our chickies are growing in leaps and bounds!
I SWEAR we went on an outing yesterday, came back and the buff orpington was as huge as our gigantic barred rock (whom, we are starting to suspect may be a rooster after all)!!!! We have been borrowing my mom's dogs at night so she can get a better night's rest. They are cohesive with my dogs; her Bella is my Jacques' daughter and her Bitsy was once my Bitsy lol The kitties are doing well, but after an entire year inside, Eleanor is showing interest in going outside. We don't live on a big road but we live down a hill and people LOVE to speed down it so.....I'm afraid she'll have to wait. Our chickens will not be free ranging for the same reason. This saddens me :( |
The roles are reversed, sort of. Gracie is holding down the back of the sofa and Loki is parked under Gracie's window. I don't think he knows how to get up on the stool, which is fine by me. I'd rather not have cat hair floating in my breathing and eating areas. Both of them got butt scratches and pets and have bellies full of juicy, wet food. Thankfully, they are not too picky but they definitely love their wet food.

Loki keeps jumping up on Gracie as she lies on the edge of the sofa. He is being a sh*t this morning.

Diva Kitty was extremely pleased this morning to have the leftover milk from my Cap'n Crunch. It's a treat she doesn't get very often.
Tiny Dog - who gets Milk Bone treats all the time for doing what she's told - looked concerned that Diva Kitty was getting a treat and she was not, so I gave her a few pieces of cereal. Everyone was satisfied. |
Well, Loki's skulking around Gracie as she eats. Dude's got a problem. Let me go shoo him away.

Monte is so cool. I have a great big bin I keep his cat liter in and he likes to get up there so I put a large bath towel folded in half on the top to make it more comfortable for him. Then I crack the door open so he can see outside, bask in the sun, watch passers by. Whenever I walk by him I give him a little pat. So now every time I go by he waits for me to get near him and give him his pat and then reaches out his paw and pats me. Afterwards he rolls side to side and shows me his belly for a tummy scratch which is so cute. He's such a smart cat, always learning new things and he picks them up so quickly. LOL both the good and the bad which certainly keeps things interesting.

I was out on the deck w/ dogs enjoying the sunset when the puppy was so hypnotized by a helicopter overhead she walked into the house lol banged her face off the house and looked at me like "What Happened " all the time she kept looking where did that noisey thing go !

Baby Briar is a total hellion for Blade (never settles down for him and always chews on him)...she loves him to pieces and knows he lets her be a hellion. But while I've got her, she tries to be a luv bug.

Loki tripped me in his haste to be fed. I'm pretty good at catching myself after 8 months of this but it sure gets old. He's lucky he has other redeeming qualities. Gracie was freaking adorable. She loves to play in the tub while I do things in the bathroom. Now, she's taken to picking up the hair strainer and carrying it around like it's her baby. The thing is bigger than her head!
Currently, she's on the back of the sofa, staring out the window with her pupils tiny slits in her big green eyes. Loki is MIA, which means he's either nursing his ego from getting whupped by Gracie or he's hot and is hiding in the shadows under the furniture. |
My cat loves amazon boxes. Currently, there are three empty ones on the floor in the livingroom. He hangs out in all of them.
So, continuing with my house purge, I needed to start another donation box. So I grabbed one of HIS amazon boxes. I took it to another floor and put a bathroom light fixture in it. Hours later as I was passing through the landing, he was squeezed into the box with the light fixture. (this is what cracked me up) I pretended not to notice, so he took his tail and started smacking the box so I'd look at him, and then he sneered. :-) |

Not horribly unimaginable or am I crazy OR perhaps both? Am often called a crazy cat lady so.....you choose. |
Pets
I posted in a different thread that I have taken over the care (again) of the neighborhood outside kitty. Tonight I went outside to pet her but when my kitten jumped into the window the outside kitty went all Rambo on my hand. I cleaned up but it does worry me.
I think she must be sad that my neighbor's are gone and left her behind. |
Petunia slept with me last night. I woke up this morning to both dogs guarding the bedroom door. Wagging their tails when I rose to take them outside. All three of them can be so affectionate, yet super silly and so adorable. :stillheart:
|
They played with the toy I set up for them when I'm not there. It's some fun stuff....feathers, fuzzy balls, streamers....on a stick so I stick the stick in the sofa cushions so they can wiggle it and bat it and chew on it and it stays right there.
|
Apparently, my dog got lucky today......:|
How do you not see THAT coming? :sunglass: |
They are clinging to my side since I just got back from a weekend away.
|
I have made a mistake and it is not an easy task to untrain.
Last week I started feeding them outside. Now Jennifer Avery and Jeffrey Alan won't eat indoors anymore. Kevie Daniel is not picky. He will eat anything, anywhere, anytime I fill his bowl and offer it to him. Anyway, they have been in and out all day. They want to be outside but after 15 minutes in brutal heat, they want back in the 65 degree bedroom. |

For my own little furlings, Loki went berserk this morning after breakfast. They always feel a little wiley after they eat the wet stuff but he was puffing up at nothing and crying and running all over the furniture. I looked at Gracie and asked her what was wrong with her brother and I swear she shrugged. :blink: For dinner, Loki was so concerned with finishing Gracie's food that he left a bunch in his wet bowl so I called Gracie over to it. Ha! |
Hey Gemme
Wet food is to your kitty babies like sugar is to children.
LOL! Wires them up tight! :) |

Not exactly. I think Loki gets so wound up because it's been a long time between dinner and breakfast and he's still learning how to stretch the dry food from lunch all the way through. Most of the vets I talked to recommended a total wet food diet for them for moisture content but I think they both like the crunch of dry. It's satisfying to them so I make sure they get both. On a related note, I'm whittling down Loki's calorie intake and maybe that has something to do with his newfound spryness. Maybe he's losing weight. It's hard to tell with him. He would be a giant cat if he was emaciated. I think if I can get him between 13-14 lbs, he'll be good. I'll confirm with the vet at the next visit but I'm pretty sure that would be a good weight for him. He's still crazy obsessed with food and that's probably going to be a lifelong thing but once he gets to playing or I run them with the laser pointer, he doesn't think about it so much, so I'm doing that as well. |
