Winnie Checking In

Hello all. The petsitter got here at 7:30 this morning!! Doesn't she know it's Sunday? What the heck. It was kinda nice actually because she got here early enough that it was still cool outside which meant that she could leave the front door open with just the hook on the screen door so that we can sniff the air. I enjoyed it while she took care of business around the house. That is, of course, until Sara Lou came and tried to nose in on my air time while I was distracted getting my back scratched. I had to run at her and try to give her a big swat. Next time she won't get away. Now she's accusing me of launching a smear campaign against her on the internet just because I told everyone that I felt like I was living with Dr. Seuss. I meant it in a good way. wink wink. Oh well. She thinks she's gonna get me and the pet sitter back for this alleged smear campaign but little does she know we are both older and more experienced than she is in the art of sneakiness. Though I hope I get handicap points for having to work with the pet sitter. She's not so stealthy these days. Matter of fact you can hear her coming from a mile away. Those bi-pedal individuals have more weight on just two of their paws so it makes them have a hard time walking I think.

Tiger Lily's Check in

Hello All. I know it's been a while since you've seen my little blurry eyes and gotten to read about me and my life. I hope you didn't miss me too much I'd hate to put anyone in too much pain unless they are playing "bite the hand that feeds" with me. Usually the pet sitter is the only one who plays that game with me anyway. She sits in the chair and reclines it back all the way and then I come and sit on the little chair behind her in the dining room. She pulls her hand back like she wants to pet me and I bite at it. That is how I let her know that the game has begun. After that she will put her hand near me and pull it back. The contest is to see whether or not I can sink my teeth in before she pulls away. It's soooo fun!!!! Especially because I win nearly every time we play.

Incompatible Pets

Check out this video. This is an example of incompatible pets. The people who made the video have cats and there is a turtle in the garden which stakes out his territory and chases them around the yard. He nips at them to make them leave his area and they run off with no real ability to fight back because he has a shell to protect himself. The poor cats just want to lounge around in the garden area and all their efforts to relax are thwarted by the turtle sentry of the back yard. It's kinda cute cause I've never seen such a bold turtle. He must have been a dog in a past life.

Hugo's Diary

The pet sitter came in this evening like always, fed us and then left for a spot with an internet connection. She said it would be more fun for us if we could connect at our house to do the diary entries cause as it is now we end up writing our entries out by paw and she has to go to Starbucks where they rip her off for an internet connection and make her pay 20 dollars a month for T-Mobile Hotspot. She said that she's gonna cancel her hotspot connection soon because it's a rip off and she can find another coffee shop that connects for free to wireless. She's probably going to be home soon because the coffee shop closes at 7pm which makes for another hassle for her with the internet connection. She said sometimes she hangs out with all the homeless guys outside the coffee shop and they watch You Tube videos after the coffee shop closes. I think that's a little on the weird side myself but whatever floats your boat. I told her that I didn't think that was a very safe thing to do. She told me that drifters are a pretty loyal bunch and if you make friends with them they won't hurt you or anything. In fact, she said that once you're friends with them they will even help protect you if you need it. I guess ruffians have a moral code too. I suppose I never thought about it that way. She said what ever you do don't let them into your vehicle. Not because they are dangerous necessarily but because they smell of urine and that is not a pleasant scent for your car to have. It's fine in the open air because you don't notice it when the wind is airing out their butts but as soon as you are in a closed space you are bound to smell it. She said that her cats tried to pee on her once after hanging out with the ruffians because they didn't recognize her. After she explained to them who she was and what she'd been doing they let her go and then she just hid her clothes from them. Too much drama for me. I'm sure glad my mom doesn't take in strays. I saw that movie "Lady and the Tramp" and it sort of scared me to imagine hanging with those ruffians. To me that's almosta horror flick. Whew!!! Glad I'm at the safe and secure home my mom provides me with catnip for days.

It's Official There Are No New Kittens To Report At My House

Wednesday Samson and Delila got their precious parts snipped out. They have been de-jeweled. The family jewels removed and discarded who knows where. I know I am officially a mom now because of how sad I am. I know it had to be done but waa waa it wasn't easy. First the poor little rascals had to go without food from midnight the night before until they got home at 630 the day of the surgery. As if that isn't torture enought they had to endure the car ride there and they were the most well behaved and quiet little guys you've ever seen. When we got into the vet they stayed quiet the whole time despite all the funky smells wafting around that place. It smelled of dogs and cats and who knows what else, but they weren't afraid of any of it thanks to Rocky and Buddy coming to the house. Dogs don't scare them they think dogs are toys and they try to whack at their ears. Little dogs get freaked out by the kitties because they are so bold to come give the little ruffsters a sniff over. Any way when I picked them up Samson was as quiet as could be and Delila was too until she had to sit in the cold for too long while I opened the car door. She moaned in pain and discomfort letting me know to hurry up. The whole way in the car if we hit a bump or anything she just moaned and cried. I felt so bad for her. I was afraid they were going to hate me for the torture of depriving them with food and then taking them to get mutilated. When we got home I let them out and it seemed as if they were nervous that something was going to come out and grab them. When they calmed down Samson ran all around the house trying to eat any thing that was on the floor. I tended to poor little Delila and then realized that if I didn't feed them Samson was going to choke himself on something eventually. I fed the little buggars and then Delila started to lick her incision and bite at the stitches. It was driving her nuts because even squirting her didn't stop the nibbling and after a dousing of water I had to wrap her in a towel and protect her from herself. I didn't have an E-Collar so I was clueless on what to do. Especially since the stores were all closed. I ended up finding the last remaining paper plate in my house and I fashioned it into a cone and cut a hole in it for her little head to fit. I put it on her and taped it together with scotch tape. She figured out how to make my cheap little dollar store plate bend so she could reach her new chew toy and went at it again. I had to get a few old chopsticks that I had and break them in pieces to use as a splint for the paper plate. I taped the sticks all around the plate and then she looked even more hilarious with all this wood and paper and scotch tape around her head. She didn't have any periferal vision after that so she marched around the house lifting her little paws up like a German Soldier. I took a picture with my camera but I don't have a digital so we'll have to wait for the prints if you want to see the pics. I will post them as soon as they come up. I got her a real E-collar the next morning and she was very patient while waiting for the cutting to complete. Apparently she learned from her experience the day before that you shouldn't wiggle too much when a sharp object is near you. In the mean time Samson is running around like a lunatic with all sorts of energy. I was told he'd be more calm but that was a lie cause he is psycho now. Running and climbing and snuggling and wrestling. I know when I have human children I'll never have them fixed or I'll go nuts with all the energy they'll have. LOL

Rocky's Diary

Buddy and I got here earlier today and gave the place its initial sniff over. The petsitter wasn't here then so our mom sat with us for a minute and then headed out the door. She forgot our blankies but we did alright without them. The house was a snippit cold but that isn't a problem when you're so furrily endowed as I am. You should see me I'm a prime piece of dog meat. The bitches dig me and the dogs are afraid. Anyway enough about me. When the petsitter got here we were pretty excited. Even Buddy wasn't afraid or anything. For some reason we didn't feel like barking when she came in. We discussed it but I couldn't remember what the reason was for not barking. The petsitter sat all her stuff down and then tried to locate all of our stuff so that she knew where it all was. As soon as she found the leashes we were off for our walk. She grabbed one of the trash bags that needed to go out and walked it around to the dumpster with us. No big deal until she tried to throw the bag into the dumpster. She tossed the bag into the dumpster and the sound of it hitting the bottom of the dumpster scared the crap out of Buddy. He bolted and the petsitter wasn't holding his leash tight enough. Before I knew it she and I were walking behind Buddy all around the neighborhood trying to convince him to come to us. Finally the petsitter turned around and looked at me saying "this is going to be an all night thing isn't it?" About the same time Buddy just walked right up to us and practically handed her his leash. When we got back to the house we didn't go in we actually just grabbed a bunch of light bulbs and walked around the neighborhood to all the apartment buildings changing light bulbs in the stairways. When we got home Buddy was flustered from all the stops and the noise of the bulbs clanking together in the bag. The petsitter let the cats out and then it was a get to know you again sort of situation. Of course after all 4 of us ate Delila came around so she could smack the crap out of me for no reason at all. The petsitter smacked her for me. Samson kept driving Buddy nuts by trying to play with his ears and he finally snapped. Oh the pains of interspecial relationships!! Now it is finally calming down since K (the petsitter's girlfriend) got here. Buddy's napping beside the petsitter, the cats are chasing each other and any bugs coming in the window, I am about to start my snoring marathon beside K on the couch. All is well at Fuzzy Family Central.

Fuzzy Family Central Has A Temporary Zoo!!!!!

Not a real zoo silly! I have my friend TBLJ's dogs Rocky and Buddy over visiting until Sunday. For those of you who don't know that I have cats it is no big announcement but I have two kittens Samson and Delila. So the rest of the week you will be seeing diary entries from all four of the little fuzzies that are in my apartment. The real focus will of course be on Rocky and Buddy but the diary will be from the perspective of all the animals. So be ready for the fiasco that is about to be my humble abode.

Cute Cat Video

Check this video out and see all the crazy stuff the kitties end up doing. The clip where the cat climbs the woman's leg while she washes dishes is what my cat Delila does. You can only imagine the pain of this experience which always comes when I least expect it.

Skye's Diary

Today was a good day because I knew my mom was going to be coming home. I don't like it too much when she's gone. The petsitter is nice but she just doesn't understand me so I usually keep to myself when she's here. I guess it's normal for adults to not really get us teenagers. Tiger Lily is doing fine I guess. I always hear her squeaking when the petsitter puts the ointment in her eyes. She tries to make herself cute in order to save herself from the ointment ceremony every day. The petsitter scooped the litter box every day that she was here accept for today. I guess she was running late and she told me that she had a billion other kitties to take care of. She told me we were out of dry food so hopefully mom remembers where she left the secret stash or we'll be in for it. At least we made it to the last day and we have plenty of wet food if it comes down to that. I don't want to be mean but I think Tiger Lily needs to lose a bit of weight anyway cause she keeps eating my food and hers both. I know we have to bulk up for the winter but man has she gotten greedy. LOL Any way the petsitter tells me other cats have to use the computer so I guess I'll leave to journal another day.

Cosmo's Diary

Today we waited all day long for the petsitter to show up. We were hungry as heck because we are trying to put on our winter weight and she just showed up at 7:20pm. What in the world is she thinking? I don't know if she realizes it but we need to stock up for the winter and we really love that new senior food that mom got us. We've been eating more of that than any dry food we've had since this petsitter has known us. As a matter of fact Archie is nibbling on the dry food right now as I type even though he ate the heck out of the wet food already. After we ate Archie and I felt it necessary to get a little exercise in so we decided to run a few laps around the house. The petsitter isn't too much of a personal trainer so we have to take the initiative and do it ourselves. I don't know what my mom pays for but she's not much for running laps with us or anything. I can say however that the petsitter is one of the best snugglers I've ever met and she loves hanging out with us. She even turns the TV to Animal Planet when I ask her to. Today she agreed to watch the animal episode of funny home videos so we're all satisfied. Overall it's a great deal having her around. Archie just yelled down from the top of the refridgerator in agreement. Well I had better stop writing for now as my petsitter tells me there are other kitties who need to use the computer.
