Need help in Tampa Bay Area.

A friend of a friend found 5 kittens with no mom. She is trying to feed them every two hours with kitten formula, but could really use some help. If anyone out there in the Tampa area has any ideas or can help we would appreciate hearing from you. Contact mom peggy at mar123 (at) gmail (dot) com.

Happy Gotcha Day Bob!!

2011-08-11T01:03:00.002-04:00

Came home 4 years ago today.

Such a good boy.

WOOT!! Christmas in July :D

2011-08-05T16:49:00.000-04:00

Look what our Christmas in July friends from Ozark Mountain Cats sent us!!!

TWO! 2! boxes of goodies!!

Oh quick!! MOM!!! Open them!!!

LOOK - a TEEPEE, (uh oh, mom will have to use all her brains to put that together!)

Isis will help.

Or maybe not.....

What's in this box??

OMC!! it's a quilt!!

a BIG, beautiful, HUGE, gorgeous, GIANORMOUS, splendid, unbelievable quilt!

Mom says she has dibs on it. We'll see about that.......

Can you believe it??

Mom can't imagine how many hours the OMC's biped put into that......

And see? More goodies for us.

Notice how Isis is hogging everything?

Dang, this smells good.

Mom, why isn't our nip this good?

Really, this stuff is super good.

Aha! Sophie must have smelled it.

Yep. I'm taking this one.

Is there more nip in there?

I don't care, I have this one....

See? All mine.....

I know there's more goodies,

I see the book, Party Mix and the rolled up bed cover....

But I'm busy right now.

I'm trying to absorb it by osmosis.

OK. I'll bite it.

Sophie spots the bed cover.

Not too sure about it yet.

Looks like it will be very comfy.

Too comfy for you, Isis claims it!!

And where were all the other kids? On the hot porch, sleeping. Just wait til they see all the wonderful Christmas in July goodies we got from the Ozark Mountain Cats. What a wonderful day. Thank you friends. You've made us all very happy :)

Why yes, I am a happy boy.

The Very Best Treat - Cat-Man-Doo Extra Large Bonito Flakes

2011-07-19T00:10:00.001-04:00

Something we ALL love. And that's never happened before. It's Cat-Man-Doo Extra Large Bonito Flakes.

No, that's not a new member of Peggy's Place. But what comes in the container is just as yummy as that kitty is. And guess what? The humans at Cat-Man-Doo are just super nice. They went well beyond expectations on an order I had sent to a friend. Good humans, I tell you.

So, if you want a special treat, tell your people to get you some of these yummy flakes!!

(This is the first time mom ever wrote about a company, so you know she's impressed.)

Romeo and Isis sure like boxes. Everywhere mom looked, they were the only ones mom could find. We all love boxes, mom just doesn't take enough photos of the rest of us :(

I went to the V - E - T today

2011-06-23T00:22:00.000-04:00

I had to get stabbed 2 times. Mom says I'm good for 3 years now and the county won't be sending nasty grams about licenses for a long time.

Isis vs pizza

2011-06-07T20:08:00.000-04:00

Isis just put her back foot in the middle of my slice of pizza.

Eat it or throw it out??

What would you do?

WOW!! Thank you so very much :)

2011-06-02T00:20:00.000-04:00

Mom never had so many "Happy Birthday's". Thank you CB for making my birthday so special. Love and hugs to all of you.

Another day at the groomer. Poor girl has such a bad time with mats, but since she won't let me touch her, I can't brush her. She's such a wild thing she has to be sedated for the groomer. So she's still wobbly and squinty eyed.

She can't pass up a sale. So this will be going on the porch to replace the one we destroyed. Mom found it on sale at Overstock.com. Search for "cat tree pet furniture".

Cat moms are Angels.

And when someone breaks our wings,

we simply continue to fly.....on a broomstick.

We are flexible like that.

2011-02-20T17:48:00.000-05:00

It's a thermal heat seeker.

And NO, it's not for hunting deer. It's for hunting cats in the house. She's tired of not being able to account for all of us before she leaves the house or goes to bed. (Jeannie is such a great hider!)

Happy Gotcha Day, Isis :)

2011-02-14T00:02:00.001-05:00

I'm off the pain meds and feeling better.

Thanks for all of your purrs.

Sophie

Poor Sophie has an ouchie

2011-01-03T12:11:00.000-05:00

Sophie was drooling and not eating yesterday. I looked in her mouth thinking a string or something was wrapped around her tongue. I saw a spot on it that looked infected, so off to the vet this morning. Here's the report. Poor baby.

JUDI !! Happy Birthday to you :)

2011-01-03T00:22:00.001-05:00

2010-12-17T23:53:00.000-05:00

Someone just peed on the pile of catnip mom just put down on the carpet for us. Who was it? And why?

CABINETS!!!

2010-12-15T16:04:00.000-05:00

See the open cabinet door? Mom did that so we wouldn't try to jump up and fall through. No counter top for a few more days....

It's going...... slowly.

2010-12-13T12:55:00.000-05:00

Big Fight

2010-11-19T16:49:00.000-05:00

Around 4:30 this morning there was a BIG fight. I think between Bob and Sophie. By the time I got up it was over and no cats were in sight. I think Sophie starts it with a look, and Bob the wimp becomes a gladiator. Had to search the house 3 times before I could find Sophie to check her for battle wounds. Ended up she was in Jeannie's hiding spot on the top shelf of the cat room closet. All's well, but didn't get back to sleep until 6 AM or so. Oh the joys of 7 cats :)

MY new Ham-Mick

2010-11-14T19:20:00.000-05:00

Mom somehow finagled a couple of Ham-Micks for us. THIS one is MINE. The rest of them can share the other one....

On lizard guard

2010-11-12T16:48:00.000-05:00

or maybe a sneaky squirrel

BUSTED!!

2010-11-05T00:20:00.001-04:00

Sophie tells all........

For the past 3 or so weeks, when mom does a head count, she couldn't find me. She always counts us before she takes the metal monster out of our garage. I wait until she gets real panicky, then just appear out of nowhere. Well, she saw me in my hiding place, behind her CD's!

Happy Birthday Romeo!!

2010-11-01T01:59:00.000-04:00

I'm 7 years old today. But I still look like I'm 2.

Mom counted last night. I purr 30 times in a minute :) 30 purrs per minute.

Is this some kind of joke?

2010-10-11T00:10:00.000-04:00

How did that ball get in there and why can't I get it out????

This is a nice campaign, not like the ones we keep seeing for the politicians on TV. This one is actually generating money for an animal shelter.

Some little pip squeak (but cute) is trying to beat Bob in the photo contest!! Please go here and vote for our Bob (he's the one Wishing). And while you're there, check out some of the great art by some super artists. This is the photo of Bob you click on to vote, you need to use your email, but it's safe.

Great Etsy Stores

2010-09-05T01:30:00.000-04:00

Mom was talking to her artist friend Linda tonight and she told her about a great Etsy store that the artist, Tammy, makes stuffed dolls that look like your cat taken from a photo. Her store is called Happy Hounds and her work is fantastic. The detail is amazing. Christmas is coming before you know it, and one of these dolls would make a great gift. We think you would like it too.

This is Linda's cat Kenzie - the photo and the doll. Cool, Huh?

Vote for Bob :)

2010-09-03T15:46:00.000-04:00

Bob is in a photo contest!! If you go here and enter your email it counts as a vote. We understand if you don't want to give out your email, but mom knows these artists and they're cool. You might even find some stuff to look at while you're there :) Thanks!

I HATE THIS PERSON

WARNING! GO NO FARTHER IF YOU'RE SQUEAMISH.

http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/local/hillsborough/reward-increased-in-cat-abuse-case-090210

When ever I hear about this kind of abuse, I wish I could have that person in my back yard ALONE for 15 - 20 minutes. I'm fuming, so pi$$ed off. At least the cat will be going to a foster home for healing.

Happy Gotcha Day Bob

2010-08-11T00:29:00.003-04:00

Three years ago I happily adopted Bob from the vet who was fostering him. He's still my Big Orange Boy.

Sophie - Miss Hissy

2010-08-09T00:21:00.001-04:00

Sophie has explored the whole house, but she's afraid of the porch.... She isn't afraid of any of the other kids, she's on attack mode with all of them and they seem to give her a lot of space. Even Queen Isis backs down! Bob smacks her back and they yell at each other. Sounds like they are killing each other, but they are 1 or 2 feet away from each other........

Ah, the good life.

WORLD CAT DAY

2010-08-08T13:47:00.000-04:00

Happy World Cat Day to all the wonderful cats and woofies and humans we've met in this wonderful place that's known as The Cat Blogosphere :) We love and worry about you more than we do anyone IRL. We love you because you understand us. You're like us. Only you know we have a new girl, Sophie. You don't judge, you celebrate with us that we now number 7. (should we name and claim our new spider?)

We thank you for your friendship. Love and hugs to you all.

EEEeeeeeeekkkkkk!!!!!!!

2010-08-07T00:57:00.001-04:00

Can you see his eye glow?

At least 3 inches across and we don't know where he went.................

UPDATE
we think he's a Huntsman spider
we haven't seen him again :)
