rmncwrtr Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) My cat, Spirit, had her I131 treatment for her hyperthyroidism. If you want to see her, click here, choose a camera (1,2,3,4) and look for a gray cat with the name Spirit on the cage. Mr. rmncwrtr had the kids convinced she would be glowing after the treatment, but she looks exactly the same. Huge sigh of relief on their parts. Of course the real chore will be keeping them away from her for 5 weeks when we pick her up on Friday. That's not going to be easy.

Sherri Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Kitty-cams! I like that idea of being able to check on them while in hospital. That's a nice service to offer. Glad to see that the patient is not glowing green. (I bet you could photoshop one of the webcast images to achieve that, though, just to torment the kids. ) Best wishes for Spirit's happy-homecoming!

rmncwrtr Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thanks Sherri. The kitty-cam is great, but a total time suck. LOL on the photoshop idea. That would be hilarious. Unfortunately I do not possess the skills to do such a thing and it would probably totally freak out my oldest, 9, whose eyes well up with tears at the mere mention of the cat. Thank goodness we headed to Bend to ski this week. It's been a great distraction for the kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yeah, better hold off on the photoshopping for the time being. Don't want to permanantly damage the kiddies. ("...and, Dr., I remember this one time, when I was 9yrs old and really sad, my mommy turned our kitty green....) Sounds like you have everyone's best interest's at heart. That's a lucky family.

catbirdseat Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Camera 2 seems to give the best angle relative to the lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 That does seem to be her best side. (Work it girl! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey, M! How do you keep the cam from reloading so damn often or freeze the image? It's driving me bonkers! Glad to hear Spirit's got her spirits up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmncwrtr Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Sobo - if you get the url with a camera number, it continually updates. If you hit the kitty cam number then it is frozen at a specific time. At least that's been my experience. Those constant updates make me dizzy! I pick Spirit up tomorrow at 11:30 am! Can't wait to see her. Her brother, Rocket, has to have this same procedure in a month or so, too. Today my 9 yo asked if that meant we got to go back to Bend to ski. She fell in love with powder and nearly drove mr. rmncwrtr insane yesterday afternoon with her only skiing in the trees when on groomed runs.

rmncwrtr Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Nevermind, Sobo. I must have caught them off-line. Now both ways are continuously updating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Yah, it's mind-numbing. At least it appears that she is resting comfortably. I don't see a lot of movement anywhere in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmncwrtr Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 She was up earlier this morning meowing at the front of the cage. That usually means she wants food or love. They called me and told me she was hissing at the other cats, but being really nice to them. Very typical of her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 mention the annoying update interval to your doc. It is an easy fix and you aren't asking for much to have them please set the F5 to five or ten minutes rather than continuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmncwrtr Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Will do, Arch. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
