What’s going on here?
Raven has an internet fan base, and it seems I’ve become her publicist. I'm a kitty publicist. Something has gone horribly wrong here. How did this happen to me?
Ok insatiable celebrity fans.. In today’s news, Lady Gaga was spotted in Starbucks without her makeup. But the BIG headline is Raven was photographed taking a nap after being reunited with her lover.
Both looked slightly disheveled, and were clearly not in the mood for photographs. Stay tuned for the TMZ special on this fiery romance.
Sorry Tripawd friends. I’ve been busy on this trip, and I just shared the one photo the warden sent since I left. Reports are that Raven is doing awesome. Very happy, and doing everything in her normal routine she did before surgery. We really haven’t made many adjustments during this stage for Raven. It’s incredible. I’m here to validate the very common claim repeated on this site that cats adapt very well to the tripawd lifestyle. We feel VERY fortunate that this turned out to be true for Raven.
Of course, we’re not completely out of the woods yet. Still worried about other masses developing. The vet considered radiation therapy, but there is a tradeoff between the benefits and possible complications in her case, so no radiation right now. We’re going to keep an eye on things at home, and she’s on a plan of regular vet followup visits. Fingers crossed.
Still lots to write about, so don’t worry about Raven’s thread dying anytime soon. Thanks for all the support!
I gotta talk to Raven about salary. I should get a cut of her celebrity revenue.

Ahhhh...THAT was all I was waiting for 
So glad all is well with your crew. Was hoping for all of you that cone free was going to be peaceful and without issues, thank you for your update! I LOVE that picture, you can see how much they love each other. That disheveled look is the IN thing ya know 
Stay safe in your travels, take care!
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry

Great to hear all is good at home & Raven has adjusted!
Not surprised !
Take each day as it comes and watch and go to your scheduled exams of course but do not let it rule the roost ok! Cancer doesn't have rules in a sense that it may not come back and it may. We have guidelines but? Nothing we can do but check have exams, take one day at a time and enjoy everyday! Kerren's Mona's had a VAS she has been a tripawd for over 3 years now & has had no reoccurrence so have hope!! No crystal ball on this journey, Raven is doing good right now! Enjoy when you get home!
Everyone must of forget you were away & the warden is BUSSSSSSY!
Thanks for the picture & the update
Have a safe trip back!
Thanks for the update! We here at the Rusty the Bunnyman camp are very happy that things are going well!
Extra head scritches for the furbabies from us!

Rusty "The Bunnyman" adopted us in 2014. Aug/Sept 2017, back left leg amputated (HSA cancer). He remained cancer free over 900 days. Cancer returned as of emergency visit on day 931. 15 days later, he gained his wings 04/18/2020 due to congestive heart failure. He will always watch over his fellow tripawds and their hoomins with Head Scritches and Sand Paper Kisses.

Well, Raven and I have negotiated a deal. She's giving me limited rights to sell her celebrity merchandise, and agreed to help promote sales.
First item up for auction will be her 5th and final cone. Certified authentic, and includes fang marks, saliva, wet food stains, kitty litter particles, and yes, duct tape repairs.
I think I'll start the bidding at five figures. That will cover the surgery plus a modest profit.
It is good to be home again. Raven looks great, and seems very happy. Pictured here is her back at her normal routine.. 10 am sun bath.
Does it come with a certificate of authenticity too😺? Absolutely love it!

Bahahaha!!!😹 I’lol start the bidding.... what was it, Five figures Mark?! 🙀(Sheesh! What are ya a Scotsman or something?!!)
Super Stu starts the bidding at ✋️ Figures!!! Food particles, drool AND DUCT TAPE!... fine... ✋️🤚 Figures, no more!!! Who’s in?!!! 😺
Kitty litter particles, PRICELESS!! I would shoot for more, kitty litter is the sealed deal!! Offer the certificate and I think that will close it. Any good salesman will tell you that you won't get it unless you ask for it 😉
Glad you're home safe... well #1 you're home safe, #2 we get more Raven chronicles, they RAWK!!

Okay gang! Sheesh, you guys are hard to bargain with...!!!
Sally and I are bidding to save the cone... I’ll raise my bid to 🖐🖐🖐🖐 figures, a cup of Stewie’s slobber and an old Hedgie! 
Stewie just gave me a horrid look, but I told him it has run out of its squeak and maybe Raven will have more fun with it!!! Merry Myrtle tha Ball is back in your court....
Sorry Pirrrrrkins, unless you up your bid, the dogs get the cone!!!
BTW Mark, we are now including all 5 cones into the deal.... the stakes are getting high... do the cones get burned or chewed to little morsels????
