Cat Updates...

Ok, as usual long time no post-  There will be updates on Ghost coming soon. As well as posts about the orphan kittens I am taking care of too. I started a separate cat blog for these things actually. I will also be starting a separate Persphone Minerals blog & maybe do away with this one after that.

Anyway this is the blog where you will find updates on the foster cats.
Crazy Cat Lady
I haven't made any post yet but I will make a couple soon.

I even made a separate Paypal account for the cat donations, which is what the new donation button on the new blog is for. (Alot less math for me to do that way :P)

Urgent- help needed for a diabetic kitty!




This is Ghost. He is foster kitty I have taken in via Kindness Connection Animal Rescue. My friend that I used to live by is the one who started this rescue thing because there are NO no-kill shelters in Fort Worth.

I took Ghost in on 12/21/11 & she told me has diabetes. HE has chunks of fur shaved out where the shelter he came from couldn't get the mats out any other way. And they didn't even get them all. He was with another foster who had one too many cats in one place for about a week before he came to me. I honestly don't know just how long he has been without insulin or without his proper food. He is supposed to be on a very expensive Rx food. Well, I am cutting that cost by making a diabetic cat food recipe I found online. I just got a bunch of stuff for it.

However, he still needs insulin and he needs to be taken to the vet & observed with it to determine his right dosage. We don't yet have enough funds  to get the insulin or take him in.There are always more cats in need then there are donations.  He is extremely underweight. He has vomited a couple of times. He is very sweet & loving & I am so scared he is going to become fatally ill if I can't help him.

This is where I am going to take matters into my own hands. I already had the vet call in the prescription to CVS by me. It's should be about $45 & depending on how much he needs should last 2-3 months. His clinic visit will be $35. Each glucose reading will be 6. They will do at least 5 tests a day but I do not know how many days he will need to be there.

I am able to provide the basics- food, litter etc.  However, when it comes to health care for Ghost I am going to have to cave in & turn to you guys & anyone else how can maybe help.

I have gone ahead & put a donation button over here to the right on my blog ------------->

I don't think I should need to raise anymore than a total of $200, maybe even $150?

42

Alright we have come to the last of the looks I've done with shades from the LOST colelction. I almost deemed this one a fail until I lined it & got the mascara on. Then I realized I actually like it. I am also kicking myself in the ass pretty hard for not having better photos of the look I did with 4.  I suppose I can do it again one day.

Anyhow, if you wanna be seasonal this would be more of autumn look for sure. It can also be made into a gothy look as well.

Products used:


Face: 
UD Pore Perfection Primer
Meow  (level1) Sleek Siamese Flawless Feline Foundation  (wondering if I should've gtten the full size of this instead of the level 2 that's on the way?)
Meow Skinny Dippers in Light Siamese
Sobe Botanicals Duochrome Blush in Noveau (full size of this on the way too, yay!)

Eyes:
UDPP
FPE on lids
UD Zero in crease
UD Heat in inner corners
PM 42 on lids, blended up over Zero & Heat & along lower lash line
Meow Witty Kitty from crease to browbone
Maybelline Studio Gel Liner (this feels like it's drying up a little?)
UDLP
Clinique High Impact Curl Mascara

I think I have pretty much given up on my water lines because NOTHING will stay there. Whatever kind of liner it may be always migrates over to the outer corners of my eyes & looks gross.....

Lips:
UDLP
UD lipstick in Confession
Hi Fi Lipglaze in Art is Forever



blech...uneven creases again :(
