Home and a new furend!

2012-01-23T10:35:00.001-05:00

Hi innernet furends.
Me wants to tells you that we gets home last week.

When mommy comes to the V.E.T. me gets very cited and gets a happy-shaky tail. But then me thinks she must be just bisiting us at our new home. My happy tail goes into a upside-down J. Me wants to shows mommy that me is doing a gud job here so me does my normal V.E.T. patrol like me has been doing when me gets out of our room.

When me comes back to the wait room in my circle patrol, mommy is sitting on the floor waiting fur me. Me not can pretends no more, so me jumps in her laps, that already has a Squashies in it, and licks her fase that was watching me does my patrol and leaking.

When me and Squashies gets home, we is so happy! We not can believe that we is back.

Now me and Squashies is sticking very close to mommy and daddy. We sits on them whenever we can, so they not can go away again. We is back in our normal routine, cept we not wakes mommy until 7am in the morning acause that is when Aunt Michelle feeded us at the V.E.T. This seems to makes mommy very happy. Me not knows why, 3am seems a purfectly gud time to gets some noms!

So while mommy and daddy was away on their anniversary trips, me sneaks on the V.E.T.'s puter a few times and keeps up wif Admiral from the Rainbow Bridge. Her and her's mommy were very sad to has lost each other. Me does my best to heps, but you know... what can a kitty does?

Then Admiral tells me that she was sending another kitty to her mommy. Me was so happy to hears this! Admiral sais is a purrfect kitty fur her mommy. And then it happens!

So if you not has stopped by yet, goes and sais hello to Admiral's little sisfur Katie Isabella! Her is a very beautifur tuxie kitty who is doing an wonderfur job of taking care of her's and Admiral's mommy!

Welcome to the Cat Bloggiesphere Katie Isabella!

Why is me blacked-out?

2012-01-18T11:49:00.002-05:00

Me is joining mine fellow bloggers, Google, English Wikipedia, and other innernets sites to protest against The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), or HR 3261 and PROTECT-IP Act (PIPA). Me unnestands what mine Congressbeans is trying to does, but me finks this the wrong way to go bouts it.

Please joins me to contacts your congressbeans and tells them we has a concern about the language of these bills.

Some linkies to heps:

Petition your CongressBean (Google)

Petition your Senator (Stop American Censorship)

Hep! Me is getting lefted!

2012-01-03T10:29:00.001-05:00

So Daddy is taking Mommy to Hawaii fur their Anniversary. You might finks this is a nice fing. But IS NOT! Acause Squashies and me weighs too much to goes in Mommy's suitcase. So we has to stay here. (Also Mommy claims that me not allowed in Hawaii acause they not has rabies there so me would has to have a quarinteen.)

Mommy is taking us to stays with the great and wunderfur Dr. Seigal to stays in her's solarium room. We gets to takes our trees and our beds our toys and even our own fud and dishes, so it feels like home. Me can tells that Mommy is trying to act happy acause she wants us to know she is not mad at us and that she is coming back fur us, but me can tells mommy hasa sad. Somefing about the leaky face when she gives me mine morning after-shot lovings/brushings. Her just kept saying that she will come back fur us.

So me knows she hasa worry-worry that we finks she is throwing us away like our last mommy did, but me knows she not does that. Right?

Anyways, me and Squashies will be back in a few weeks with mine usual non-bloggingness.

Me and mine fambily wishes you and your fambily a Happy Mew Year!
Love, TK

Heresa picshur so you not furget me!

Thanksgiving dinner guest!

2011-11-24T12:02:00.001-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving to our U.S. furends!

As most of our kitty furends knows, our mommy and daddy takes care of a few wild kitties. Well one of the kitties, we calls him Boots, was a kitten lass year. Mommy noticed last month that now that him is a mancat, the other kitties not always lets him eats hims fud. Even now him is big, him is very much smaller than the other kitties.

The gud part is that him has been running up on our deck when the other kitties (or the foxes) chases him away. So mommy has been trying to gets him to come there to eats by putting fuds out fur him. After a while, him gets it and shows up fur his breakfast and dinners.

Then mommy makes him a house out of our Cabana that goes with our kitty walk system from ourVan. She also gives him his own special fud and water bowls. So she can picks up his fud after he is done so the other kitties, foxes and racoons not get any ideas to come eat here too. Yesserday night it was very windy and cold so we looks out with a anxious for Boots, and sees him in his house we makes!

A house out of the wind, with a cushion and blankie, and 2 escape routes.

Him was still tucked in and warm this morning when we comes down for breakfast. It was still dark, so mommy not gets a picshur. But her was very happy that he likes his new house. (We hopes he feels the same once we catchs him and gets him's hoo-haas removed!)

Two mancats getting to know each other.

So on this thanksgiving we are thankful fur all our kitty furends and their fambilies that shares their stories, loves and support throughout the year. And for our new outside kitty cousin, Boots!

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING, KITTIES!

Edit: We would likes to extend our deepest sympathies to our furends The Taylor Catsssss for the sudden loss of their dear kitty Seaborne Ruskin Taylor. We purr fur their comfurts.

Rain, Rain go away!

Ann of Zoolatry makes this fur us, isn't it great?

Today is a day of celebration and memory. Our mommy's life has been up-lifted,crushed and forever changed because of cancer. For 3 years she ran 3 cancer support groups on-line back when AOL was the main way to chat. Her groups were for children with cancer, young adults with cancer and a group for the parents of children with cancer. The groups were attended by hundreds each week. She also did intervention support for several local hospitals who would ask her to speak to young patients that were having troubles.

During that time she saw unnatural empathy and amazing bravery from the young warriors in her world. Their comedic antics could fill volumes. Their ability to suck every minute out of a good day was amazing. The lengths they went to make situations better for their families would break your heart. They were Living Strong before there was a term for it.

For all those young warriors, we give thanks fur their contribution to all our lives.

We would like to thanks Ann of Zoolatry and Jan, Milo and Alfie's Mom fur giving us this opportunity to remember openly.

Mommy's memberances.

Friends remembered:

Grandma, Brady, Tara, Harriet, Jonathan, Chris, Josh, Michael, Mom, Jen, April, Peter, Susan, Bob, Cathy, Sue, Christen, Justin, Brian, Jim, Rob, Jennifer, Tim, Angela, Megan and those online friends whose real names I never learned. Your families are in my prayers nightly.

Friends honored:

Autumn, Zach, Mike, Kristen, Mary, Lynda, Sharon, Pat, Wrinkle, Jackie and many online friends.

MoCats!

2011-09-09T10:15:00.000-04:00

Mommy not has lots of times to help us Blogs. Seriously kitties, she is staying up all the nights typing, but not fur our blog. Sometimes she starts typing slow, then she gets more of that brown stuff, what Squashies likes to try to bury, then she types fast again.

So we begs her acause we not wants to miss MoCats Day.

So here are some highlights of things what has been going on:
When we goes to BlogPaws we meets sweet Teri, Disco and Brighton riding in their strollar, (Teri was pushing, she not fits in the strollar,) and they gives us our very own "Curlz and Swirlz" swag bag fulls of such wonderful stuffs. Redmousie has been very lonely acause they gives us a oranj swirly thing what is yarn just like redmousie, only i can throws it up in the air and pounce it. Is my mew favorite toy! We gots lots of cool things in the bag, even some of that brown stuff what Squashies likes to try to bury just fur Mommy. Mommy takes picshurs but she hasa wait til work is not being stoopid to get them out of the camera.

At the BlogPaws I was in a interview fur the Petfinder.com it was very good, cept after about 10 minutes I was done being held by the pretty ladies and wanted to go splor more, so I just gets up, and leaves. Dis the advantage of walking on a leash, I can walk Mommy where ever I wants to go!

So asides from BlogPaws, way backs on August 28, our resident funny lady, Wendy, LOL'ed us! We just love all her LOLs and spends some time this morning going over the posts we has missed. Is a gud way to cure the blues this rain has put on us. Thanks you fur making us funny Wendy, you are special to highlight all the kitties!

Wendy's caption: Their home may be mobile, but TK and Squashies are definitely not!

Wendy's caption: How far the 'mite-he' has fallen!

Hopefully Mommy's big project will be done soon and we can have her back to ourselves.

Happy MoCats Day furends!

Thanks you!

2011-08-17T20:23:00.000-04:00

We finally gets home from our trips. We is so very sorry we not gets to blogs much, but the innernets not gud to post picshurs and mommy not has any pashuns.

So this what we did:

After we leeves Canada on July then we takes a nice leasurely tour through UpState Noo York, in search of some cools. First we goes to Rochester, Noo York where we gets ourVan last year. We stops at the woorld famous Jell-O museum.


Dis ourVan at the world famous Jell-O museum!

Okay so this not the biggest tourist place ever, but LeRoy Noo York is a very nice town. We spends the night there too. I sampled some of the grass in their village green, it was quite tasty!

Then we heads east and spends a night at a rest stops so we can gets to Syracuse, Noo York. When we gets there we stays the night at WallyWorld acause mommy needs to get the oil changed in ourVan. When we gets the oil changed, Squashies and me gets to ride up on the lift! Squashies not thinks this was too much fun and hides in her little hidey-hole under the bed that mommy makes fur her. I not likes the hidey-hole acause I can't fit in it, and I just knows that there are treats in there!

So then we finds this grate campground that has green lakes! (Don't ask Mommy about the picshurs from this part, acause she might starts to cry again.) The water was really green but not in a dirty way. I smells it, and it was not stinky or anything.

This campgrounds had chewy grass, but it was good, and when I goes for my walks in the morning and after dinners, all the childern cames to pet me! I was quite the star. One ladee takes my picshur with a card that sais "Cat on a leash". She was doing a scavanger hunt. She was very happy to see me.

We likes it there lots, and so we stayed a whole week. Mommy takes out ourFence so we can sit outside while she works. But don't worry kitties we not allowed to stays outside by ourselves. (We shows you a picshur of that later.)

All this purrty sure makes a kitty tired!

Then we spends the weekend driving through the back roads of the Adirondack. It was so purrty. Mommy stops lots to bisit with the peeple that has town fairs. It seems like all the towns was having art shows and stuffs that weekend! I gets to get out and sample all the grass, but Squashies not want to puts her harness on, so she guards ourVan while we walks.


This me sitting on top of a glacier rock in the Adirondacks. These big round rocks is everywhere in Noo York.

Then the next day we goes to takes a ferry ride to Vermont! It started out as fun, but then it gets the hots, and we not allowed to runs our engine or generator. Mommy gets a worry-worry and takes the big water bottle out of the fridge so Squashies and me can get a cool. We both lays down next to it for most of the trip.

ourVan on the Ferry from Port Kent, New York to Burlington, Vermont.

So then we drives through Vermont. Burlington is a nice city with lots of purrty houses. We drives until 6 oclock cause that's when we eats. Mommy finds a WallyWorld in Montipeller, VT so we stays there for the night. The grass their was delectable!

Then we goes to one of Mommy's favorite places: The White mountains in Noo Hampshire- "Home of the worst weather on Earth". Is ok, kitties, the weather is mostly bad in the winter.

Now I knows you has a picshur in your head about white mountains, but they is not white! But they is very cool. So while our poor Daddy has the hots at home, we was nice cool!
We stays at the Mt.Washington Cog Railway for a few days, as you can sees we has a nice place, and it was free acause Mommy has a park pass. As you can tells from the picshur, there was plenty of grass to sample. Let me tell you kitties, mountain grass is the bestest!

ourVan at the BaseCamp of the Cog Railway.

Then Mommy has to do laundries so we goes to town. (She not brings us toona like she did when she does laundry in Canada! Hmmph!)

After we has clean laundry we drives to the other side of the mountains to the Mt.Washington Auto road. We stays there for 2 nights to waits when Mommy not has to work so we can go up. But they not lets us go up in ourVan acause they sais we is too heavy. I offers to stay down acause I know I'm very heavy, but Mommy sais is all our stuff that is too heavy, not me.

This ourVan at the Auto road parking lot with a beautiful birch forest behind us.

The whole time we is in the mountains it not get hotter than 83f, most days it stays in the 70s. So we tells Mommy she should go up the Auto Road without us. So she rides up. Mommy loves history so was fun to go up on the 150th anniversary of the road.

We is going to stops now, acause the next part of our trip, we travels to Bar Harbor, Maine.

We hopes you likes our storee!

July in Ontario

2011-07-16T19:20:00.001-04:00

So we stays at Laurel Creek most of the times while we was in Ontario fur a monf. We had a pass for the whole time, but sometimes we stays at Mommy's furends' driveways. Twice we stays with Michelle, and lots of times with CarolAnn.

The beach, from the parking lot at Laurel Creek

The beach at Laurel Creek

Most of this parts of the trips is about how CarolAnn shares her fambily wif us. They has dinners and goes to the movies and even goes to the whine countries to gets whiny! (We nots go, Mommy leaves us wif the air condition so we not gets too hot.) It was VERY HOT!

We has lots of fun when CarolAnn's fambily comes to the van. Speshully when Katie, (CA's daughter,) comes acause she loves kitties and she pets us and gives us brushings.

Dis Katie and Squashies discussing the merits of red-mousie!

(Dis a bad picshur, mommy uses her cell phone so she not loose the foto-op.)

Now you would thinks that she not has her own kitty, she spends so much times wif us but she does. Him's name is Oliver, but him has lots of nick-names. She just has a big heart and loves all the kitties!

Dis Oliver in the window, him not allowed to goes outside either, so we not really meets; but him must be nice cause he is a grey kitty too.

This is CA's beuootifur house! Mommy sais is amazing in the insides too. But the insides belongs to Oliver so I stays out in ourVan, that belongs to me!

I do goes for lots of walks. Mommy not wants us to feels all cramped so we walks twice a day.

Dis me checking out the sidewalk at CarolAnn's.

Dis me and Squashies in CarolAnn's awesome back yard.

We does lots of fun things in Canada, but we not ever gets to bisit Cat's Cats, acause we only goes to Toronto once and we nots have the times to play.

So then we crosses back to the United States. And do you know what? They not wants to sees our papers again! But the TSA person had to gets in ourVan, and him was lergic to us! He nots bisits us very long....

Anyways, we was very sorry we nots gets to bisit the Canada kitties. Hopefully, next time mommy can works not so much. We loves our Canada kitties and we has a good time in your country!

Love, TK

Where the wild things are!

2011-07-12T08:56:00.001-04:00

Hello kitties! (This postie was builded on June 26, but we decided to shares it anyways. Mommy builds lots of pages then she not posts acause she gets busy.)

Yesserday we goes to African Lion Safari near Cambridge. And we has a very gud time! We gets to see all kinds of aminals, but bestly we got to sees Lions. ROAR! Mommy takes lots of picshurs. But we not can show some acause the big man-cat lion was being norty!

I wants to be a big man-cat lion when I grows-up, not only is him very beautifur, but also acause no one yells at him when he gets norty. No one sais "Lion no-no" to him!

Dis was a very gud time to go, acause all the aminals had babies.


Bison calf, just born. Notice umbilical cord is still attached.

Head butts!

Then the monkees gets on the cars and takes a ride. Monkey, No NO!

And this stripey-horsey not lets this car goes, even though all other places was empty. No one sais "Stripey-horsey ,No NO!" to him either.

Mommy also sees a bird show. She loves the raptors.

We hopes you likes our tour. We hopes to posts more abouts our trip soon. Including how Casper, Archie, Jimmy and Ben's mommy and daddy helps our mommy gets a parking space for ourVan in Toronto.

OOOO Canada!

2011-06-15T18:34:00.000-04:00

So on our ways to Canada we stops to sees some things, and we spends the night next to the big trucks. Then we goes to sees the Nigara Falls waters, which seemed terribly wet to me, but Mommy thought it was purrty.

Then we gets to the border, and after mommy gets all our paperworks ready, they not wants to sees anything but Mommy's little passyport book. Like we isn't impurrtant! Then the man in the little house asks Mommy when she was leaving, and when Mommy sais she not knows, the man sais they not wants her to stay furrever. Then Mommy sais she not going to stay furrever acause our Daddy would miss us too much. So then the man sais we can go to Canada!

So right now we is hanging out in ourVan after having several days of spending late nights at Mommy's furrend frum works. She is a very nice lady who gives us scritches! But now we hangs out with Mommy at our camp site in Canada. Mommy sais we is in Waterloo, but is not wet here like it was at the Niagra Falls.

We hopes all our furrends are having fun!
Love, TK

Power of the Purrs, and looking up!

2011-06-10T12:05:00.000-04:00

Hello every kitty! I wants to thanks you fur all of your purrs, advices and loves from across the innernets. I feels very Blessed to has such wonderfur furends!

So now fur the good news!

I has been on Humulin for a long times, but suddenly it stops working for me. We has been increasing the the amounts over the last week, but still it not works. So on Tuesday the great and wonderful Dr. Siegel puts me on ProZinc. I starts to feel better almost instantly!

Yesserday, with the harmony of hundreds of purrs buzzing through me, we goes to the V.E.T. for the offishul test. After they steals my blood, everyone in the room waits for the results. Suddenly, the great and wonderful Dr. Siegel cheers and does her happy dance. My sugar is normal! And my Mommy starts to cry AGAIN! Can you believes it?

Next time Mommy tries to takes me to the V.E.T. I thinks I will has to refuse to go... on the grounds it always makes her cry.

I wants to thank you all again, it helped my Mommy lots to has your supports!

We is sorry, and Diabetes worry-worry

2011-06-08T13:23:00.000-04:00

I knows we hasn't been posting in a very long time. Mommy has been very busy lately and not has had time to helps us. We is very sorry to leaves you like that. We has been bisiting our furends when we cans, but not like we should. To catches you up:

The winner of the guesses in our last post oh-so-many months ago was Simba and Old Kitty and Charlie, acause our bisitor was DADDY, who comes down on the auto train to sees us. Daddy and Mommy bisited Kennedy and goes on nature drives all over. Then Daddy had to go back home.

Then we gotted to see the orbiter Discovery land at Kennedy. We stays in Titusville for 3 weeks!

Then we goes down to south Florida to bisit Grandma and Pop-Pop for a weekend, but we kept staying for 3 weeks. Then Grandma and Pop-Pop came home but we stayed for 3 more weeks. We not wanted to leave Florida until it gots warm. (But now we is too hot!)

We gotted home from Florida on April 18th.

TK and Squashies relaxing in Florida

And now we was getting ready to goes to Canada to bisit Mommy's work. But then something not-so-good happens.

As you might knows, I has had diabetes since I comes to live with Mommy. She gives me shots 2 times a day. I was doing good with my shots for almost 3 years; until 2 weeks ago, when out of no where my insulin stops working. We is trying a new insulin, but so far it is not working either. I tries hard to studies for my blood tests and I has losted 3 whole pounds. But it not works anyway...

I think Mommy is ascairt and she holds me and cries when we gets home from the V.E.T. yesterday. I not wants my Mommy to has a sad, and I knows the power of the purrs. So could you gives me some purrs? I promises I does my part to gets better too.

Love, TK

Our SpaceShuttle adventure- days 6, and 7

2011-03-02T08:49:00.001-05:00

Sorry we have not been keep up. Things have been very busy.
When we last left our story we had camped a wonderful view on Route 1 all day Wednesday, in a place where the Titusville police said we could stay the night.

As our story picks-up: a park ranger came in the evening to say we couldn't stay, and that there was a 'better' place 4 miles north of where we were. So we went from being 4 miles to 10 miles from pad 39A. We were pretty sad. But did what we were told...

So we ended up near the entrance to the nature reserve. Actually all of Kennedy Space Center is a nature reserve. 220 square miles of it. How cool is that?

This was our home for the night. We dry-camped here, (that means we didn't have any hookups, so we lived on what we had in ourVan,) for the night until late the next day.

Notice the space in front of the campers? That won't be there by launch time.

STS 133, Discovery Launch Day
When we woke up the next morning, the 1,000 or so RVs at the site had swollen to nearly 5,000 vehicles, as the day watchers came in cars. Every available space was used. It was one big launch party. People were having fun, and generally being nice to one another. It was awesome.

Mommy went out at lunch, and was sad to see that her new spot was at least 10 miles north of the NASA industrial park. But she could see both shuttle pads. So it wasn't so bad.

Then it was time to get some work done. Mommy had orginally taken the day off, but an emergency had her in ourVan, coding a break-fix for a client. (Mommy writes computer code to pay for ourVan and our gushifud.)

As the count-down got to 60 minutes, mommy was still working. I could tell she was stressed that she was going to miss the launch. 30 minutes before the scheduled launch, she got it done, she gave us a skritch, and took her camera and binoculars and set out to find a spot.

I mention mommy's stress only because at 15 minutes to launch they had a "hold" because the range system was off-line. Now the range/tracking system is very important because the computers actually launch and drive the shuttle until it gets into orbit. So the many steps it takes to get there depend on the tracking system to know when to do everything. If this system isn't working correctly, it could be very bad. Some poor-smart-guy, had 5 minutes to get the system fixed, or the mission would be scrubbed for the day. This made mommy laugh at her own small stresses.

The poor-smart-guy did a good job, and at T -5 minutes, the system was up and running. Now I know he couldn't hear it, but a huge cheer went up for him, where we were. Then they all found a place to see the pad. And the crowd got very quiet as radios followed NASA's transmissions.

Mommy had Auntie SheShe on her phone, who was monitoring the status on the TeeVee. Now she should have known something was wrong, when they started the final count and she didn't see any venting gases on the pad everyone in our group was watching. But she figured they were just too far away. That's right, kitties, Discovery was taking off from Pad 39A, and she had her camera on Pad 39B. The really sad part is that 39A was behind the single palm tree in the southern view. Oh well...

And then, Discovery was off, for the very last time... (click the photos to enlarge)

Rocket booster separation

Kitties, I know it is impressive, but our mommy's face was leaking when she came back!?!

We had a surprise visitor over the weekend, can you guess who it was?

2011-02-23T12:49:00.001-05:00

Hello Every Kitty. It's me, Sqaushies with our trip update.

As you can see we're all just chilling and having a great time. On Monday, we hung out at 'The Home Depot' because they have the best wifi. We stayed in the parking lot the whole day while mommy worked. Even though it was very hot outside, we were nice and cool inside.

As you can see from the picture above, we have the bed made up so mommy can store stuff under it. She leaves the comforter on so we have a place to curl up and sleep during the day. A kitty has to get her beauty rest.

This is TK doing what he does, even at home- taking mommy's seat when she gets up. It doesn't matter if mommy is sitting on a hard stool, if she gets up, TK wants to sit there. "On your feet, loose your seat!"

This is our van in the parking lot of paradise. You can see that mommy is not so good at coloring in the lines!?!

And this is a cow truck that came by to get some stuff at The Home Depot. TK said I had to get on the truck, because I'm a cow-kitty. But I said "NO!"

So on Tuesday we goes to our camping site. Now we know our furend Daisy is very famous! And we know that Florida is HER state. But did you know that we are camping on a street named after her? It is true!

Mommy forgot to take pictures of our site, but we'll get some when we go back. Because....

Today we are getting ready for the Shuttle launch and our new furends at the campground (they have 3 kitties- we'll get pictures of them too,) said we have to find a place today because their won't be any places tomorrow. So this is where we are.

Not a bad place to have an office!

This is the view out mommy's office window!

Uh-Oh I don't think that birdie can read the sign!

I hope he doesn't get eaten!

That's our update for today!

We would likes to ask our furends to sends some purrs fur our cousin cat, Riley who is very sick and in the hospital. Get better soon Little Riley, Uncle Tony needs you!

Our SpaceShuttle adventure- days 1 and 2

2011-02-21T09:22:00.000-05:00

Hello every kitty, TK here with the news of our aventure!
So we not gets to post yesterday acause some stuff happens. It was all very exciting!
First we gets on the 95 road that goes all the way from our house to where the space shuttle takes off. And we is going along just fine when we sees a big smokes in the air.

And then we sees this- The big smokes goes right across the 95 road!

So this where we stays for the first 3 hours of our trips! We sees all the peoples with their hands all white knuckle on their steering wheels. Mommy says they has a big stressed. But mommy turn on our generator and makes a pot of coffee and some poppycorms and gives me my brushings while we watch all the goings on like being in a movie. We sees all the firemans (just like our Daddy!) running around trying to puts out the brush fire in the 50+ mpg winds. There was fires on both sides of the 95 road. They sure had their hands full! It was a very big aventure!

So then we gets to Washington DeeCee, and we sees 5 more brush fires alongs the way, but none that stops traffic. At one we has to get diverted to the middle lanes, so we is not near the fires. Mommy sais that is these are for added over-flow durin rush hour and get switched in direction depending if everyone is going to work or coming home.

So then we has dinner at North Caroline welcome center, and we takes a nap, so Sqaushies can digest and not has a sick. We all just piles in the big bed and snoozed away!

So then we gets going again, but when we gets to Fayettesville, NC, mommy has a big tired so we goes to our favorite campground- Walmart! But at 4am it was 45 degrees in ourVan. Squashies and I were doing our part to keeps mommy warm- I sleeps on mommy's head and Squashies sleeps on her tummy. When mommy wakes up she laff-n-laff at us cuddled up.

But was too cold for going back to sleeps, so mommy decides the best way to warm up is to drive. So we starts driving again, in the middle of the night!

Then, when it was breakfast times, we stops at a Flying J truckie stop. We had our breakfast, and I gets my diabetes shots, then we goes back to sleep until is real morning.

Then we drives and drives. Does you know they has a race call Daytoona? I can't imagine racing toona. But they does, and we drives by. They had miles and miles of tents. Peoples were camping to see the toona race!?! And this just what we can sees from the 95 road.

Anyway, we gets to Florida, safe and sound. We tells you more tomorrow!
Love, TK

Heading out

2011-02-18T12:51:00.000-05:00

Hatted By Sammy and Andy's mama!

So we are heading out on our first big solo trip in ourVan. Hopefully, there will be many pictures to share of our journey!

We are going to Titusville, FL. to see Discovery launch. Hopefully the shuttle will make her window, so we can see.

The trip will start early tomorrow, and we plan to take 2 days to get there, so we can go at a leisurely pace. Mommy says she is just going to stop when she doesn't want to drive anymore.

We will post when we gets to our night spot, probably somewhere in North Carolina.

Thank you, and Good Karma!

2011-01-26T11:28:00.004-05:00

Two Fur Toesday- Comment-a-thon continues!

2011-01-25T11:32:00.001-05:00

Hello Bloggie Furends, Squashies here, napping on a cold winter's day!
We wants to thank all the kitties that commented on our blog-post yesterday. We were very warmed to see all the nice comments we got from all the great kitties in the Bloggiesphere! So mommy wants to gives more to our shelter. So she asks that I tell you that she is extending our comment-a-thon for another day. So if you are a kitty, and you haven't commented yet, could go over to that post, and leave a comment so we can give lots of green-papers? See our furends over at Small Miracles is having the same hard times a lot of shelters are having with the weather so cold. Miss Moira has such a big-heart, she can't turn kitties away. So we want to do all we can to help her.

Thanks again, for your comments, we love to read them!
Love, Squashies

Mancat Monday

2011-01-24T10:10:00.002-05:00

Happy Monday, Kitties! Our very good furend, the great and wonderful Brian, who is a amazing adopshun spokes-cat, tells us today is "ShelterAware" day that is started by our new furend Kiki. So I wants to talk about that fur my mancat monday post.

Brians sais this day is about sharing! We needs to heps the kitties what not has homes yet. So Squashies and me will has a comment-a-thon for the rest of the day to help Small Miracles Cat Rescue. We gives $1.00 for EVERY comments we gets from every kitty. (So if you has more than one kitty, each should be aloud to makes a comment!)

As most of you knows, Squashies and me was shelter kitties fur a very long time at Small Miracles Cat Rescue. They takes very gud care of us while our mommy has to find us, to take us home. (You can reads a little bit about our story here.) It is very scary to be a old kitty in a shelter, acause you has to compete wif the kyoot kittens, who needs furever homes too. Theres just too many kitties. So we needs more humans!

So we thinks: What if every human that is owned by a kitty takes today to find one other human that not has kitties and tells them how great we is!

So that is our plan. Will you help us?

Mancat Monday

2011-01-17T09:21:00.000-05:00

Hi Furrends, TK here with my mancat Monday report.
We had a good weekend. On Friday, Daddy brings home shrimps fur dinner. Nuff said there!

On Saturday, after we hides from the suck-monster for the morning, we all settles in on the couch to watch the Futball game. Mommy decides me and Squashies gets a treat every time the Ravens scores. We thinks this was going to be pawsome as we gets 3 treats in just a hour. But then we not gets anymore treats the whole game!?! We not knows what happens...

In other news, we would likes fur our furends to purr for our dear furend Annie over at Fuzzy Tales. She is having a hard time and could use some gud vibs.

So today is Dr. Martin Luther King Day, here in the States. He was a great man that helps a lot of peoples. We honors his memory!

Have a great Monday!
Love, TK

Happy Birthday, Marilynn! And OurVan Update.

2011-01-13T08:09:00.001-05:00

Happy Birthday, Marilynn!

So I know I should tell you about all that we've been up to, but to be honest, we've not been up to much. We eat, we sleep, we cuddle with mommy, and we sleep some more.

TK has been having some very good V-E-T visits. His weight loss has steadily increased and is now about 2 ounces per month. He has lost 2lbs. since mommy first came to take us to our furrever home. He weighs 19lbs 6ozs. Way-to-go, Big brofur!

OurVan waits, poised to begin our adventures! Mommy is starting to plan our trip. We are going to Titusville, Florida, on the last week of February, to see a Space Shuttle launch. Originally we were going to see Endevour (STS 134), but now we might get to see Discovery's last launch (STS 133). Mommy says we are staying until a Shuttle takes-off. I hope we have lots of food. These things are ~~unpor~~, ~~unpred~~, it's very hard to know when it will happen.

After we watch the rocket, we are going down to West Palm Beach to visit our Grandma and Pop-pop! We are very excited for that part of the trip because we've never seen their snow-bird home! I wonder if we will be allowed to catch the snow-birds. Mommy always says "Squashies, No-No," when I stalk the birds on our deck.

Anyway, that is all the plans for now. We hope every kitty has a great day!
Love, Squashies

OMG, OMG, OMG! Sparkles gets a furever home!

2011-01-12T11:38:00.002-05:00

Sparkles

That's right Kitties, this purrty girl has a new Furrever Home.

Sparkles, who was being cared for by the great and wonderful Cat's with your Coffee, is going to her new furrever home at Kat's Kats!

So Jimmy went to Cat's Cats and Sparkles, who is Jimmy's sisfur, went to Kat's Kats. What do you think of that? We just loves a happy ending!

In other news, Sammy and Andy flyed over to Auntie Deb's today to gives us the updates on her procedure. She could really use some purrs. So if you could stops by and gives a little cheer, it would sure be nice.

We hopes to give you a update on us sometime soon but we wants to share all this important stuff.
Love, TK

Sammy and Andy's mama makes this hat for me!

Hello Bloggie Furends. It has been a very long time since I've last posted. I'm very sorry about that. We have missed all of you!

So I wanted to fill you in on the goings-on.

We spent the night in ourVan at our Auntie SheShe's house for New Year's Eve. It was very fun, and we proved that, even though it was very cold outside, we could stay nice and toasty-warm in ourVan.

Our daddy came and slept in ourVan too! It was very neat to have him with us, the whole fambily safe and warm- togefur.

TK does a funny thing when we are in ourVan and it is cold- he sleeps on mommy's head the whole night! Daddy Laff and Laff the next day because TK was on the whole pillow and mommy only had a tiny sliver to sleep on. Mommy sais she didn't mind because she likes when we are all togefur in a kitty cuddle-puddle. Then, instead of saying "I love you Tiny Kat," like usual, she sais "I love you Tiny Hat" for the whole next Day! We might need to change TK's nickname to TH...,

Anyway, we hopes everyone has a great weekend.

Don't forget that our dear furend Billy SweetFeets is hosting the Carnival of Cats this weekend!
Love, Squashies

Happy Birthday, Auntie Judi!

2011-01-03T02:00:00.010-05:00

Today is Sammy and Andy's Mama's birthday. So we does a speshul post just fur her. We just loves all of them so much! They has always been so nice to us, even when we just first meeted. They makes everyone feels like they are speshul and includeded in the bloggiesfear.

They gives us hats-

And they lets us join all their clubs-

You are Very Speshul!

The Suprise, at last!

2010-12-23T10:42:00.001-05:00

Hi Everybody, TK here. It has been a very long time since we has been able to post. Our mommy has a very big busy with work and the 'suprise' we talks about a few months ago. But we has been keeping up wif our furends on the quiet.

So here is what happens for the last 3 months:

We gets a wonderfur pressant frum our Auntie Deb, who gives us TWO munkeys from Sammy and Andy's auction acause me and Squashies was trying out-bid each ofur. Then she also gives mommy a beautifur kitty bracelet and earrings too! Mommy actually squealed when she sees them. Auntie Deb is really speshul to takes such good care of all our furends with her's auctions and to gives our mommy such a wonderful gifts.

I gets hatted by Sammy and Andy's mama! Thank you Mama, I loves my new hat!

So we also buys Attie's Shmarshmellows for a Christmas party that mommy goes to. (We were not invited...humph!) She also not gets Audrey's Kitteh Krak Treats, so we were not impurressed. Mommy promises to buys the kitteh treats after Christmas when she gots time to cooks fur us. Anyways, Mommy sais I should tells you that the Shmarshmellows are delishus and that everyone should try them.

On to the surprise that you all has been waiting for furever....

This is it:

our Van

That's right kitties, Mommy buys us a Van! Is for us! She sais if we not likes it, she would sell it acause she not wants to go anywheres wifout us, eber.

Here we are exploring our Van for the first time!

See Mommy has this dream to takes-off across the country and sees the sites. For a job my mommy writes computer code from home for a company all the way up in Canada. So one day she thinks "With the innernets, I can writes code from anywhere!" (She thinks it juss like that- plural verbses and everyfing!) For a long time she not thinks this will work, acause we not likes to even get in the car, and she not wants to go without us. But then she sees that little Emily thinks living in a van is fine. So she decides she will try.

So when Mommy first gets our van, we goes on a weekend Halloween camping trip wif our Auntie SheShe and Gramma and Pop-Pop to Gettysburg. Is not very far, and Squashies and I cries and cries when we was driving. And Squashies has such ascairt that she has a pukes. But once we gets there and sees that all our foods and toys and treats comes too, we decides we likes to camp. Ebery night mommy makes the big bed and we all piles on juss like at home!

During Saturday I gots to wear my harness and helps mommy hand out cannies to all the ghosts and goblins that comes to our campsite and yells "tricks or treats". Of course, everybody was petting me and saying how handsome I am. And there was a lady who was camping next to us that has a kitty too! Her kitteh had a costume and everything. She has a hissy, (the kitty, not the lady) when I goes over to sais "hi", so I leaves her alone and sits with my mommy.

Then I gots to get in Gramma and Pop-Pop's camper to bisit, and they has a doggie and we gets along very well cept once when she tries to sniff my Spot #13, then I had to gives her the hissy-swippy. But I not uses my claws, I just pat-pat her nose. She not tries that again!

When we goes home from Gettysburg, we not cries after the first five minutes. Mommy seemed happy about that.

So then Mommy does lots of things in our van to makes us more comfortable. She makes a fense to goes around the awning outside so we can get in and out of our Van to has lots of roorm to play when she has the door open (and she can watch us.) Then she takes out the little night stand thingie and makes us a cat tree that hooks to the frame of our van by metal brakets. It also comes out and has little feets so she can put it outsides when we are in our fense. She works with lots of power-tools we not even knows she knows how to use! She worked and worked for lots of hours.

The night table that gotted removed

our Cat Tree

Then we all goes down to Huntsville AL, to bisit our Auntie Bethie in Novermber! This was a very long drive, but we not cries at all, we juss sleeps in our cat tree.

We has a week long bisit. We gots walks in the morning then mommy worked during the days and then she and Auntie Bethie has a bisit in the nights. Some nights we went sight-seeing in our Van; Huntsville is a very purrty town. Then mommy sleeps with us in the van. Uncle Mike has a lergic to us so we not gets to go in the house. But we not minds acause mommy sais this was our 'shake-down trip' so we can sees if we can do this, so is best if we pretends we not has a house to go in anyway.

So we will shows you more about our Van in the coming months, acause we are going to blog about our trabels. Maybe we can even bisit some of our bloggie furends along the way!

Femme Friday

2010-09-17T08:39:00.000-04:00

Hello Bloggie-Furends. I just wanted to stop by to let you know that we are all doing fine here. We sure hope you are all doing fine too!

Mommy has been working a lot on these three projects she has from works. So instead of helping us blog, she spends her spare time playing with us.

There is one other thing she has been working on. She is getting something special for all of us, but it's a surprise, so we'll be showing that in about 2 weeks.

So in other news, a week ago, mommy saw a doe on the side of the road that had been hit by a car. She was very sad because our doe and her fawn had not been by to eat bird corns, so she thinks it might have been OUR doe. But then yesterday, out of no where she and her little fawn, which has lost it's spots, came by for a snack. Mommy was so happy she started to cry. (And she cried so much she didn't take one picshur... not one!) It was a happy time. We likes when our mommy is happy!

So mommy tells me to tell you that we will still not be around fur about 2 more weeks, while she gets everything squared away. We misses you!

Love- Squashies

We won't be able to bisit for a few weeks

2010-08-30T22:11:00.000-04:00

Our mommy has to take a break from helping us blogs for a few weeks cause her work needs her.
We promises we be back as soon as we can.
Love TK and Squashies.

Tracking Tuesday- "History of the Cat Blog"

2010-08-24T09:32:00.023-04:00

Hello TK and Squashies' mom here. Squashies told me that some of you kitties were interested in the research we were doing together about the Cat Blog world. She asked if I would explain our methodology.

The way we started was simple: we looked for the longest blogging kitties we could find and then clicked on their earliest posts' commentor's links to see when each of the commentors started. It sounds simple enough right?

There are 3 major problems with this approach- a) large social groups tend to clusters in to like-minded subsets, so getting a true picture of the whole kitty blog world requires more than one “Origin Blog”, b) getting caught in the web of crossing links can be daunting; c) reading blogs in the order they were written is a lot of fun… and tremendously distracting.

Quite a few of you have volunteered to help out with the project, so what I would like to propose is that we make Tuesday our Tracking post day. We will publish what we have to date in that post and anyone that has anything to add they can post in the comments. Your data will be added on the following Tuesday. This also allows us to archive the research we do. I'm not sure how we should present our data so if anyone has ideas, I would love some advice. I'd like to keep it relatively simple to start, but chosing a final format may dictate the data we collect. For instance the most detailed format would be to do a relationship chart. (Like the one that was popularized by The L Word.) This would require all origin-blog searches be documented individually, and all commenters recorded. This is probably more work than anyone has time for, and would quickly burn-out out researchers, which would mean we would end up with nothing at all. (But wouldn't that be cool!)

Anyone that would like to help add a new line (origin-blog,) can volunteer to search a specific blog, you can even if you want to start with your own blog. We’ll add/update your selected blog as an origin-blog in the list below with an asterisk before the name and the name of the researcher after the blog and start date. This should mitigate redundant searches.

I have three requests:
1) If everyone can make sure that they have an Archive button somewhere in their sidebar, it would make researching your blog a lot easier. If we can't find your 'first post' you can't be counted!
2) If we want this to be accurate we MUST have a link (documented proof) that supports any claim we make. Even if that link is just to someone else’s blog post for which the blogger in question has commented.
3) If you see an error, omission (especially older blogs) we want to know!

So here is what I have so far-

Mancat Monday

2010-08-23T07:00:00.005-04:00

Hello furends, it's me, TK with my mancat monday post!

First, Squashies and I would likes to thank everyone who came to our Gotcha Day Party. We feels really loved that our furends comes to help us selabrate! We gives a donation to our Small Miracles Rescue and they were very happy to get it. They sends us email to thanks all of you for helping them help the forgotten kitties.

Mine mommy was quite the surprized that so many had an interested in the little history thing she has been doing. She sais it was just something she was doing fur herself acause she loves history and she loves our bloggie furends. But now she sees that other kitties might wants to know too, so maybe we can does it together so it goes much quicker. She will do a post later this week to tell of her methodology so maybe we can come up with something better or everyone can participate with little facts they knows that aren't easy to sees with the way she does it. (We gets lots of those in our last post, and now mommy has a excited again.)

So now here is my post:
Mommy trims my lawn afore the party, so now its all prickly, but I still goes out in the drizzle this morning to get in it, but then the rains come down hard, and I has to run in to the house. Squashies an mommy was laffin at me, but I not cares, cause I gets to eat some grass.

So thats all that happens, so I thinks I'll go settle down and read some of my furends' blogs!

Has a great Monday kitties.

2010-08-20T09:56:00.027-04:00

Hello Bloggie Furends, it's Squashies, with my Femme Friday Post!

I'm sure everyone knows what a rough week it has been in the Cat Blogsphere. August 18, 2010 has been called "the day of tears". On that day we lost four blogging kitties. Luxor, Eric, Molly and Winnie.

To most of us freshmen bloggers these first two kitties are, simply put- Legends. They were part of a small group of pioneering kitties that, through their actions, defined our blogging world and taught many of us to explore our own thoughts and share them with others.

On January 2006 Eric made his debut from London. He was greeted by other Legends such as Abby, The Crew, Derby, Dolce, Little Cat Feet, Max, the Meezers, Oreo, Patches, Skeezix and others. His blog is a great read, if you want hours of entertainment, I highly recommend you read it- start to finish. It is a funny, witty, amazing chronicle of the life of Eric. Of course the end will break your heart.

As near as I can tell, Luxor came online in September 2006* He was greeted by Greats: Daisy, Derby, Eric and Flynn, Junior and Orion, Little Cat Feet, Max, the Meezers, Millie, Rosie and Cheeto, Skeezix, Speedy, William, and others. His blog is also a wonderful read. The photography is often stunning and the stories are a fun and well written tail of this whitest of cats. You should read it all, you won't be disappointed!

Molly's Alexi started blogging in February 2007. She was greeted by Chey, Daisy, KarenJo, the Meezers, Skeezix and a few others. This also a fun blog with interesting topics like cat shows and breeding. Definitely worth reading!

You might wonder why I mention the greeters of these kitties. The truth is that I think of them as a big family. They have all been friends for a very long time. Together they have laughed, teased, celebrated, taught, learned, helped each other through difficult times; and they have mourned as a family.

I am fairly new to the bloggy world, and I have cried, hard, for these kitties. I can only imagine how I would feel if we had grown up together.

So for all of you that have paved the way for all of us- we are sorry for your loss, and we purr for your comfort.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

The lists presented here were not exhaustedly researched; if you belong in any of these lists please let me know in your comments. We turly want to honor you!
My mommy is researching the history of the CB and the "Legends of the Blog", but it is very tricky stuff, and she doesn't have a lot of time to devote to it right now. If you would like to help please let us know!

*There are some earlier posts, but they were not content, Luxor may have ported from another venue.

Our 2nd Gotcha Day!

2010-08-17T22:19:00.003-04:00

Hello Furends! Today, August 18th, is our 2nd Gotcha day. We have had 2 wonderful years with our furever mommy and daddy, and we have invited all you to our furever home to celebrate with us. So please feel welcome!

We have all our best toys scattered about the house and on the deck. There are refreshments in the dining area- with delicacies from our area. We have crabcakes, oysters, clams, ham and lightly grilled steak! We hope that you all have a good time.

While you are enjoying the party- we ask that you take a few minutes to purr for all the kitties that don’t have a home yet. We purr that all kitties find a furever fambily that they can love, just like we have!

Femme Friday

2010-08-13T13:31:00.001-04:00

Hello Blog Furends, it's me- Squashies with my Femme Friday Post!
I has decided to use the picshur that Sammy and Andy's mommy makes as my permenant Fem-Friday reporter head shot.

Speaking of Sammy and Andy- today is Andy's 10th Birthday- so if you haven't already, swing by and say hi to him.

It has been a hard week on kitties this week, as you probably know Chey and Sniffie both had surgery yesterday. We are purring that they will feel better real soon.

It's a bit rainy here today so I didn't go out on the deck this morning. TK, however was undaunted and ran out to get in his lawn. Silly boy... Eatting grass in the rain.

Other than that- we are looking forward to a quiet weekend. We hope you all have a wonderful time!
Love-Squashies

Purring fur Sniffie and a Reward.

2010-08-12T10:27:00.003-04:00

Today Sniffie is hasing her surjery. If you gets a chance, stop by and tells her fambily we is thinking of them.

Speaking of purrs- we not heards from our dear furend Herman in a long times. Does anyone knows of him and hims mommy KarenJo? We has a worry-worry.

So our new friends over at Furbaby Chat! gives us this lobely reward! We is so honored that they thinks of us. Thank you Lauren and the Furbabies!

So the rules is:

1. Thank the puppy, kitty or person who gave you the award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who "you have recently discovered and you think are fantastic!"

So dis my list (answered by TK)

Our mommy 'dopted me and my little susfur when we was mature. We not knows how mature we is, but the vets spects we were anywhere from 5 to 10 when we gets 'dopted.
We has lived with mommy fur almost 2 years. (And our gotcha-day is coming up! August 18.)
I has a lawn that my daddy plants fur me. It has nice wheat grass that I can nom and snuggles down in when we has the hots.
Sometimes I lets Squashies gets in my lawn. I not ever chases her out, cause she deserves to sits in the lawn sometimes- even though it is my lawn, planted for me by my daddy.

My lawn also has a tomator plant in with it. This makes extra shade in the late afternoons when I sits in my lawn.
Tomators are very fun to bat around on the decks, but they are not very delishus.
"Delishus" is a wurd I learned from my friend Daisy the Curly Cat!

Now I has to pass the award along to 15 bloggers who "you have recently discovered and you think are fantastic!"

This a very hard thing, acause I loves all my bloggy furends. We is new to blogging, all our furends is recent discoveries so we not chooses by who has been blogging shortest. We puts our list in alfabetical orders so no one finks we loves them more. (If you wants to see our real lists- looks in our sidebar!)

Mancat Monday

2010-08-09T08:29:00.000-04:00

Hi Bloggie Furends, TK here with my mancat monday post.

This me, hanging out in my lawn during the not-so-hots.

It has been not-so-hots the last 2 days, and I has been taking avantage by hanging out on the deck. As you can see, my lawns is getting long again, but mommy not has time to helps me trim it acause her work is being opressive again. I not really minds acause it is fun to honker down into the cool grass.

So lots of things has come to our feeder, we sees the baby deers again, but then, while they was eatting the berries, a big mandeer comes along and chases the mommy deer into the woods. The little baby deers stayed all by their selves for a few minutes then they runned after the mommy. I not know what that was all about. (Mommy is sorry she not gets a picshur of the baby deers for you- she not could get the camera quick enough.)

But she does gets a picshur of one of the ferals that we has dopted. This is "Socks".

Socks comes around for a bite to eats every once in awhile. The summer menu is a normal calorie mix, acause we not wants the kitties to gets too fat to get away from the foxes.

In other news we gets our order from Alice and Jane, and mommy is very 'cited that I might finds a toy-furrend that I love that is not "red mousie". See "red mousies" are made by a very nice old lady that not can makes them anymore. Mommy has been afrantic acause the remaining "red mousie" is really getting teared up. (She thinks I not knows there has been more than one, but I does.) She has been fixing him as best she can, but she not really good with those things. So she has been trying to finds me something else that I might loves as much as "red mousie". So this is what might be my new "red mousie" a fun toy that bats around, but not fits under the couch.

TK playing with new toy-furrend TNT, with the very last of the old "red mousie"s to the right.

I not sure I is ready to give up "red mousie", he has been my favorite toy-furrend for a very long time.

Anyways, has a good Monday bloggie furrends!

Yesserday it gets very dark in the middles of the day. The sky was green! I not knows that could happen. Then the winds blows and the boomies come too. I is not a coward, but I was worried that mommy might be ascairt so I crawls in her lap and puts my head under her arm.

Mommy sais we gets lucky, the storms not hit us directly. We purrs fur all the peoples not so lucky.

So after the storm, we goes on the deck and then we has crabbycakes fur the dinners. We gets some too, but Squashies not want hers, so I heps her eatted it.

Hello Bloggie Friends, TK here with my Mancat Monday posts.

We wants to thanks our friends that sends purrs to Cousin Jim's fambily.

So this weekend mommy makes it up to us that she has to be gone so much last week. She stays home with us all weekend. After chores on Saturday, she spends the evenings wif us on the deck. It was a wonderful time. I thinks she was really reading hers book, not watching birdies and skuirls with Squashies and me, but is ok, sometimes she watches wif us.

So here is the question of the week:
Why is mommy sitting on her 'distressed' stool that Squashies uses to jump up on the desk?

Answer:

As daddy sais "On your feet, lose your seat"

Femme Friday

2010-07-16T11:01:00.007-04:00

Hello Blog Friends, it's me Squashies, with my Femme Friday Post!

It has been a very slow week here at the house, cause mommy has been doing fambily stuff with her daddy for two days. She says a very speshul man, who helped take care of her daddy when his mommy died, went to the bridge. She seemed very sad.

Rest in Peace, Cousin Jim.

We sure miss mommy when she is not here. But daddy has been taking good care of us. (and he gives us more treats than mommy does!)

So we got a very speshul thing in our email the other day. It seems that Sammy and Andy's mama made a beautiful hat just for me! I think I look fabulous. I don't know how she makes a hat for me without even measuring, but as you can see it fits purrfectly. I think I shall never take it off! Thank you Mamabug. You are incredibly talented to make hats for all the girl kitties, and very sweet to think of me.

That's all I have for now, sweet friends. We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Bloggie Friends, it's me, TK, here for my mancat monday post!

Well Zombie Mombie finally makes the mistake she always worries bout- she knocks my insulin bottle on the slate kitchen floor. It breaks, of course. It didn't really stands a chance.

The problem is that it was 6am on Sunday. So then she has to waits for the farmacy to opens to get more. And I not had my shot.

Usually, when it is time to eats, mommy takes my bowl to the TeeVee room and sits on the couch so I can jumps on her lap to get my shot, then she puts my fud down in my spot so I can eats. But this time she just puts my fud at my spot. I not knows what to do, so I just sits at her feets and waits for her to sit down, like always. So then mommy looks at me curious and she sits down so I can jumps up. She gives me a cudddle, and puts me back down. Then I eated.

Then she leaves and when she comes back a long time later and I gets my shot and a TREAT!

Have a good day Bloggy Friends!

Femme Friday

2010-07-09T09:17:00.002-04:00

Hello Blog Friends, it's me Squashies here with my Femme Friday post.

This week TK only ate my food twice. But once he ate it all before mommy noticed. I don't mind too much, I know his diet is very hard on him, and mommy gave me some new food to eat.

In other news, I have been taking antibiotics for a month now for a little infection. Usually the medicine comes in a liquid that mommy would have to squirt down my throat. When it comes to forcing us to do things we don't like, I think mommy is more unhappy than we are, so Dr. Segal said we could try pill-pockets. She chopped human pills into EIGHTHS. Can you imagine? They were very small pieces. She's a very special doctor!

For three weeks everything went well. Mommy called the pockets my "before-dinner-treat", and I didn't mind even though I knew it was medicine. The pill-pockets are salmon flavor and very yummy, so I let her get away with it. Then on Monday, when I was eating my "Treat", something went wrong and the pill-pocket got stuck on the roof of my mouth. I was very scared. There was much drooling, scratching, and meowing. Mommy finally helped me get it unstuck and it ended okay. But after that I will not eat those pill-pockets ever again.

For the last 4 days mommy has been sitting me on her lap and shoving pills in my mouth. Neither one of was happy about this turn of events. I tried to be a good-girl, but it was really hard.

So anyway, yesterday was my last pill so we are all very relieved.

In other news- remember the hungry deer mommy that was eating daddy's bird seeds? Well as I was writting my post, she brought her fawns to the feeder for the first time! Here are some pictures mommy took.

That's all I have for this week friends. We all hope you have a great weekend!

Love, Squashies.

V.E.Ts

2010-07-08T16:59:00.001-04:00

Hi Bloggie Friends, it's me TK!
I goes to the V.E.Ts today. It was very hot outside and in the cars, and I was a little bit ascairt, so I was panting when we finally drives over. But I was trying to bes brave.

Mommy has to carry me in to the V.E.Ts cause she worries that the parking lot was too hot for my feets. It was nice, I feels safe when she holds me, even though she is a little bit hot.

When we gets in she takes me right to the scale where they weighs me. And guess what? I losses more weight! In the last 4 months I looses 9 whole ounces!

Then they holds me down and steals my furs and then my bloods. I not likes this part at all. But I was a good-boy and just lays there and sings my sad song. But guess what? My Glucoseseses was 102. I think that is good, mommy sure looked happy.

So then when they is finished, mommy gives me a treat for being good. So I thinks it's all over- but then they steals my toenails too!

What I wants to know is why they not weigh me after they steals all that stuffs from me? I bet I loosed another whole ounce.

Dis me relaxing after all the tramas. Don't I looks skinny?

So one other thing is that we adds Rewards to our bar. So we can thanks all our friends for the rewards they gives us. We like to thanks Tigger and the Teach for thinking of us when they gets their Beautiful Blogger reward we is very honored that they likes us!

Tomorrow is Squashies' Femme Friday, so I'll wish you all a good weekend now!

Mancat Monday

2010-07-06T10:37:00.001-04:00

OK so it is Tuesdays but I not going to miss my Mancat Monday just a'cause mine mommy not helps me post yesterdays.

So dis me lounging on the day bed in mommy's office trying to stay cool.

I'm sure you won't has a suprised that it's hawt here. So we all tries to keeps cool as best we can.

This morning, when my mommy was watering my lawn with the spouty bucket, I suprise her by jumping in the box right under the waters. It feels very good to gets cool. Then I sits in the wet lawn and trims my grasses. Mommy is sad she not has her camera when it happened, but she figured you has seen enough picshurs of me in my lawn.

We hopes you all stays cool, (or warm if you is on the Poppy Q's side of the quator.)

Mommy wants me to sais:

Happy 34th Birthday Auntie Ellen, we miss you more than words can ever express.

Femme Friday

2010-07-02T11:10:00.000-04:00

Hello Bloggy Friends, it is me, Squashies with my Femme Friday post.

It has been a very busy week here at our house. Mommy is working a lot, which means that TK and I have to help her as best we can.

We still start our day, after breakfast, on the deck. I like this time the best. When mommy gets done washing the bird bath and watering the plants and TK's lawn, I sit on her lap, or crawl on her shoulders while she takes her tea and reads for a bit. This morning I did a little accident. I didn't mean to, but you see, this bird landed on the railing... I got so excited I put my claws into mommy in my haste to get it. She says she is ok, but I never made her bleed before, and I feel bad.

So in other news-TK has been doing a lot better about trying to eat my dinner, and only did it half-heartedly 3 times this week. He really loves when mommy says he is a good boy. I sure hope he gets it right all the time, because we both get treats when he is good. Mommy says I'm always good, so I shouldn't be punished by not getting treats just because I never do bad stuff. I think this is a good way to think!

This is a long holiday weekend here in the US, and mommy says this means that she and daddy will go visiting on Sunday. She promises to be back in time for our medicine, so I guess we will let them go.

That's all the news.
Thanks for being patient with us while mommy gets her work done and have a happy and safe holiday weekend everykitty!

Love- Squashies

Hello Bloggie Friends! It's me, Squashies, with my Friday Femme Post. As you can see I was snoozing. It was a long night at our house last night, with mommy working on some big project for Cly Ants. TK and I did our part and stayed on the desk, even when it was time to go and relax on the deck. We don't mind too much, we just want to be where mommy is.

Mommy asked me to tell you that nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals invited her to come visit her sanctuary tomorrow, and mommy said "YES!". So hopefully she can works on that post this weekend. We sure hope things slow down for mommy soon. I only had 3 brushings yesterday!

Have a great weekend Bloggie Friends!

Love Squashies, and TK too.

Not so Wordless Wednesday

2010-06-23T18:09:00.003-04:00

I know TK said we would talk about the problems the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals is having, but mommy not has time to helps us today cause workie is being oppressive. So I will just show you these pictures of me helping mommy while she works.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSStretch

That was a pawsome stretch!

Just so no one feels bad for me and my little bed, you will notice that the big bed is unoccupied so I could have gotten in it, but I didn't want to. My little bed is very comfy too.

We hopes we can finish our post about the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals tomorrow. Sorry!

(Thanks to the Katnip Lounge's mommy for cluing us in that the baby birdie is a robin.)

Found: One Baby Bird

2010-06-22T17:48:00.003-04:00

So I is gonna tell about what happens last Friday when we was getting ready for our weekend. Mommy was winding down from a busy week and daddy was going out to water the lawns when daddy comes back in and tells mommy to comes outsides and shows her a baby birdy that falled out of hims nest! So mommy and daddy looks all around in the bushes and trees to finds the nest so they can puts him back in, but they not can finds it.

When mommy comes back in I can tells she has a big sad. She sits in her chair, then she grabses her computer and starts googling “found nestlings”. Then she finds a page that tells her how to takes care of it, so she runs upstairs and gets a shoey-box, one of daddy’s soft tee-shirts* and my heaty-pad. She went outside and pickeded the baby birdy up and puts him in the box with the shirt all wrapped around.

Baby Birdie (the shirt was clean when she puts him in der, but him a messier eatter than Squashies, and mommy not thinks to take hims picshur til later.)

She reads more that sais after baby birdy is warm that him has to eat every 15 minutes during the days. I was thinking I should peeps and maybe I gets feeded that much too!

So she goes into the kitshen and I thinks it is time to eats because mommy goes to OUR cabernet and gets a can of OUR toona. But she not feeds us; she opens the can and then opens the box and starts giving the birdy OUR food! Can you believe that?!?

Every time mommy opens the box the little baby birdie opens hims mouth really wide and mommy takes a little toona in tweezers and drops it in hims big wide open mouth. He sure eatted a lot of toona for a little baby birdie! So I sits next to her an starts peeping likes the birdie wif my mouth open and everything. But I not gets any toona.

Baby Birdie nomming our Toona.

But then mommy reads more webbies bout baby birdies and she sees that she has to feeds the baby birdy every 15 minutes during the day for 50 days. 50 DAYS! That’s like a whole life time. My poor mommy would not be able to does anything for like EVER!

So then she starts looking up other webbies about where you can takes found baby birdies. She makes LOTs of telefone calls cause nobody wants a baby birdie on Friday night. Then the Departmints of Nachural Resorses sais she can takes them to this nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals that they knows. When she calls the lady not anser her fones and her message sais that she is feeding all the animals but peoples can drop off animals if they can comes over. So mommy figures she can drives over to her place.

She stops typing in the computer and stops typing on the phone and she starts typing on her blackberries. She sees where the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals lives. Her blackberries sais that it is over a hour away, but our daddy, him is really smart, sais him knows a shortcut. But mommy not get how to does it, so daddy desides he will take her and the baby birdie to the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals.

Mommy sais that they not gets to where the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals lives until 9pm. But the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals cames out and takes her baby birdie anyways. She must really bees a nice lady. Then she gets mommy to fills in some papers while she goes in and feeds the baby birdie some more foods. The lady was very nice, she not makes mommy feel silly or stoopid for feeding the baby birdie cat food, or for not letting the baby birdie die on the lawns. She sais mommy did a ok job of taking care of the baby birdie for 4 hours. (Mommy sais I should sais that you not apposed to use teeshirts as nests cause they gots chemicals when they gets the washie. She finds this out from the papers that the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals gives her.)

So we not knows what kind of baby birdie him is, but we hopes the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals helps him to grows big and strong and can finds hims way in the world.
