The Holidays.

We haven't posted much this month. Christmas especially is hard for mom so... We will return sometime in January. We love all of our furriends and hope your Christmas is a most excellent one. 

Mancat Monday: Shocking!

My furriends, a terrible, terrible thing happened! Actually it was TWO terrible things

Mom made up the bed without ME! 

Mom closed the door to keep ME OUT!

I just... I can't even... how could she? She says she didn't want a 10 minute process to turn into a three hour event. It's true both Leia and I went to sleep for a good long time during the last bed change but so what???

After she closed the door, I laid in front of it till she opened it again. 

And then I hopped up on that bed and gave her a serious talking to, believe me.

But then I worried that maybe I was just a bit too harsh, so I snuggled with her for awhile.

After all, one of us has to be the bigger species here.

Finally Friday

Yeaaa!!! It's that day that makes most hoomins very happy, especially our own. Enjoy it, furriends!

I, Leia, am pleased to announce a private showing of some of my finest art - the Chewed Paper.
The special corners edition, you understand. Can't find this just anywhere.

Mom says she sees impressionistic style; *I* say she is an ignorant peasant 

because as the artiste here, I was going for abstract.

Hoomins. No culture at all.

It's Tuesday

Mom, I'm so glad you turned the sun back on. Look at me, my orange was starting to fade. We gingers need a fair amount of sun time to recharge our batteries, you know.

Lately it's just been raining far too much.

Tiny Tabby Tuesday - Results Are In!

Excuse me for getting some rest here, it's been a long few days.

Mom said we got the blood work results today - and it's good news!

I don't have any signs of the big stuff, like kidney or thyroid or diabetes.

So yeaa!!

No one told Mom they also did a UA; *I* could have told her but she didn't ask about the stuff they did to me while I was out of the exam room. Hmpf.

Turns out I do have some bacteria but right now they aren't treating that, 

just said to keep an eye on my...um...facilities habits. They don't want to over medicate me.

Of course, the cause of my tender tummy is still unknown. So right now we are going to treat symptoms, maybe go on a fun prescription diet. 

We want to thank our furriends once more for their kindness, and for caring about me.

Unfortunately, we have to share some very sad news - Caroline, she of the most beautiful blue eyes, has passed to the Bridge. We have followed William of Mass Destruction for quite a few years now, and are heartbroken that she has gone on. Please visit her family if you can.

Happy Caturday

We hope all our furriends are having a good weekend. 

Our hearts go out to those in California; Mom says it's rough out there. 

This morning we were BOTH cat-handled, shoved into PTUs and whisked off to the Stabby Place. 

In the cold, even.

I, Tobers, just went in for my routine rabies vac. and exam. Once again, the mean vet lady said insulting things about my weight. They always do that. Like I can't hear them??  And once again, Mom was informed of how... stern... I was about the behind the scenes visit. They won't even examine me in front of Mom anymore, since I get very, very cranky about the whole thing. I have STREET CRED there now. 

Leia was - of course! - once again praised for her beauty and sweetness. (Shrimp-y suck up).

They stole her bloods and sent them off to some lab. We'll get results next week. 

We want to thank everyone who helped Leia get to the vet today, 

through green papers and/or purrayers. 

And now for something totally unrelated to anything with fur:

Check out this awesome video!

Sunday's Update

Yeah, yeah, I know this is pink BUT I am choosing not to care. 

It's in the purrfect place to hang out right next to Mom in the office room. I sit or catloaf here a lot.

And yes, technically it IS Leia's, sent to her by her special mancat, Brody. 

Speaking of Leia...

We had a quiet week and then last night, she started throwing up again. 

It's not bad so far, but it's clear that whatever made her sick before is still an issue. 

So we need bloodwork to see what's going on. 

I don't want to make a big deal of this in any way but this morning I started a GoFundMe for her. I hate doing this, and I strongly suspect there is no group asked for money more than cat people, but sometimes there is no other choice except to ask for help. Of course, purrayers and good thoughts for her are just as impawtant.

Ok, mom fixed the link, above. This time we supervised her. See what happens when you don't watch your people every second??

Thanks from all of us here.
