Thanks For this post, Diana! So far, Ding as been doing well. She has her good days and her "down" days, but she's comfortable and eats well. The cancerous growths haven't increased in size yet and there's no evidence of their spreading, but time will tell.
Thanks to all for keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. It's definately helping. Ellen & Ding

Oh, this is so sad to read now after Diana's recent passing. I hadn't read the messages in here before, and it never occurred to me that Diana had thought enough of us to do this!
Would that Diana, too, had received the same miracle that little Dinghy cat did back during 2004/2005. Ding's seeming breast cancer was a false alarm, and there was no sign of it at a follow-up exam some months later.
However, now Ding is in renal failure. At 15 years of feline age it is no surprise. She is doing comfortably so far and we are administering re-hydration therapy to her 3 or 4 times a week.
How I wish that Diana were still here with us!! E&D

The best to you and Dinghy cat today, Ellen.
We have three cats in this household, none of them belong to me. There is Teashzmo, a big white male, semi-longhaired cat, Toonces, a male that looks a lot like "Toonces, the Driving Cat," and Otis, the black and white male "cow cat."
It is a bright and sunny morning here in Dallas. I think it is going to be hot, hot today.

Hello to you, Kat! I'm still working at learning the WP Forum "ropes" here, so bear with me. Somebody in your household has a creative knack for naming cats! My neighbor, Sherrie, sure needs a lesson from your cat "namer!" She has an odd assortment of cats in both coloring and personality~just begging for something more distinctive than their "Star," "Patch," "Sam," and, well, finally there IS "Champagne!"
I felt such empathy for you reading your post in the WP about your aunt and uncle. The last one of the senior generation in my Father's family died several years ago, and your post recalled all my sadness at "closing the chapter" on that flambouyantly fascinating family.
Todays been a welcome change from our recent heat wave here in Portland. Our high was 70 something and it's been raining, very gently and sporadically most of the day. E&D

"Teashzmo" is an unbelieveable name. I would not think there is another "Teashzmo" in the world.
That one began when my daughter and son-in-law ordered something through the mail. "Teashzmo" is a really bad spelling of their last name that somebody at the company from whom they were ordering came up with. That is who the order was sent to. Fortunately there was a good address with it.
My son-in-law and daughter thought that new name was so interesting/funny, that they named the white kitten "Teashzmo." Why waste a good name, huh. ;-).
Haha, my daughter gets after me when I don't pronounce the "shz" in the cat's name. I used to call him "Tease-mo."

Yes, my aunt and uncle are the last of that generation. It is kind of scary that WE are closely getting to be the oldsters now.
I am glad to hear that you are having a little more like Oregon type weather now. We seem to be sliding into our regular summertime HOT pattern. Air conditioning is mandatory here at this time of the year.
We really do need to get the smart guys who know stuff, on the stick here, so we can use all this solar energy for electricity to cool us.

That is a neat story about Gypsy and her kitties. I am so glad it ended well. You did have us afraid for her there for a while.
