Monster Update and Truth is Stranger than Fiction
Monster is doing a lot better! He is actually eating now and seems to be getting some of his old energy back. Or at least enough energy to jerk away while I am trying to give him a shot so that I stab myself with a needle full of anti-coagulant. Also, did you know that near-kitty-death experiences raise cuteness levels to near toxic levels?
Anyway, did Chemska and I ever tell you all about Sister Annie DeMaupassant, the Radical Nun? We read this play a while back called "The Meaning and Purpose of the Universe"(link to google preview of play anthology: Christopher Durang Explains it All for You), which is the story of a house wife with a horrible life and the divine powers intervening to make it worse than ever. Sister Annie is actually one of the divine powers that interferes in her life by convincing her husband to kidnap the pope. Now, this is pretty out there as far as plot lines go. Hilarious but unlikely. Those of you who read Wonkette however are sure to appreciate the story of George's younger brother Neil. Conveniently, he is connected through a mutual business venture to the then Cardinal Ratzinger now Pope Benedict XVI. Ratzinger was involved in the Hitler Jugend and an Anti-Aircraft gunner in Germany. Neil has been involved in many many scandals and is probably as corrupt as, well, words fail me.
Stranger than fiction. Truly.

Yay Monster!!! Kisses!
Oh good! I'm glad Monster is getting better. So what was wrong with him? I'll read the rest on Pope Rat later, I really hate that guy.
Monster had an arterial thromboembolism triggered by heart disease and aggravated by congestive heart failure. Basically it is like having a stroke/heart attack combination where you get paralysis in a limb along with fluid in the lungs and arythmia. The people at the University of Minnesota small animal clinic are really amazing. Monster is up and around and causing trouble like nothing ever happened.
