Another Attack on Cats by Mom

Cat parents, this really made me mad.  Here they go again!  What IS this vendetta against cats? The cat haters are really out in force it seems and they are given credence by news vendors as we well know when cats were attacked earlier this year saying they were singly responsible for every wild bird death ever recorded!  yes, I am being facetious but still, it makes me very upset to keep reading these seemingly non-stop attacks on a hapless animal!


Here is a link from this morning.  Sigh!

Why, it's a wonder we are not all dead in our homes with these dangerous villians out there!

This stuff really ticks me off!

Remember our babies who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge are in my Rainbow Page above.  Not ever to be forgotten.

Tuesday Tuxie Upside Down Kitty

Kitties!  Mom said she can't focus the phone's pictures so this is slightly out of focus but if she had gotten up to get her camera, turned it on, fussed with settings and so on, I would be long gone.  She has always wanted an upside down kitty  face and I finally presented one.  So..she picked up the phone and went for it.That's my new red quilted throw on my recliner.  She was still trying to sit in it to read the Sunday paper.  Silly her.

 This carpet "tracks", meaning every little paw print shows up on it.  Mom uses the sucky monster and "grooms it" (but not the way she grooms me).  It looks good for a minute until she and I start walking on it.  The nap on the carpet goes every whichaway.  That's her way of apologizing for how the carpet always looks.

Happy Tuxie Tuesday.  Let's celebrate with some extra nip and treats!

Glamor Monday

Moms and Dads...if there are kittens about you may wish to direct their attention elsewhere as I am posting a full on glamor shot of myself today!  It's to cheer up Monday which is dreary and rainy here where I am.  Of course if you have girl kittens, they may want to observe my poses and exceptional display of my full bikini so as to have something to build upon in their own career as girl cats.

I am soooo glamorous!

The props are: My nip nanner from Boomie, my lion of course (he goes where *I* go) my doney right beside him (he ALSO goes where I go) my tomato, and my little yellow plastic ball from a track ball once upon a time.  Mom apologizes for the shadow.  She took it at night and the iphone's flash operated.

Mommy and I Are Back from You-Know-Where

Mom and I got to the v-e-t (Mommy said I can spell too!)

I was carried to the PTU and put inside with no problem.  Yesterday I was sleeping in it a few times.  Mom said I seem to do that when it's about time to go.  Anyway, I never said a word all the way there and I didn't really do more than the barest tiny voiced protest while being lowered into the PTU.

When we got there, there were two huge dogs, one Rottie and one Shepherd who barked LOUDLY and  a lot.  It was hollow sounding in that room and I know it made me very nervous but I didn't say anything.

Mom, I scared! 

When I got back to the exam room (they took me early because of the dogs) I was OK till I was lifted out for my mani-pedi.  I hissed a few times at Jason who is my favorite tech as he was Admiral's favorite.  I was trimmed and weighed @ 11.8 pounds so I gained 3/4ths of a pound! and brought back in where I hissed some but steadily growled THE ENTIRE TIME! Mom was shocked.  I have NEVER growled the first time and certainly never hissed.  That boy was the first time ever! Mom told Jason about that boy who didn't know how to handle cats, and  that mom was afraid would make me afraid to go in the carrier.  Jason said that Dr. Rick had to be told and that if mom didn't (she was going to) then Jason would.

Dr. Rick came in and mom told him that after all she went through with Admiral deathly afraid of the PTU and even the tech (Jason) having to come to the house to fetch her out from under the heavy oak bed) that she didn't want to go through that with ME  being afraid because of that silly boy.

Dr. Rick said he would absolutely talk to the guy and perhaps do as mom mentioned, re-train him as to how to handle kitties. Looks like I now hate the Vet office now though, thanks to him,  and that is not likely to change.

I got a shot for my itchies since I won't allow mom to give me the liquid medicine I need to avoid the  shots.  Mom said not to give her the dickens about that.  She lives alone and I am NOT cooperative and I will bite if someone keeps up what I don't want happening! They are looking into having something compounded for me into a chewable form.

MOM! They're going to eat me!!!

So, I am home, and much more comfortable and less antsy since I am not alive with itchies.  I had my claws trimmed so I'm good to go.

XXOO

I have to go you-know-where

Mom said that my itchies are such that I must go to the dreaded v-e-t place.  I also need a pedicure really badly.  I puncture mom's legs when I start making biscuits. Of course if she weren't wearing shorts...but that's another complaint and story.

As soon as I finish dictating here she will go call in the appointment.  She remarked to a friend yesterday (I heard her..I was puncturing her legs at the time) that I was sleeping in my PTU.  She said I always seem to go sleep in there long about the time I will be stuffed into it for a trip you-know-where!

Here is a picture of what I wish would happen.  We have incessant rain and we are a good 16 or more inches above normal for the year.  I can see it easily being two feet above normal by years end if not more.

Even the toadstools have toadstools! Just always raining and always gloom.  We get maybe about 8-10 days a month MAYBE with some sun.  Maybe.

See my earsies? There be suns in 'em.

Happy Birthday America, July 4, 2013

Happy Birthday America.

Tuxie Tuesday Love Gift

With many soft sounds I brought my three favorite toys in to Mom during the night.  She woke with each one although she only spoke with the first as she was just drifting off to sleep I knew.  The other s I brought, she heard and smiled but went right back to sleep.  I talked in earnest with those.  Since I brought my heart/mousie,  (A red mousie with a heart on it) I was probably telling her how much I missed her all day yesterday!  She got home in the mid afternoon just before the horrible thunderstorm started though.  Boy, was I glad to see HER!

Here are my favorites, in the bedroom on my shaggy rug.
