Terrific Tuesday!

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!!! I got the BESTEST TOY EVAR!!!!!


My beautiful sweet wonderfulest girlfriendcat, KC sent me a present! A WHIRLYBIRD!!!!


I can catch it in the air!


I can catch it on a fish!


I give it laser stares!


And whap it with a swish!


I pounce it on a snake!


And claw it in a hug!


If my bird you try to take


I'll whap it to the rug!


And KC got me this really nice fishie charm! My OTW put it on a chain with my Viking Navigation Stone, that KC gave me, and I'm gonna hang it by my keychain charm with KC's picture, beside my favourite basket!

THANK YOU, KC!!!!! PURRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

~Jack


I got a charm too! It's a little fishie! Mommy's putting mine on a chain with my other charm from KC and her family, and Whisper's too, which Mommy said I could have to remember him by. I'll have the prettiest necklace for parties!

(Mommy says sorry it isn't a better picture, but she forgot to take a better one before Daddy went to bed, and since her computer says the camera doesn't exist she can only get the pictures when Daddy's awake to put them on his computer so she can get them off the network)


Jack let me play with the Whirlybird too! Eventually.




Go away Jack! It's MY turn!!!

Thank you, KC and family!!!

~Persephone!

Ed. from OTW.

GRRRRR. They will NOT leave that darn toy ALONE!!! Mow mow mow, play birdie with us, play birdie with us, all day long!

I love my cats. Really.

Did I mention I love them?

Thank you, ML! They LOVE this thing! It's apparently the BEST CAT TOY EVAR!!!! Jack's already half destroyed the first bird! It took three days before he'd even let Persephone have a chance at it, and he's usually the first to back off a toy and let her play! :)

Wordless Wednesday

Christmas Presents at LAST!

Mommy FINALLY uploaded our Christmas pictures! She SAYS it's because her computer got sick and keeps trying to eat itself, and doesn't recognize any of it's friends that she plugs into it. But I watch it carefully, and I haven't seen to try to bite anything!


Lookit our tree! I was SOOOO good, I didn't try to eat it or climb it or steal any of the hanging toys, not even the birdies!

Jack and me had so much stuff, Mommy and Daddy's presents couldn't even fit! They were over on the table beside Mommy when she took the picture. (PS. Samantha and Tigger and Poppy and Batman, we got your cards too, Daddy just couldn't go to the post office for a couple days before Christmas, so he brought them home a few days after.  They're up now too)


See, there's my stocking, and Jack's too, and presents from Mommy and Daddy (who didn't even WRAP his!), and Santa!


My stocking smelled so good I tried to crawl inside it!


Lookit all this! I got furry nip mice-yies, and stuffed nip mice-yies, and a jingly ball, and treats, and Mommy made me a nip peer-a-med that she tucked into my stocking after Santa came, and Daddy made me a cardboard ball, but you can't see it in this picture, but you can see it in Jack's!


He got a cardboard ball from Daddy too, and Mommy made him a fev-verbutt Jack cubecat with a jingly ball inside, and Mommy said she was sorry she didn't think to make my nip peer-a-med a nip Persephone peer-a-med, but she'll make me a Persephone toy for my birthday instead, and Jack got a fev-verbutt mousie, and a stuffed mousie with many tails and a jingly ball and paper strips and treats and something Mommy says looks like a brown shmoo on a pullstring!


What's this?  From Santa?  I sniffed it over good to make sure it didn't smell like vishus deers and it didn't, it smelled like kitty-elves and catnip, so I opened it. Guess what it was!


A Giant Crinkly Fish Sack! Jack got one too, and mine was brown and his was red, our favourites and Mommy said it was lucky the Wal-mart elves made them in our two favourite colours 'cause they only made them in two colours. I hope all the other kitties who got Giant Crinkly Fish Sacks like brown and red too then!


And then I opened the present Mommy gave me and it was a Dead Tie Snake! And it's crinkly too and musta ate a lotta catnip before it died, 'cause it smells like NIP!


MEEEEEEP!! Help! Help, Mommy! It's got me!!!!!


Mommy gave Jack a big red bunny-kicker with guts hanging from it, but mostly he's just kicked my Dead Tie Snake! He should play with his OWN toys!!!


Daddy made us a Whack-A-Mousie game! Jack loved it!


Me, I'm not so sure. I'm confused. Where does the mousie go????


HA! Gotcha mousie!!!! Nomnomnom!!!

Jack says THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! to everycat that came by to give him purrs when he was sick. We tried visit everycat and thank them personally, but since the computer got sick, Mommy has been spending all her spare time trying to sort and rescue all her research and pictures and papers and writing and everything, so Daddy can erase the computer's brains and rebuild them, since she was apparently a Bad Mommy and Santa didn't bring her a new computer, after Daddy gave all her new-computer moneys to Dr Tara 'cause Mommy LEFT us and Jack got stressed and got sick.

Mommy says at least it's a good thing Santa brought her Baileys and Daddy's co-worker bought her scotch and Daddy got her vanilla vodka and Creme de Cacao, 'cause otherwise she might think it was a good idea to fix the computer with a big rock!

Mommy made Daddy some things too, and they're over on her blog if you want to see them too!

Jack's feeling better...but really grumpy

Well, this is just great. I'm eating kibbles again. I'm drinking. I'm peeing. I'm PLAYING! Right in FRONT of her! I'm feeling better, and she STILL took me to the V-E-T!

They stole my bloods. They stole my pees. They stuck things WHERE THEY DON'T BELONG!

And then they gave me a bad furcut!


Now I'm going to look all dorky in my Christmas photos, while I open all the presents my OTW had BETTER BE GIVING ME!!!!


I mean, LOOK at this!!!!


Maybe I can hide it by wearing this lei.

In good news...I'm feeling better! Wow, catblogosphere purrs work FAST! A few hours after Persephone posted asking for purrs I got up and ate some more gooshy foods, and then some kibbles, then hopped up on the desk for some lovins, and then I saw Scissors and decided to invite him to play, and we played Whack-A-Rat under the footstool for a while. And later I peed.

And this morning when my OTW got up I hopped up on the counter while she combed her headfurs, and demanded she do me next, and after her shower, I drank water from the bathtub edge.

And then she scooped me up and shoved me in a PTU and took me out in the COLD anyway! Seriously! It was FREEZING OUT THERE, WOMAN!!!! The car said it was -24!!! (that's -11 to you Americats). I nearly froze my tail off in the squillion miles walk to the car!

And what did Dr Tara say? That I'm FINE! She can't find anything wrong with me physically. That's what I said to my OTW! And I didn't need to steal my bloods and my pees and stick things WHERE THEY DON'T BELONG, and give myself a bad furcut, to say it!

My OTW and Dr Tara think maybe it was just the infection after all, and I was just feeling a little under the weather as it cleared up, since she didn't find any evidence of a full bladder or blockage or fever or anything.

Dr Tara sent my bloods and pees away to a lab, who I guess will sniff it over, though what a D-O-G would know about it, I don't know. But it'll be sniffing it until Saturday, when Dr Tara will call and let my OTW know what it found.


I'm going to hide here under the chair.

Don't look at me, OTW. And stop taking my picture, I look stupid.

My Gotcha-versary

Sunday was my 2nd Gotcha-versary!!! Mommy didn't forget it, she's just been busy with a super-secret-special project, but I got lots of extra pets and scritches and treats!

I didn't get any presents, 'cause mommy says Christmas is soon, and I get presents on Christmas and my birthday same as Jack, who doesn't have a gotcha-versary, 'cause he was borned under mommy's couch and grew up in her closet and he always had her.


I did get some new friends a couple weeks ago, though! Meet Rock, Paper and Scissors, sitting with Lily for a group photo!


Rock, Paper and Scissors are FUN! Here I am playing Whack-a-Rat with Paper!


And here's Scissors and me going for a 'walk'!


What mommy? What is Rock doing down here on the chair with me? Nothing! We're just having a 'chat'!

Mommy says Rock Paper and Scissors came from Eye-Key-Ahhhh. She thinks other cats might really like some of their brothers and sisters, and the Gotcha-fees are almost no moneys at all! I guess they REALLY want to find homes for all the little ratties!


But there's some bad news. I'm hoping you all can spare a few purrs for my brother Jack. He's not feeling very well, and mommy's taking him back to the V-E-T tomorrow.

He was doing better after the yucky pills, but it looks like the infection might not have been gone, just hiding. All he wants to do is nap ALL the time, and he won't eat his kibbles, or drink much water or pee much. Mommy's giving us extra gooshy foods and extra water in it for him and he'll eat that, at least. Mommy says he might have a stone in his tummy, but I don't think so. Jack is very smart and wouldn't eat rocks.

He's feeling a little better right now and playing with Scissors a bit, and ate a few kibbles, but mommy's gonna take him to Dr Tara anyway.

Prizes!!!!

Lookit!!! We got PRIZES!!!!


I think this is the one with the nip!!!


YUM!!!! Treats! Even Jack likes them and they're FISHES flavoured!!!


Uh oh! That nip toy is up to no goods!!!!


GOTCHA!!!! Attack MY mommy, will you?!?!? I'll show you!


I like this blanket, too! (It smells a bit like nip!)


It's very comfy!


I mean REALLY comfy!


Jack likes it too!


But Jack really likes the toy thing!


Especially the FEV-VERS!!!


I don't think they're going to last long.....

We won these in the Halloween Floof Costume Contest! Thank you Stryder, Scotchy and Sugar and your Meowmy!


PS. from Jack:
I took my last pill yesterday. I was mostly good, 'cause actually, all the attention was great, and I've even got her running to pay attention to me at the least little mow, but I was getting a bit uncomfortable and kinda thirsty. I DID spit out the pills as many times as I could when she gave them to me, but that's just the principle of the thing, really. I threw them up twice, too, but that wasn't such a bad thing, 'cause once that hairball that's been bothering me for a while came out too! So I guess it was ok.

But I'm NEVER TAKING THOSE PILLS AGAIN!!! They upset my tummy.

PPS. KC I would love it if you came over and snuggled. I think I'm feeling weak and...stuff, again. PURRRRRRRRRRRR!

PPPS from the OTW:
He's peeing again, not quite as much as usual. I'm going to give him the weekend to let his tummy settle and see if he gets better. If not, I may talk to them about testing again or trying something different, in case it's a stone. He had a small one a few years ago, and the first test came back the same as this time; infection, no crystals.

Also, he was taking Zeniquin, which he's never had before, and it really did seem to upset his stomach a bit. He NEVER throws up, even hairballs. Every time I gave them to him, he'd start getting restless about half an hour after he took it, and not be able to settle for long for hours after. And was actually cranky about TUMMYRUBS!!!!! Anyone else have this trouble with this stuff, that they know of? I'm going to talk to the vet techs on Monday about it so I have a note on his file not to give it to him again, but I'm curious about other cat's experience.
