Mancat Monday

Hi Bloggie friends, TK here with my Mancat Monday Post.  Well after 4 strait days with the hots over 105F, I'm happy to sais that today we gets a cold-snap. That's right it will only gets to 95F today. I thinks I hasa break out my winter furs! 

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.

Mancat Monday

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

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!

Mancat Monday

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

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

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

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

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

Mancat Monday

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

It's been very HAWT here lately, so I not been spending much time at my lawn.  We goes out in the morning so I can counts the dew-drops but we not stays out long, just long enough for mommy to waters the plants and cleans the birdie bath.  So mostly I been nappin in sunbeams in the cool house.

Has a great Monday!

Femme Friday

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

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

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.

THE END

Dis a flashback picshur of the only time me and Sqaushies ever been in the tree together. 
We not want our friends to misses us while we is talking about the baby birdie.

Pee Ess- Tomorrow mommy wantsa talk about the nice-lady-that-takes-care-of-all-the-animals and her problems wif the mean peoples that moves in next door and then not wants to lives next to her animals, so even though she been there for a very long times, they wants to make HER move.

Mancat Monday

Hello bloggy Friends! Is me, TK for my mancat monday post.

You has seen lots of variations of this picshur. Dis me working on my lawn.

Butt, look at what is happenings!?! I has maded a nest.

I thinks my grass is getting too long for me to tends all by myself. So mommy sais she would helps me gives it a trims this week.

  

So I also wants to show you how Squashies and me selebrated Father's Day wif our most awesomest daddy! Our daddy is a very great golfer. Him plays on a league on the week days. Mommy sais it is his new work since he retires.

So here we are watching the USGA's US Opens on the TeeVee. We was cheering for Phil, but he not wins this time.

We loves our daddy!

Oh... and there was STEAK on the barbie, and we gots to has some too.

Femme Friday

Sweet Praline says we can have a "Femme Friday" for us ladycats. Because this is my first lady post I thought I would show you "Grrl Time" with mommy and me.  This is when mommy and I go in the "Grrl Time" room and we fixes ourselves so we look nice for all the fellows. Sometimes I take a bath, but mostly I snoopervise mommy's efforts.

I sit here on the cool marble counter, while mommy givers her furs, face and teefies a brushing. She has many different brushes to use, so sometimes it takes awhile.

I think you missed a spot in your painting mommy!

Once mommy is done brushing herself, I get "Mack time". That's when I walk back and forth along the edge of the counter, and say "MAAACCCCK" really loudly so she remembers that I need brushings too. I never stand or sit still when being brushed, I have to pace so mommy has to chase me. It is wonderful fun.

When we are done, mommy picks me up, which I used to be ascairt of, and puts me on the floor. She makes sure she doesn't let go of me until all my feet are touching.

We loves our Grrl Time together!

Snoozin in our own kitty circle

A lot of the times Squashies gets in my bed when I nots in it.  I not likes to disturb her when she's sleeping.  So when I is ready to nap, a lot of times I end up in her little bed.  I not fits so good.

This picshur is from the winter, sees the snows out the window?

But today we sleeps in our own beds. I forgets how comfy it is in my big-boy, mancat beds.

     I thinks Sqaushies might needs a big-girl bed too.... Maybe mommy can move some of this work stuff off the desk so we can has 2 big beds...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wordless Wednesday

Truthful Tuesday

Well kitties, you was so supportive of Squashies when she mitts she falled off the cat tree, I desides I will makes a confesshun too.  Dis a little bit embarassing.

Every night when I is a good boy, and not eats Squashies' food we gets a treat. And the other day I was tryings to be very good, I not jump up on the tables or anything.  I just sits there and listens to Squashies noms her food. Is very hard...
