A day in the life of a troublemaker

Gotcha day thank you!

Hi everyone! I am 2 and this is my second gotcha day celebration! Two years ago I got gotted. I'm so happy mom took me into her home, and I know she is too. And also very happy to be living here with Moppie (but we'll celebrate that on his gotcha day).

Mom's been very busy lately with work. So we apologize for not being on. We appologize for birthdays and gotcha days of others that we've missed. We were there in spirit, we love all of you!

Moppie and I are doing well. Our bunny on the other hand has been going through a rough time. We just recently found out she has bad arthritis. She was good at hiding it for a while but now, maybe due to landing wrong or something she is having trouble getting around. Both bunnies in our house are 9 years old. Anyways, she is on pain meds and we are hoping very much that she can get around a bit better again.

Stewie the dog is also doing really well. Mom recently taught him to play dead :)

Anyways, that you to all for the gotcha day messages and gifties

Thanks Jezebel and charlie for the message
Thank you owl for the tulips!
And thank you to the Canadian kitties group also for the other bunch of tulips
Thank you Luke for the burdie, mom put it outside the window for us to watch.
Thank you Rex and family for the lady bug
Ingen and novi, thank you for the gotcha day ribbon!
Thank you Mallee, Milo, Sam and family. (Btw Mallee, Moppie sends you a big hug. He misses you!)
Thank you midnight and family for the gotcha day ribbon
And last but not least thank you to my buddy Zach and family for the mousy, and remembering the day I was welcomed into my forever home! We were blessed to have awesome friends here. (And we still are!)

We are so happy to have such great friends here on catster. We hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

I'm learning a new language

Mom woke up this morning and heard me practicing my new language. Mom said she thought she heard a bird, she rolled over to see because it sounded like it was in the room. What she saw was me lookin out the window talkin to the birdies. I must be pretty good already cause mom was shocked, she really thought it was a bird!

"Chirp, chirp chirp"

I was really interested in the birdies this morning. Ever time I heard a crow I ran to the window.

Side note:
Mom has decided to start trying to brush our teeth. As a vet assistant she says she should really be setting up an example. At first when she brought out the brush with the minty toothpaste I smelt it and got far away cause it was scary! So she tried to brush my teeth which isn't my favourite but after I've escaped I went back to see again. Mom laughed cause I kept coming back and she kept brushing my teeth. She says she can't do it thoughroughly but better then she thought she could. Moppie was a little harder but Mom says its workable. Moms planning on getting one of the tooth pastes that can be licked around and will still clean even if she doesn't get to all the teeth.

Anyways, this is Moms saying this. She says if you've never tried to brush your cats teeth and your scared, it doesn't hurt to try!! They may surprise you, it won't be the same as brushing dogs teeth though. Be patient! mom will give updates if it gets easier or if she gives up, Mol. Just remember never to use human tooth paste, and some dog toothpastes may not be good to use either.

Sorry in advance!!

Chirp!

***********
Oops forgot!
Also the other night Mom noticed we turned the radio on, she was gonna leave it and turn it off when she was gonna go to bed. When she was in bed she realized that the radio was off!! Her mind was blown. We turned the radio on and off!! MOL.

Moppie's licking all my toys!!

Moppie is taking all my toys and licking them and making them look nasty. They are never the same after he is done with them. mom recently got one of those feather sticks to go in the middle of our turbo scratcher. He licked it and it now looks dead and lifeless. So sad...

We're starting to look forward to spring. We didn't get a lot of winter here this year, it actually looks like everyone else is getting all the weather right now. We are getting a lot of rain but there is nothing new with that, after all we are the rainiest city in Canada.

Moms job search has indeed been very complicated. She now has a job at a regular clinic. Unfortunately there is no clinic cats at this clinic so if there are interesting stories them we'll Just have to share them. Mom will be starting full time in march so she is going to be very busy and away from home quite a bit.

During Mom's time off between jobs Mom has had some time to pick up her hobby of drawing. after doing a few drawings she decided to try expand to painting. I posted the picture she painted of me, Mom also drew a picture of Mallee for Moppie to give her a gift for valentines day. It s at the end of Moppie's pictures, may be a little harder to find.

I'm looking forward to mom having money again to spend on us! I want a new bag of treats! Hehehe.

Purrs,
