My Quest For Catnip!

What is this? Two posts in one day?!

But I had to do it! I had to thank everyone for the wonderful gifties, especially for the tulips because they were anonymous and I can't thank the kitty directly! I don't know how you knew tulips were my Meowmy's favorite flowers but they are! I think she's happier than I am! :)

Today has been such a lovely, happy day for me... thank you all for putting a smile on my Meowmy's face and giving me lots of extra reasons to purr!

Blush blush!

Well, I can't really blush, but I would be if I could! I was so excited when Meowmy told me the news this morning... I'm so happy! She didn't tell me I'd get extra treats tonight when she gets home from work, but I betcha I will!

I'm just so bouncy that people actually enjoy reading about my catnip adventures... I feel so inspired! I shall be the next Claws Dickens! If I were a boy. And old. And wrote about depressing things.

Anyway, thank you very much for the honor and all the happy snuggles I've gotten! I love my Catster family! (Almost as much as I love catnip...)

So, every once in a while, meowmy puts me in a carrier and takes me to this white building where strangers poke and prod me for a while, and sometimes stick me with things.

OK, so I'm probably overstating it a little... The carrier is cozy and soft, the strangers are actually pretty nice, petting and cooing at me, and meowmy is right there scratching me. And the poking and prodding is more of a rub and peek into my ears and eyes and mouth. The sticking part still isn't my favorite, but even that isn't horrible--though I hear I have small veins. What does that mean?

The funniest part of the process is that meowmy thinks she's tricking me. Haha! The carrier only comes out for a certain reason, and then she puts it in the bathroom, acting as if I don't even notice! Then she all casually picks me up like I don't KNOW what's going on! But after all this time I don't fight with her too much getting in the thing. She's very determined, and it makes her upset when I give her a hard time, and really, the sooner I get in the thing, the sooner I'm out!

Meowmy was laughing about how still I was for the strangers while they clipped my nails, since I'm so squirmy with her, and the strangers said it was because I was so scared. They said I have sweaty paws. Sweaty paws! How rude...

Anyway, clean bill of health for me! They did talk about my teeth a little and said I had some mild tartar. They want to check it out again in six months to see if I need a cleaning but I'll show them... my teeth will be so clean they'll wonder where I got a toothbrush! Hopefully...

My rabies shot made me a little bit sleepy so I'm heading off to curl up on meowmy. (A clever ploy to get some tummy rubs, but don't tell her that!)
