My first Halloweenphoto contest

This year was my first Halloween and I was a friendly ghost cat. In this group that I in there was a contest for best photoshop, prop, and naturel. Guess what? I won third place and mes furry happy today. Yaaays! I gots a black kitty rosette for my prize. Thank you everyfur for voting for mes. I had lots of funs and everycat looked wonderfully nice.

Mom got us a new toy, its called a crinkle tunnel, it makes crinkly sounds when running thru it. It looks lots of fun to play wif it, but brofur skippy was mean to me today and won't let mes play to. All's I did is just watch him play. Well, I tolds mom Skippy won't let me plays and she told Skippy that he needs to share wif me and lets me plays to. Hehehe he got in troubles, he got in troubles.
Mom got on the floor (that was so funny) and played wif me. She rolled a ball in the tunnel and I runs through the tunnel to get the ball, so I had double the funs today.

I say she deserves recognition for her talent. What do you think kitties? *gives around applause,* Yayy to Briana.

Furminator shedding tool

We had found out on August 26, that we had won a furminator, and well when mom got the mail she saw a yellow padded envelope in the mail box, she looked at the return address, and told me and brofur it's our Furminator, she opened the envelope and took it out and let us both sniff it until we were satisfied and I just walked away with no interest, Skippy showed some interest so mom tried it on him first, and wow, that thing really works good, she combed out some of his loose furry fur. I was excited at first when we found out that we won a furminator, but know I'm not so sure if i like that thing, maybe I'll let mom try it on me when and only when I feel ready. MOL.
Thank you Furminator Shedding Tool Company.

I Found a Spider

I noticed a small spider crawling on the kitchen floor. I was swatting at it back and fourth and then I went to bite on the spider and I shook my head and spit it back out. It would have been a good appetizer when I was done playing wif it but moms just had to step in to see what I was doings.
She said "you can't have that"! she quickly grabs a paper towel and
went to flush it. If it wasn't for me seeing the spider it would have made itself right at home and moms would have never known about the spider crawling around. Moms was happy that I saw the spider and she praised me for finding it.

I was Spoiled

I had a day of getting spoiled yesterday. Mom got a new toy to play with, its like a kitty rocker with balls inside of a tunnel thing. Its a real cool toy and lots of fun. oh yea, it also has a ball tied to the top of the
thingy thing that can be swatted around. Mom says she gonna try to take pictures and put them on my page. *runs back to toy*.

Vets for the Day

I go to the vetdr early this morning to go and get neutered. I haven't eaten since 6:00 last night. I can only have water. Moms say I will be their all day and be able to come back home late this afternoon.
This time I don't have to see the vetdr for a URI and no medicine.
That makes mommy very happy. I got extra hugs and kisses even though I not much into that smoochie stuff.

Update from the Vetdr 8-8-09.

When one of the techs brought me back to mom a little after surgery,
I was very scared with my long tail curled up against my body. I still felt sleepy from the anestesia. Everything went very well. They trimmed my nails and cleaned the inside of my nose that mom couldn't do, she was afraid to hurt me. When I got home I came right out of the carrier and I just went to lay down on the couch. I don't usually nap their but, I was really to sleepy to do any sniffing around. I so happy to be home and glad its all over with.

Special Eating Place

I have special privilege to eat up on the counter for my canned
Fancy Feast food. My brofur doesn't listen when I growl at him. So now he eats on his placemat on the floor all by himself. Hehehe.
Mommy wants to be sure I get my share of food because I of my illnesses I have.
An update on my UpperRespitory Infection. I am all done with taking my medicine as of Sunday. I guess now we just wait and see what happens.
It sure would be a blessing if I didn't have to go to the vets so often.

Vetdr. Visit Update

I had another visit with the vetdr. today. The dr. examined me and flexied each of my front paws back and fourth. He noticed that my left paw would not bend all the way. He looked at the video and he recommended to have x-raysays taken of my 2 front paws.
He came back in the room and showed the x-rays to mommy and explained what was wrong and the probable outcome.
He said I have a birth defect in my left front leg meaning that my (lame leg) is what the dr. called it is shorter than my front right leg. He measured each leg and showed mommy that my left leg measures 5 and a half inches from the femur bone to the joint bone and my right leg measures 7 and a half inches with the same measurements.
He then showed mommy another x-ray at a different angle with each leg slightly bent. It was again different measurements with the
(lame leg) left front leg measuring at 6 inches and the right leg (good leg) measuring at 7 and three quarters.
He told mommy that either the (lame leg) could hopefully grow and catch up with my good leg or it could turn out to be more severe and the (lame leg) not grow at all and my good leg continues growing more, he said that it could possibly be a problem in the future. We have to wait and see. He wants to see me back in four months to take x-rays again to see about any changes in my legs. Mommy told the dr. it was'nt very noticeable until I started getting bigger. I have no pain in my (lame leg) at least not now. The Vetdr. was very surprised about my legs, he said hes never heard of this and he told mommy that hes been a dr as long as twenty years.
Mommy says I'm a precious boy and she accepts the way god made me and loves me very much. I sure will needs lots of prayers and mommy to.

Another Dr.Vet Visit

Tomorrow I go back to the vets for my limping. I finally was able to cooperate with mommy so she could take a video of me limping.
The dr. plans to look at the video and he will decide if I need X-Rays. Mommy hopes he does do X-Rays just to be on the safe side. Mommy has been worried about me very much. She Loves and Cares for me very much.
I will update my diary about the dr. vet visit tomorrow.

Riley

Another Vet Visit

I had to go to the vets again I been limping and mommy can't figure out why. She just knows that when I wake from my night time sleep and take naps in the afternoon is when I limp after I start walking. The dr. wants mommy to take a video of me when I get up from sleeping, and depending on the video the dr. said I may have x-rays done.
I also have another health issue. I still continue to sneeze alot. No other symptoms thank goodness. The vet dr. put me on antibiotics again for 10 days.
One good news is the vet dr. weighed me and I weigh 4lbs. He is very pleased with my weight. Please pray for me and mommy she has been thru alot lately.

Catnip Bed

I was playing on mommy's bed in the bedroom yesterday afternoon with a mouse filled with catnip. I was batting it around and pierced a whole in the catnip mouse and continued to bat it around and the more I batted it and tossed it the more catnip came out and went all over mommys bed, and on the pillows. The bed wasn't even made mommy was lazy yesterday. *giggles*. When we went to bed last night mommy saw the catnip all over the place on the bed, she looked at the mess "in Shock" just to say she wasn't to happy. Oh yea, Skippy was making a mess to.

A Vet Visit

I was good for the car ride to the vets. Mommy had some nice music playing to help me feel comfortable in the car. It was that time again to see the doc for my second set of shots. They must of remembered me from the first visit because I did'nt give them a fuss like the first time. I was taken out back to have blood drawn just to make sure I'm doing good. After all the bad stuff was done they kindly trimmed my nails. The doc was very pleased with me how well I'm doing, My first visit I weighed 1.6 lbs and today I weighed 2.5 lbs. I need to go back in three weeks for another round of shots.

Love, Riley

I'm not sneezing alot right now like I was last time, but mommy called the Vet anyways and the doc told her to watch me closely and if the disharge from my nose turns a icky color then the Doc wants to see me again. Hissssssssss at the doc. Hopefully with much purrrrrrrrrrs I won't get worse.

I have a baby brofur

I got a new baby brofur. His name is Skippy. I had to set the rules straight with him. He helped himself to my food dish. He has his own setting like I do. A place mat. dish for wet and dry food and water. I had to tell him get out with a firm grooooooowl. He goes into the playroom-our nursery helps himself to my favorite toy, my FUZZY BALL. Their is alot of toys to play with and he takes and wacks my FUZZY BALL around and with another groooooooooooowl * leave my toy alone.* I will not share my FUZZY BALL. I get my beauty rest and he comes to wake me up. Wake up, wake up lets play! He says. I said with a huff, "Good Grief"!! Why did mommy have to get me a brofur????? He thinks he's so much cuter than me. I have a nice masculine figure and he's just a fat, pudgie ball of fur and woddles like a duck. I'll let my friends decide who's cuter. *Giggles*
