We Might Not Be Around

Maw's brand new super-fast, tons of memory, etc. pooter has a hardware fault and has to be shipped off to never-never land.

And Maw has to babysit a sticky twin today.

And Maw has to study for her final on Wednesday.

Thirteen Reasons Why We Think Thunderstorms are Skeery

1. The lightning

2. The thunder boomies

3. The rain

4. The hail

5. We get wet if we go out in our cat enclosure

6. The silly weather beans on the talking picture box getting all iscited

7. The noisy water splashing against patio doors

8. The humongous CRACK when lightning hits something

9. The electricity flicks on & off and all the electronics in the house go beep-beep, whirr, click

10. Our fountains turn on & off when the electricity flickers

11. Sometimes if the storm is really bad, then Maw gets skeered and we pick up on her fear

12. Annie howls when it storms acuz she gitz reely skeered of thunder-boomies

13. Sometimes the city warning sirens go off and they hurt our ears

Wordy Wednesday

Part of Grey's physical therapy is swimming. Here are pictures of him in his life vest hanging out in the tub. He doesn't particularly like swimming, and he definitely doesn't care for the blow drying afterward. The Physical Therapist is going to lend Grey a tiny woofie cart to see if he likes wheeling around in it. If he does, then his Mom & Dad will get one for him. The way the carts are designed, the rear toes barely touch the ground, so this causes nerve stimulation in the feet which helps to regenerate those nerve endings.







Here is a picture of Grey on his specially designed Ham-Mick. It is a couple of inches taller than the ones Maw normally make so that Grey can look out his window all day while his beans are at work.

Here's another one of Maw's emails:

My age has been noticed!

I very quietly confided to my friend that I was having an affair. He turned to me and asked, "Are you having it catered"?

And that, my friend, is the definition of 'OLD'!!!!

Wordy Wednesday

Obi did furry well at the V-E-T. He doesn't have any FORLs developing, thank goodness!!!! And he's a very healthy poodin.

Grey is doing much better. Here's what his Mom said:

We took Grey for his check-up EKG on Monday. The Dr was very impressed w/ his improvement. His heart is stable, beating at 120 as opposed to the 240 it was beating when he first went in there on Feb 20th. He was also impressed w/ the responsiveness in his rectum & his legs. His blood work was good too, there were only 2 things a little concerning. He's a little anemic, so they gave us a liquid vitamin to give him once a day & his TSH was a little on the high side, 5.4 & 5.8 is the highest acceptable, so they did a T4 only test & will call us today w/ those results to see if we need to increase his thyroid medicine to 2 full tablets a day instead of the 1 & 1/2.

Grey also has quite a bit of muscle deterioration in his hips. They think he is a candidate for physical therapy, so Mike & I are meeting w/ the physical therapist next Thurs for the initial consultation to see if he is a candidate. I'll let you know what they say.

We've discovered that Grey can "walk" if we hold his hind legs & let him walk on his front legs. He gets very happy when we do that because now he gets to go where he wants to instead of where we think he wants to go. He actually starts to purr when he's "walking" around. It's sooo cute. Hopefully the physical therapy will work & he will be able to walk on his own, soon. :)

So he takes 1/2 a beta blocker twice a day

thyroid twice a day

blood pressure, 1/4 tablet once a day

Pavix, 1/4 tablet once a day

liquid vitamin/mineral once a day

We'll update y'all on what the physical therapist says.

Maw has to go watch a sticky person today. We won't be able to visit blogs. We are behind by like a hunnert responses, so we must apologize for Maw's lack of help.

Happy Noos and Mancat Monday

We are ever so happy that Mu Shue, Lilly Lu, and Iris were brought out by Officers Joe Godino and Pamela Buffoed of the Framingham Police Dept. last night. This is the bestest noos efer. Ifn u gitz da chance, send dem a big Cat Blogosphere Thank You!!! Their address is at the Cat Blogosphere!!!

In udder noos, our very own Orange Boy Obi is going in for his exam and dental this afternoon. He will stay overnight at the V-E-T because if you've ever tried to take food away from 10 poodins overnight, you know this restricts sleeping activity for any beans involved.

Keep Purraying Really Hard and Silly Sunday

NOOS FLASH!!! Lilly Lu, Mu Shue & Iris are alive!!! They were found hiding in their apt., and animal control will try to get them out tonight, but they have been left food and water. Otherwise, Momma Laura gets to go in tomorrow herself!!!! Now we need purrs that they are healthy since they have missed their medications and sub-q fluids and probably have inhaled a lot of smoke!!!!!


Scroll down for Silly Sunday.


And now for some levity, here is another funny email that Maw received:


One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering,
the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing
$1,000. It happened again the next week!

The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected
and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on
the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by
curiosity, approached her.

'Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in
the collection plate,' he stated.

'Why yes,' she replied, 'every week my son sends me money,
and I give some of it to the church.'

The pastor replied, 'That's wonderful. But $1000 is a lot, are you
sure you can afford this? How much does he send you?'

The elderly woman answered, '$10,000 a week.'

The pastor was amazed. 'Your son is very successful; what does
he do for a living?'

'He is a veterinarian,' she answered.

'That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that
much money,' the pastor said. 'Where does he practice?'

The woman answered proudly, 'In Nevada. He has two cat houses,
one in Las Vegas, and one in Reno.'
