Cover your business or let some other kitty cover? I cover my business like a little dainty girl. But I have a confession, I love to roll in litter that has been kicked out of the box--but not by me, of course! 3. Happy! Favorite Daily Routine? When it's time to get some chicken! I can also smell that pot of chicken when it's boiling and weave through my Dad's or Mom's legs to make sure they don't forget to give me some! 4. Hiss! Least Favorite Routine? Being picked up makes me squirm! 5. Ding-Dong! What do you think about visitors to your house? Why are they here? 6. Friends! Do you like other animals? Only when they don't try to bite my bum! Here are some friends that I am tagging! Please, no one feel left out- if you are reading this and you want to play, consider yourself tagged!

ZACK and ZOEY get to play with ping pong balls, she decided to go to the sporting goods store to buy some. Once she got there she ended buying a container of 36 of them! Well, there are nine of us living here and she figured some would disappear under furniture. Now we have ping pong balls all over the house! I play with them by myself most of the time but it's really cool when a few of us play with them at the same time and make them bounce around on the hard floor or knock them down the stairs. If you want to get creative, have a human take an x-acto knife and carefully make a small "x" on them, stick some catnip in the hole and maybe even wrap some fabric around them for a different kind of toy! Speaking of Zack and Zoey, tomorrow, February 6th, is ROCKY ANN'S first anniversary at the Rainbow Bridge, and on Super Bowl Sunday! She's wearing her Cheesehead to cheer the Packers on, and I know she's happy that QuarterZACK and Zoey have filled her Mom's and Dad's hearts with so much joy.

I never got to tell her that her name always reminded Mom of the song Sugar, Sugar by The Archies. I knew if I told her that she wouldn't have had any idea what I was talking about because that song came out in 1969 way before her time!

I got a steroid shot a ... ALDO called them. I got a steroid shot and some foot wash, and they started to look better. Well, the plump piggies are back! LUCY told me last time about a condition one of her Catster friends had called Feline Plasma Cell Pododermatitis. I can't remember who her friend was and whether it was TASHA or not, but I did talk to Tasha, who has had it before, and from that conversation Mom was able to talk to our vet on the phone and got a prescription for Doxycycline. When the vet said the Doxycycline would be in liquid form and either water or food had to be given with it, Mom frowned because she couldn't see how she would hold me to try to force me to take it. I've come such a long way hanging around with my parents and I am the hardest kitty to catch. They don't like trying to chase me down, and they protect me from any cat in the house who even looks like they are stalking me. They don't want to make any experience around them negative. Mom was very happy when the vet called back and said I could get a prescription in pill form and we are very happy to report that I took my first pill tonight very easily. I was in the cat bed downstairs in the family room and Mom split the pill in two and put them into two separate Pill Pockets because even one pill looked big to her, especially for a little kitty like me. She put them in a little bowl and put it in front of me and I tasted it a little and then turned away. So, she went and got some cooked chicken pieces and put it in the bowl and stuck it around the outside of the Pill Pockets as well. First, I ate around them and then I ate both of them, all on my own. It was a pleasant experience, and that's exactly what Mom wanted for me. I hope these pills will deflate my plump piggies!

Mom thought I was upstairs in one of the cat trees sleeping but when she came to get me she discovered I was up on the window sill. I started to jump down and was going to make a run for it, but she grabbed me and locked both of us in the bathroom. I didn't know what to think when my plump piggies were getting shampooed in lukewarm water. After we were done, Mom sat on the floor and put me on her lap wrapped in a towel. Then I had to get all this affection and listen to her apologize. Pixie's little paws kept showing up under the door, too! LUCY was telling me about a condition one of her Catster friends has called Plasma Cell Pododermatitis, which is sometimes called Pillow Foot! The pictures I saw look similar so we'll ask the vet about it, but sounds like nothing can be confirmed without a biopsy. Thanks for the info, Lucy, and thanks to all of you for your purrs for my Plump Piggies/Pillow Feet!

About a half hour before my appointment Mo ... Eosinophilic Granuloma, an inflammatory skin disease. My lymph nodes on the back of one leg felt a bit enlarged, but you don't notice anything when I'm walking, running, or jumping. The only way to know for sure would be a biopsy, so we are not going to assume right now that it's a fact. For now, Mom begrudingly agreed to let me get a steroid shot, but they had to do a quickie blood test first and my blood test came out great, so I got the shot. Plus, I got some Allergroom shampoo so I can get my paws washed. Ha! If they can catch me first! Then we have to call the vet back in a couple of weeks to report on my progress. Oh, and the $213.62 also paid for them to weigh me and tell me I'm 7.9 lbs, so I have no weight loss! On the way back home, there were some balloons on the center divider on the road to advertise the Farmer's Market by our house. It's windy today so they were flying into the path of the road and we thought it would be fun to drive into them but we missed.

As soon as he came home I overheard ... DAD: It's a good thing you didn't go because they had alot of kittens there today. MOM: Really? I want to go see! DAD: Well, you can go see and give them a donation or something but you can't bring anymore cats home. I've heard "that" before. And yeah, Dad, give Mom a reason to go see the kittens. Why didn't you give them a donation? MOM: Like how many were there? What did they look like? DAD: There were alot, probably a dozen or so. Different kinds, with long and short hair. MOM: Maybe I'll go see. No, maybe not. DAD: Yeah, you probably shouldn't. Mom spent the next hour talking herself out of going and she didn't. Why did Dad tell Mom anyway when he knows that she knows that the rescue place is there every Saturday? They're in a separate room at the pet store and he could have easily shopped for our food without stopping to look at them himself, and he also stopped to look at the dogs that were available for adoption. Well, we know all those kitties and doggies are currently safe in their foster homes.

Ziggy knows how much I can eat without gaining weight, so when I told him I was drooling over the fish he'd been eating, he wrote back and told me he'll send me a whale!

We would typically write to each other during late hours Catster time. Ziggy was always so upbeat and we would sometimes critique each other's pictures, talk about how he might find a "crush", and recently, how his Mom just bought a digital camera and was taking so many new pictures of him. I went into shock last night when I received the pawmail from him that he had passed yesterday. The letter was painful to read but was so endearing. Ziggy will live on Catster forever as he will in the hearts of the family who loved him. I will be keeping in touch with him as he continues his life at the Bridge. Now we all have another Angel watching over us.
