Meow Meow Meow! (That’s Thank You in Moggie)

 

Marty and I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent well wishes for recovery.  Although we aren’t out of the woods (we are still waiting for additional test results and we still have to do the FIV and FeLV tests too) he is feeling much better.

He is up and about, playing and he is has his appetite back.  All very good signs.  We have our fingers and paws crossed that he has a severe kidney infection and nothing else. . .  . .

I appreicate that everyone was so understanding with me.  Marty, Minou and Manny are more than just cats.  They really are family.  I don’t have children of my own, I don’t live close to any of my family or life-long friends. . . . they make the pain of living so far away from people I love and care for most much easier to handle.

This was the first time any of my cats have been sick.  Those that know me know how anally retentive I am about pets and cats, and know the great lengths I go to keep them safe and healthy.

Part of me felt a failure with Marty falling ill, like I wasn’t holding up my part of the bargain of keeping my moggies safe and healthy. . . .

I think with the amount of purring, headbuts and kisses Marty has bestowed on me the past couple of days, its fair to say he has forgiven me.

I will update everyone on Marty’s progress.

Thanks again for thinking about my moggie!

Happy Birthday Manny

Today is Manny’s first birthday.

Happy Birthday Baby Moggie!

 

Perched in the Window

After all the weed wacking, and tree tackling this past week – I really wanted to get stuck into making a “window seat” for the moggies. Those that have cats know how they like be “up high” and love the obstacle of jumping to a cozy place to snooze.

With the dead tree from the front yard moved, the window in the front seemed the best place. Best views of the street and passerbys, most sunlight during the day and a central vantage point in the house (you can see upstairs and downstairs all at the same time)

Purrrrfect.

What do you think?

They look comfy, eh?

Corona Inspired Quilt

I’m going to a baby shower today. This is the quilt I made last night for the occasion. . . .The first time Dad-to-be is pretty cool guy, and he loves Corona beer, so the colours in the quilt are inspired from that! Plus it gave me an excuse to buy fabric with FLAMES on it!

Marty, Minou and Manny all approve. . . .

He and his girlfriend are expecting a baby boy in September. . . .

The inspiration :

Mirror Mirror on the Floor

Colin and I got several mirrors from my mom as an anniversary gift.  We have a wall leading downstairs I plan to put about 10 mirrors of different sizes and shapes on.

I was using one of the mirrors in the bedroom last week, when I put foam rollers in my hair, and its been sitting against the wall in the bedroom since.

I cause my stunningly handsome cat, Marty, watching himself in the mirror today . . .

Sitting upright and proud, shoulders back, tail wooshing back and forth behind him. . . .

He looked like he was smiling as he titled his head from side to side to get a better look.

He has stationed himself in front of the mirror for his naps as well.

How vain!  How drole!

I love my Marty Cat.

If Only Cats Were THAT Simple!

Found the picture below during a routine Goolge-ing fest.

It amuses me, mainly because its freaking damn obvious.   Cats are simply not that simple.

Of course, if you happen to be kept by cats (like me) you do learn their moods. . . .

Well, Now there is No Question : I’m a Cat Person.

You Are: 0% Dog, 100% Cat

You are are almost exactly like a cat. You’re intelligent, independent, and set on getting your way. And there’s no way you’re going to fetch a paper for anyone!

Are You More Cat or Dog?

Sicky Poo!

I have two sick babies in my house today.

Colin has congestion and a cold. Most likely brought on by going in and out of air conditioned office to non-climate controlled environments all week. We were supposed to have Geoff from Ottawa up this weekend for a bike ride and bbq. We phoned him early this morning to tell him not to make the drive, besides Colin feeling like crap, Manny crapped himself all over the house this morning.

The kitty squirts happened once before with Manny, after he ate some garbage. Besides scaring the shit out of him (pun intended), and feeling physically bad, he feels like he has been bad kitty for not using the litter. Now, granted, it would have made clean up much easier had he used the litter, but I wasn’t mad at him. I just want him to feel better.

Those that have met little Manny know what a purrrrrrr machine he is. He wasn’t making any noise, except for some panting.

My poor little baby.

I put him in the bathroom to clean up the mess, after I got everything sorted I went into the bathroom to clean him up. Then it happened. . . . . again. (AGAIN!!!!!!)

He started to fart, and little juicy streaks of liquid poop shot out of his butt. Every time he farted, it scared him and he ran around the bathroom, leaving little wet puddle bombs.

After another clean up, a bath, and some serious cuddling, Manny is pretty much back to himself. He is sitting with me now, damp and shivering, covered with a towel purrrrring.

What a crappy day. Literately
