Kittens, vet, and house full of dogs!!

Much has happened since my last entry, suprisingly. I was taken to the vet, along with the new kittens, for shots and stuff. Come to find out, the guy at the shelter told us wrong. Both kittens are boys! But they are leaving the names the same, cause they still work. I'm still not happy about them being here, so I refuse to go upstairs if I see one of them in the kitchen.

I am SO not pleased....

On another scary note, the house was full of people and DOGS! Mommy gave Sassy a big birthday on Saturday the 13th because she was turning 15. I hid on top of the china cabinet downstairs to avoid them all day. Mommy took lots of pics and even a video of the party too, that you can find at my regular blog at blogger.com. Dogs, from big to little, in party hats even!

That's all for now.

New Kittens!!

Two new kittens were brought home today!! I mean, one is bad enough, but TWO!? It's a set of twins, a brother and sister, with white fur and blue eyes. Snowball is the male, Snowflake is the female. Mommy spent the rest of the afternoon upstairs playing with them. I'm just glad that they will be living upstairs, not downstairs with me and Mommy. Since they belong Mommy's parents, they will technically be my aunt and uncle. I do not like this. The dog seems happy to see them, but I'm upset. I liked being the only kitty in the house. Why did they have to bring more? Everyone is aweing over how cute they are. What about how cute I am? I AM NOT HAPPY. Now I wont be able to go upstairs and cuddle when Mommy's not home. I'll have to share the bed with kittens. I'm just SO upset. I'm going to go lay on my cat tree and brood about this.....

Horray!!

Horray!! Mommy got home from her trip to her doctors! They are very happy, and said that her Cystic Fibrosis is doing MUCH better now! We are all very excited. I have snuggled with her a lot since she's been home to let her know how happy I am to have her back and healthy again. I snuggled on the pillow with her today and purred for her while she petted me. I miss my Mommy when she goes away on her trips. I go potty outside the litter box when she gets home to show her how upset I am that she has to leave. But once she's gotten the message that I missed her, I go and snuggle up to her again. The dog annoys me at night though, because she has to go potty ALL THE TIME at night. She's just so old her bladder isn't very good anymore. So she wakes Mommy up off and on all night to go outside for potty breaks, which makes me mad because it interferes with my snuggling. That's all for now, just wanted to share the good news!!

New Collar!!

Mommy bought me a new collar today! She got it for me as an early birthday present since she wont be home on my birthday. It's bright hot pink with a pinkish/purpleish bell on it. It's nice to have a new one, my old was was getting really worn out. *purrs*

Updates

Well, it's almost my birthday again! Unfortunately, Mommy wont be home on my birthday this year because she has to be in Chapel Hill for her doctors' appointments. So to make up for it she says she'll spoil me earlier that week to make up for it. She's throwing the dog a huge party at the park next month sine she'll be 15. Where's MY big party? I guess I'll have to wait until I turn 15 too for that. The rest of the family (meaning everyone except me, Dog, and Mom) have started the work season back! That means no more early morning attention and playing upstairs while Mommy sleeps! I have to wait until she gets out of bed for my pettings now.... because she's the only one home. At least I still get my afternoon treat when they all get home. Mommy's back has been acting up for weeks now, so some days she can't even bend down to pet me! I meow and meow at her, but all she can do is stand there and talk to me. I have to jump up in a chair or on a bed for her to be able to reach me for my pettings. She sees a doctor about it soon though, so hopefully she will be back to laying with me in the floor to play with my string soon! They decided to wait on getting a new kitten, with the work season starting back. So I still get to have the entire house to myself for now!

That's about all I have for now...

Updates, updates...

Well, it's been ages since my last update! I am very please (with much purring) to report that my diet has been switched from the crunchy dry food, to soft, moist, wet canned food! My favorite are cans of Fancy Feast Elegant Medly's with garden greens. Since I've been eating food with greens, they say they have noticed that I'm more energetic, talkative, and healthier than I was on the other food. I'm just happy with the flavors! My treats were switched to The Good Life treats for indoor cats, which also contains garden greens. Yummy! I'm very excited about the switch in food. It costs them more money than the dry food did, but since the vet recommended it, they still switched it for me. The vet says he was at a seminar where they said that cats' teeth are made for tearing, not for crunching. We don't have the same flat grinding teeth that humans do, so we aren't designed to eat just dry food. I don't care why, I'm just glad I get wet food now!

Also, Mommy is sick again. She got really sick so they took her away to the hospital for a few days. She's back home now, but she is still on I.V. medicine. Most days she lays in bed until the afternoon, which is fine by me because I can get my cuddle time in. She still pets me and scratches my back when I lay with her, but she's not had the energy to play much. I try to get her to play, but she can't for very long. The dog tries to get her to play too, but she doesn't, so at least I know it's not just me. Mommy just gets tired easy right now. She always does when she's on I.V. It happens about once a year because of her Cystic Fibrosis. But she says my purring makes her feel better, so I try to purr lots for her when she pets me. She wants to give me a bath she says, but she can't until she's done with her I.V.'s. I HATE baths! But Mommy's is actually allergic to cats, so she makes me take them so that I can cuddle with her. She also has to get allergy shots every week, but she says she does it because she loves me. Her doctors don't like me, but Mommy told them she would never get rid of me. I'm so loved. With me around I can't imagine why she keeps the dog. The dog keeps trying to lick me in the face when she see's me.... ick! So I put her in her place by whacking her in the nose. Mommy gets mad at me for hitting the dog, but that's what she gets for drooling on me! That's all the updates to report for now.

P.S. - There is also talk of getting a new kitten. I am not pleased with this. We'll see how things go in the near future....

Random update

Not much new to report. Mom was playing with the camera so I uploaded a new pic! It's just a pic of me laying on the cat-tree. There's a pic of the huge structure on my regular blog. Enjoy!

My Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Today I turn 6! To give me some peace to nap and relax for my birthday, Mom gave me some catnip then took the dogs out to the dog park so I could enjoy having the house to myself. It's been a long year for me.... moving away from the man we lived with and back in with Mom's family, Lil Bear becoming sick and never coming home from the hospital, Mom's friend Lacy and her dog Heidi moving in..... it's been eventful to say the least. I miss Bear still. It's not quite the same being the only cat in the house. I do enjoy having all of the attention though. The new dog Heidi is tolerable at least. Lacy isn't here a lot, she's stick and goes to the hospital all the time so Heidi sleeps with Uncle Carl in his room where Aunt Lacy stays when she's here.
Oh, Mom bought me 2 new toys for my birthday! I got a ball with a small fish and water in it first. I'm not too sure about it yet. Mom hopes I'll play with it later. She also got me my favorite, a feather stick! We played with it for a while. We'll play more when the rest of the family gets home from work. Mom even bought me a some canned food for my special birthday dinner! I can't wait to have it. I want it now, but she's making me wait until around 6 when I usually eat. Mom never lets me eat early. But since she's been making me eat on a strict schedule I have lost some of my tummy. It doesn't hang as low as it used to. And I still get lots of 'nip and treats. Oh, i've also added a few pics that Mom took today. That's all for today!

Catnip wishes to all!

Freedom! Or so I thought....

Well, on Wednesday of this week, I managed to escape into the outdoors! Mommy and the rest of the family still aren't sure how, and I'm not telling. Even though I get to go outside on the back porch to lay in the, it's still not the same as being able to romp in the grass, which is what I've been wanting. I've managed a few times before to make it out the front door to dive in the flower bed, but Mom always catches me and shoos me back into the garage. But this time I made it! The only problem is, it's not summer anymore. It was cold! I was out there for quite some time before they came to find me. Since I hide a lot anyway it took them a lil while to notice that I was gone. They were giving out treats and I never showed. They KNOW I don't miss my treat time! They notified Mom and once they realized I wasn't in the house Mom came outside to fine me. I didn't go too far. It was way to cold to be exploring, and it turned out to be scarier than I thought. I made it to the back yard and managed to hide underneath one of the storage sheds. I stayed there for a while, not sure exactly how long since I was scared I lost track of the time. Then I heard Mom's voice calling for me. She heard my collar jingle from all the things she hangs on it so was able to find where I was. But I was still to scared to come out. Mommy was so worried I could tell she was trying not to cry when she finally realized that I was still in the yard and not hurt. She worries. A lot. Papa shined the flashlight in my eyes and called for me too. They were crazy if they thought I was coming out. Papa went around to the side I was hiding by and made noises and banged on the walls and floor of the shed to try to scare me out. I finally got tired of the annoying sounds and ran out.... to under the other shed. After a moment I realized I didn't like it under there and opted for under the porch. I just wanted to hide. I didn't want them picking me up. So Granny blocked one of the exits while Mom crawled under the steps and through a hole in the lattice work to get to me. She must have really wanted me to come back in the house really bad. I tried, but she still caught me. She handed me up through the hole under the steps to Papa who took me in the house. My nerves were shot at this point, but it was good to be warm again. They gave me lots of treats to make up for it though! IT was fun, but I'm not sure if I want to try it again anytime soon.

Also, we seem to be moving downstairs with Uncle Carl and cousin Jason. I'd rather stay upstairs with Granny and Papa, but Mom is insistent. They have all been working (very loudly, I might add)on building another room down there for us so that Mom doesn't have to sleep in Papa and Granny's computer room anymore. So, it looks like we are staying here instead of moving back to Asheville after all. I'm glad, because I love it here. I hope we never move again. I have lots of play and hide room, lots of treats, and people that I actually tolerate here. I get to live with my Papa and see my Aunt Lissy almost every day. I do miss my Grandma though, since I haven't seen her in a long time. Mom says they will even be going to Asheville and bringing Mommy's things here soon. If the Bear would stop chasing me and leave me alone, life would be perfect.

It rained on me!
I was trying to play outside on the porch and it decided to rain! *hiss* And not only rain, but hail! I tried to get my way by standing there anyway, but the hail kept pelting me in the side. I finally had enough and scooted back into the house. Mommy and her Papa laughed at my stubbornness. I waited until the small storm had passed then went back outside so that I could sit in the sun. The Bear is leaving me alone today. It's about time! And Dog hasn't been that annoying lately. All in all things are going well for me right now. Mommy says she's proud of how much more social I am now. And how brave I am about going outside on the porch to play. I'm not as skittish as I used to be. I'm glad, because I can have more fun this way! Mommy did get just a few more pics recently. Enjoy!
