Happy 4th of July!

Hope everycat is having a happy 4th of July! It has been hot here. One of our air conditioners (we have one on each side of the house) went out last night, so it has been warm inside too! I don't mind the heat too much, but the humans don't seem to like it too much.

I'm still being a lap kitty. I'm always sitting in someone's lap now, my momma says it's like I've had a personality change. Hey, it just took me 19 years to discover how much I like laps. Plus, you get more pets when you are sitting in a lap.

I've been putting up with Maurice the Crazy Cat ok. Most the time he pretty much leaves me alone, but sometimes he just starts acting insane. Last night he had to be locked up in his room because he was being such a crazy. And that new brother Charlie is supposed to come here at the end of this month. I think I'm gonna be overrun with boycats, I just hope this one isn't quite as rambunctious. I'll guess I'll find out soon enough!

Hope everycat has a pawsome 4th!

Me, A Lap Kitty?

Yeah, you heard it. I've now decided, for the first time in 19 years, to be a lap kitty. Hey, a girl has a right to change her mind, right? And who wants to miss out on all those snuggles and pets. I am not happy if I am not in a lap now. And I used to never be in laps. The humans are saying maybe I forgot I don't like laps, MOL! I know I've just changed me mind. Got to keep those people on their toes!

Things are going pretty well with Maurice. We've been getting along pretty good - but I here there's going to be a new brother named Charlie showing up here in about a month. Go send him a friend request if you haven't already, it's going to be his birthday tomorrow!

Playing Hide and Seek

Do any of you like to play hide and seek with your pawrents? This weekend, I was playing hide and seek with my daddy. My momma was out of town visiting my oldest girl down in Austin. He couldn't find me, so he sent my momma a text message saying that. And she freaked out! Everyone gets worried about me playing hide and seek for some reason, something about me being old. But I like playing hide and seek. My youngest girl, whose back from college, did eventually find me - I was hiding in the dining room (it's full of all this stuff right now so it is a great place to hide). MOL MOL!

I'm adjusting to Maurice being back home. He is not being too big of a brat - well, not compared to how he can be! MOL! At first I was guarding my food bowl from him, but I'm not anymore since he's not being too bad about stealing my food.

If anyone hasn't sent Charlie a friend request yet, please do so! He's my oldest girl's new cat she adopted. Thanks! My oldest girl just finished up doing my summer page for me. I do miss the music though.

A New Friend

Hey kitties, I have got a new kitty for you to be friends with. His name is Charlie and he joined my family today. My oldest girl adopted him, she is down in Austin with Whitley for the summer. So I don't have to put up with him yet - MOL MOL! He had been abandoned a couple of years ago at the apartment complex she lives at. People had been feeding him and petting him, but she thought he deserved a real home. She took him to the vet today and got him his shots and found out that he is pretty healthy. He's underweight, but I have a feeling some Fancy Feast will cure that - MOL MOL! I heard he is kinda shy, so maybe he will know to respect my authority when and if he comes to live here in August (da oldest girl still hasn't found a job yet and her one-year job is ending then). So if y'all can go make him feel welcome to Catster, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!

Happy Birthday Finley!

Today is my doggie pal, Finley's sixth birthday. Happy birthday to her! She is pretty nice and good to snuggle with.

Dat Maurice isn't here yet, but I am getting ready for him. And I heard some kinda rumor about maybe another cat coming here at the end of July??? Why should I, a queen cat, have to put up with all these boycats?? Oh well, I guess I'll just focus on Maurice for now and worry about this other cat when and if he shows up.

He's Coming Back???

I heard a rumor that that Maurice cat and his momma are coming back to live with me. See, his momma just graduated from college and is gonna be coming back to live at home for a while. I'm happy about her coming back - I mean of course I'd like another person around to pet me and feed me and dote on me like the Queen I am. But I don't know why she has to bring that Maurice back. He doesn't seem to understand that I'm the Queen around here, he thinks he is the big boss just because he is bigger. Well, he's gonna have to learn that that's just not the way it is!

Even the dog Finley knows I am the boss around here and she'll help defend me if he gets out of line with the bopping me. And she really doesn't like him bopping her - MOL! So maybe he will learn some manners, but I'm not counting on it happening real quick!

I'm a Dreamgirl!

My pals named me Dreamgirl # 29 today! Thanks so much! I always knew I was a dreamy gorgeous girlcat, but it is always nice to have someone agreeing with you! MOL MOL!

I've been doing pretty good. I am really enjoying this hot weather we are having. It feels really nice. I love lying in the sun.

Momma noticed I've been acting like my back legs are a little sore, so she's been lifting me up more so I don't have to jump up. I guess that comes with the territory of being 19. But I am still moving around pretty good and enjoying my food and pets.

I'm a DDP! And Maurice is outta the hospital!

Wow, I'm a DDP today! A birthday celebration and a DDP - this week has been pretty good! Thanks for all the comments and gifties!

Maurice is out of the hospital so I guess all those purrs worked. Keep on purring that he won't re-block because that can happen after a kitty has a blockage.

Today momma was talking about getting me a harness and a leash so I could go sit out in the backyard and enjoy the warmth and sunshine. I'm excited - I think this sounds like a pawsome idea.

I'm still really loving my catnip bed - it was a pawsome present! Thanks again Zack and Zoey!

It's My 19th Birthday!

And I have been having a pawsome day! I have gotten all kinds of yummy treats and food! And I got a really cool present from my pals Zack and Zoey - a really cute catnip filled mat from the Etsy shop Ruff Around The Edges. I love it so much - the minute it the package was opened, I was right on it! Thanks so much guys!

And some of my pals set up a birthday stroll for me too! And I have gotten so many presents on my page - thanks so much to all my pals for making my 19th birthday pawsome! I'm so glad I have pals like you to share it with.

And now for an update on that black and white boy Maurice - my girls went to go see him in the hospital today and he is doing ok. He was a little out of it, but he perked up when he saw them. There's still some blood coming out of his catheter and he'll have to stay there for a couple more days. So keep on purring for him.

And now let's break out the birthday FF and niptinis and celebrate!

Please Purr for Maurice

I know sometimes I complain about Maurice, but I'd really appreciate it if y'all could send him some purrs and POTP. He was having some accidents outside of his box and having a really hard time peeing, so he had to go to the emergency vet today. He was blocked, so it was really good he got to the vet today. So please send him some purrs and some POTP - I may complain about him some, but I really do like the not-so-little guy and hope he'll be ok.

UPDATE:

Maurice just woke up from his anesthesia. The vet said the blockage was very difficult to remove, but they got it. His bladder was filled with bloody urine and it had been huge before they got it cleaned out. So please keep on purring for him. Thanks so much!
