Spa has a Diary today( Winston went to Rainbow Bridge)

Winston has left us and Spa's page has his story and Spa's diary has a few words about his friend.

A Sad Week;

Girl Human has been coming home to a sad thing each day. Winston, the stray who comes to visit has decided he needs to come here to die at the Junction. His story is on Spa's page. He has grown so weak and is eating very little and is so thin. The vet said that since is not our cat he can't help him leave for Rainbow Bridge. The law prevents him from helping him. He could be sued by the real owner. He does not seem to feel any pain. He has to be old. We have known him off and on for 7 years. He was full grown when we met him. He is very weak and getting weaker every day. He will be leaving us soon. He has stopped drinking water and only eats a teaspoon of food now and then.Will update as news arrives.

Hot Sunday;

95 degrees today, humid, blue skies. Lazy day. Humans left us alone. Yesterday was flea bomb day so we could not go in our houses all day.

Today Male Human watched that loud noisy thing. Girl Human left in her little car. Got Grandma Human and took her for a ride. Washed Grandma Humans car in the car wash. She also took Grandma Human to look at a Townhouse that is for sale. It was very pretty. Had a beautiful view of the mountains.

Girl Human is worried about the cat, Winston( his stories on Spa's page) who is from across the road.
He is not well. He is very thin and very old. She does not think he will last until winter. She has been feeding him special food several times a day but he will not put on weight. He is very unsteady when he turns around or walks. He still jumps on up high tables. He does not run up every time someone comes out the door anymore. He just lays and watches to see if you have food.

He sleeps in the grass at the side yard. The neighbor thought he was dead, because he sleeps so sound. I think he is somewhat deaf. He spends his day at the Junction and never goes home. His owners don't seem to care. A neighbor said that he has been around for many years. This the first year he has not gone after the young ladies.

All we can do is pray for him and keep him fed. We wormed him, gave him flea drops and feed him when he is here. He is affraid to be picked up and does scratch and bite if we try.

Girl Human not happy

Today Girl Human's daughter came to town and off they went to another town. They went to get us goodies. We all love goodies. But Girl Human did not bring us anything and she will report why.

I am mad. We went to two pet stores. First was a Pet Supply Plus. The Plus was the dirt and poop. The poor animals and fish. It was awful, water so cloudy, rotting bodies. The Small animal cages were awful. If this would have been dogs, there would be complaints. But since its just poor fish, reptiles, and small animals the SPCA doesn't get involved. They are Blind. What gets me is that Pet Supplies Plus is a chain and how could anyone be proud that they are working for this company.

In the second place was a sign, under new management. The young man behind the counter, smiled and asked if we needed anything. He seemed nice. But the manager should be FIRED OR JAILED. The poor kitties. They advertise they are SPCA cats. I HOPE NOT. If they were, the SPCA should close them down and take their cats. They had a litter in the box that was a large pellet and they could not cover their poop. SMEEELLL.

There were people just opening cages pulling out cats and not one employee to be found. Kids were pulling at the kittens and fighting over who should hold it. I opened a lizard cage and picked it up. Not one person showed up. This was a$100.00 lizard.

There were people all over with things in their arms and asking each other to look for things they wanted. The employees were downstairs. One behind the counter three in a huddle talking. Maybe they were planning their escape. The lizard I was holding, for a good 5 min. looked good but was on the wrong litter. If he eats the litter he will get impacted and die. Were is the SPCA in this town? Hiding? This store has been under new management for at least 4 months and nothing is clean. The door into the store was so bad that we used hand sanitizer when we got back to the car.
The floor was so messy and my daughter slipped in a big puddle of water, that had been there for a LONG LONG while.

This place wants Business? When I got home I twittered my anger. That made me feel some better. I am sorry to vent on anyone who reads this, but I need to. My poor babies got nothing today. When I buy for my cats I spend money and I guess these places don't need it.

Back to Work

Girl Human is finally giving everyone a rest. This is so nice we can lay back undisturbed. No smoochy, smoochy, hug, hug while we are trying to get our beauty rest. THEY ARE GONE.... THIS IS GREAT.... PARTY TIME....

I had reported before that Sweeny has a guest book. We invite anyone to stop by and sign it. I found out it was not working. I think it is working now. So please try again. Sweeny is waiting to see his visitors.

I have music on some of the pages now. BOY I'm big time now. What a Smart Cat I am. These little paws are going places.

A lot of new photos were added last week so if you missed them, you know your welcome to check all of us out.

Well Girl Humans off for three days ALREADY. NO REST AGAIN. Her she comes SMOOOOOCH, SMOOOOCH. Why were we born so cute. RUN EVERYONE RUN AND HIDE---SHE'S BAAAAAACK. PARTIES OVER.

The Test.

Girl Human took a test for me the other night to see The celebrity that I would match best to and it was of no surprise to anyone it was Oprah. We both like to get to the bottom of things and find out the true facts. It was Right On the mark, said Girl Human.

Girl Human has been busy getting ready for her return to work. After 5 weeks off it will be hard. We will all miss having her here. Now it will be Male Human feeding us in the evening. We get such a big dishes of food when Girl Human feeds us.

Girl Human washed the cars today, cleaned our houses and back porch. She says she is going to work to get a rest. A lot of things got cleaned while she was off. We will have to start working. Our hairs have to be put back in the right places again.

Sweeny has a guest book. Stop by and sign it when you can. Music has also been added to some of our pages. Girl Human got our pages pretty before she returns to work.

She put a page of pictures of a few of our Angels. They have gone to Rainbow Bridge several years ago. Titled Calico Junction's R.I.P.'s, Stop by and visit. We were so pleased to have known them and would like you to meet them.

Well good night to all our friends. From all of us at Calico Junction.

The Grape Hunt

Girl Human moved all the furniture today and cleaned. All the hair and litter we had worked so hard putting in the proper places was gone.

It all started last night when Girl Human dropped a grape on the floor. Male Human got the flashlight and looked for it. We all helped, but they didn't like us trying to find it. Girl Human went nuts when she saw the floor full of hair and litter. They never did fine the grape.

The first thing this morning we were told to leave. She wanted to do her work alone. We kept checking to make sure that she got everything cleaned.

She got out this stuff that smelled like Ucckkkk. When she was half done with the final mopping , Sophia arrived. She decided to stick her toy in the water dish and make it swim. Her foot was all wet so she shook it. She then decided to walk all over floor. I thought that the foot prints had added such a nice touch. Girl Human didn't like it, she ran around wiping all the beautiful foot prints away. Humans sure have strange ideas, when it comes to decorating.

We have decided that tonight we will start putting on our finishing touches. Girl Human can wake up to a big supriiiizzze. We can't wait.

The Club Party

Well we all jumped on the bus. We left Calico Junction for the first time in a long while. Icky ll was our driver. Sure we go to the Vet, but that is not a fun trip.
We all went to the Birthday and Gotcha Club Party. We all had a wonderful time. Blue stayed home to watch everything. He is not a party cat. I am was the over the top party cat. I love parties.
There were people there from all over. There was all kinds of food and drink and catnip. Amber was a little upset that there were no Aquariums to look at. I explained to her that this is a club house.There isn't a kitty there to watch it all the time.
Decker had a little litter box problem. We all told him to go to the box before he left, but like normal he forgot.
Sylvester had to tour the woods out back. He said the view was super. He was a little disappointed there were no moles to chase. I told him he needed better manners.
All in all we had a ball. If your not a member of The Birthday and Gotcha Club. Join up soon so you can come to the next party. Wow two parties this one month. Look forward to seeing everyone soon.

THE BIG TRIP

Girl Human called us and started walking . Of course we all got curious and followed along. She had that funny little silver thing in her hand. When she points it at us, it has lights that blink and birds that sing. What an odd thing. She gets a kick out of showing it to us. We always act like we have never seen it before. She always calls us good kitties, when she shows it to us.
She had us sit in the corn, sit on the rocks and she even showed it to Lucy. Lucy is so shy, but this time she looked at it and Girl Human was so happy. We like to show her the things we find in the field. She looked at all the things we had to show her. We stopped at the pond on the way back to say hello to the fish.
We had lots of fun. Girl Human says there are new pictures on a lot of our pages???? What ever that means. Maybe you Humans know what she is talking about. All in all, we had a nice start to a beautiful day.

Scarlet and the Shower

Scarlet loves her shower, but today was different. The Girl Human stepped in shutting the door. Scarlet was on the outside of the shower door, crying and crying. Girl Human opened the door and asked her in, shutting the door behind her. Scarlet began to panic and wanted out. Then she was all wet, soaked to the skin. Girl Human started rubbing her and it felt soooo good, Scarlet enjoyed it. Next Girl Human put on a special Kitty shampoo, she didn't mind at all. When all the funny cleaning was done she looked like a drowned rat. Poor thing.

That loud thing that Humans use on their hair, was now blowing on Scarlet's wet coat. She was not afraid. Any other cat would have yelled for help. Scarlet just made the best of it, sitting there enjoying the attention. She is very strange, for a cat.
The Girl Human left Scarlet in the bathroom and shut the door. None of us could go in, to check on her. We all sat outside the door and listened. All was quite. We all thought that, Girl Human had done something bad to Scarlet and did not want us to see.

Girl Human returned and still would not let any of us in. That loud thing turned on again. Still no sound from Scarlet. Girl Human came out and shut the door in our faces. Still no noise from inside the bathroom.

The Girl Human was on her computer not looking in on poor Scarlet. What is happening? All the sudden there is a noise on the other side of the door and who appears? Scarlet. You would swear she was smiling from ear to ear. She put her tail up high and confronted the Girl Human. Scarlet was laughing, off she went. Running all over the house, happy as could be. She rubbed the legs of the chairs. She looked at the Girl Human, laughing and put her head up high and ran again.

After her big morning she stretched out on the window seat in the sun. She was sound asleep , Girl Human swears she was still smiling. She had won, she showed Girl Human that you can't keep a super beauty like her, down.
