Billy Sweetfeets and Dr. Buddy

A few days ago we learned that Billy Sweetfeets Norton Gingersnap has cancer.   He has always been a happy, loving mancat who loves to dance so we wanted to do a happy post for him. He's not sure how much time he has left - a couple months ... a year.  We hope he will be sharing many months with his family.

Billy and his brothers Sammy, Miles and Nikki from Meezer Tails are old blogging buddies. Six years ago, Dr. Buddy operated on Billy's brain.  Billy was a great patient and we had a lot of fun writing a 3-part story on the subject.  Because we love Billy, the Meezers and Mom Mary, we decided to take a trip down memory lane today. You are welcome to join us for a smile.

Jan left this comment on The Meezers blog: Hey, Meezers the Mom, Freckles and Deb suggested I ask you if you are aware Sammy & Miles told Buddy they are sending Billy over for brain surgery? They even offered to sign the pre-surgery forms since Billy is underage. Buddy is sharpening his scalpel. Is this okay with you?

The Meezers: Deer Jan and Buddy, I is aware that Sammy the great and Miles the wonderful haf signed Billy the weerd up for brain surjery. I am hopeing that Buddy can find out what is wrong wif him. Sin-seer-lee, MeezerMomMerry.

Jan: Uh, the Meezer Mom, this is Jan again. I received your permission for Buddy to operate on Billy's brain but I'm a little suspicious. The spelling looks more like Sammy and Miles' pawwriting. Did they intercept my message and "give permission" or are you actually in agreement?

Percy: Well, today was Buddy's big day. His first scheduled brain surgery is finished. Billy Sweetfeets was volunteered by his brothers, Sammy and Miles Meezer. They wanted to find out why Billy is "weerd."

Cyndi: I was Dr. Buddy's assistant. I was afraid I would pass out at the sight of blood. I didn't. I barfed. All over Dr. Buddy. At least I missed the patient and the sterile instruments.

Sam: Then she passed out. Instead of falling backwards so I could catch her, she fell sideways, landing on Merci, who screeched and dropped the emergency phone. It rolled out of her reach under the operating table.

Cameron: Perhaps we should begin at the beginning and give you an abbreviated account of our day in the operating room.

Yesterday's post on Billy's Brain Surgery brought some interesting comments. We're still exhausted so we're just going to share some of them with you today.

Eric & Flynn left a message on The Meezer's blog: We googled green spots in the brain and it appears that Billy has been taken over by aliens!

We left a comment at the Meezer's too: Hey, guys, we're relieved to read Eric & Flynn's comment above. So that's what happened to Billy's brain. We're glad you enjoyed the surgical experience, Billy. Or at least most of it. We hope your head isn't too sore today. Miles & Sammy, we hope you are happy your little brother is home safe and sound. Buddy turned out to be a very competent surgeon. Much more competent than when he tried plumbing.

A Cat On Her Head

Percy:  Hey, before we get to our regular Friday news, we just have to tell you.  Miles is shipping himself around the country with his brother Sammy trying to catch up to him in a mail truck.

Sam:  Yes, perhaps this will teach him to stop mailing Miles out of state.  But I doubt it.

Cyndi:  The man in the blue shorts - well, actually, it's a lady in the blue shorts that delivers our mail.  Miles shipped himself here and the lady in the blue shorts delivered him to our front porch. He's really good-looking, you know.  Too bad his heart is with Angel Sanjee.

Cameron:  Yes, we all got to meet him.  And he's fun.  He likes to sleep upside down too.

Buddy:  He complained about the taste of dog treats, though.  What kind of cat complains about dog treats tasting weird?  They're delish!

Merci:  Well, his mom doesn't have any dog treats at home, so this was something new.  You know how fussy cats are about their food.

Rusty:  We have lots of cat goodies around here, so he didn't starve.  He just got to try something new.

Micah:  We haven't had any company since I moved in last year, so it was neat to meet a foreigner.

Percy:  Um, Micah, Miles isn't a foreigner.  He's from New York.

Micah:  Oh.  I've never been to New York.  Do you think it would cost much to ship ourselves up there for a visit?

Buddy:  Yeah, that could be fun.  All we'd need would be a large box and we can search the house for loose change to pay the postage.

Cyndi:  Uh, excuse me, guys, but I don't think there's enough loose change in the state of Georgia to ship all of us including Sam Brick Butt

Merci:  You're right.  Maybe Sam can sell donuts to pay his own way.

Cameron:  Nah, he'd eat them. 

Sam:  Did you say we have donuts?  Are there any left?  I'll just go check.

Rusty:  You can read about Miles' visit at Meezer Tails.

Hey, we're all excited because it's Funny Farmer Friday for us felines over at Mousebreath again.  This week we interviewed all the kitties from The Cat On My Head.  There are 8 of them.  Let's see if we can remember all the names - Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo.

Their mom is a Cute Head.  She signed up with Cute Transport Network at Your Daily Cute to help transport kitties to their new home or a rescue. The drivers are called Cute Heads. 

Stop by Mousebreath to read Every Cute Head Needs A Cat … or Eight.  We think you'll enjoy it.
