Forever,
Remembering Ms. Chinny
I had just had my 2nd back surgery in June 2011 and I was 10-days out of the hospital on hydrocodone and I received Ms. Chinny.
She was a ball of fire running through the house, on her 1st day of playing and meeting Mr. Wu…Well, Chinny came up and crashed on my arm in 3 seconds and she was asleep.
Chinny slept every night on my left shoulder, my disabled shoulder for 9-years, until the day she died. She slept with her head under my chin, whenever she decided she wanted to sleep, if it was just a short nap, an elbow worked great.
When I whistled for dinner Mr. Wu would come as he always does, and by the 3rd day Chinny was so fast around the corner…she did not know about brakes, yet and slid through the water and food dish several times….would scare the hell out of all of us and her, before learning, claws do not function on tile, hahahh.
My life has been entertained for 15years….. when I got Mr. Wu….at a shelter…he was asleep in his water dish…purring…I heard him…in a room full of other cats meowing….so I picked him up …..wow
Mr. Wu a red tiger-striped cat 7-years old and became Chinny’s best friend immediately. Wu would hold Chinny down and give her a bath head to tail, whether she wanted it or not.
I have had cats for 50 years because I have always been a writer and a cat is a good company and inspiration. Ms. Chinny was my 7th cat, so…..it’s very hard she is not in my life, she gave me an endless…Joy of Life, every day and every hour!!!!!
Mr. Wu always had a constant purr…. going, usually loud, when eating or in the bathtub drinking water, when you walk past you could hear him, purrrring, he was so happy, really.
Well, Wu also has a very loud Siamese cat meow, when Chinny went into heat, hell, she was louder than Wu…things you remember, right.
How do you say Good-Bye to an old Friend
How do you say Good-Bye to an old Friend
Ms. Chinny was like no other cat…intelligent, and stayed with me everywhere I went in the house, she was always following, but when I was drilling a screw…her nose was so close to the screw watching it turn, I could not see the drill tip, this was so normal I just looked from the side.
Chinny had to see whatever you were doing and a drill noise meant nothing. If there was a loud noise the drop a pot on the floor, she would run 3 feet spin around fast, and move forward to investigate… nothing could ever scare this cat.
In Oregon when the deer was walking by and she was asleep on my shoulder, as I was watching TV…she would awake with a deep growl…like a dog…..she would jump to her feet.. and every hair on her body stood up to confront the problem. Very unbelievable this little cat could become so aggressive!
Ms. Chinny liked to head butt
Ms. Chinny liked to head butt
Chinny forced me to stop tossing and turning and to stay on my back for her to sleep on my L-shoulder, never the right shoulder, it was my heartbeat, she wanted, but she did sleep on my chest with her head under my chin…her ear would tickle my nose or she would stick her ear in my mouth…while we were both asleep…and the first couple of time….wow…I awoke with a startle and so, Chinny used her new claws to shred my chest…..in the middle of the night… this happen 100’s of times, I learned to …not move or breathe….Chinny would come and meow (she had about 10-meows some loud or soft for diff reasons) around my legs, and it was time for a nap, if I was in the kitchen, she was on my shoulder as I was sitting down, she meant, now, so had to watch TV for 30-min.
Chinny liked to head butt, me in the face or mouth, but, my nose was…special…Chinny got up all the time at night checking out the house, this was her property, then back to my shoulder… Just before dawn Chinny would walk up my legs…and head-butt me in the nose…with a meow…time to get up Dylan…through the years….she got admitted, she wanted food…Chinny would hit my nose so hard, thought it was bloody, and I was asleep…
It was fun just to watch Chinny, if there was a noise somewhere in the house, her ears would go up…she leaps off my desk and must investigate, immediately. Just like the screw that kept disappearing, she would watch it all the way in…every time….of course, I talked with her endlessly, I would meow and she would return…and she liked this game…she always returned, so I got a full course of meows…all the time….I would explain and show her every piece, of food or drink she always wanted to see and smell.
Ms. Chinny had a boundless curiosity about life and her beautiful yellow eyes,
just watched me every minute I was with her
When I left Chinny would follow me to the door. When I returned, she was at the door with a meow, I have been waiting. When I brought in sacks of groceries of whatever, Chiiny had to look in each bag and smell all the new smells....
“My Pretty Girl”….and “Little Love” and my “Chin Chin.”
“My Pretty Girl”….and “Little Love” and my “Chin Chin.”
When Ms. Chinny was young she would claw her way up in pants or robe or bare leg…she would just walk up my body looking me right in the eye and be, so romantic…with “cold Nose Kisses” on my checks and rubbing her whiskers against my chin…that ran up my into my nose….this would go on for 15 minutes…she was such a passionate friend…I just called her “My Pretty Girl”….and “Little Love” and “Chin Chin.”
I would just sit in amazement she was so close to my face…inches 1 to 7 inches from my mouth, usually….all day or night. She would stare into my eyes from 7 inches away standing on my chest….without blinking....we always had a contest to see, who would blink first….haaha she never blinked, just turned away and cleaned her paw…a draw. I told you she was….fearless!!
Of course, I was smiling and laughing all the time for 9-years….she had to climb up and get into every door, get behind or around any furniture…When Chinny really wanted my attention…she would pull on 2-kitchen doors that had roped closed…bang, bang, bang…Chinny stop….bang bang…Ok what do you want, I have work to do…. she thought she was a person, and I could not argue only enjoy the endless visual aspect of her company. The nose kisses and whisker rubs she gave me were because, she was happy…and they are greats treasures, I will ever receive in my life, from her heart to my humble heart.
All my cats come, when I whistle, call their names or rub my thumb and index finger…as a silent call…..Chinny would come almost every time, I called her name…in a hurry…she wanted to know what was going on, and did I get her, permission…hahhah really…she was an actress…big time
This is a 7x7 ft cat pole

Chinny would run up the pole over to the other side and down again...while, Wu slept on his spot.....thinking kids,
they have so much energy

My Audience of Friends
My Audience of Friends
I have had a black glass L-shape desk for 7yrs and have never seen it, yet…whenever, I would sit down to write a song or poem….the word gets out quick….and there are only 2-gallery seats for big cats…
So, Ms. Chinny decided the best way to get…. hand attention was right in front of the keywords…why… I would have to type over her; sleep in front of the keyboard….
So, I would rest my arms on her back and type…she gets a backrub and keeps close to me….
New Years Eve 2021
New Years Eve 2021
New Years Eve:
I have always had projects, all my life,
I like to build, create and produce my thoughts into reality.
So, I had decided I wanted to clean and remodel the house. I am always working in the house, this is when I think about all the issues in whatever; I am composing a poem or song, so, New Year’s Day/Eves was no different. I have documented this day in my letter to my attorney. I really had a great day, just what I had wanted to accomplish, to bring in a new year, clean my house, as I kept focusing upon editing the songbook for print and contact the people I could trust who I thought could sit me in my endeavors with the 2-songs.
When the police came and shined the light in the living room window…. it actually put me into my own mental state of shock; I was in my safe-place in my recliner with my eyes closed with NO Fear of harm, even happy as the New year had just passed….then, the police riot lights exploding in my dream world of music, deep philosophical issues, I want to re-write my paper on Quantumm Physics…really bad, in my 7th book I copyrighted in 2014 with the SongBook, together, and all my future life endeavors, had some wine….. it was really bad…just like the seconds, before a car accident and you cannot escape the impact… the illusion was unearthly, my body and mind were in “Flight or Fight Mode” my only description.
So, was I now dead and is this what it was like…my mind had just turned off my body, I could not move…it seems I lost consciousness because when I heard the police voice, my eyes were closed, and my head was turned away from the window to my right.
The whole ordeal is described in my attorney letter. What I did not realize what this had done to the cats!!
I put food and water down and paid no attention to anything for days. The cats were there, they were always there by me. I really have no memory of the cats after New Year’s Eve confrontation. There was no order in my life for days and nights did not notice the cat food was now …not being eaten. I have a book I have kept all our weight measurements in for 7yrs. I check the last measurement.
I believe animals have their own “Flight or Fight Mode” also and eating and drink is turned off for them, somethines!!
I recorded all 5-albums of music with “Little Love” asleep on my lap or next to my computer and microphone…she even meowed in a song I was recording…hahaha
I honored Ms. Chinny my “Little Love” in a song I recorded
“The Red Rose” it was very fitting for her

Good morning Mr. Stephens,
I checked Chinny's chart this morning and saw that she had been in on Sunday to see Dr. Griffith. I was glad to see that her lab values on the chemistry were normal. Looks like Dr. Griffith was thinking either infection or cancer of some kind- which I agree with based on the test results. How is Chinny today? Please let me know if there is anything I can do for her.
I loved the pictures of Mr. Wu. What a sweet heart. I hope he continues to do well. I was glad to hear that he and Chinny at the food (at least at first).
Sincerely,
Brianna Judkins, DVM

Great to hear from you Brianna and appreciate the deep concerns.
Well, I was so worried when I came to get Chinny..When I got here home decided to take matters into my own hands, first got some wet food put some on my finger and rubbed her nose, then put food on her coat a lot of liquid...she had no choice, eat or be unclean, and then, I had my hand dripping with water and petted her..now she was wet and had to clean...I have her eating, some now...will bring her in to have pills taken...today...
Horse Vet in Amarillo said, to put vaseline petroleum about 1/2 tablespoon on the fur, not on arms/legs for and to prevent constipation...has worked for 10yrs now...especially in older cats...see why I built the cat pole??
Thank
Dylan

Good afternoon,
I just wanted to check in on Chinny. How is she doing at home? I've seen her come in a few times for her Doxycycline. My nurse let me know yesterday that you were asking how to get her to eat more. It sounds like she'll eat for you but requires bribing and is still not back to her usual behavior- please let me know exactly what she's doing at home and what her progression has been. I know I do want Chinny to drink more water, most of my cats will do this if they have running water. I have a few that don't mind if water is added to their food - let me know if you know this is not an option for her.
As far as the food goes, I like that she's eating though from her lab work results last week it doesn't seem to be necessary that she's on This specific food (the Royal Canin renal support). That said, I still really like this diet and it's about the most enticing diet I know of for cats (most of the time). Let me know if you want to try a change and I can make further recommendations. If you want to try human food, boiled chicken and white Minute rice is the safest thing for her to have short term.
Let me know your thoughts.
Sincerely,
Brianna Judkins, DVM

I am glad to hear that she is drinking, but I don't like that she is no longer wanting to eat much for you. I'm not sure what is going on with her but we might need to check on her again. I would love to see Chinny today but I am about to go into emergency surgery that will likely take a few hours. Dr. Griffith is here tonight and might be able to take a look at her or I am happy to see her Tuesday if you haven't seen any improvement over the weekend.
Give my office a call to schedule, I am about to walk into the surgery and won't be able to respond to email.
I wish you, Chinny, and Mr. Wu all the best
Sincerely,
Brianna Judkins, DVM

Dylan,
I am truly sorry to hear that Chinny is not doing well. It is certainly possible that she has lost her sense of smell. Cats are very dependent on smell to stimulate appetite, eat, etc. I am not sure exactly what Chinny's diagnosis is but it may be prudent to have her looked at for a quality of life discussion this evening.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to be here at 6pm when she comes in. I am here tomorrow 8am-4pm if you decide to bring her tomorrow. If you know that now is her time, I understand and again I am truly sorry. She has been a good friend.
Please let me know your thoughts. I can schedule her appointment tonight or tomorrow- or you can call the clinic 405-348-7387
With Sympathy,
Brianna Juskins DVM

Hello Brianna,
Good letter and I have decided today is the day I say goodbye...to honey, OK...she does not eat in 2days, very little response to anything, she is just waiting, like me. Chinny has lost 4 lbs and has starved herself and now she will die. I have cried so many tears...as I have watched, so helpless, as my Pretty Girl...starves herself and now she is saying goodbye....
Will you be there at 6pm when I come in I would feel better if you were the Doctor.......
Brianna, you have been so very kind, thank you from the bottom of my broken-heart...
Dylan
My Pretty Girl..... you filled
all the empty places in my
Soul and Life

Ms. Chinny….. my Pretty Girl, every day and hour you were in my life, I was a better man, you gave me hope and joy and laughter, that had been in a timeless drawer with all my other creative works…you opened the drawer with, your, endless curiosity…and touched my wondering heart…sitting on a mountain ledge…and now you are gone……
My Little Love of Happiness, all I have now is…endless tears of sadness, as I think again of your memories of that passionate look in my eyes, and your amazing honest curiosity for life…you filled my HEART.....
for 9-great years…..she is now, gone….
Ms. Chinny, my honey YOU….. was the Best Friend, I ever had in Life…..
Goodbye..... my "Pretty Girl"
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Mr Wu...meowed for weeks...
looking for our Little Girl
I see you in the shadows...all the time
