Catter Up!

Kitties!

Felix here.

Mommy's back east home team, The Chicago Cubs, are in hot contention to win the World Series.  This has provided some premium, extended lap time for all of us me.

She's pretty good about not getting overly excited or screamy during the games--always a plus.

And see those FUR-rows on my flank?

She pets me for (her) stress relief!

I hope the Cubs win a little more often than once every 108 years...this is great.

Happy Caturday!

Some Sad News

Kitties~

Sylvester here.

I have some sad and bad news; I have cancer.

Last week I went to the vet for a full blood work-up and x-rays because I haven't been my normal self for a little bit and I've lost weight.  My bloods are fine, however, it was the x-rays that revealed that my innards are all wonky with fluid and abnormalities.  The vet said I could have an ultrasound and/or exploratory surgery, but that it would only confirm what type of cancer I have--and at this point it looks fairly advanced.  Chemotherapy might be a last-ditch option, but since I detest (so much) being poked, prodded, or otherwise examined Mommy and Daddy have decided against it.  I am getting antibiotics which have helped me perk up a bit, and also prednolisone to reduce the angryness of my innards.  

So right now me and the Great Beyond are at a standoff--Mommy started a Good Day/Bad Day calendar and Daddy will keep a close eye on me too, to make sure I don't suffer.  I love and trust them implicitly, so I'm not worried about pain--I just wish I could stay longer so they don't hurt.  For now, I'm simply going to enjoy all the sunbeams, ham, and love I deserve.

I'll keep you all posted.

Love, and Happy Tuxie Tuesday~

Holiday Triage

Kitties!

Keanu here.

Please don't tell the Nevada Kats, but I slept with their Mommy!

She made me a really nice towel bed, on top of the regular bed.  (talk about swanky!)  

Now, do you see how my right cheek is all puffy?  Well, Nevada Mommy noticed that too while she was petting me.  Naturally she investigated, and I had an abscess...so she lanced it for me.  I was a Very Good Boy and didn't whimper, not one tiny bit!  

I felt eversomuch better with all that gunk out and settled right in for a good sleep.

zzzzZZZZZzzzzzzz.....

And it's a good thing I slept so well because the next day my employer Daddy Tommy boxed me up into a carrier and carted me off to the vet, where I got my cheek flushed out and an antibiotic shot.

And then it was back to work for me!

A Cottage Cat's duties are never done.

Happy Friday!

Curb Feelers

Kitties!

Sylvester here.

Mommy says she loves all my vibrissae, but she is especially fond of the the ones that sprout out of my cheeks.  She calls 'em Curb Feelers, like the whiskers people put on cars!

why do cars need whiskers?

I get lots of human cooties kisses on my curb feelers--I don't quite know what to think about that, so I usually yodel a little and act annoyed.  But secretly, I love it.

Happy Sunday!

TuxTwosday

Kitties!

Sylvester here.

Do you see the Look on my face?

I'm a teensy bit purrturbed.

Please ignore that *other* Tuxedo cat behind me...he isn't real.

Why?

Because Mommy chose to photograph me in this exact spot...and who wants to look at a faux feline when they can admire the real thing? 

*sheesh*

Happy Tuxday!

Whisker Mystery, Part Deux

Kitties!

Maui here.

Not that you can tell, but I *am* missing a whisker!

Yesterday's Mystery Whisker belonged to me...Mommy snagged it from out of my favorite nest, deep in the linen closet.  (Bottom shelf, all the way in the back, behind a nice fuzzy blanket on top of a cozy towel.  I set it up just for him, he loves to burrow.--ed)

I hope you enjoyed my little mystery!

Happy Thursday!

Maudlin Monday

Kitties!

Rupert here, in mourning.

Do you remember me telling you a few weeks back about my second white whisker project?

Well, disaster has struck!

Mommy was giving my Daily Love and Pettings (in the bathroom where they are always administered, like clockwork) when my curly white whisker fell OUT!  Just like that.  Mommy saw it all happen.  She saved the whisker, but what about my dignity?  How will that be repaired?

Woe is me!

I'm lop-sided now.

Back to the whisker drawing board...

Happy Monday!

EDIT:  We were just informed it's FRIDAY, not Caturday.

Phooey.

Lets's start early, shall we?

Kitties!

Rupert, a.k.a. Mommy's Handsome Man here.

I've been working on a new project, which Mommy has been trying to document for ages.

Naturally I do everything I can to foil her plans...but she's nothing if not PURRsistant and she finally captured it:

My matching set of One White Whiskers! (on each side)

For the longest time I only had a One White Whisker on my left-hand side, and a Funny Curly Gray Whisker opposite.  The Funny Curly one fell out around Catmas (Mommy found and saved it) so this time I decided to go all out and grow a Funny Curly WHITE Whisker as a replacement!

It's a work in progress, so far I've only got it about one-third of how long I plan to grow it...I figure a couple more months and it'll be done.

I'll keep you posted--if I decide to allow Mommy any more close ups!

Happy CaturGray!

Not Again...

Kitties!

Rupert's Toes here.

NEWS FLASH:  The Mommy has an Unhealthy Obsession with us. 

Every chance she gets she fiddles with and fondles us!

Pads, paws, claws, nothing is sacred.

Drives us bananas.

Rupert:  Tell me about it--Mommy is so toe-centric that she can't even focus on what's truly important; my handsome mug!

That's better.

Now, get busy and pet this end for once--I have a little itch right behind my ear.

Thank You.

Happy Caturday!

Hungover.

Kitties!

Sylerster here.  On the coffee table.

Did you know I am the LARGEST cat in the house?

That's right!

I weigh nineteen pounds (8.6 kgs) and according to the vet in my opinion it's all jello mighty mancat muscle.

The coffee table is too tiny to hold all of me, my loooooong sleek tail drapes down no matter how I situate myself.

And there's not enough space for my handsome chinny chin chin, either.

I'm feeling great these days...last week I got a B-A-T-H and I rather liked it!  Not the actual bathing part--although it wasn't that bad--but I have dry skin on my back and it was so nice to get all clean, all over, all at once.  My tuxedo is bright and shiny now; no flakes!  Daddy says since I was such an easy bather he'll "do" me a few times a year.

Hmmmmm, maybe I should have struggled a little bit more...

Happy Friday!

Mommy's Boy

Kitties!

Rupert here.

I'm pawticipating in The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfie Blog Hop because today (in the USA) is Mother's Day...and if there's one person I *love*Love*LOVE*, that's My Mommy!

I missed her something fierce when she went away.  Daddy is an adequate substitute for pettings and play, but come bedtime it's My Mommy I want.  Once she's in bed I sprawl out on her chesticles...and I know she loves me 'cos she doesn't grumble much while she holds her book (or magazine or tablet) straight up in the air so I can be cozy.  I get kisses and cuddles and we snuggle together all night long.

Mommy calls me her Most Handsome Gray Man in the House.

That's pretty special!

Happy Mother's Day to all the pet Moms out there!

 (and Dads--some pets don't have a Mommy)

Kitties!  

Rupert here.

This is my selfie for The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfie bloghop.

Mommy calls me her Handsome Gray Man--and she doesn't say that to any other kitty in the house--so I know I'm Special. 

Do you see my One White Whisker?  I started growing that this year to look older and more distinguished.  

Also to prevent any potentially cursed paintings in the attic*.

Happy Sunday!
