Tucked in Tuesday

This is how I spent my weekend when my mommy and daddy got back.




See how mommy tucks me in? I like being all snuggled up in a warm afghan. Sometimes I even burrow all the way under sos you can't see me at all! This is, of course, when Bendrix is not around. He is NOT a snuggler. He also likes to take his naps elsewhere. You'll see that tomorrow...

Be sure to see Chance today. He actually got a kiss from his woofie brother Shadow!!

Mancat Monday

aaahhh finally things have gotten back to normal. Mommy and daddy are especially happy because little Chance is at his wonderful forever home. His mommy Nellie is so nice and sweet, he loved her right away. Please visit him at his very own bloggy to welcome him to the blogosphere!

I spent the weekend snuggling on the sofa with my mommy. She would post those pictures but she forgot the camera cord for the computer at home! Silly mommy. I'll post those tomorrow. She'll also post the pictures of Chance meeting his mommy for the first time and tell you about the nice people at the Washington Area Humane Society who were so great about letting us use their facility.

Until then, I think I'll do a little grooming and nap until mommy and daddy get home from hunting and gathering.

Although this picture was taken last week, today's grooming session will look very similar...

It is brr brr cold here and will only get colder this week. We hope all our friends are safe and sound from all the snows that fell this weekend.

Raising a Paw

I hope it counts that I'm raising my paw for a toy too. I'm going out on a limb on my cat blog, but I am raising a paw for "Dogs Deserve Better." We all know many wonderful woofies and they all do deserve better than being chained up outside away from love, shelter and soft couches.

In our area, just this year, there have been 3 charges of animal cruelty against evil beans for letting the woofies in their "care" get a chain so embedded in their necks that they got infected and couldn't reach food or even lay down. That is the most awful thing a cat can imagine (besides hunger) is no being able to lay down.

The nice beans at Dogs Deserve Better are fighting the good fight bringing one of human's best friends inside where they belong.

Mommy says that Chance will be going to his new home tomorrow so we'll be able to visit more. She spends lots of time upstairs with him cause he has to be in that crate all day and night if he isn't snoopervised (Bendrix! No you can't "Snoopervise" the kitten!). Mommy and daddy are meeting his forever mommy Nellie in the Washington, PA area tomorrow!

So, we'll be able to post more and visit more next week. Take care and don't forget us!

One Word Wednesday

No!!!!!

Mancat Monday

Jeez, one thing I learned last week about being a Mancat is that sometimes we have to sacrifice. Sometimes we have to suck it up, and be Mancats. How do I know this? Because that little fuzzy stinker upstairs is taking up so much of MY mommy's time. OK, OK, OK, I know, he is cute. Yes he went thru a lot, but that is MY mommy. So, I've learned to suck it up and spend time with my mommy when I can (and enjoy the extra treats I get cause she feels guilty heh heh heh).

Hendrix's mommy here: Yes, Hendrix has been the sweetest boy about all the changes last week. We have to make sure the kitten gets taken care of and of course the million places we had to go to for the holiday. We ate well, but we were busy. No worries, our dear Mancat Hendrix was NOT neglected at all.

Hendrix here. You may be saying to yourself, "of course Hendrix would be so nice and understanding of the changes, but what about Bendrix? He is not a fan of change." Well, Bendrix has been busy with his new minions.....




Even Bendrix has to admit that the little guy has mad skills. Want to know what his name is? Check out his new bloggy!! He and his new woofie brother Shadow will keep us updated on all his progress.






You have all left so many nice messages supporting us and our little charge and we really appreciate all of them. The cat blogosphere is a great place and we are so glad to be a part of it. My mommy promises we will be back on track visiting soon. She works retail and on top of me, the kitten, working in a gift shop my beans had FOUR Thanksgivings this weekend. Sigh. Thanks again for all your kind words.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for many many things. My mommy and daddy and entire family. I am thankful for my forever home. I am thankful that there are wonderful people in the world who help anyway they can, even with purrs and prayers. I am thankful to live with all the freedoms we do here and the men and women in green who keep us safe. I am also thankful for my blogging friends and my wonderful, sweet, pretty Brandi, my girlfriendcat.

This Thanksgiving, I am especially thankful for Nellie who will me our little kitten's new mommy. Barring any unexpected issues, we will be meeting her on December 1st and our little buddy will be going to his forever home with his new mommy. He does have a name and mommy is using it, but we are going to let Nellie share that with you when (we hope!) she starts a new bloggy for him and his woofie brother Shadow. It is the perfect name!!

He is doing so great. Mommy lets him play for about 15 minutes at a time (the rest of his time out of the crate is for snuggling and resting on her lap). He is walking much better and bunny kicks the crud out of soft bitey mice. His tail is even improving!




Look into my eyes....you will bring me turkey and gravy while I lounge...

Tiny Tuesday

More cute pictures and some good news! We have someone in PA who is interested in taking the little kitten. Isn't that wonderful? Her 17 year old kittey passed away in July and she is ready to open her heart and home to our little sweetie.

She has an 11 year old black lab who misses snuggling with his kitty friend and as I said yesterday (and futher believe after this morning at the vet where 2 Great Dane big "puppies" were right there and the kitten was just hanging out) he isn't afraid of woofies. She wrote me this morning "I do not believe in cats being declawed and feel they should be pampered with warm beds, soft pillows, and lots of fun toys." Isn't that wonderful?!?

Our vet places him actually at 5 1/2 months old and he is just getting his teeth. He is using the Pyrex dish we are using as a litter box regularly and with no issues. That means no surgery necessary!! He is on antibiotics now just in case he has a minor upper resperatory infection, the X-Rays today didn't show anything but he has some gook around his nose. Our vet thinks it isn't anything to be concerned about.

Here are more pictures to awwwwwww over!!! He is so sweet and so nice I wish he could be my new brother, but I think he will be happier and healthier in his new home.





PS Between working lots, taking care of this kitten and me and with the holiday coming up we know we haven't visited as much as we want. We promise to be back in action soon!

Manic Monday - Help!

We are in desperate need of some cat blogosphere help! Long story short, we have a kitten that actually survived riding under the hood of a car for 3 hours that needs help!

Our neighbors showed up Sat. night around 8 with a kitten that traveled 3 hours under the hood of their car (they picked it up at a coffee shop - long story). They did NOT want to have any thing to do with the kitten and dumped it off on mommy to take care of. She rushed it to the emergency VET Sat night and the doctors found out that this cat is very lucky. It has minor pelvic fractures and severely damaged ligiments in its tail.

The cat has so far tested negative for FLV and FIV. The cat should make a full recovery with 4-6 weeks of crate rest and care. So far it does not appear surgery will be necessary.

The kitten is guessed at no more than 10 months old and weighs in at 3lbs. Mommy and daddy discussed with our VET at length about us keeping the kitten and there is no way we can keep it permenantely without risking my health and the kitten's health.

Mommy and daddy are keeping the kitten upstairs in a large dog crate behind closed doors and away from me and are treating with with pain meds every 8 hours.

So, we have 4-6 weeks to find this kitten a good loving home, INDOOR ONLY PLEASE. This kitten is a purring little motor and makes biscuits and is as sweet as can be for being in as much pain as it has to be in. We have a VET appnt. to find out more about his situation tomorrow. BTW he is an non-neutered male.

Judging from his reactions at the emergency VET, this kitten has no fear of dogs or other cats and should be fine in a home with other pets.

We need to find this little lovey guy a home. We live in Cincinnati, OH. Please help, after all this little guy has been through, he deserves a chance!!








Purrs and prayers are also appreciated.

PS Our friend Ruis made a good point and we want to let you all know that mommy and daddy will make sure the little guy has his hoo-haa-ectomey before he goes to his new home. The vet wants to wait for him to heal up a bit and also gain some weight before the surgery.

Formerly Feral Friday

I never really got to enjoy a warm sunbeam when I was feral. I had to always be on the alert. Now I can curl up in any sunbeam and drift off to dream sweet dreams of my Sugar Pie Brandi. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


I thought I needed to show my softer side this week.
