Sigh...

Kitties!

We always knew our Mommy was a renegade, bossy, and stubborn, but we NEVER suspected that she was a 

Bad Patient!

When she came home from the hospital we were all happy to see her and piled into bed to keep her warm.  She slept the night through, and in the morning, she GOT UP!

Since then, it's been impossible to keep her in bed.  She claims she's "bored", that she "feels great" and she "doesn't need a nap".  Can you believe THAT?  What self-respecting Furson turns down a NAP?

That's Crazypants!

Here's a few examples of her incorrigibleness:

Screen Climbing.

Nice butt crack Mommy.  Maybe you can get that fixed next?

Butt Sniffing.

X-TREME butt sniffing.

(do not try this at home.)

Scaling the Cat Trees.

Tunnel-Running!

Stretching on the Sisal.

What?  Go AWAY!  I'm busy!

Playing with straws and the ESS.

SWAT team, again!

Poor Sylvester, Mommy beat him to licking the bread wrapper.

Somehow, we thought Mommy was gonna be bedridden.  Instead, we have this energized insano-lady to deal with.  Kitties, we have four weeks to go...

Happy Monday!

PEE ESS:  Tomorrow is the drawing for our contest we did last Monday!

Pee Pee Ess:  (heh  heh we love to say "pee pee")  If you are interested, Mommy posted about her day in the hospital HERE.  (not graphic!)

Easy like Sunday Morning: Tired Two-fers

Kitties!

This has been ONE TOUGH week.

Mommy is home and we have been busybusybusy monitoring her every move.

It's enough to wear a kitty out, we tell you what!

She FINALLY went down for a nap, so we're getting a little shut-eye, too.

May Ling Does SuperCat Sleeping!

Maui is so tired he needs a chin rest.

Johnny hung various body parts off the platform during his nap.

CC succumbed.

Kitties, this Mommy-watching is rough...just wait and see what we've had to cope with...

Tomorrow, we tell ALL!

Happy Sunday!

Daddy Went To Lowe's Today...

...and he bought NIP!!!

Kitties!

Our fresh nip plants are here!

Daddy bought a whole flat to plant for us in our Nip Garden.  But first, we got to do Quality Control Inspection.

The SWAT team arrived.

Followed by Sylvester.

Salem waited until the coast was clear.

Sylvester came back for seconds!

Afterwards, we had to groom,

and rest,

and get silly!  Mommy was laughing and laughing at us.

It's supposed to get cold here in the desert this weekend, so our Nip is living in the garage at night.  We hope we get to eat some again tomorrow!

Happy Saturday!

She's HOME!

Kitties!

Mommy is home from the People-Vet!

We had a spy Cat in the hospital with her to keep a eye on her.

His name is Mr. Hiss-ter.

He made sure Mommy ate her foods and rested and took her medicines.

(Dilaudid--great stuff!)

We sent Mommy a card.

We think she must have really liked her medicine, it made her nose all red!

And here's our Mommy trudging the halls with a cath bag.

Classy, Mommy!

So we all piled in bed with Mommy when she got home, and we slept with her all night.

She's moving pretty slow, not climbing the screen door or anything yet.

So we are gonna take a couple days off yet...and we hope to do our draw for our prize soon.

Thank You everybody and everycat, for all your prayers and purrs.

We know they helped.

Love,

Today is the Day!

Kitties!

Today Mommy is getting her hisser removed!

It's only right and proper as today is Spay and Neuter Day, USA.

We made her a card:

We think she's gonna LOVE it!

Daddy will be calling Fin's Mom, from Housecat Confidential, with Mommy Updates...check in over there for the latest on our Mommy.  Our Mommy and Fin's Mom are in cahoots over something...we are't sure what.  We'll have to wait and see...

We loves ALL of you, and we'll be back as soon we can.

Mommy Monday

Kitties!

 Mommy is gonna be out of commission for a few days, having her Hiss removed.  We're looking forward to that! 

Mommy:  Guys, I'm having a Hysterectomy, not a Hiss removal.

So we don't forget what she looks like while she's at the VET the Hospital we decided to post a picture of her.  TWO pictures, in fact!

There are SEVEN things different in these pictures.  Can you find them all?

We have a little prize, and you don't have to answer correctly to win!  Just leave us a comment and we'll do a random draw when Mommy gets back to blogging, probably early next week.

And kitties?

Can you send a purr for our Mommy on Tuesday morning?

We appreciate it TONS!

Love,

The Katnip Lounge Kats  XX

ESSunday!

Kitties!

Daddy ROCKS.

Oh yes he does...he went back to Wally World and got us another ESS!

May Ling likes it when they are together.

Ahhhh, plenty of room.

My sparkle ball is here for instant play satisfaction!

And Grayce enjoys propping herself up.

Three Cats in a row...

Puffy, KonaKitty, and Grayce.

This is so comfortable.

My paws are nice and cozy warm.

She fell asleep like this...heh heh.

In other news, we have a special Mommy Monday post tomorrow, and a small contest with a little prize!

We hope to see you.  In the meanwhile,

Happy Sunday!

Sleepy Sweet Pea

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

This is how I like to torture Mommy in the morning as she's leaving for work.

I curl up all cutesy-wootsy,

wriggle and roll...

and expose my tummy.

Mommy is almost late for work sometimes, because she can't resist!

heh heh.

Soon, she'll be completely under my spell.

Happy Saturday!

Our Mommy is HIGH!

Kitties!

We've been wanting to do this for a long, long time.

YEARS.

(demerits for that!)

So let's cut to the chase:

1.  Quantity of Output:  FOUR PAWS!  Mommy has blogged for us every day, even when she wasn't feeling good.  She didn't take any vacations, go anywhere, or have a life.  Good Job, Mommy!

2.  Quality of Output:  FOUR PAWS!  Daddy has worked tirelessly photo-documenting the minutia of our daily doings (did that sound right?), and Mommy has sat endless hours with us on her lap, recording our every thought.  Mommy, for your bladder control alone, we salute you, and we will overlook the occasional inclusion of photos featuring our bottoms and the stray sarcastic remark.  After all, you're only Human.

3.  Client Pawticipation:  TWO PAWS.  Mommy, you are overly paranoid.  Why you don't make our email address an active link we'll never understand.  What's that?  You don't know how?

LAME!

You do get points for helping us with our love lives, after neutering us it's only fair.

4.  Pawticipation (Part II):  TWO PAWS.  Although we got to enter a FEW contests (And we've won some!) and we go to a lot of pawties on blogs, we don't get to do Chatzy, and there are a lot more things we'd like to try our paws at.  Because Cats are good at everything.  

Straighten up and fly right, Mommy!

5.  Client Satisfaction:  FOUR PAWS!  We hope that you enjoy visiting us every day...we have a blast plotting new things to do and show you.  By your comments, we think that we've got it right!  Naturally, any problems are all Mommy's fault.

OVERALL RATING:  ELEBENTY SEVEN PAWS!

Um, we don't do math well.

OK, at all.

Let's just say that we're pretty darn happy with the service we get with blogging.

The food schedule, well, that needs work.

Happy Friday!

Thankful Thursday

Kitties,

Felix here, and I have some very sad news.

The wonderfully Crabby Crumpet, Annie, from Fuzzy Tales, is gone.

Her Mom is terribly sad, can you please stop over and give her some purrs?

I am very sad, too.

Yet, I am so thankful to have spent time in her delightfully ornery orbit.

Not every curmudgeonly Ornj Cat is so lucky to court such a Furious Feline.

The happiest day in my life was when Annie said I might possibly measure up...I worked tirelessly to secure her admiration!

We were two peas in a pod; cranky at the world, our siblings, and our staff.  

Her fur was long and soft, her claws sharp, and her eyes--oh her eyes!--could freeze a ManCat in his tracks.

I'll never forget her Birthday Party, glaring balefully at each other across the hall, gently grumbling and hissing sweet nothings.  Her swats were the gossamer touch of an Angel's wings...which is what Miss Annie is now.

Tonight, I plan to run a few memory laps around the skyway, just like I used to do to impress My Gal.

Then, I'm going to pick out a new star in the sky tonight, a nice bright shiny one, to remember her by.

Annie, I will miss you.

We all will.

Au Revoir.

Daddy Spruces Up Outdoor Puffy Cat

Kitties!

Daddy decided we needed a decorative Cat for our new Catnip garden.

Naturally, Outdoor Puffy Cat was purrfect, but he was looking a little faded.

So Daddy gave him a make-over.

He got a fresh coat of blue paint...

...front and back.

Check out his face!

We think he looks quite pleased with his new look.

Here's Puffy Cat in the garden, just waiting to watch over our Nip plants, which should be in the garden stores in a couple of weeks.

He's very happy to be there!

Happy Tuesday!

You're Asking For It--Award Edition, Part Deux!

Kitties!

Last week we received the Stylish Blogger Award From Maggy and Zoey at ZOOLATRY!

Thank you so much, coming from such talented graphic artists it means a lot to be considered stylish.

We need to tell you seven MORE things about us, and we had a boatload of questions on Sunday concerning Valerian root.  Don't worry, we haven't forgotten your earlier questions...but The Root is so dang good we decided we needed to address it first!

1.  Valerian does have a stinky feets smell, but it's not so repulsive that your Humans are gonna gag or run screaming from the room (darn!) in disgust.  It's easier to clean up than eleventy-seven zillion Nip flakes, too.

2.  Rupert is NOT the only Rootaholic here.  We are all susceptible to it's charms, even those of us who are sorta "meh" about Nip!

3.Mommy ordered our Valerian from Amazon at THIS website; it's sort of pricey but a little goes a long way.  This is the best we've found...yet.

4.  Valerian initially makes us crazypants for just a few minutes, then we get REALLY sleepy and crash out.  In fact, Maui gets a sniff when he's overly wound up to calm him down!

5.  We love BOTH the ESS and the Root!  We can't choose which is our favorite.

6.  Rupert is adamant he does NOT need an intervention!

7.  And one fact about Mommy and HER particular vice:  she prefers cheap wine and expensive gin.  Go figure!

::wink wink::

Now, we know that this award has been making the rounds, so we won't pass it on except to say take it if you would like to!

Happy Tuesday!
