Futurama

I have always loved the show Futurama, and when it showed back up on TV, I set the tivo to record it.  The first few episodes were complete flops in my opinion, but they've slowly regained their footing and things are going swimmingly.

When I finally watched last weeks episode last night, I could NOT stop laughing, and I had to pause the tivo when I saw this, some how I just knew it would end up on ICHC, and look, low and behold it did.

can you stand more posts on pet food?
I hope so

cause it really is a soap box of mine.  What you choose to do with the information is up to you, but I will do what I can to provide the information that is out there.

Well I'm calling it.  The kittens are officially sick.  Cordi broke with a bad eye before they were neutered, and I figured if I hit it hard it would be over with before it started.  I guess it was brewing and being neutered was just too much stress for those July kittens, because Cordi, Spike, Angel and Willow have all sported a snot nose in the past few days.  I figured they'd come right out of it and be ok, but it is lingering, so this morning I broke out the antibiotics.  It isn't bad, just annoying and to the point that medication would be a good idea.  While I am quite thrilled that they aren't going back quite yet, the down side of caring for them (the 10lbs of litter a day that they use and the 10 cans of food they go through) is getting a little excessive.

So easy to over look that through when you have seven kittens clamoring to get on your lap, purring at full volume wanting love and attention.  that really is a great way to start your day!

I sent a little blurb and some photos over to the shelter to get the June kittens adopted together.  I am both looking forward to and dreading when they leave.  Zander is a right little pain in the tushie.  He REALLY wants to save me from that silver thing hanging around my neck with the dangling stone on it.  Unfortunately he ends up biting ME when trying to get it, and pulling VERY hard once he does.  I could deal with him playing with it, but he is a little obsessed, and a little more then a bit excessive to get to it.  One day I had to take it off.  The other I had it on under my shirt and still he needed to get it... NEEEEEDED to get it..   Lets just say he's worse then Jack with the thought of a cookie.  Buffy still sidles up to me and looks for attention which is all too sweet.  *sigh*  I so hope the right home is out there waiting for them.

I wish my crew would get together and form a censous on what I should do each morning.  Ollie is of the thought that I need to get up... not just get up, but *GET UP NOW!*.. he walks right up the bed, puts his nose to mine and meows at me.  When I pat him he starts slamming his tail around.

When I start to stir, several other cats show up.  Jack is usually at my back, but Muffin will start at my calf and walk up my body and sit on my chest and insist that I stay in bed.  Fleurp is of the stay in bed variety of cat too.  Twee and Kit generally want to play.  Skippy shows up from time to time and sits on me and drools.  I don't think I've quite figured out what his agenda is, although I'm sure it changes randomly.

I have to tell you, it is very VERY hard to get out of bed when you do not want to AND you have 40+lbs of cat on and around you.  This morning I asked my husband to help me out, and he called to them and tried to get their attention, even so much as going into the kitchen which excited Ollie and Fleurp, but Jack and Muffin were NOT BUDGING!  I think nothing short of breakfast would have gotten them off me.

So I got up, and shuffled down the hall - my entourage in tow.  It really is quite amusing that where I go they go.  It is more dramatic in the AM when they think that food might be involved.

This morning while treating Ollie, he tried to jump up on the lounge and missed.  His tumor is definitely wearing on him.  I realized the other morning he hadn't jumped up over the fridge in quite some time.  DH hadn't noticed him up there either.  (surprisingly none of the other kitties who used to get up there have done either)   Just another sign post on that road.  Of course no one has told Ollie this, and he refuses to accept where he is going I think.  Last night we heard quite a bit of cat calling.  Twee does it when she gets lost.  Jack does it when he finds the fish.  Muffin does it from time to time when she feels she's not welcome on the bed with me (because she's stepped on my head three times in a row and I kept tossing her off - so she waits till I invite her back up)   Last night it would not stop despite calls that the humans were in the other room waiting for what ever need was needed.  DH commented that they were trying out for the glee club.  A few moments later I got up for something in the kitchen and saw Ollie biting Jack on the neck in that dominance stance that became all too familiar since Em passed.  Guess Ollie is just not ready to hand over his "King Ruler of All' crown.
