Vet Care Team!

While I was not expecting to spend so much time with these people, much less get that weird treatment, I have to say that some days being there were better than being here.

Dear Zeke the Cat MU Vet Team:

I am sorry I haven't written earlier.  I spend most of my time trying to escape the laundry room prison I am being kept in when not begging for Fancy Feast or some other expensive cat food that is probably better than what is on my plate right now.

I need that hot Ms. Calico's phone number - or her email address.  Now that I have access to my cell phone and laptop back, I can resume where we left off, with her looking adoringly at my face and purring like a crazy feline!  I suspect she thought I forgot all about her.  No way, Ms. Calico!  I am just not sure I am ready for a serious long-distance relationship.

If you know her email address please forward to my attention.  I think email or a call will work.  I normally use POST IT notes to break up with my lady friends.
 
Here is my TEAM:

MU faculty Member Dr. Leah Cohn, DVM, was my internal medicine specialist, and Dr. Irka Redelsperger, vet student, was my main caregiver.

Dr. Redelsperger took pictures of me for my BLOG - THANK YOU SO MUCH Dr. Irka!  She always made sure to get my good side so I never looked fat and my Roman nose didn't show in profile.  She also bought me some better cat food since I refused (well, not entirely) to eat that rabbit food they palmed off as cat food.  LOVE YOU - XO XO XO

Left to Right:

1. Dr. Catherine Webb, professional year 3, DVM
2. Dr. Veronica Schwartz (Ms. Calico's vet student-hot, hot, hot); professional 4th year, DVM
3. Dr. Kevin Urday, professional 4th year, DVM
4. Dr. Robert Miller, professional 4th year, DVM
5. Dr. Irka Redelsperger, my personal vet student and personal shopper
6. Dr. Leah Conh, my Internal Medicine Specialist 

GO MIZZOU ZEKE THE CAT TEAM!!
WOO WOO WOO (-imagine my paw in the air going WOO WOO WOO please - do it with me - WOO WOO WOO!)

Zeke the Cat's Feline Hyper-T Treatment Photo Diary - Day 23 Redeaux

May 23, 2010

Dear Dr. Irka and MU Vet Team:

I have looked everywhere in my very very small laundry room for you and cannot find you.  Nothing compares to you coming in to see me daily with that special can of food in your hand.  No one is taking photos of me either which means my 15 minutes of fame is either up or Foster Mom  is too busy to take photos.

She should install a web cam so people can watch me 24.7.  It has to be more fun and enjoyable than watching the BP oil spill off the Coast of LA.

I am not sure when I will be let out of prison, my escape plans appear to go nowhere daily.  Foster Mom is not allowed in my room except to feed me and change the cat pan - she has to wear gloves and cannot spend too much time with me.  I am alone and lonely.  However I have a room that is cozy and warm.  t may not be much of a room but it is MY room.

Sunday I was allowed out to watch part of the last episode of LOST the TV Series.  I cannot believe that Kate woke up next to Bob Newhart.  The next thing I will hear is that Jack was in the shower with Victoria Principal.  I guess Hollywood has run out of interesting endings.

I wanted to watch DWTS last night as I had all my cat food bet on Evan.  I have no idea who won as Foster Mom watched NCIS, American Idol, the news, Law & Order, Married with Children, etc., over the span of 30 minutes.  If I didn't know better I would suspect ADD as she could not stop changing channels.

If you know who won DWTS please email me so I can get some sleep.  I am just grateful KATE was voted off and was not in the finals.  I guess tonight we will watch TOP CHEF Masters if Foster Mom can stay awake long enough.  She has a cold (like I care) and is not spending time with me right now.

When you get this please write.  I think you are the only person who loves me right now.

Love and kisses,

Zeke the Cat

Zeke the Cat's Feline Hyper-T Treatment Photo Diary - Free at Last

Dear Diary:

Free at last, free at last.  I know you have seen this photo before but Foster Mom forgot to bring her camera today when she was picking me up from MU.  All went well and we got out of there in record time.

Dr. Irka and Dr. Cohn came to say good-bye and Dr. Irka even gave me a bath.  I guess I smelled after a week in that hotel.

Anyway it will be good to be home and hanging with my boys. . . .

Zeke the Cat's Feline Hyper-T Treatment Photo Diary - Dr, Irka

May 5, 2010

Dear Diary:

My only human friend is just outside the door.  She is putting on all sorts of extra clothing.  I guess she doesn't want any cat fur on her dark slacks.  Whatever.

Just get in here and feed me, Dr. Irka!  You are my only friend right now and you are the only one who can get me out of here!  You don't have to take Ms. Calico - that is just a brief spring romance.

It will just be you and me - two for the road - Thelma and Louise (OK that is not a great reference as I am a MALE CAT GOD) - Bonnie and Clyde - that is more like it!

We can grab a motorcycle outside the hotel and just head for the border.  Bring a small helmet and some food.  I can just grab my papers once we get past the guards.  I promise I will take care of you.  I can get a job in Hollywood or even in the Mexico cinema.  I hear they are looking for a new cat to play Puss-n-Boots in the next Shrek movie.  Apparently the one they have now wants to negotiate his contract terms.

Just let me know what you think.  And please don't mention this to Ms. Calico.  In case you don't leave with me I need options while I am here.

Zeke the Cat's Feline Hyper-T Treatment Photo Diary - Girlfriend whatcha thinking?

May 4, 2010


Dear Diary:

I am a BABE magnet.  A CAT GOD.  I mean, look at that hot calico next to me.  She is the one who got treated April 30 when I freaked out.  She has just started to realize I told her it was no big deal.

Still, she cannot take her eyes off of me and she is always trying to touch me through the metal bars.  And she just talks and talks.

I am loving it but could use some sleep.  But all she wants to do is talk about where this relationship is going, do I have a job, what are my life goals, do I watch LOST the TV series, and last of all, how big is my retirement package!

Jeez you would think she would understand this is just a fling.  I didn't mean to lead her on or anything.
