♥ Well, the Yard Sale is over til after the first of June, but not the work for mom and dad as they will still be going thru the storage shed next with throwing things away and saving things for the next sale!!!! The last two days of the sale never even made $40 for both days!!!!

♥ Mom and dad has been doing a bunch of weeding in the front yard in between customers during the sale and rain. Today, mom went in the back yard and scooped out the big 3X5 (used to be 5X5) sand`litter box then she got her new weedeater assembled, as she had to take the other one back to Wal*Mart then went to Lowes and got one there instead. She got the front yard weedeated then she mowed the front yard.

♥ Mom did open dad's bedroom window this morning so we could be out in the cattery. It was nice getting the fresh air.

6 TAX DEDUCTIONS YOUR CATS CAN CLAIM FOR NEXT YEAR - (from catster.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Cats love to take advantage of anything that might work in their favor. What if they could file taxes and claim deductions? You better believe they'd be all over that. What exactly would they claim? We've got some ideas.

1. Therapy deduction -
Cats should be able to claim monies paid for any therapy occurring as a result of having to wear silly outfits. The deductions would substantially increase for those felines whose shame is shared via social media outlets. In case of an audit, they must save all receipts and screenshots of photos shared online.

2. Energy-savings deduction -
Masters at conserving energy, cats would get to reap the benefits of helping save the planet. They'd log their sleep hours and, using a specialized formula, claim accordingly. There would also be a unique tax credit for cats who log a certain number of hours while lying in a sun puddle. It would be called the Solar Cat Tax Credit.

3. Charitable donations deduction -
Kitties are excellent gift givers. They drop toys into our empty shoes, leave expired creatures at the back door, and greet our bare morning feet with cold piles of vomity hairballs. It's about time they received credit for those charitable donations!

4. Casualty deduction -
Unfortunately, cats must deal with a multitude of casualties each year, primarily lost toys. Balls are batted under the refrigerator, cloth mice are drowned in the water bowl, and feathered birdies are ripped to shreds. Mourning the loss of vanished toys is tough, but the load can feel a lot lighter when they can write those losses off and experience true closure.

5. Entertainment deduction -
It takes a lot of energy to entertain humans. Cats subject themselves to a fair amount of embarrassment in order to please the human with the can opener. As a way to help them feel their hours of performing for humans are not in vain, an entertainment deduction would be available to kitties.

6. Paid interest deduction -
Sometimes cats just want to sleep, birdwatch, or curl up and stare at a bug on the screen door. However, humans may have other ideas: "Kitty, kitty! Come sit on my lap!" The human is the bringer of the food, and so cats sometimes placate her whims. They really should receive credit for showing interest when really they'd rather flick their tail and go back to sleep. And most times, they do just that -- some deductions just aren't worth it.

Heaven Is...
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
A man was riding his horse down a road, cat in his arms & his dog by their side. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, & that his horse, cat & dog had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stonewall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, was a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. Standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch, made from mother of pearl, & the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He nudged the horse toward the gate, & as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk. Once close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, & I'll have some ice water brought right up."

The man gestured, & the gate began to open. "Can my furiends," gesturing downward towards his horse, cat & dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept animals."

The man thought a moment & then turned his horse & dog back toward the road, cat in his arms & continued the way he had been going. At the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree & reading a book. "Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

"Sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."
"How about my furiends here?" the traveler asked.
"There should be a bowl & a bucket by the pump."

They went through the gate, & sure enough, there was an old hand pump with a bowl & a bucket beside it. The traveler filled the bowl & took a long drink himself, then gave some to his cat & dog while he filled the bucket for his horse. When they all were satisfied, he led his furiends back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is heaven," was the answer.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street & pearly gates? Nope. That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who’d leave their best furiends behind."

Peas in a Pod - by Sue Young
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
I’ll never be sure if it was wisdom or folly that struck that day, but I would think a little of both. We had been happily living with one cat for a couple of years, a fairly large black-&-white English Shorthair named Smedley. It was time for his annual exam & shots, so off we went to our local veterinarian’s office, puss in hand, or actually wrapped like up like an Egyptian mummy to save us from his dreaded claws.

“Ah!” Doc Pete said, with a twinkle in his eyes. “I’m glad you dropped in. I have a kitten out back that needs a home & I thought of you!”

Before I could stop him, his assistant brought out the tiniest marmalade tabby, weighing just over a pound, with a cast on his left front leg. He put him in my arms, looked up at me & said, “So what do you think?”

They say a sucker is born every minute & that was my minute. We took one look at the poor little thing & then at each other & we were done for. We found out that someone had broken his leg & tried to drown him in the nearest canal. A Good Samaritan had rescued him & brought him to the vet’s office.

“How will they get along?” I asked. “How do we go about introducing them to each other?”
“Oh, that’s no problem,” he said. “You just put him in a carrier, take him home, leave the carrier open & let Smedley think he is rescuing the kitten.”

Well, it sounded good. As per instruction, once we got home, we left the kitten in the carrier in the middle of the room. Then we sat back to watch. Smedley circled the box & growled deeper than I had ever heard him before. The kitten mewed plaintively while sticking a paw out of the holes in the side of the carrier. After about an hour, we decided to open the top of the carrier a little wider. Smedley walked up to the top, looked inside & was rewarded by a lightning strike from a small orange paw.

That was the last we saw of him that evening. I was convinced that the next morning would find us back at the vet’s office returning the little tyke. However, the next morning, we were in for a surprise. As I got up to put on the coffee, I saw the two of them curled up together on the sofa as if they were one cat with two smiling faces. From then on, Smedley watched over the little one as if he had given birth to him, and they went everywhere together.

Doc Pete was right!

The Taste Sense Of Cats - (from PetSpeak)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Cats are blessed with a keen sense of smell. So while humans can smell broiled lobster, a cat can smell something like “broiled Maine lobster shipped in brine.” Despite their incredible sensitivity to smell, cats aren’t too concerned about taste. Of all their senses, taste is probably the least important to cats. Humans seek culinary perfection, but cats are mainly interested in whether the stuff they’re about to eat is nutritious or dangerous.

Cats tend to be more picky than dogs. One reason for this is that they’re carnivores, and spoiled meat is best left behind for scavengers. Another reason is that they’re, well, cats, and cats are generally more particular about life than dogs. Because they care more about what they put into their mouths, it’s tougher to slip them day-old food or extras like medicine.

Cats do seem to have one blind spot when it comes to taste: They have a very limited ability to identify sweets. While most animals prefer food with sucrose in it, cats don’t seem to notice it. In fact, researchers found that cats could not tell the difference between sugar water and plain water, even when the sugar level was so high that it was potentially dangerous.

Although flavor isn’t the most important thing to cats, food certainly is. It gives them a sense of comfort and well-being even as it satisfies their appetites. And it can be a powerful tool for communication as well. If you give a pet food he really likes, you’ll get his attention in a hurry.

Cats are creatures of habit, which means they’re most comfortable when they’re in familiar surroundings, with familiar people and familiar tastes. Just because people want to try different foods all the time doesn’t mean cats do too.

It’s fine to change foods periodically. Cats may get bored with the same food after a few months and will crave a new flavor. Let them have it. But make the change slowly by mixing some of the new food in with the old food for a few days. This will prevent diarrhea or other digestive problems that may occur when pets suddenly start eating something new.

THE ABILITY TO TASTE: The reason dogs and cats snack out of the trash can with the same gusto that they have for cleaning out their food bowls is that the food we throw out often has appealing flavor & aromas. There’s a significant difference in the number of tastebuds between pets & people. Here’s the comparison:

PEOPLE: 10,000 tastebuds | DOGS: 1,500-2,000 tastebuds | CATS: 473 tastebuds
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Hey, who said cats don’t have taste?!

CAT FUNNIES :) - Volume 1
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
A Cat Heaven -
=====================================
One day a cat dies of natural causes and goes to Heaven. There he meets the Lord himself. The Lord says to the cat, "You lived a good life and if there is any way I can make your stay in Heaven more comfortable, please let Me know."

The cat thinks for a moment and says, "Lord, all my life I have lived with a poor family and had to sleep on a hard wooden floor." The Lord stops the cat and says, "Say no more," and a wonderful fluffy pillow appears.

A few days later six mice are killed in a tragic farming accident and go to Heaven. Again the Lord is there to greet them with the same offer. The mice answer, "All of our lives we have been chased. We have had to run from cats, dogs, and even women with brooms. Running, running, running; we're tired of running. Do you think we could have roller skates so we don't have to run anymore?" The Lord says, "Say no more," and fits each mouse with beautiful new roller skates.

About a week later the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds him in a deep sleep on the pillow. The Lord gently wakes the cat and asks him, "How are things since you arrived?"

The cat stretches and yawns and replies, "It is wonderful here. Better than I could have ever expected. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending by are theeeeeeee best!!!"

The Cat Scan –
=====================================
A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.

The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows.

The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too."

The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$350."

"$350 to tell me my dog is dead?!" exclaims the man.

"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $300 was for the cat scan."

Ugly the Cat – author unknown
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say, love.

The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. He had only one eye, he was missing an ear and his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, healing at an irregular angle. His tail was gone, leaving a small stub & he was covered with scabs. Humans reacted when they saw him with, “That’s one UGLY cat!”

All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness. If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.

One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my home I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.

As I picked him up to carry him home, I could hear him wheezing and gasping. I must be hurting him terribly I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear- Ugly, in so much pain & suffering was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head. Then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.

At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Ugly just looked up at me, completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.

Ugly died, nestled in my arms. I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray, could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly.

Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful; but for me, I will always try to be Ugly.

♥ Our SPECIAL Message by SISSEE 11531 tonight!

♥ This year, we would like to do something different with our 10th Year Adoptiversaries by introducing a SPECIAL kitty to you! While mom and dad was cleaning and going thru everything in the back room, mom came across a picture that she couldn’t find for a long time and thought it was gone forever. This picture is of a precious tiny kitten and will remain in mom’s heart♥. This tiny kitten’s name was PRINCESS KNIGHT and she was mine, Suezee’s & Rhoamin’s littermate sister.

♥ When we were just tiny kittens, running wild & free under our fur mama Baby’s 13286 care when PRINCESS found a way to our neighbors’ yard [mid July 2003] who has a Yellow Lab. That Lab was let out in their back yard and he seen PRINCESS. Mom & dad heard the little screams of pain & came running out in the back yard. The neighbor got a hold of their dog and dad went over the fence to get PRINCESS, but it was too late for her as dad handed her to mom. Mom was in such tears. PRINCESS was only 10 weeks young when she was killed. To this day, that dog is still next door to us so mom always worries us outside kitties.

♥ Yes, for our 10th year Adoptiversaries, we are HONORING our sister PRINCESS on this day & we wanted to share it with you also our HONORARY Profile Photo for you to see!

CATS IN THE MEWS –
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
ITALIAN CAT BRINGS GIFTS TO HIS LATE MASTER'S TOMB –
==========================================
ROME - The story of a cat who visits his master's tomb and brings him little presents on an almost daily basis a year after the man's death has moved the inhabitants of a village in central Italy.

"He brings little twigs, leaves, toothpicks, plastic cups. A bit of everything really," Renzo Iozzelli's widow Ada told AFP from Montagnana, a mountain village near Florence.

"Sometimes he comes with me and sometimes he goes on his own. The whole town knows about him now!"

Toldo the cat -- a grey-and-white three-year-old tomcat -- followed Iozzelli's funeral procession last year and has continued going to the cemetery ever since, a habit usually ascribed to dogs.

"He loved my husband. It was something else! Now it's just me, my daughter and my son-in-law and he's very affectionate with us too," she said.

Ada said the journey to and from the cemetery each day had tired Toldo out in the cold winter weather.

"He's not going out so much these days. He's caught a bit of bronchitis so he's sleeping next to me."
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^

BRAZIL INMATES TRAIN CAT FOR PRISON BREAK –
==========================================
BRASILIA - A cat trained by prisoners to deliver cell phones and tools to dig tunnels was caught at a jail in northeastern Brazil after sneaking in with forbidden items strapped to its body.

"An agent saw the cat and went to look at it closely because something about it seemed wrong," Marcelo Avelino, the head of the prison guards' union, told the O Globo newspaper.

The agent found a bag tied to the animal's body filled with saw blades and drill parts for concrete drilling and digging tunnels, along with a cell phone complete with battery and charger, Avelino added.

The cat had often been seen coming in and out of the Alagoas jail.

Prison officer Luiz de Oliveira Souza told the G1 news website that prisoners had raised the cat and that relatives would often take it home after a prison visit.

"We were very surprised by this new tactic of prisoners, who trained the animal so that it returned to the prison and even managed to carry materials,” the agent added.

We finally got some much needed light rain over night!

Kittzi 160203 and I had fun playing early yesterday morning as we had a couple toys out of our toy basket, plus we got a little rowdy and dumped some water out of our bowl! MOL! Mom says it's a good thing we have our food and water setting on a plastic tray!

Mom came in yesterday afternoon with my favorite toy wand to play with us, but Kittzi wasn't into playing! I had a catastic time!

We probably won't be on CC Tuesday morning as she has to go clean Bud's house that she does once a month.

For the next several months we may not be on too often as mom and dad will be xtra busy. We will try to get on when we can!

♥ Well, mom told Callie 239447 that she met her match!!!! Saturday morning mom just happened to look over at the end of the couch to see Sassee 10605 sitting on it, which mom thought was awfully strange cuz she never gets on that end table then she seen Callie hunkered down under the top shelf of the end table. Mom told Sassee to leave her alone then mom had to pry Callie out from under that shelf part!!!! That's the first time Callie's been scared. Mom told Callie not to mess with Sassee especially when Sassee's in pain!!!! Sassee is the ALPHA girl inside!!!! No one was hurt!!!!

♥ Mom opened dad's window after she finished her kitty chores so we could go out in the cattery. Funny thing is though, she had it boarded up with plywood as it's suppose to rain today and she didn't want everything getting wet. At least we got the fresh air as well as relaxing out there!!!!

♥ Mom and dad didn't do much xcept relaxed and watched a couple movies on tv then some recorded shows on the DVR.

A Word With Whiskers – May 12 ♥
Feline Wisdom: A Mother’s Day Letter From My Cats - by Angie Bailey
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Dear Meow-my,

Today is Mother’s Day, and because we love and care about you, we have a few points we’d like you to consider:

1. You’re perfect just the way you are. Sometimes we see you worry about silly things and we think you should worry less and nap more. It works for us. And we’ll even nap with you – what a deal!

2. We love it when you let us sleep in your chair. Even when you need to sit there, you never move us – you just balance your butt on the very edge of the chair so you don’t disturb us. You are kind…and well-trained.

3. We know you want to develop a consistent yoga routine and we think that’s a great idea. Stretching feels fantastic and we just want you to know we’re here to help you. You know how we are – the minute you sit on the floor, we climb all over you. Sometimes this annoys you, but we are only trying to help you master the poses. You’re welcome.

4. We also think you should read more books. We notice you look more relaxed when you read, and we like that. Additionally, you reading a book means we’re charged with rubbing our faces all over it and lying on top of it, forcing you to eventually stop reading and pay lots and lots of attention to us. So please read, relax, but focus most of your energy on us.

5. We have a relaxation tip for you: Have you tried napping on a pile of warm laundry? It’s just the best! Try a load of towels – you’ll never go back.

6. Don’t feel guilty about eating a treat now and again. In fact, get really excited about it! You see us, right? Do you notice how we race around the kitchen and cheer when you show us the treat jar? You need to do some racing and cheering over cupcakes. We’ll grab the camera.

7. We love it when you play with us! We think sometimes you should close that computer-thingy and play more often – and not just with us! Take a walk, go swimming or meet friends for tea. And sometimes, we want to be your only laptop.

Hopefully you will find our suggestions helpful. We kitties are smart and know how to live happy and balanced lives and we want that for you, too! Thank you for everything you do for us. We don’t even mind a camera in our faces now and again – we know that makes you happy. Not to create more work for you, but we would like to suggest that you do a few more loads of laundry each week. What? You read #5, right?

Happy Mother’s Day! Love, your Furbabies

♥ After mom finished with helping Sausha 22506 & Teakee 25544 with their Adoptiversary Thank Yous last night, mom changed my profile photo then afterwards she got off the computer then she sat on the couch so I jumped up on her lap for my lovings.

♥ Mom and dad did a BIG SURPRISE to all of us inside kitties today. First thing this morning after mom got her kitty chores done, she went to The Veterinary Hospital to buy a can of "Siphotrop Plus II" spray @ $28.00 then mom made us all go out in the cattery [xcept for Callie, Kittzi & Sylvr Tuff] then she closed dad's bedroom window so we couldn't come inside. How CRUEL is that???? Then after mom got everything put up and away, she put Callie 239447 in a carrier then out in the back room and then she put Kittzi 160203 & Sylvr Tuff into their carrier then in the back room also. Mom made dad go out to the back room as well then mom started the spraying process then she. too went in the back room.

♥ While the spray was drying, mom & dad came in the cattery with stuff in their hands and closed the cattery door when they were in with us. Dad held us one by one on the bench while mom sprayed us down with Frontline Spray and worked it into our fur with her fingers then when she was done she brushed each of us!!!!

♥ Mom also washed all the beddings and such from dad's bed, the couches and kitty beds which was about 7 loads of wash!!!! So, we have all been flea sprayed in between our monthly flea treatments plus the main part of the house has been flea treated as well. This year is really bad for fleas.

A Word With Whiskers – May 11
CATS’ WHISKERS –
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
If you were to put your cat in a darkened maze, she’d confidently stroll all the way through without knocking into the sides or bumping into the wall. Cover her eyes, and she’d still be able to locate a mouse in the field. Even if you covered her ears and nose as well as her eyes and then tried to sneak up on her, she’d probably be aware of you before you got close.

Are cats psychic? Lots of people think so. But scientists have found that cats’ rather astonishing powers of perception are due less to mental wizardry than to the wonders of the whiskers. (No, not me silly!)

Cats use their whiskers constantly. The whiskers act almost like sonar, telling cats how close they are to objects around them. Cats also use their whiskers to communicate. Depending on the position, whiskers tell other cats when to stay away and when to approach.

When you look at cats head-on, you’ll get a pretty good view of their intricate whisker systems. You’ll see a vast collection of long hairs sprouting from their eyes, at the base of their ears, along their cheeks, and under their chins. Some whiskers are specialized, and each set does a different job.

In a very real sense, whiskers are like several extra sets of eyes. They allow cats to see the world in greater detail. In fact, cats who lose their sight may develop whiskers that are longer and thicker than usual.

Because the whiskers have a hot line to the brain, they provide unique insights into your pet’s moods and actions. You can tell when she is contented, irritated, or ready to play. Cats will often broadcast what their next behavior will be with movement of their whiskers.

Whiskers straight out to the sides: This means nothing is stimulating their curiosity or distracting them. They’re happy and content.

Whiskers flattened: When the whiskers shoot straight back from the nose and lie flattened against the cheeks, your cat is afraid of something.

Whiskers fanning and swiveling: Cats who are curious use their whiskers almost like antennae.

Whiskers spread out and angled forward: When a cat points her whiskers straight out in front of her face, watch out. She is putting her sensors ahead of her to feel what she is going to bite.

Because the whiskers are so sensitive, petting or stroking them is the equivalent of shouting in your cat’s ear. It’s a good idea to let children know not to pull on a cat’s whiskers.

♥ We got to stay out in the cattery til about 10:30 last night then mom made us come back in. This morning after mom did the kitty chores, she opened dad's bedroom window so we could go out in the cattery again for the day.

♥ Mom bought her a new weedeater at Wal*Mart since her other one quit early last year. This morning about 8:00 mom went out in the back yard to use her new weedeater for the first time and got the whole back yard done. Most of the grass was about 4 feet tall so the weedeating took longer. Mom got it done in about 2 hours. She said she will do the mowing tomorrow back there. Sissee 11531 watched mom and mom told her she was surprised she didn't run into hiding like all the other outside kitties!!!!

♥ UPDATE 5/09: SASSEE'S 10605 front legs are swollen pretty good again from her arthritis. Mom thinks maybe cuz she goes out in the cattery which means walking down and back up on the ramp at about a 45 degree climb!!!! She loves being out in the cattery as well. She also gets her daily dose of 2 pills of Dasuquin. She's pretty good at taking them for mom!!!!

♥ SYLVESTER 11567 has been limping the last few days on one of his front legs. Mom has brought him in the back room yesterday to check him out good, but couldn't find anything so he may have jumped wrong and hurt it. Mom's keeping watch on him closely!!!!

A Word With Whiskers – May 09
How Cats Love – Part 2 (from cats.about.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Here are more ways that cats express their undying affection for us:

8. Cats Love with Kneading. Kneading behaviors—front paw treading on soft surfaces—hearken back to kittenhood. Kitten paws knead against the mother cat’s breasts to induce milk to be released. Adult cats continue the behavior when they’re feeling most relaxed and content and loved, and that’s often when being petted on the owner’s lap. Kneading is an obvious expression of adoration.

9. Cats Love with Playing. Kittens play out of pure enjoyment, and many never outgrow playtime. Some cats may actually control the interaction of petting by moving just out of reach—so YOU must go to THEM. Their most favorite playmate typically is a trusted, beloved companion.

10. Cats Love with Sleeping. As sleep champs, felines typically sleep up to 16 hours a day. Because they are most vulnerable during sleep, the place your cat chooses to snooze must be a secure and trusted location. There is no greater loving compliment than a cat choosing your lap for a favorite sleep spot.

11. Cats Love with their Eyes. A kitty’s eyes are proportionately very large—if human’s eyes were the same proportion, our eyes would be eight inches across! As such, cat eyes are important assets for survival, yet extremely vulnerable. Cats that place their faces and wide-open eyes near a human express great trust and love. A slow “eye blink” from across the room is considered a cat kiss.

12. Cats Love with their Butts. This is another “back handed compliment” that cats offer to only their most trusted, beloved people. Because kitties identify each other by scent, butt-sniffing is the equivalent to a very personal hand shake. When your cat jumps on your lap and presents her tail in your face, the invitation is obvious—not that you need to sniff!

13. Cats Love with their Tails. In a similar fashion, the “elevator butt” pose invites you to give special attention. Simply scratch her above the tail. Cats also signal their love when they approach you with the tail held straight up, and the end slightly tipped over. Kittens use this to greet their mother—and adult cats continue to treat their favorite humans like a beloved mom, with tails flagged high in respect.

14. Cats Love with Meowing. Cats rarely meow at other cats. Kitty uses these vocalizations specifically to interact with her people. Do you make a point to talk with those you dislike? Neither do cats! Even when kitty pesters you with lots of meows, she’s interacting with you out of love.

Guess what mom did to me and my fur mama, Kittzi 160203 again yesterday? She put us in our carrier then the towel over it and put us in the bathroom and closed the bathroom door so she could clean and vacuum our room! Then when she was done she brought us back in and took us out one at a time giving us hugs and kisses.

You can see a couple pictures in my gallery of us that mom took in our carrier plus she added FIVE mew pictures there as well!

For the next several months we may not be on too often as mom and dad will be xtra busy. We will try to get on when we can!

Mom's mew little kitty book called "I Could Pee On This" through her Fresh Step Litter Paw Points:

F O R E V E R

I could lie by your sidefor the rest
of our lives
I think I'll walk away right now
I could let you pet me for
a hundred years
I think we need some time apart
I could be kissed a thousand
thousand times
I think I'm needed somewhere else
I could sit on your lap forever
I said I could sit on your lap forever
Don't you even think of trying to get up
Well, you should have gone
to the bathroom beforehand
Because forever is a very, very long time

How Cats Love – Part 1 (from cats.about.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
There's no doubt that cats love us as much as we love them. People who haven't been blessed with furry feline love have a difficult time believing this though, because kitties show affection very differently than people do. In fact, some cat behaviors that puzzle, aggravate or even offend people are a cat's way of expressing undying affection.

1. Cats Love with Purrs. Her purrs can mean a variety of things, from delight to expressions of concern. And kitty purrs range from soft and subtle to Mack-truck loud. When your cat purrs in your presence, you can be sure she’s expressing her love for you.

2. Cats Love with Bunting. When a cat cheek-rubs you, head-bumps your face, or pushes against you, he leaves his scented signature. These behaviors, termed bunting, are expressions of affection cats display to other cats, dogs-and their most favorite people.

3. Cats Love with Spraying. Say it ain’t so! But it’s true—if your cat has decided to baptize your bed or other belongings with urine, you should consider it a back-handed compliment. Cats use their own scent to calm themselves down. Kitties feeling upset over separation anxiety or other issues often target areas that smell the most like their beloved owners…such as the bed.

4. Cats Love with Rolling. When kitty throws himself on the ground at your feet, and rolls around, consider this a loving greeting and a solicitation for attention. Presenting the tummy in this fashion places the cat in a vulnerable posture. So cats generally reserve the rolling around for people they truly love.

5. Cats Love with Scratching. Just as with the spraying, cat scratching leaves both scented and visual marks of ownership. Pay attention to where your cat scratches the most. The areas most important to kitty often are related to those places associated with the owner, like a favorite chair where you sit.

6. Cats Love with Gifting. Mighty hunter cats that catch everything from toys to bugs, mice or frogs, often share the bounty with those they love. Kitties who present you with this bounty deserve praise. They wouldn’t bring these special gifts if they didn’t love you.

7. Cats Love with Grooming. Cats spend an enormous amount of time self-grooming. They also groom each other, but shared grooming behaviors only happen between friendly cats. Kitties that groom their human by licking your skin or hair, or even nibbling or sucking on your clothing, indicates great affection. This spreads familiar scent and helps mark you as an important part of her family group.

A Cat's Diary -
================================
Day 84 of my captivity…

My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded. Maybe I should try this at the top of the stairs.

In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. I must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little kitty cat I was. This is not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing something called ' allergies.' Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit.

The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He speaks with them regularly, and I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait.

It's only a matter of time. =^.^=

FOOD STAMPS FOR CATS: New Program Helps Low-Income Families Keep Their Companions
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
The Pet Food Stamps program, a registered NYS non-profit corporation, has been created to fill the void in the United States Food Stamp program which excludes the purchase of pet food & pet supplies. In these rough economic times, many pet owners are forced to abandon their beloved pet to animal shelters due to the inability to pay for their basic food supply & care.

There are over 50 million Americans who currently receive Food Stamps, many with dogs or cats, who simply cannot afford to feed their animals, and these cherished companions are dropped off at animal shelters where they will most likely be put to sleep. Many people are also forced to choose between feeding their pets or themselves.

A recent New York Times article states that “animal shelters have reported a steep rise in the number of cats & dogs being surrendered as owners face unemployment, home foreclosures, evictions & other financial hardships.” As more families struggle with difficult choices like paying the rent or buying food, some have to choose between keeping their pet & putting food on the table.

Seven million pets are surrendered to shelters each year due to the inability of pet parents to pay for food, with four million of those pets put to sleep. The Pet Food Stamps program aims to eliminate the needless death of these loving pets & keep families together.

The Pet Food Stamps program, due to the generosity of contributors & patrons, are able to eliminate that heart-wrenching decision by making sure these pet owners are given free monthly home delivery of all necessary food supplies to maintain the health & vitality of their pets.

The program is available to U.S. residents who are currently receiving food stamps, or whose income is around or below the poverty level. Applicants complete a brief online form. Due to the popularity of the program, which speaks to its great need, approval of applications currently takes several weeks. Pet Food Stamps is getting up to 3000 requests per day, and more than 45,000 people have already signed up.

Once need is determined & the application approved, the families get pet food each month for a 6-month period from pet food retailer PetFlow. It is supported by private donations.

With the continued growth of the Pet Food Stamps program, the founders hope to expand the program later this year to include offering free or heavily discounted veterinary care for qualified program beneficiaries.

For more information about the program, to apply, or to make a donation to support it, please visit PetFoodStamps.org.

Happy Cinco de MEOW!
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
This blog will coincide with one of my favorite cultural events, Cinco de MEOW.

It’s a day devoted to celebrating feline culture, rather like every other day of the year, but with the addition of fish tacos.

To be clear, it’s not just a day about cats. It’s a day about cats and couches.

Most people do not understand the important history of this day. Cinco de MEOW commemorates the anniversary of the first day a cat and a couch were brought together, in ancient Egypt. Cats have never forgotten this, and instinct calls kitties around the world to observe this judicious pairing of cats and furniture with a holiday nap.

Cinco de MEOW is a time for carousing on the couch.

I will be napping in my usual place all morning, and then living it up with an exciting afternoon on the other end of the sofa. I expect the stroll from one end to the other to be a special highlight of the day. You will want to be sure your couch is ready for the fiesta!

As a human, it’s important that you support your cat to have the best possible Cinco de MEOW.

Fluff the pillows
Wait on your kitty
Prepare special foods
People like to add a Mexican flair to Cinco de MEOW, which is fine with cats, as long as you make sure to add tuna to everything.

Happy Cinco de MEOW. Party on, cats!
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Okay, on a more serious note… This Cinco de Mayo, Humane Societies across the nation will be throwing fiestas. Kitten season is the perfect time for this new event, Cinco de MEOW. Cinco de MEOW promotions at Humane Societies are basically a good way to promote adoptable cats and let people know that they have a lot of them who need homes this spring.

Although kittens can be cute and cuddly, it’s important to not forget that adult cats need a family too. They’re a lot easier, because you don’t have to go through all the kitten phases and you can bond just as well with them.

Some cat lovers say that when it comes to getting a pet, cats do not get the consideration they deserve. Operations Coordinator Denise Plemmons says, “I don’t think a lot of people realize what a good friend they [cats] can be and good support through hard times. They are a part of your family, becoming companions you can lean on if you need to.”

Because dogs gave higher adoption rates, the theme for Cinco de MEOW is helping cats overcome odds. This Cinco de MEOW, Humane Societies are striving to adopt as many cats as possible. It takes only one person to make a difference. Every adoption is marked as a success!

Mom has been opening mine and Kittzi's window early in the mornings since the sunshine comes through and makes it really warm in our room then she turns on our ceiling fan! We really like sitting up on the window sill taking in the furrresh air and watching the outside kitties.

Yesterday late afternoon, mom came in to check on me and Kittzi and to give us our loves, but mom was mean to me and abused me! She had dad come into our room to hold me while she cleaned my butt furrr! I squirmed and wiggled abouts so mom told dad to hold me by the scruff of my neck. She acted like she was micie mice all the time cleaning then combing it and saying "it will make me feel and smell better" also that "I she mew it was an accident"! Yes, I had poo on me (bad) plus I got it on the window sill and a little on the carpet, too.

For the next several months we may not be on too often as mom and dad will be xtra busy. We will try to get on when we can!

A Word With Whiskers – May 04
A Fitting Finale - by Nancy Kucik
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Laser was a therapy cat for more than twelve years, and in that time I was fortunate enough to see him do many amazing things & spread a tremendous amount of happiness. One November evening, though, his gift of empathy surpassed every expectation I ever had. We were visiting the local children’s hospital shortly before Thanksgiving. As we were hurrying to the elevator to visit the children on the oncology unit, a woman tapped me on the shoulder & asked if Laser could visit with her daughter in the lobby before we went upstairs.

Of course I said yes. She led me to a teenager in a wheelchair. Both the girl & her mother told me how much they loved cats, & how sad they were because theirs had died only a few weeks before.

Laser was a world-class snuggler. From the tiniest child, whose lap was so small that he had to do some serious contortions in order to fit, to the largest adult, Laser had a reputation at the hospital for always finding a way to curl up & cuddle.

That’s why I thought it was so strange when Laser did not curl up onto the teenager’s lap. Instead, as soon as I placed him on the girl’s lap, he climbed up & positioned himself with his chin resting on her shoulder & the length of his body pressed against her chest.

A big smile lit up the girl’s features as she blissfully closed her eyes & rubbed her face against the soft fur of Laser’s head & back.
It wasn’t until I had been watching this happy interaction for several minutes that it suddenly dawned on me that the girl was not using her hands to pet Laser, and in fact her arms were paralyzed.

Did Laser somehow know this girl was unable to use her hands to pet him? Is that why he so uncharacteristically cuddled on her shoulder rather than her lap? I don’t know, but I don’t have any other explanation.

That encounter was especially poignant because it turned out to be Laser’s last therapy visit. At age 14, he died very suddenly & quite unexpectedly just a couple of weeks later.

While I was devastated by his loss, the thought of all the joy he brought over the years & the difference he made in so many lives makes me smile. There could be no more fitting final chapter in the life of this amazing therapy cat than that experience at the children’s hospital. I know Laser’s spirit will live on not only in that girl’s heart, but in the hearts & memories of everyone else whose life he touched.

♥ Hello Friends, this time it's just me - Sassee 10605 tonight! I got rid of my irritating littermate brother, Jazpyr! MOL!

♥ On Thursday morning, dad held each of us inside kitties while mom gave us our pawdicures then mom put Frontline Plus for Dogs on us. Afterwards, we got Greenie treats! I was a little hissy, but mom said I did pretty good considering I'm still having pain in my front legs. Mom was trying to be very gentle as not to pull or hold my front legs tight.

♥ Mom did open dad's bedroom window this morning so we could go out in the cattery. Rhoamin was the only one wanting out at the time! Mom then had to leave cuz she had several errands to get done plus while she was at Sears, she had a coupon for an oil change so she got dad's truck done. Dad was surprised when mom got home to let him know!

♥ Yippee! The mailman delivered a package this afternoon from EntirelyPets.com which is my Dasuquin pills for my Degenerative Arthritis Disease. Actually, there were three packages which two was for dad from the VA as dad had to order a new mask for his C-PAP! So, mom had to call Dr. Liz to see how many Dasuquin mom's suppose to give me. I'm suppose to get two capsules a day. Mom waited for me to wake up and I came to her. She gave me both my pills then I ate! Now it's just time to see if they work for me!

A Word With Whiskers – May 03
For The Love Of Cats – A Human Introspection
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Of all the animals who have shared our lives for generations, we know the least about the cat. That doesn’t mean we love them any less; in fact, the air of mystery each cat carries is one of the reasons we love them so much. Cats have never changed to suit our desires. They play by their own rules and we love and admire them for their independence of spirit.

Cats started hanging around us because we were useful to them. Our switch from hunter-gatherers to farmers meant that we attracted lots of fat, little rodents to our grain stores. The cat has been welcome in our barns ever since, and by our hearths as well.

Few cats have to earn their living today and many have lives that keep them completely indoors, hunting for little beyond a warm place to sleep. More than 20 years have passed since the cat claimed the title of #1 pet over the dog, and the gap just keeps widening.

The closer we get to our cats, the more we find to love them. They offer warm companionship, endless entertainment and soothing comfort. Science concurs; pets in general- cats in particular, are good for us in countless ways. They keep us busy, keep us from being lonely and even help keep us healthier.

We can’t imagine living without animals in our lives. We love cats, from the purr of a new kitten’s greeting to the last sad good-bye of an aged friend. We love the snuggles on the couch while watching TV, the silly games with a string toy or laser pointer, the sharing of a joke or a secret or even a bit of our dinner. Our cats are always with us, in spirit even when they cannot be with us in person.

Every cat lover knows cats don’t care who you are or what you look like. They love us regardless. Cats teach us, heal us, make us laugh, and break our hearts with their passing. Cat people understand the benefits of feline companionship because we live with cats, love them, and care for and about them. The strength of the human-animal bond and the growing importance of pets in our lives is phenomenal. We humans celebrate the CAT.

A Word With Whiskers – May 02
Whisker’s Furever Home – by Mom Mandy
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
I had always been a dog person, having had 2 big boys, an Airedale-Terrier mix and the other a Pointer. Both were rescue dogs and they were the loves of my life for 12 years. When they crossed the Rainbow Bridge within one year of each other, I thought my world had ended.

I would come home from work and sit in the backyard staring at the empty doghouse. With 2 big dogs, a cat in our yard was a rare sighting. One evening I noticed a black & white tuxedo cat staring at me from afar. When I tried to approach her she would hiss and run away. I started leaving food out for her and the next day the bowl was always empty.

My spiral into depression continued. I missed my dogs so much. My husband decided to take me away on a trip to Hawaii. Two weeks later a surprise awaited us on our return home.

Our empty doghouse had been used by the black & white tuxedo cat to give birth to her 5 feral kittens. I didn't know what a feral cat was, but I learned quickly. We left food for the cats and tried to catch a glimpse whenever possible, but the mother was guarded and we respected that.

One morning when I was leaving food out I noticed the mother was gone. 5 small kittens were left crying and hissing as if calling out for their mother. I thought they were adorable, but my friends said beware of feral cats for fear of disease or physical attacks. I got on the internet, learned about Trap-Neuter-Release techniques, and set out on a mission to save these babies.

It took several days, but I did manage to get all 5 of the kitties fixed. I released them back into our neighborhood, prayed and waited.

They came back one by one, as I always put food out, morning and night. I had names for them all - Howlie, Patches, Whitey, Callie and Whiskers. One day I noticed Howlie was gone. I checked the local animal shelters, but Howlie never came back. Soon after Patches was gone too.

I decided to put up a cat fence around my yard and try to trap the remaining 3 kitties in my yard. What an adventure that was! Callie came willingly. Whiskers came back next, but he was injured. We fixed him up and he has never left since. Sadly, Whitey is still outside, but she comes home to eat every day. I pray every night that one day Whitey will come inside and be with the family that loves her.

A Word With Whiskers – May 01
About Whiskers and His Family – An Introduction
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
I am so happy to be your COTM candidate this month. Happy May Day to all of you and thank you for the many Happy Birthday wishes to my fursisters and me.

Let me begin my first blog by telling you a little bit about myself and my family, and how we came to be.

I’ve been a CC member since Jan. 2012 & I was voted CROTD in August 2012 and COTD in September 2012. In September 2012, I earned my wings as a pilot in the Royal Squadron studying at the Royal Flight Academy under the instruction of K. Pete (72572). I met and fell in love with his beautiful fursister, Talley (88476), who officially became my girlfriend on December 12, 2012, without question, the happiest day of my life.

My pawrents were life long fans of canines before us, and it has taken them several years to finally recognize that cats are individuals, unlike any other pet, with many unique traits adding to our feline mystique.

Entering the world as feral kittens, the angels of good fortune took pity upon us and brought us to our furever home. Even though my Mom knew absolutely nothing about cats, she would never turn away an animal in need. So we had a safe haven, but we still were not really a part of the family. Cats were thought of as adornments – no interaction necessary or needed. How wrong we proved that misconception to be.

It wasn’t until my Mom retired from her job, now spending time at home with us, did she really begin to notice what wonderful, loving companions we could be. But now what, she wondered? They don’t like to go for walks and they don’t fetch or catch Frisbees. So my Mom turned to the Internet to find out what cats are all about. After extensive research, reading and getting to know one another, we’ve finally begun to appreciate and partially understand each other.

Together, we have been reading everything we can about us amazing felines. My pawrents are learning to appreciate this fascinating creature, the Cat. My fursister Callie and I have turned this once “dogs only” household into a haven worthy of cats. We have an outside fursister named Whitey, who still is not convinced about being an indoor cat, but we are adamantly working on changing her mind. I hope you enjoy my daily blogs, sharing what we’ve read and enjoyed together.

I’d like to thank Queen Trixie (#172636) for her wonderful reign as our Queen for April 2013. She was a great leader who will be missed, and we wish her a happy retirement! This morning, let’s give a warm CC welcome to our beautiful new Queen Spunky (#161265)! See you at the Coronation!

Thank you Callie 239447 for being our GPC Reporter for the month of April! I will now be your mew GPC Reporter during the month of May!

Wow! Two years ago today [5/01] it was a frosty Sunday morning when I was hit by a car and barely survived! The ER Vet almost lost me on the xray table and had to stop. They had to get me stablized and warm. To this day, mom swears that it was the frosty morning that saved me as it slowed my blood flow and such down! Well, the good mews is, mom says you would never know by looking at me that I was ever hit!

Mom has been opening mine and Kittzi's 160203 window and turning on our ceiling fan the last several days. We enjoy laying on the window sill with the warm sunshine on us and fresh air! We also have been watching mom and dad while they're in the back yard as well as the outside kitties.

For the next several months we may not be on too often as mom and dad will be xtra busy. We will try to get on when we can!

Mom's mew little kitty book called "I Could Pee On This" through her Fresh Step Litter Paw Points:

BROTHERS

They say we are brothers though
we look nothing alike
They say we are family though
we differ so much
I am tabby, you are brown
I am long. you are short
I am thin, you are stout
I am lively, you are shy
I am a kitten, you are a hamster
But kin is kin
So let me run on your wheel

♥ Before it was mom's bedtime last night, I insisted her to hold me since she has been neglecting me the last few days!!!! Tehehehe!!!! Then she held me again this morning.

♥ Mom went out in the back yard to scoop the big sand~litter box then dad took five gallon buckets out to mom so her and dad could fill them with the stinky urine smelled sand to haul away. They came back with [10] five gallon buckets of fresh new sand. Dad dumped six buckets of the sand in the box then mom spreaded it out so now the outside kitties has a nice clean smelling sand~litter box to use.

♥ After mom and dad was done with that, they then loaded the truck up with old junk, windows and such to haul off to the dump. They finally got done for the day about 1:30 this afternoon.

♥ Mom is very tired and still dealing with her headache due to her neck & shoulder being out again!!!!

♥ Mom & dad had an errand to do first thing this morning then when they got back home, they pretty much rested & watched recorded shows. Mom's been dealing with a nasty headache all day, too. I took advantage of the situation & got lots of mom time!!!! Tehehehe!!!! Mom says her & dad will be back to working in the back yard tomorrow though with getting sand for the sand-litter box then other clean ups!!!!

♥ Here's a story we wanted to share from an email mom received:
"Cat rescued from sign above highway"
ELKHART, Ind. (UPI) Animal rescuers in Indiana said a cat was brought down from atop a sign near a highway overpass two days after it was first spotted.

The Humane Society of Elkhart County said the Elkhart Police Department received a call Thursday about a cat on top of a sign near the St. Joseph Valley Parkway overpass on U.S. 33, but officers were unable to find the feline, the Elkhart Truth reported Wednesday.

The Humane Society received a similar call the following day and the orange cat was discovered sitting atop a light on the sign, about 15 feet from the overpass, said Megan Gonterman, assistant director of the Humane Society.

The cat was rescued with help from the Elkhart Street Department.

"He was a little on the dehydrated side," Gonterman said. He ate right away, so he was pretty hungry, too.

"He was a little scared of stuff at first, but he's a really friendly cat," she said. I think he was just happy to be down.

The cat, which has been dubbed Freeway, was likely thrown from the overpass, Gonterman said. She said it would have been difficult for the feline to reach the perch on its own.

♥ Good evening to our dear friends!!!! Yes, I am back and mom did finish Pappoose's 10366 Thank Yous last night for her First Forever Sleep COTD Badge.

♥ Well, mom & dad wrapped up their 2-day yard sale on Saturday. The sale went pretty good and now mom wants to get some sand to replace the old stuff in the outside 5x5 sand~litter box. They won't know how to act with new and fresh sand!!!

♥ This morning, Mom & Dad packed the un-sold items then took them to Sara's Treasures, which is a second hand store and all proceeeds sold there goes towards spaying/neutering/Fostering and such. They also have lots of kitties there up for adoption. Mom said they had part of the store unavailable cuz they have kitties back there under Quarrantine.

♥ We have been going out in the cattery everyday. Sometime Saturday late afternoon though, mom was at the kitchen sink and she was smelling pee so she started looking around and seen it. Mom knew who did it. I was lying on the counter and she told me that I was a bad boy and said that I was lucky that dad didn't know what I did. She never once raised her voice though then she cleaned it up with paper towels and vinegar.

♥ SASSEE 10605 has been in some pain again so mom has been giving her pain medicine. Whyskrs 10378 also got in trouble as he's been acting like a Tom with Sassee. Mom heard her screaming the other day cuz of that boy and he got in trouble then mom comforted Sassee. That boy never learns!!!!

Hi Chloe!
The outside kitties are doing fine this morning. Both Whitey and Orangie were waiting when my Mom opened the garage door. They love their Sheba food, but not enough to eat from the bowl Mom puts in the cat carrier. They do peek inside, but do so very cautiously. Baby steps!

We are all heading back to White Squirrel Park for some more fun at the MHL Campout (189629). We heard there will be hay wagon rides today! YIPPEE! We hope to see all of you there!

I left a vote pretty kitty with purrs and hugs.

CAT RIDDLES :)

Where does a cat go when it loses its tail?
The retail store.

Why did the cat cross the road?
To prove he wasn't chicken.

What did the hundred pound mouse say when it walked down the alley?
"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty."
