My trip to the vet

Last week Mom noticed some worms coming out of my butt and called the vet. They couldn't get me an appointment until today so we had to wait. Mom kept telling me that I was going to the vet but I didn't know what to expect. I was worried I was going back to that place and be stuck in a cage again. Anyway Mom came home for work early today and I was pleased to see her. She picked me up and put me in my cage and off to the vet we went. I don't mind the cage but I really hate riding in the car. I meowed the whole way to the vet's office. Once we were there I was a really good boy and Mom was very proud of me. I sat in my cage and was quiet while we waited for our turn. Once they called us we went into the room with the stainless steel table. I was very curious about this place and wanted to explore. When the nice vet lady came in, she told me how very handsome I was. Even the tech said I was a handsome boy. She took me and weighed me--I weigh 14 lbs. I have gained weight since coming to live with Mom. The nice vet lady looked me over and looked at my paperwork from the awful shelter place. She gave me a rabies shot and put some medicine on my neck for the worms. Next she suggested to my Mom that I have a test for Feline Aids and Leukemia. Mom asked what was all involved with that. The nice vet lady said they would have to draw some blood and run a test. Mom was hesitant but agreed to it. They took me to the back room and drew some blood. They brought me back to my Mom and told her I was a good boy and that they would call my Mom with the results of my test. I got back into my cage and we headed for home. The nice vet lady called my Mom later and said that my test was negative and that was a good thing. My Mom is very pleased and said that I don't need to ever go through that again. I am a healthy boy!!!!! After I got back home Mom gave me some treats for being a good boy today. I guess it was all worth it to get treats. I love treats!!! Now I am back home resting on the couch from my hectic day. Mom says I don't have to go back to the vet for another year. Thank goodness!!!!! Time for me to go and try to give Mom the guilt trip and maybe get some more treats.---Purrs, Stanley

Happy birthday Mom!

Today is our Mom's birthday. Daisy and I tried to think of something special to get our Mom. Since neither one of us can drive we were pretty limited on what we could get. We finally decided we would get Mom up real early this morning so she could have the privledge of serving us breakfast in the morning. What better gift could a kitty give? We hope our Mom enjoyed our gift because we sure did. I did give her a birthday purr this morning and Daisy gave her a few birthday kisses. Happy birthday Mom!!!!!!

Purrs & kisses, Stanely & Daisy

Our new cat tree

My Mom is so nice! She purchased a cat tree for Daisy and I. My Mom spent a lot of her hard earned money to purchase this tree for us. She set it up in her bedroom in hopes that Daisy and I would have fun playing on it. She was right-Daisy and I love playing in the box that the cat tree came in!! We take turns jumping in and out of the box. Our Mom is the best! It is a nice big box and nice and deep. Mom keeps telling us that she didn't purchase the box for us---she purchased the tree. Daisy and I think it looks really nice in the corner of Mom's bedroom. My Mom says if we don't start playing on it, she is going to use it for a plant stand. We say, as long as she doesn't take our box away we will be happy. Please Mom, please don't take our box away!! I don't trust her--I must go and 'guard' the box. Daisy and I take shifts protecting our new toy.
