My Cat Blog

hi angael piu and fam
a scooter said to tell u hi and she is sorry she cant get by to blog, it is my fault as i need puter time to catpaign

well momma is feeling better so maybe i can visit some of ur pages today. she still is not at her best so bear with us.

OKAY WE WILL NOW CARRY ON WITH UR LESSON ON PLANTING BY THE SIGNS
I SURE HOPE I AM NOT BORIN U WITH OUR OLD BUT GOOD WAY OF LIFE HERE IN THE HILLS.

The signs always appear in sequence, beginning with the Ram or head and working their way down to pisces, the fish or feet. Following pisces, the ram appears again beginning a new sequence.

Each of the signs is known as being either masculine, feminine, airy, dry, barren, firey, earthy, moist, watery, fruitful, or very fruitfull. In general any acativity that requires a dry atmosphere such as painting, should be done in one of the dry signs; and an activity requiring moisture, such as some planting, should be done on one of the moist or fruitful signs.

The best time of all, of course, to conduct any activity is when a day falls on both an ideal sign and a good phase of the moon.

Over the years, a more specific set of rules has grown up around the zodiac which governs such activities as planting and harvesting. These rules take into account both the sign governing the day and the phase of the moon on that particular day. At the beginning of the planting season, for example, the farmer consults his calendar, picks out one of the 14 favorqble days that occur every month, and plants only on one of these 14 fruitful days. Should he miss and plant his crops on one of the unfruitful days, his crips will not produce at half their ability, and it is said that even a few hours can make the difference between success and failure.

That will be all for today see u again tomorrow

1/24/13 Another Frosty Thursday from Barney! -7
Feels like -20 they say--- guess I'll stay in my fuzzy donut bed and dictate to mom. Mom went to the post office yesterday and says she will stay home today.

I talked about myself yesterday and many of you said you could relate to the dental issues. We should remind our Pawrents February is pet dental month--- please check our mouths and take care of any issues. Mouth health affects the whole purrson-- cat, dog, human or other critter. Please take note cats and kits and cooperate with the exam. I will try to take my own advice!

Well, yesterday I promised to start telling about the dogs in our family, both of which are cat friendly and well trained by me! I remember one day when mom was frustrated and they were both in a state of excitement. She gave the sit command and nothing happened. All I did was hop in the chair next to her and raise my paw--- both bottoms hit the floor immediately! She just stood there with her mouth open and wondered, did I just see what I thought I saw?

Our oldest dog Ginger is a lab/rotty mix, about 65 lbs and 12 yrs old. She has kidney disease and is on medication. Our younger dog, who most humans think is older, is named Lucky. He is a Golden/bloodhound mix, 10 yrs old and about 90 lbs. Both came from friends of mom, who were unable to keep them. Ginger came from a friend, whose parents decided to move the family to Florida and were continually having housing issues. Mom offered to keep Ginger until they got settled. Ten years later, she is still with us. Lucky came from a man going into assisted living and he was unable to keep such a large dog. Mom worked with his niece and she asked if we could take him, because the family wanted to euthanize him and he was a healthy 5 yr old at that point. Lucky originally was slated to go into our foster program to be adopted out, but mom discovered he did not get along well around other dogs. He did get along with Ginger and with us, but maybe he understood that it was the end of the road, if he didn't! Mom always calls Lucky my Barney's dog and I have found him very useful. When I want to go out, I walk under his belly so I can't be seen. I feed Lucky and Ginger, of course, the treats off the top of the fridge. Lucky can also rip open food bags that I am unable to.

Well, that's it for today and I am not sure about tomorrow. Mom pulled out an album of past fosters and family members. I might also recall a few more dog tails or ? Hope everyone has a Great Day and keep warm and safe. Let me know where we should go with our stories.

Just saw a story on the news that a number of chimps used for medical research are being retired to a sanctuary where they can experience life free of cages and as natural as possible, because they could not live in the wild. About time! We wish them a great rest of their lives!

1/20/13 Sunny Sunday from Barney!
But here its a cold -1! The wind was howling last night and we all snuggled by mom or in the plush kitty nest beds! Zeus and I escaped out about 9pm last night when the dogs went out. Mom chased after, but she even had to go back for her coat. She knew we would not go far, but she was worried--- sometimes its good to know your mom worries!

One friend asked yesterday if our Andy and Milo ever saw each other again after Milo was adopted. No, unfortunately, but mom has pictures and has talked to Milo's new dad on the phone a few times. He is healthy and well loved.

Well, besides getting a very late start today,we were unsure whether to start a new story or another topic. We have two more current kitties to talk about, Hefty and myself, Barney. Hefty and his sister Tasha, originally named Pasha, came from mom's godson Jonathan. Mom got Pasha first. She changed her name for obvious reasons, because mom had Angel Pasha many years before and she did not feel comfortable calling another cat by that name. She began calling the new Pasha "Tasha", so it would not be too confusing for the kitty.
Hefner "Hefty" and Tasha were brother and sister and had come from the Humane Society several years earlier as brother and sister. They had traveled with Jonathan twice to Florida from Minnesota, where he had been working. After he lost his job, he and his wife came back to Minnesota to live with his mother and Tasha and Hefty were having a hard time adjusting to living with her cats. One of his mother's cats was very old and the Siamese were picking on him. Jonathan's mom called mom to ask if she could help. Let us explain that his mom and mom had been friends since ninth grade. They are now both retired--- scarey! Mom agreed to take Tasha first and Tasha soon found another forever home through adoption. Mom might have kept her if she realized she would be getting Hefner a few months later, but Tasha had found a wonderful home and mom could not ask for her back.

So there is your preview of at least the first half of the week ahead. Lots to cover and think about. So glad we have been getting so many positive and wonderful comments on all our stories. We do enjoy telling them, as much as you enjoy listening. There is sometimes a lot of sadness and pain in rescue, but it is all the great, loving forever home stories that make it worthwhile. Of course, all of you know that too and that is what makes the CC family so wonderful! Have a Super Sunday, rest, and be ready for the new week ahead. Love to all, Barney and family and mom Judi too.

1/19/13 Happy Caterday!
Barney Here--- Mom has her coffee, so we are ready to go. 29 degrees here and that is supposed to be the high today. We will see. They say the winds will howl amd below zero temps are coming from Canada. What part of "We don't want it" don't they understand?

Back to Andy and Milo and a bit more info on the names. They came to us with the names, so we don't really know who named them. As far as we know, they did not come from another group, just a lady, who regularly feeds strays out of her garage. After they were returned from their first adoption, we added a CC page for them. Almost immediately we found out there were another Andy and Milo, and in MHL hockey! Hi Furrends! Mom changed our page to Handy Andy and Milo,but dropped Milo's name when he was adopted a few weeks later.

So Milo was adopted by a lady, who had had a LH Black cat before and wanted one again. She only wanted one cat and, even though Andy and Milo had come in together, mom knew Andy got along well with us and would be OK. Andy missed his friend a lot, but soon another young foster joined us and then he was happy to have a playmate. Andy still was not adopted and one day mom noticed some sores on his skin, mostly on his back legs. She brought him to our vet and she concluded he might have an allergy, possibly to fleas or food or environmental pollen, as Spring had come. He didn't go outside and no fleas were found on him. She also listened to his heart and found a heart murmur, though it was very faint. Andy was first given prednisone for the skin condition, but it did not help much. It was actually a CC friend, who suggested her cat was on another medication and mom might ask her vet to try that. The new medication did work and was reasonably priced.

It was due to Andy's heart murmur that mom decided he would stay with us. He was doing well, but she was worried that the stress of biweekly adoptions might be too much of a stress on his heart. Neither the group nor she could afford heart surgery, even if it would help, but we could provide a low stress home and lots of TLC. From Andy's behavior, he doesn't have any limitations from his health issues. He still plays rough and enjoys MHL on CC! Mom watches and loves him and gives what medications he needs. He will be with us for life, as long as he is enjoying the best quality of life we can provide.

Well, tomorrow is Sunday and we invite you to ask questions about any of our stories this week or anything else you wish to ask. We will answer, if we are able. Have a Super Caterday and enjoy whatever you wish to enjoy! Give your pawrents lots of purr therapy.

Please visit the Knight family, as their doggie Carly Knight(#11000DC) crossed the Bridge yesterday. Their note is also posted on the CMR. We hold them all in our prayers. See all of you tomorrow!

1/17/13 Happy Thursday from Barney and all
Getting a later start here. Mom was so tired, we just had to give her an extra hour. Luckily the dogs cooperated an slept an hour more too. The temp here is down to 9 degrees and expected to drop to 4, before going the other way for a brief time.

Well, yesterday you got the first part of Molly's story. She was rescued from under a porch in a rough neighborhood. We forgot to mention that she also had an injured eye, which we do not know if it was an accident or abuse, but it was infected when she arrived and still has some scar tissue on it.

When Molly arrived at our house, she got the guest room, which mom does for all of us, and a trip to the vet to get checked out. In spite of living outside for so long, Molly was not feral and was friendly to mom, even though she had been around many humans, who did not treat her well. She was just glad to be inside and able to sleep at night and not worry about freezing. She cooperated with all the vets treatments and took her meds. Soon mom was able to take her to adoptions.

While many people showed interest in her story and Molly was friendly to all, she did not get adopted. Finally, after several months, mom was told of a situation with a lady named Edna, who was actually one of the founders of the ARF Rescue. Edna was retired, blind and, for the most part, bedridden. She had 24/7 attendants, but her last kitty had died of old age and Edna was suffering from depression. She had never been without a cat. Friends had tried another cat at her house, but it was scared and hid. Did mom think Molly could help? It was worth a try. The house had large sunny windows, cat perches and lots of pillows for resting,as well as loving humans. When mom brought Molly to the house, it was love at first touch! Molly came out of her carrier and explored a bit. Then, within minutes she went to Edna's bed, hopped up on her own, and went to Edna's hands to be petted. Edna was delighted. Molly stayed with her and purred. She would hop down, explore a bit more and then return to Edna's side, as if she knew exactly why she was there. Mom had tears, but she knew it was the best possible place for Molly and she could visit anytime. Molly seemed to understand how mom was feeling, when mom tried to kiss her good bye, she swatted mom's face! Not hard, but enough to say, I know my job and I'm fine here.

Molly stayed with Edna almost two years, until Edna passed over the Bridge in the Fall of 2010. Then, although several caregivers and friends wanted her too, she was returned to mom, as in the agreement with Edna, to have her forever home with us. Mom said she had done her duty in caring for Edna and had more than earned a forever home with us. Molly sleeps on mom's arm against her chest every night. Mom thinks she seeks out the feel of her heartbeat and shares the vibration of her purr.

So, dear friends, have a Super day and we will begin Andy's story tomorrow.

1/16/13 Wednesday--- Mid-Week, Mid-Month !
Barney here and our Catpaign is half over! Can you believe? Plus 26 degrees this morning here in Minnesota. The weather guesser says its up and then down to the deep freeze! I've hardly started talking about my current family. All the excitement and celebration the last couple days with Zeus's COTD yesterday! Wow! Now he is sleeping in like a baby. Not a peep yet this morning. If we missed anyone saying thank you for votes, shame on us. You are all precious to us and we are thankful to all. We do want to say Good Morning and Catgrat Fuzzy on his COTD today. May he have as wild and crazy a day today as Zeus did yesterday--- make it happen friends! Today its open, which means tomorrow is a surprise--- ???

Well, we talked about our foster? bro Zeus for a good two days. Today I want to talk about the lady of the house and not mom. Our sister Molly Jean runs the show. She came in as a foster just a bit after I did. I read on her page, mom said I used to give her the evil eye and pick on her-- don't remember that at all! Molly lived a hard life on the streets of Minneapolis. She was probably someone's cute kitten, who was kicked out of the house or let go when she reached the age of puberty/her first heat. People in her neighborhood reported to rescuers that she was living under a porch and had had several litters of kittens, who did not survive. She was still under the porch, it was winter, she looked pregnant and the landlord wanted her gone.
The investigator from mom's group was worried that she might come to a bad end and called to see if we had room, which we did.

Molly had kittens, but they died just after birth. She had a lot of parasites and was malnourished. Mom even waited a bit on her big girl surgery, because she needed to gain some health. The tips of her ears were frostbit.

Well, obviously Molly's life was all uphill from here, but we will have to wait til tomorrow to finish the story. We will tell how she went from an abused street cat to a loving therapy cat, giving back many times to those, who rescued her.

My mom also knows how precious the memories of her angels are so it was an honor to be the family angel that got to come by on your crossing day.

Trixie just completed her cyclonic rampage through CC so I'm doing a slow flight over the community to see what, if any, damage she may have caused...MOL! Hmmm...I think I see a couple of palms uprooted & I also see Cisco grinning like a Cheshire cat so she must have blown through here too...MOL!

1/15/13 Happy Third Tuesday??? Good Morning!
Barney Here--- Wow! You would not believe how Zeus is bouncing around in Joy! He hurried down to have breakfast, only to find a pile of greetings, toys and treats and that Beautiful Shiney Badge on his CC page!! Party, Party!! He shouts--- invite all our friends! Thank you, thank you dear CC furrends for my COTD!! Mom is trying so hard to tell him, you have to eat a healthy breakfast first. Will he do it? Not today--- a kid in a candy shop has nothing on our Zeus! Thank you so much CC furrends, this is what Life is all about!

What more can we say? Just a few words on the importance of friendship and support. Mom got us on CC a bit over four years ago. At first, she wasn't sure what to expect, but very quickly we were welcomed to CC and began making furrends. After a year, we were still on, had gotten a couple COTD awards, without even asking to run, and had been asked to join MHL--mouse hockey. That was a natural for us, though mom protested a bit, saying she knew nothing about hockey.
Our dogs joined DC and, at that time, we even had a couple rescued rats on SAC. Mom remembers one day hearing Dr. Phil saying, "How can anyone get on the computer for hours and pretend to be their cat or dog? Well, we want to answer that for you Dr. Phil! It is the most natural and normal thing in the world! We join together in a community of love, caring and respect for all. We support each other through our ups and downs in life, through our common interests in a safe environment. There have been a few mistakes, we are never purrfect, but we are a strong community, because our hearts are pure and we care for one another.

There, I have got on my soapbox, though I want to know, why a soapbox? Why not a catfood box or crate of cans? This blog may be a bit shorter than usual, but it is Zeus's day to celebrate and celebrate we will! No live blogging, mom has to go help her cousin Janet, who is studying for her State Boards, which she is taking next week to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. You might remember that is her cousin that lost her dad from Alzheimer's a year ago, just before Thanksgiving. So come Party on our pages, share and enjoy all the treats and toys to be had! Love to all--- Barney, Zeus, Handy Andy, Molly Jean, Hefty and mom, Judi.

1/14/13 A Monday Morning Wake Up! Barney waves!
Actually we are the ones needing to wake up, judging from the votes already on Zeus and my, Barney's pages! It's only 5 degrees here, but since we are indoor cats, except when we manage to escape, we have to go by the dogs report and they came back with frost on their whiskers!

Well, you might guess that today we will be talking more about Zeus, since its his day to run for COTD. His basic story has been told before. He came from a kill shelter in another state and someone in our group, who keeps an eye on the net, saw him. a couple other cats and a dog. Our group was able to take Zeus, another cat and the dog. Mom took Zeus and what an adventure that has been! He was 8-9 months when he first came to us. His big boy surgery and shots were done before he came to our home. Mom worked on his socialization with us, both cats and dogs and her. He goes to adoption events at PetCo and PetSmart every other Saturday. The main question people ask now is why hasn't he been adopted--- mom's question too. It is also the question of new fosters when they join a group, how long does it take? Previously we talked about Penny, who was adopted within two weeks. Zeus is still with us after six months.

First of all, mom's group screens new homes very carefully. The cats and dogs are posted on Petfinder.com for our group and area. Zeus goes to adoptions every other week, twice a month. He does not show well, because he is very scared. He by now thinks he should stay with us. Mom loves him like crazy and he knows that. He hisses and spits at potential families, though mom did try Feliway last week and it seemed to help. She also got him a high-edged round bed, which he can hide in. Yes, we want very much to keep him, but our home is full and if we keep him, it means no more cats can come in until one of us crosses the Bridge. Not going to happen for a long time! We hope. Other than all his mischief, Zeus is a sweet cat and even demands his share of lap time. He still attacks mom's ankles and feet, but when she says ouch and enough and, if necessary, stops him with a hand on his scruff, he does stop. She then walks away and ignores him for awhile. Being ignored is not something Zeus enjoys!

So there you have it. We are not giving up on Zeus. He is welcome to stay and we love him dearly, but at this point he is still going to adoptions and we are still hoping for a purrfect forever home. Mom's heart will break, but it will also heal, when we know its "One more stray out of harms way," the motto of our rescue.

You are very welcome for our visit & gifts. We were thrilled to see our old friend from our own town on the crossing list. Has been quite awhile since we were in touch. We were so very sorry to see that both Rusty & Rocky became Angels last year. That is terrible! Deepest sympathy to your family for their losses.

Hi Angel Piu and Mom
You're very welcome! We've only been here 3 years and we're amazed how many CC kitties we have welcomed across the Bridge since then. Some were expected arrivals, some came as a complete shock, and of course there are always others who are sick and who we know will be arriving soon. That's got to be one of the worst things about CC sometimes. But one of the best things about CC is that we are never forgotten, and that our families who are left behind don't feel so alone when we make our crossing. Every family here has at least one Angel, even if they don't all have pages (I think CC would crash if they all did!), so every family here understands. We'll help you watch over Boots in her new home and hope that she adjusts and becomes happy there. -- Angel Smokey and family

Hello again Angel Piu and Kathy
We are so sorry to hear how bad the past year has been for your family. We hope that this next year will bring healing. We've only been here about six months and feel very fortunate to have met so very many wonderful fur friends and their families. We are always thrilled to meet more of our CC Angels and their people. It's always good to have furiends on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge! Sounds like you have a spunky little survivor in your dad's house, now. Be sure to gather up the other Angels in the family and watch over the little cutie! Keep us posted! We'd love to have you guys as furiends!
Many purrs a d a vote, Jakar

1/12/13 Happy Caterday to all!
Barney here again and how I do love that Caterday expression! Well, I have been doing a lot of thinking this week about the theme for our January Catpaign. We have talked a lot about mom and our rescue group. So far most of the kitties we've introduced have been past Angels. I do want to talk about the current kitties too, so I guess we can call our theme a self-portrait of our CC family.

While I can't remember exactly how long we have been on CC, it has been about four years. My first COTD was 2/26/09. Mom discovered CC a short time after the death of a good friend, who had been living with her for several years. The way mom met her was through another friend, who had known Lynne from childhood and knew mom from working together at the U. of MN. Lynne lost her apartment when her landlord was remodeling the building. She had four cats and needed to find someone to care for them until she found another place to live. Their mutual friend approached mom with the problem and asked mom if there was any way she could help. Mom already had several cats she was fostering and really was at her limit. She was living by herself in the house she inherited from her grandmother, who had died a year before. Finally she asked where Lynne would be living and the answer was that she did not know. Mom thought on the problem. It did not make sense for her to take more cats, but she did have room for another human, if she was sure they were a safe person to live with. Her friend assured mom she had known Lynne since childhood, so mom decided to take a chance. Mom decided the only way she would take the cats was if Lynne came with and cared for them. Lynne's male cats George and Reggie had been neutered, but her females Felicia and Baby (who was Felicia's baby) were not. Mom made an agreement with Lynne that she would help get low cost spays for the girls, but Lynne did need to agree to have the cats spayed, if they were to live with mom. She quickly agreed.

Well, tomorrow is Sunday, and Sunday we would like to keep as an open day for questions about anything you may want to know from the week before. Depending on the number of questions, we will try to answer all, but may have to save some for the coming week or for purrsonal blogs.

Dear Piu's Mom,
You're very welcome. My goodness you've certainly had your share of tragedy last year. My prayers and blessings are with you for 2013 and forever. Good luck with the new Butt-Butt kitty! The best way to pay homage to our pets who cross the Bridge is to take in another needy pet. And the love just goes on and on. I gave Piu a vote and my wishes go out for a blessed night.

Sincerely,
Malachi's Mama, Jody

Hi Again, Angel Piu ♥
I hope your Mom will make Boots a page soon and I'm sending hugs to her for her 1st vet appointment next week. I go to the vet so much that I could probably drive myself there, if Mom would let me. :)

Sending hugs and purrs,
Boo Kitty

You deserved to be remembered and you
deserved to win your ACOTD badge. I know that your Mom misses you a lot. Our Mom had a kitty who was naughty, too. She bit and hisses and growled and swatted and broke stuff, and Mom and Dad loved her like crazy. They will always love and miss her, and your Mom will always miss you. Love is forever.

Now that your Mom has another kitty, she should make her a profile on here. Then maybe she's blog a bit more! Hugs, KC and the Zoo Crew
