Shut up... I like being bald >:(

YUCK!! I had to go to the V-E-T yesterday. Meowmy told him what happene, he checked me out, and put the thermomiter where the sun don't shine (Come on, Man! We just met!!). He said that something I ate outside didn't agree with my stomach too well at all, nothing serious. He also noticed that I have an almost bald spot between my legs from grooming too much. What a price for being wanting to be beautiful. It should grow back normalley, though. He told her to distract me when she sees me grooming myself in that area. Well, I won't let her!!!

:P Im sick

Yuppers, Im having one of my sick days, and this is the worst. I slept all day yesterday and the day before, and then today I threw up twice then had diarhhea. Then I went to one spot on the couch and just slept. Slept. Slept. I haven't really moved at all, but I manage to move my toes to type this on the laptop. Im breathing real slow, and almost look like Im panting a little. Im super hungry, but I cant get up to eat beacuase my arthrites is acting up. Im old, so maybe its just my time to go. This page will be updated a few times.

~***UPDATE***~: Im feeling a little better, I can sit up but only to move one way or another but not out of that spot. Im leaning my head up against the pillow as I write this, and must go back to sleep.

~***UPDATE***~: I think Im feeling a lot better. I can almost stand up all the way. I even managed to stand up to groom myself. Im still sleeping a lot, but I look more alert, and my eyes look better. ZZZzzz...

CAT FACTS
*If you have to break up a cat fight use a broom to separate them.

*Most lively, active kittens grow up to be friendly, outgoing cats.
*One female cat can give birth to as many as 420 kittens in her lifetime, amd each of those kittens can do the same after reaching maturity.
*Cats sometimes have a hard time accepting a new cat because cats don't usually crave companionship in quite the same way a dog does.
*Never let your cat use an old chair for scrathcing. Cats don't know the difference between old and new. Fabric-covered scratching posts even confuse some cats.

*Cats don't scratch furniture to get attention, they scratch to groom their claws.

Update on Tia and Beamy

Celestia and MoonBeam, Tia and Beamy as i like to call them, took their deaf test today. Thats when a vet visits and tests if they are deaf or not. The test goes like this: The vet some how manages to get behind the kittens one at a time. [S]he has to make sure there are no noises in the room. Then CLAP! She or he CLAPS their hands as loudly as they can. If the kitten turns to look, then they are normal. If they dont, then the vet will reapeat the process a few more times. If the kits dont turn around by the 3rd time, they are deaf. Tia and Beamy are both deaf. Though they lead happy lives!
Purrs

OH NO!

AHHHHH!!! S-Spyro, h-h-he's GONE! He ran AWAY! I, I guess he ran away because he and Stella were hissing and batting at eachother last night. Oh, dear! How will I tell Bobbie Sue, his girlfriend! Well, where ever he is, I hope hes okay...

Washing your cat!

I found this silly joke while i was surfing the web!

Some people have the misconception that cats never have to be bathed. That somehow they "lick" themselves clean. Well contrary to this popular belief, cats do NOT have some enzyme in their saliva that resembles Tide (with or without bleach).

Cats, like their nemesis, the dog, do get dirty and have a variety of odors, from smelling like the outhouse where you camped last year to the same odor as your dog's breath. (Remember, your dog will try to eat anything.) Now we all know that cats HATE water. And we know that giving the cat a sedative to ease this process of a bath is out of the question.

So, the best approach is both sneaky and direct. Remember now, this is not the dumb dog who can be led to tub with lies and a trail of Kibbles and Bits.

Although your cat has the advantage of smarts, quickness and total lack of concern for you, you have the advantage of size, strength, and the ability to wear protective garments.

1. First, dress for the occasion. A 4-ply rubber wet suit is suggested, along with a helmet, face mask and welders gloves.

2. A Bathtub with a glass enclosure is preferred to the one with a shower curtain. A frenzied cat can shred one of these in about 3.5 seconds.

3. Have the Kitty Bubbles and towel in the enclosed bathtub area before hand. No, blow drying the cat after the bath is not suggested.

4. Draw the water, making it a little warmer than needed as you still need to find the cat. Position everything strategically in the shower, so you can reach it even if you are face down or prone in the tub.

5. Find your cat. Use the element of surprise. Pick the cat up, nonchalantly as if you were simply carrying him/her to the supper dish. No need to worry about the cat noticing your strange attire, the cat barely notices you anyway.

6. Once you and the cat are inside the bathroom, speed is essential. In one single liquid motion, shut the door to the bathroom, step into the shower, close the sliding doors, and drop the cat into the water. While the cat is still in a state of shock, locate the Kitty Bubbles and squirt whatever part of him is above the water line. You have just begun the wildest 45 seconds of your life. Remember that cats have no handles and add the fact that he now has soapy fur. His state of shock has worn off and he's madder than a wet hornet.

7. As best, you can, wearing welder's gloves, try to field his body as he catapults through the air toward the ceiling. If possible, give another squirt of Kitty Bubbles with his body now fully exposed.

8. During the 5 seconds you are able to hold onto him, rub vigorously. No need to worry about rinsing. As he slide down the glass enclosure into the tub, he will fall back into the water, rinsing himself in the process.

9. Only attempt the lather and rinse process about 3 times. The cat will realize the lack of traction on the glass by then and will use the next attempt on the first available part of you.

10. Next, the cat must be dried. No, this is NOT the easiest part. By this stage, you are worn out and the cat has just become semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. We suggest here that you drain the tub and in full view of your cat. reach for the bottle of Kitty Bubbles.

11. If you have done step 10 correctly, the cat will be off your leg and hanging precariously from your helmet. Although this view of the cat is most disgusting, he will be in a much better position for wrapping the towel around him.

12. Be sure cat is firmly wrapped in towel before opening tub enclosure. Open bathroom door, put towel wrapped cat on floor and step back quickly, into tub, if possible, Do not open enclosure until all you can see is the shredded towel.

13. In about 2 hours it will be safe to exit the bathroom. Your cat will be sitting out there somewhere looking like a small hedgehog while plotting revenge.

Hee Hee! Isn't it funny! My owner would be lying on the floor, gasping for breath by step 5, though ;)
