I need help with my blog

I can't for the life of me figure out why my photo of Babe over on the right side is smaller than any of the other kids. What have I done wrong? Very aggravating. Thanks for any ideas or help.

Look what we got in the mail today

It's a Gizzy quilt! Isis has claimed it already. It sure is pretty, and has all mom's favorite colors.

HeHe, I sure made a lier out of mom. I was so very good. The girl groomer said I laid on my back on her legs while she shaved off my mats. She said I was a real gentleman. So there.

Oh, and I smell very nice now, kind of like baby powder.

My Late Birthday Present

Guess what I'm getting today? A bath. Well more than just a bath, it's the whole 9 yards. Mom decided I really need a trip to the groomer so I have a 7:45 am appointment. Wish me luck :)

This just sucks!

It's my birthday and I'll meow if I want to.....

I'm 5 years old today.
Romeo sez come and have some nip and play with my new toys! Mom sez she does not care what kind of mess we make, that's her gift to me :) Please ignore Isis if she growls at you, she's just jealous of me.

Formerly Feral Friday

My two old girls, Summer and Babe, are formerly feral. They are 18 now and still run and hide when I have visitors. But that's ok, we LIKE living alone :)

Good News - Happy Tears

I never thought I'd be able to write these words. Babe's CRF has drastically improved :D
Dr. Vet called with her blood results and they were almost normal! Her first test numbers in August were Creatinine - 7.7, now 3.5, and her Bun was 88, now 38. Dr.Vet was very excited for us and he said, "Whatever you're doing, keep it up". Such good news, I wish I could speak cat so I could tell Babe that this is the reason she gets stuck 3x a week.

V-E-T

So I had to go back to the V-E-T today. They stealed more of my blood, they took my temp from you know where, they tried to get a pee sample but I fooled them. I had peed in the PTU on the way there so there was nothing left for them. Now mom has to try to get some of my pee to take back to them. I don't know why they want PEE. Mom was happy that my weight was the same, I think they were surprised because my kidney numbers were SO VERY high in the begining. Mom should know I was doing ok, I've been very happy and loving lately. Mom will get the results from my blood tomorrow. Hope they are good.

Bobby Belly

Floofy Friday

Romeo has too much floof. I can't keep the mats off his belly, and I just don't have the $65 to take him to the groomer. When I try to pick the mat apart he puts serious bity on me.... makes holes in me that hurts!

End of the Plumerias

Last of the flowers for the year. The plumerias will be dropping their leaves soon- just sticks till next spring. The passion flower wasn't at it's best this year, not enough rain I guess.

Sophie's story

It all started with a normal trip to Petsmart. I try to hurry past the kitties up for adoption, but yesterday I peeked in. There was a beautiful long hair tuxie girl that was 6 1/2 yo. She was so sweet and loving. I stayed in there way too long. All the way home I thought about her. All night long I thought about her. I even gave her a name. Marlo. So I go back today to get her. I know, I need another cat like I need a mole with hair on my nose. BUT, she's gone!! I missed her by 45 minutes. Not meant to be. So I start scritching a pretty calico girl and one employee after another comes in and tells me her story. She's been in that cage 2 months, she's affectionate and a beauty. SOLD. Her name is Sophie, she's 1 yo and she's a leaner. She rubs and leans against my legs. She has beautiful gold eyes, but she manages to blink with the camera flash...

Jeannie's story

Jeannie joined our family on February 3, 2009. I was looking at all the kitties in our area that needed forever homes. Something about her sweet little face made me keep going back to look at her again and again. I still don't know why, but I sent off an email asking about her. I told myself if it was meant to be, then what's one more furkid? I received an answer to my email saying she was a feral kitty and had been asked about many times, but since she wasn't a lap cat, nobody wanted her. Well we've been down that road many times and I was able to adopt her. Jeannie had been living on a golf course and had at least 2 litters of babies. All her babies were caught and have forever homes. She is about 5 years old, and is a very tiny, delicate girl.

Babe's story

Babe is one of the feral cats my Mom caught. She was Mom's cat along with her other two. After Mom passed, I took care of all three of her cats. Her two original cats went to the rainbow bridge very shortly after Mom died. She had Babe for eight years and I've had her now for nine more years. Babe is my CRF girl. When she was first diagnosed with CRF I thought I'd only have her for a few more weeks, but she has surprised both me and the vet and is doing great with only sub-q fluids three times a week.

Romeo's story

I found Romeo online. I received an email from a friend about him. His Mom was in a nursing home and not coming back (she didn't know she was staying there forever). So her family was trying to find a home for Romeo. She had an attorney that was to find a good home for Romeo if anything ever happened to her. I had to actually apply to get him. References and essay about me. Once her family had me checked out I was able to pick him up at the attorneys office. I had only been told he was 5 years old and very fluffy. Turned out he's a pure himalayan. I don't think he had ever seen another cat until I brought him home. He's very friendly and is best friends with Bob and Jeannie.

Isis's story

Bob's story

Bob's adoption was totally a spur of the moment thing. I was in the dentist's office for a cleaning and I was telling my dental hygienist about adopting Isis and that I had never had an orange cat. Then she tells me her vets office has a little orange cat up for adoption. I went home and called to make sure the cat was still there, then grabbed a PTU and headed off to go get him. When I got there all I could see was a little bit of orange fur poking out from under his bed. Then we got him out of his cage and he was HUGE. Turned out he was 5 years old and his original family just didn't want him anymore. So off I went to fill out the paper work while the vet gave him one last check over. When we put him in the PTU he almost didn't fit. He is a wonderful boy but very scared all the time. He ducks his head every time I reach down to pet him, like he thinks I'm going to hit him. He doesn't know how to play with toys and once I got one of those toys with a fuzzy hanging from a stick and he was so afraid of the stick he ran and hid for hours. Now we only have the fuzzy part, the stick I trashed. Thank goodness he and Romeo are such good buds, it's the only time he really plays.
