I hit the jackpot yesterday!

Kitties!  Last week I found that Random.org picked the winner of the fabulicious  The Tiniest Tiger Hipster Bag.  Triple T Studios designed The Tiniest Tiger Hipster Bag which mommy and I found filled to the brim with the coolest fings for kitties and for mommies wanting to save green papers wif some great coupons that were also included.

The Red Carpet Cat Walk Blog Tour was started by Gracey and her human Joanne McGonagle Star of Animal Planet's My Cat From Hell at The Tiniest Tiger.  Please visit, it's a treat.

Here is the swag bag for you to see.   And Mommy has a picture of what was in it. Aren't I the luckiest Tuxie ever?

There was a catnip filled pickle!  A cat rattle bag filled with catnip...a collar to wear to warn birdies if I were an outdoor girl, a temporary cat tattoo for mommy, a bumper sticker, lots of book markers, a prescription discount card on pet med prescriptions that the v-e-t prescribes, and even pawrents without insurance could use for 15-50% off some meds.  There was a book about raising kittens, a bottle of calming drops for our fuds,  just so many fings to love.  Fanks you SO muches Random.org ( I know it's random..I be silly again).

If Mommy was mistaken and failed to give correct credit she apologises in advance.  Meanwhile, I have a pickle awaiting me!

V-E-T visit

Mom got me into the PTU and it wasn't easy as I kept jumping out.  But I never said a word and I stayed where she could pick me up again.  I bet it won't be that easy next time.

But we went..I was weighed and despite the barfing, I am 9.4 beautiful glossy pounds (my coat was complimented by the v-e-t.) So I gained from 8.9 to 9.4.

He is sure if I stick to a same regimen with my fuds I will eventually be OK.  I have heartworm meds to take as a preventive.  Mommy didn't want Advantage + because it wore poor Admiral out and made her very sad for several days after mommy tricked her into letting her apply it.  So we are sticking with the heartworm only.  Can't hurt.  Oh and I got my nails cut.  Mom says YEA!!

Mom is headed out to work out and leaving me to suck up air here by the airvent where I am shouting out what I want her to type. Good..when she's gone it gives me a break.

Whisker Wednesday (& I gots the whiskers, too)

Kitties!  It's whisker Wednesday.  I like mine highlighted in a sun puddle.  We are lucky and have had three DAYS with SUN!  Unlike the usual incessant rain.

Mommy set 3 traps..no luck so far but...no mouse brought to our bed either.  Mom was so sleepy she just went to sleep and trusted that it would be alright.  It was.

Mom said she would call the v-e-t this morning to make an appointment for tomorrow.  Now the first time (a week after I got here) I went into the PTU to find out about my throwing up, I didn't say a word on being put into the PTU nor a word on the way there or while there.  Scared mommy because she's used to Admiral singing loudly all the way there and before.  We will see how this time goes.  Mom figures I was just so surprised I forgot to protest and the next time will bring drama.

Next weekend after this one, Mommy is leaving me again!  Going over the mountains again.  Unless there is snow.  Who should she wave at on the way to Salemburg and Charlotte?

Kissies and nosetaps

Tuxie Tuesday

Oh my.  Mom says I am a bit naughty.  I'll leave it to you.

I am scratching the carpet in places despite having ample scratching posts of both varieties, carpet and sisal rope.  I have cardboard scratch pads and a scratching MAT.  Mom said that she worked hard for that carpet money and I am ruining it.  Now she has a water bottle sprayer but she hasn't caught me at it again (yet).

I think I may have a tummy problem for real because even though mom feeds me in shifts each meal, sometimes as many as three servings from that little can during an hour..last night at 9:30 I threw up only kibble.  The wet food must have had sufficient time to make its way through my pipes.  I guess mom will have to make an appointment for you-know-where.  I need my nails cut anyway.

Mom didn't know we had another mouse come into the house but she knows now because I really DID bring it to the bed.  Mom had to take the sheets off because of spots of blood.  I was scrambling around in the dark on the bed..mom tried to get me to stop, all unknowing and then when I did leave, she gave up and turned on the light and say the evidence that I had my little quarry in there.  Mom stripped off the sheets and she's setting the trap.  She saw the mouse in the living room so there is no doubt.  We both wish we knew how they are getting in!  It's a field mouse. The buff and brown colored ones.  Still a mouse, regardless. Ugh.  Nasty.

So I will be on patrol till I or Mom catches it.  Mom will get the trap ready shortly.

Hats of Hope

Today we are honoring Mom Judi-Bug  while we wait with her for her test results.  I am letting her know mom and I love her and appreciate her and all she has done for we kitties and woofies.  We're all standing with you Judi-Bug.  Come and see her here.

Caturday

Mom and I had a skeery Friday with several tornadoes coming by to visit.  The one early in the day was not right here where we are but stayed a few miles away.  Last night was different and it came to call right here where we are but at least not in my immediate neighborhood.  There was lots of quarter sized hail and wind and lightening.  I got put in my PTU to go under the house with mommy.  We had a kit bag with us with a weather radio that cranks up and food for me. The worst only lasted 45 minutes that seemed like a year!  It's day time now and mom will get dressed soon to inspect the car and roof. Since the roof is new we are hoping it survived.  The car...well, we'll see shortly. Mom will help me visit after she gets dressed and goes outside.  xoxoxo  The most important thing is mom and I and the house are OK.  Others are not fortunate and we purr and pray hardest for them.  They have been through so much.  Our experience is nothing compared to theirs.

Thankful Thursday

Kitties!  I am thankful for my home.  I'm no longer sure what happened that I found myself in a foster home and then at the Vet's for a few months but from what mom was able to get from the Vet 's Office, it seems my former keeper (never owner!) was unable to continue caring for me.  Mom is guessing they went to the human Bridge.

But I wanted to say how glad I am to have my home and mom.  It's easy to see how much she loves me from the tender care I get.  WHEN she's home!  I swear, she is gone the better part of every DAY! And when it is truly Spring, she'll take that tripod and camera  in the rolling PTU and it's all over but the shouting.  She loves nature and landscape photography.  So she'll come back sweaty, full of ticks and bites and sunburn.  She can hardly wait.

Here I am all comfy with the comforts mom gives me studying up on how to perfect my technique.
