I’m not sure they’ll take the demotion.

Thanks for the cat scan ping.

Several months later, Janet suffered a mini-stroke and an irregular heartbeat. A CAT scan was then ordered.

Of course this was only after several that had already been performed.

Aww! I love that little guy.

It's one of my favorites too. The "little guy" is probably 20 pounds of Dr. Bossy Cat and master of all he surveys by now.

Those dang cuties always get spoiled.

[Slings and Arrows]

My cats are undoubtedly a proof of principle.

The correct answer is:

I’ll bet he heard the vibration (bruit) of the aneurysm. He probably thought she was purring? Very cool.

Does that include a dog in my crotch?**********

Your doggie is just in love with you....:O)

Our female cat weighs about 7.5-8 lbs. and she usually curls up close next to my upper abdomen as I sleep on my left side with my body pillow (she’s on it too). The last few days, when she leaves in the morning to her routine treat and play time with my hubby, the male cat who weighs about 12 lbs. tries to take her place next to me. He always wakes me up and I don’t even have to look up or touch him to know it is him. You wouldn’t think 50% more weight would make that big of a difference, but it really does. He is TOOOO heavy for me and I usually have to move around a bunch to get him off of me! I do love having them around but I sleep better not having them on top of me.

Cat scans and Lab tests?? LOL

I’m just glad neither cat sleeps on my head.
