Some News First

We wanted to let those of you who don't already know, that dad has left the building.  He is now living with another Feeder, a very nice cat and three woofies.  They take him, the nice Feeder for a drag every morning.  Mom and they are still friends.  Star misses dad.  This has stressed all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde though.  Because of that stress they're having a pissing contest (no, really!!).  So mom went to Petco via Billmelater (a paypal thing) and bought us a LOT of toys and two new kitty condos so we will have three condos as well as a second window perch (hey mom!  why didn't you get us three??).  We hope that those things will help us destress so that stinky ole' Knives won't chase everyone and fight with Star.

Da Celebration Report! Read All About It!!

 "So, do you know why mom did bring back BBQ for us??"

 "Mom's how old??  How much is that in cat years??" - Audrey

"Don't ask, don't tell." - Star

"You know, she got that cat necklace for her birthday when she was 11 and wanted earrings to match ever since she got it." - Zaphy

 "And dad had someone called Thomas the Lapidary make

 the earrings to match.  Mom squeed when she opened

the box at Christmas!  Daddy always does good." - Star

 "I want to know why dad named his upright bass Clyster." - Knives

"It's a band member's family name." - Zaphy

"OooOOOooo." ::shakes head:: "I still don't get it." - Knives

"Now there's a shock!" - Star

"What??" - Knives

"Mom got some great paper to play with,

but we can't have the balloons."

PS thanks to everycat who said Happy Purrday to our mom!

Just Bouncing Through!!

 "Well, it's not me!!  It's hot again so I'm sleeping in the basin.  Besides which, it squishes Pernicious  Fleas!!"

 "It's not me either, although I can make you give me gooshy food with the power of my laser eyes!  bwahahahahahahahahaha!"

 "'cuse me.  I'm sleeping.  I got allll worn from... from... ::sigh::  okay, I'll admit it, I've started bounding & bouncing instead of

running like all of the other cats.  Jen also calls me a meercat because I can stand up so well on my back legs.  ::rolls eyes::"

 "As you can see, I have been teaching my young padawan,

Audrey, the ways of the Ninja Kitty.  I must say that I had

quite a chuckle though when dad asked mom how much

longer Audrey would need to be on a leash.  Mom looked

at him and said (which she'd done before ::kitty giggle::)

"Always!!  I promised that she would be an inside cat before

we got her."  Silly ole' daddy!!  In fact, the rest of us haven't

been going out as much either and mom has never ever let

us stay out at night (as if she had anything to say about it)!"

"Everycat around here is short of energy.  Seriously.

Don't get between them & their caffeine.  We really 

don't want to have to... well, let's just say that our claws

are in prime condition and leave it at that, shall we?"

PS Thomas is still MIA

PPS Mom is still sick

PPPS Mom lost all of her AI files with the shop graphics when her laptop fubared.  ::sigh::  She still looking for a backup copy.  Cross your paws!!  If mom has had you email in the past, please please email her!!  And don't forget to check out our shop!  Our vet bills in the last couple of months have totaled over $500 and we're still having problems with Pernicious Fleas.  meh.

Where Has We Been??

 "First, I'm feeling much much better!"

 "But I think he gave whatever he had to mommy and 

Jennifer and Corwyn... and maybe daddy too!"

 "That's why I have not allowed mom on the computer.

I always keep her off the computer when she's not

feeling well.  She had to go Out three times this week,

and being sick on top of that.  ::sigh::  I've had to lay on top

of her quite a bit as well as guarding the door to the bedroom."

 "We're working hard on helping mom with being sick and

stressed too.  Dad went under the house today and found a

busted pipe.  He'd like to get a plumber but mom & dad don't

have any more green papers because of stinky... ummm...

yellow... ummmm... Knives.  Who feels much better now."

"PS Audrey isn't hissing at him hardly at all now!!"

"This is what everyfeeder looked like except daddy this week."

PS mom is having a bladder procedure just to check stuff

on the 6th so purring & praying even if we forgets

to post before then would be a Good Thing!  Thanks!

PPS This is for everycat & feeder (and even woofies) who aren't feeling well. 

Star says, "Actually this is especially for my adorable Admiral and her mommy!!!

I'm sorry I haven't been online my love but I am rushing right over to take care

of you while you are taking care of your mom!!  Kitty kisses & grooming!!"

Me-om!! What Happened to the Lights?! And Our Fountain!!

 "This morning dad got everycat & the other Feeders up at 0600 because of the siren at the airport near us blaring!  The Feeders all got dressed just in case we had to go into the front bathroom.  Of course we are always dressed in our beautiful furs!!  Then at 0630 all the lights went out!!   And our water fountains stopped flowing!!  Unfair!!"

 "But don't worry!!  I made the siren stop blaring!  It's been raining birds and dogs all day and the only Horde member to go OUT on the leash was dumb ole' Audrey but that's because she only goes out on the porch.  Dumb ole' Audrey.  Oh wait, Zaphy went out too but he made mom walk him all over down the driveway and in the back patio area.  He was sooooo mad because she made him stay on the leash!  Mom says she needs to get more harnesses (and leashes) so we can all have our own.  I think we each need our own color so dad can tell whose is whose.  Mom looked at this but said she didn't know if it would be big enough for us or not.  Then mom & I drooled over the furniture, steps & window seats!"

 "Daddy brought mom flowers last night just to help make her feel better.  Mom got denied SSD again.  Daddy knows that flowers help mom.  Of course we're much much much better at it!!"

"I'm practicing for our Second Annual Everycat Sleeping Contest!!  If you search in our search box on the side you can see who won last year!  Everycat should start practicing now... it will start in July!!"

"Mom had to drive TWO MILES to buy dad hot coffee because the lights were out so far!  They stayed out until 1030!!  They're starting to blink again so we're going to post this quick quick quick!!"

Mom's Eye Still Pink!

 "Hmmmm, everycat is outside but dumb ole' Knives.

Guess I'll have to take care of mom's pinkeye."

 "First of all, I am not dumb!  I am very good at taking care of mom!  Even if she says I can't lay on her legs too long because I'm too heavy (which I'm not!)."

 "Wow!  It's exhausting trying to amuse mom!!  Hey!

Where'd my hair band go??  Oh!  Here it is!"

 "Is that dad??  Never mindzzzzzzz."

"You do know they call them treats for a reason.  Right??"

Monday, Monday...

 "Everycat is soooooo blue.  I think we all need more naps."

 "And treats, I'm sure I saw one fall down here... if not, I can play with the shoes like my twin brother of another mother, Star!"

 "I should get the most treats.  See how innocent I am?

This is the face of innocence."

"Knives?  Innocent?  Dude.  Seriously.

Even the Feeders won't buy that one!"

"Okay dad, I know what I want for dinner!!"

The Bad and the Good and the Oh My!

First the bad so we can get it out of the way and then feel better by looking at pictures of sweet babies.  This message was passed on from on of the blogs I read regularly (I actually read a lot but don't have the energy to reply but we purr & pray for everycat that needs it!).  It seems that Caboodle Ranch, a no-kill home for kitties with no other place to go may have become a hoarding situation.  Here is some more information about it.  I don't have absolute proof, but if anyone does, please please let me know!  This is very sad and we are purring & praying for the sweet cats there.

For the good.  Well, there's a bit of bad.  Somehow we can't find Audrey's harness & leash!!  Fortunately she has a backup harness and I was able to cobble up something to use as a leash.  She doesn't like this harness as much since it's an H as opposed to a Figure 8 which is what most cats prefer.  I hope we find it!!

"Hey mom!!  I'm ready to go ou-ut!!

What do you mean I need my leash??"

"Mmmmmm, open window... mmmmmmm"

"So-oo what are you guys doing to my bathroom??"

"Okay Audrey, mom & dad are trying to get the house in shape so they can have the house appraised so they can get the house refinanced and pay off some stuff.  That'll mean more treats." - Star

"More treats!  More treats!!" - Knives & Audrey

"Now if mom could just afford a cleaning team.  I have no idea

why she keeps complaining about me spraying everywhere.

It was not me.  No, really!!" - Thomas

::yawn:: "I'll help by taking a nap.

I'm sure that will be very very helpful." - Zaphy

Breaking News! Audrey Needs a Longer Leash!!

"I like going outside but my leash needs to be longer mom!!"

"How come Da Boys don't wear leashes??"

"Daddy opens this cat door that he made when the weather gets good.  Zaphoid says that we should have a real cat door so it can stay open longer during the year.  ::tilts head::"

"But Star is worried that I might learn to jump

the side & back fence like Da Boys do."

"I've been back here once with mom but it took her for-ev-ah to

get me to come back inside!  But there are so many fun things

to look at!!  There was a deck, a above-ground pool, a table

with chairs, steps to climb up and down and under, a ramp to scamper up that mom uses to get into the pool, a shed..."

PS Don't forget to purr for all the cats and woofies and feeders in Japan!  Some of them crossed the Rainbow Bridge and some lost their homes.  And take a look at the cats & woofies at my Foster Mom's blog, your house may be Just Right for their Forever Home!!  I love mine and I want you to know that Handsome looks just like me!!  Mom says that if he's even half as nice as I am anycat would love to have him in their house.  ::preen::  Which is true.  Thanks!! - Audrey

PSS Jennifer says I need a catio, whatever that is.  I don't care as long as I can safely go outside.  I am very smart and want to go back inside as soon as I hear cars or woofies!!

Crossing Our Paws So Mom Can Go Hear Dad Play!

 "Guitar pick?  Gee, no dad, I haven't see it.  Why?"

 "Hey!!  Was it a mouse?  A bird?  No!  It was a speeding kitten!!"

 "Whassa speeding kitten??  Ooooh!  Hair band!!!"

"Man, the lengths I have to go to just

to get away from my baby sister!!"

"Mom!  Hey mom!!  Are you resting??  Dad has a gig tonight!!"

What All Moms & Dads Need Today...

 "No, you don't need to know how much you weigh.  Nu, nu, eat... you're so thin, how you gonna get a new kitty, you're so thin??"

 "But you do need to take the baby for a walk.  No, really!!"

 "However, after that, it's time for a nap... or maybe two."

"And incredible cuteness.  New studies have shown that cuteness helps ease the pain of migraines, depression, chronic pain and

aids in insomnia.  Trussssst us!!  We are expurrts!!"

"This is mom this week.  Knives and I are making her feel

better though!  He's in the window perch and I'm laying down

on the floor under him after mom kept telling me that he had

it first today.  I'm being soooOOOooo good.  (even if I didn't

come in from outside when mom wanted to come in

and she had to pick me up and carry me hissssss)"

PS if you love black cats like everyone in my Forever Home, please check out Handsome!  He looks like me and he is lovey dovey too!!  Thanks!! - Audrey
