For several years now, mom let me roam around in the backyard during the day as much as I wanted, because I couldn't jump over the fence anymore. My back legs were too weak, due to my diabetes. But, now that I get insulin injections my legs have improved and I've jumped over the fence twice! Mom was sitting at her computer and saw me waltz up to the front door. She jumped up, ran outside to scoop me up and brought me inside. Then she asked me how I was able to get into the front yard. I stayed mum, so she started spying on me. And yesterday she saw me climb up on my old kitty condo, which is next to the fence. So, she figured out my escape method.
I was going to climb on top of the condo and hop over the fence, but I sat down and tried to act like it was the furthest thing from my mind. But, she took me into the house and I think my days of roaming the backyard may be over!
Weekend Cat Blogging is being hosted this week by Cheyuli at Chey's Place. Go there and check out the big round-up of other blogging kitties. Don't forget the Friday Ark, and the Carnival Of Cats hosted by Amar and Luna at CatSynth
Oh no, you've been sprung!
I bet your Mum is happy though that you can jump once again - it's great news (even though now she'll be spying on you a lot to make sure you don't hurt yourself!)

Wow, it's great that Upsie is so sprightly now! My poor diabetic George is nowhere near that level of action! But then, he is missing a foot and all, so I really can't fault him.
So glad Upsie is doing so much better.

Upsie, you are looking so stealthy lately, and I am glad you can jump again. I am glad you got to be sneaky and say hello at the front door! :)

That is very exciting to hear about!

I'mk ever so glad to hear that your back legs are no more weak... It may be a stress factor for you mom, but it is nonetheless great!
You are such a sweetheart!
Cheers,
Rosa

I'm glad you have your strength back, Upsie, but you need to stay in your yard! Your mom would miss you so much if you escaped.

Hey good for you Upsie! I'm glad you're feeling better! (See, I told you the shots wouldn't be that bad)
Posted by: Zazzy | November 03, 2007 at 07:31 PM
I am so happy that Upsie is feeling so good now!

Hey Jumping Upsie! Stay in your own yard! I'm really glad that you're feeling stronger and better. Snuggles, kitty!

Recently, Rocco (my black kitty) decided to get out of the house for a day. Since Rocco is only an indoor kitty, I guess he got fed up being 'cooped up.'
I couldn't find the little shit for awhile, yes it freaked me out yet in back of me head I'm just hoping that he'll be back soon.
So he did, marking 24hr almost to exact.(4AM)
Hurray for kitties.

I'm glad you got yr jumping legs back Upsie. Yr mum's just trying to protect you from the big bad world as it ain't that nice esp when there's no Mum to feed and care for ya.

Way to go, Upsie - or well, not, I agree anyhow, good news!
Posted by: Pia K | November 05, 2007 at 02:44 PM
You go, Upsie! Just not out of the yard. Too dangerous out there in the big world. But hey, how about you and your new strong legs? That's good news.
Posted by: Julie | November 05, 2007 at 07:14 PM
Wowza Upsie! You certainly have that spring in your step now. Hey...would you send a telepathic message to "my Portland cat", Romeo? He's been missing since Thursday. He got out of his yard...so you stay put and be safe.

WOW! Good for you Upsie! Are you doing the John Basedow program too?
Just wanted to let you and Mum know we're thinking about you. Love from VA. : )
