Arrival Story: I rescued Muppet from a huge cat sanctuary where the cats had been left to starve. Several hundred did not make it and many more were critical when we arrived to try and help the end of May 2007. Muppet and precious Beannie Baby were among the most critical too and the heartbreaking day when Beannie Baby died from kidney failure I scooped up Muppet and brought her home. I didn't want to let her out of my sight. She weighed only 4 pounds, she was emaciated and dehydrated. She could barely walk and she looked like a puppet on strings when she tried. It's been over 3 months now, and Muppet weighs in at 6 pounds. Still needs to gain a couple more pounds. Her kidneys are thankfully hanging in there, but she's still having some problems with her ears. For the first month after we brought her home, she slept by the food and water bowls. She didn't want her food and water to ever get 'lost' again. She's learned to trust again that the food and water will always be there, so now she likes to sleep on a bed or by a window. Her personality is starting to come out and she is such a sweet little character. We love her so much.
Bio: Later, in mid July, Best Friends thankfully took over the sanctuary thanks to my pleading phone calls, and they've already adopted out over 100 cats. About 550 cats still need to find homes. We have now officially adopted Muppet!! Yeah! I named her Cassidy in June when I first took her to the vet, but 'Muppet' seems to fit her better. On Catsters, Best Friends has posted some of the beautiful cats from the sanctuary for adoption. They accidentally put my Cassidy/Muppet's picture on another cat's story. They do have another Tortie that they named Cassidy also who is up for adoption. But that adorable little kitty that I'm holding in their photo is our precious baby. :) The photo I added where she's sitting on a chair I took the end of May 2007 out at the sanctuary. Muppet, as most of the cats, was emaciated and almost bald from malnutrition, mange and ringworm. There will be justice for the cats in this horrible animal cruelty and neglect case at this sanctuary. I will be one of the many to testify to make sure the persons responsible hopefully get what they deserve. .......................... UPDATE 12-02-07 - What can one say about Best Friends Animal Society? After they arrived, 748 cats were recovered and 684 of those survived thanks to BF's at this nightmare animal place. (They were awarded by the court another 114 animals,that they flew to Utah, when the former owner's home was raided by Animal Control.) In all, over 300 sadly did not survive due to neglect, and in the end starvation and dehydration, by the previous owners. But as of today, out of the 684 cats that BF's endlessly and diligently worked to save, only 200 or so remain that need to be adopted in to their forever new homes. That's close to 500 cats saved, at times to the tune of $50,000 a week in vet care expenses, and placed into fantastic new homes!! This horrible, so called sanctuary, known as F.L.O.C.K., For Love Of Cats & Kittens (Now rightfully renamed 'For Lack Of Care & Kindness') is now known as among the worst ever recorded hoarding, animal neglect and cruelty cases ever discovered in our Nation's history. We are STILL WAITING for the D.A. to press charges................ As for Little Muppet, she's doing better. Her right ear still bothers her a bit from time to time, but other than that her health has greatly improved. Her newest thing is that she's discovered how to play and that it's fun. She still will freeze and stare at her feet if another cat comes close to her. She has recently warmed up enough to trust one kitty, Armani, a huge breakthrough for her. (Thank you Armani for being so gentle and patient with her) She's such a doll and we love her so much. :) (Further updates are in her diary )

I finally did it, and boy did I do it good! *hangs head* It wasn’t my fault, really! It was Sissy C’s boyfriend’s fault. Yep, Josh is to blame! He came home with the cutest little toy, it’s a miniature helicopter. Sam, Nakita and I were very interested in it as it is the size of a bird and it moves by itself.
Meomy reached down and placed me on her lap and the next thing I knew that lil’ helicopter took flight!! It buzzed around the room and then started coming right at meomy and I! At first I ’ooh oohed’ in amazement, but then it approached us too close and I…. well, I got scared and bolted…. right over meomy’s face! Oops! Meomy’s now sporting the first scratch that I have ever given anyone since the day we met and it‘s a doozy. She wasn’t mad or anything, but asked why did it have to be right across her face? *giggles, but still feels bad because meomy has a very busy week ahead including meetings, a doctor’s appointment in Vegas and a court date, Flock, on Thursday.*
In other excitement, last night we had an electrical fire bust out underneath our kitchen sink! I’m not quite sure what an electrical fire is, but it sure scared meomy. I was up on the counter sitting right next to the sink waiting to be fed, when suddenly meomy snatched me up and was running around like a crazed woman! She had me in one hand and was trying to frantically gather cat carriers.
She now thanks our Angels who were watching out over us. If she hadn’t have walked into the kitchen right at that moment to feed me and herself, heard the strange buzzing noises, went and got Josh to listen to the strange noises, and then smelled the smoke, then saw fire underneath the sink….. it could have been a lot worse than it was. Josh was the hero who found the keys to the power box, got the electricity shut down, and put out the small fire. Josh figured out that there was an unknown small water leak underneath the kitchen sink and last night it just happened to be dripping right onto the outlet where the dishwasher and garbage disposal were plugged into. Mom says that she is fine going a few days without the dishwasher and garbage disposal and is VERY thankful that our house is still standing and that nobody was hurt.
Josh is now looking at meomy like she’s a nutcase, and for two hours last night I sat back and looked at her thinking the same! MOL! Her only thought was to immediately get everyone and every cat out of the house. She didn’t think to calmly assess the situation, “a small electrical fire just started…. shut the power off and put out the flames!” Nope! That never crossed her mind! *giggles* Thank goodness Sissy C’s beau, Josh, was here!! Now if the guy had just stayed away this evening, meomy wouldn't have a big scratch across her face! :)
We were very sad to learn that SIR ALFIE~kneads alot~suddenly had to fly to the Bridge! And also that beautiful ROCKY ANN has made her peaceful journey to the Bridge. We send our love and prayers of comfort to their families. *gentle hugs* They will never be forgotten.
Ooh, ooh Aah aah!
Hugs & Luv,
Lil’ Muppet
~ THANK YOU to whomever is showering me with treats! I really appreciate it! I have a sneaking suspicion who's behind this! :) Hugs ~
I have been tagged by the beautiful Russian Blue gal, BELLA BLUE to play a Valentine’s Game! Thank you Bella for thinking of me! I am to list 5 things that I LOVE and ask whoever wants to play to join in! (Or tag 5 friends to play along)
1) I LOVE all of the comforts of being an indoor kitty, and I also LOVE being able to go romp in the backyard at times. One day I’m going to catch myself a little birdie, you just wait and see! *meomy cringes*
2) I LOVE all of my Catster friends & I also LOVE & have some very cool Dogster friends. I LOVE my beau, GREYSTONE, and am so glad that we have remained long time best friends. ~hugs and love to Grey and each one of you~
3) I LOVE sleeping next to meomy every night without that Nakita also in the bedroom! Meomy always giggles and says that often the first thing she sees when she first opens her eyes is the back of my little head. I’m sleeping on my side, in the exact same position as her, with my head resting on her arm or her pillow.
4) I LOVE my Catster friends for clueing meomy in on the yummy food called TIKI! Although I’m allergic to tuna fishies, they have some very tasty sardine dinners that I LOVE and I no longer miss my tuna treats!
5) I LOVE life and adventure! Thank you to ALL who made it possible for me to still be here living it! ~endless Muppet kisses to you all~
Ooh ooh, Aah aah!
Hugs and Valentine Luv,
Lil’ Muppet
Today has been a good day! First of all my Auntie P’s kitty, JoJo, had his surgery to remove a skin lesion that he’s had on-going problems with since she adopted him back in 2004. The doggie medicine Atopica at first helped to control this icky skin lesion, but last May it returned with a vengeance and the poor little guy has had to live in an e-collar ever since without much relief. This spot simply refused to heal and fears of this spot turning cancerous led his doc to have him undergo the laser to remove all of the skin and tissue that was affected. The hope is that he now will heal and have no more problems with it returning. The spot cut out was sent off to a lab. JoJo sailed through his surgery just fine and Auntie P and meomy picked him up this evening. The surgery site is about three inches long with lots and lots of stitches. Purrs for JoJo that it heals up quickly and that he’ll be out of that e-collar for good!
JoJo was as quiet as a mouse on the ride back until meomy swung through a drive through for some food! He let everyone know that he hadn’t eaten since last night and he meowed out quite a big order! “I’ll take a couple of those cheeseburgers, a large fry and several of those fish sandwiches….. and a large water too! I‘m starving and thirsty!“ *giggles*
Today meomy was informed that FLOCK’s court date has been set!! Auntie D first was informed by the DA that it was going to be in March, but now we hear that it’s set for mid February! Meomy’s going to speak with the DA next week and, although she’s never been able to give out too much information in my diaries about the investigation, meomy will say what she can when she learns more.
Keeping our ill kitty and doggie friends in our close purrs, and sending purrs of comfort for the family’s of those that have journeyed to the Bridge.
Ooh ooh, Aah ahh
Hugs & Luv,
Lil’ Muppet
*Thanks to all who acknowledged our Spunky’s Cat of the Day honor the other day! ~hugs~ We were all so thrilled for him and meomy will have some new pictures of him from his Dad put up in his room soon!*
