Happy Happy Kitten Time

Sally

Sally has a constant left over food mustache.  I keep asking her if she is saving it for later, and she just looks at me like I'm so mean for taking it off of her.  She's 1lb 10 oz.. slowly but surely that weight will get on her..

Patty

Patty is so funny.  She's a love bug and an athlete.  I rarely get both in a kitten.  You'll see the love bit in a bit.  For some reason she also reminds me of my sister as a child.

Violet

Violet REALLY wants to know what is on the other side of the door.  She threw herself from the arm of the couch (behind her in this pict) over the baby gate I use to keep the kittens in the room.  I was a little surprised that she made it, and I think she was too because she froze once she hit the ground.  I'm very glad because if she had taken off running I might still be chasing her.

Excuse me, coming through - Lucy

Little Miss Diva

Lucy reminds me so much of my own kitty Muffin.  The coloring is different but it is the placement is same on the two kitties.  The personality is VERY similar.  I have to keep reminding myself they aren't related.  The other day I went in and they were SOOOO HUNGRYYYY!!!! and the other three were under my feet, but Lucy was near by throwing herself on her side and showing me her belly.. reaching out as if on a desert and she was searching for water.. she gets the academy award for acting paws down

Here are a few more picts I just really liked:

Patty

Sally

this pict of Sally above is so adorable, I thought if I rotated it so it looked like she was "standing" that it would look a little zombie like, but it really didn't and it just ruined the cuteness of the photo..   Love her paws, LOVE her rotund little belly full of food..

Sally

Patty. 

She snuggled like that for a while.. She rested her chin on my chest for a bit and killed me dead with her cuteness

PSA - Flea products

When I used to work at the vet's office (as a receptionist) I saw a few cases of toxic reactions to flea products.  Watching these kitty suffer is not pretty, and it was one of the worst things I had to deal with knowing it should not have happened.  I am constantly telling people to NEVER buy flea products over the counter.  I'm even leery of Frontline and Advantage being sold over the counter, because until recently the makers of the products wouldn't allow it, so I had to wonder how that product got there, and because of known cases of counterfeit products it scared me. 

Today on Twitter I saw this video.. it made me think, it made me tear up.  It reminded me that not everyone knows of the dangers of flea products.  They are touted as safe and the side effects are rarely talked about (even with the very safe Frontline and Advantage, there is the risk of a cat having a reaction)

So adding to my crusade to talk about and get people thinking about cat food/nutrition and vaccines, lets just throw in flea products..

The more you know...




I just found another blog talking about the same thing, but she has more videos.. http://thewobblycat.blogspot.com

So what makes you get on your soapbox?

Wordless Typo

Anonymous commented that I typo'd yesterday.. I have a really good excuse

 Ok, so really I don't.  I just typo'd.. Typos happen.

The Royals are doing well and are of size.  Bug hasn't had another incident so I'm going to write the shelter and let them know they can schedule their return.  it might be tomorrow if they have space or next week.  Since it is coming right up I thought an outing would do them wonders.  Bug is having a fine time at work.  The royals are hiding and do not want their picture taken just yet.  Maybe later

sleepy time

No idea where the others are.  I pulled up my webcam at work and searched and searched and just about given up when I panned down :)
