Three years ago, on a cold October night, we opened our front door and let two kittens inside. They were in control from the start - we went to the adoption event looking for two cats who had bonded together and didn’t want to be separated; somehow we ended up with two kittens who hadn’t met until we adopted them (they are still working on the ( Read more... )

I often wonder if Veronica understands watch she is watching on TV.

Among the many things I did today was stopping Betty from falling into the toilet and Veronica from hanging herself on the blinds in the window. A mother's work is never done.

I was heartbroken when we had to have our cat put to sleep earlier this year and knew it would be a long time (if ever) before I was ready to even think of being owned by another cat. I figured I would know when the time was right ( Read more... )

For whatever reason, neighborhood cats love to roam through my back yard. Most of them I know who owns them, but I was always worried about one, whom I named Silver, for a number of reasons. I tried to befriend him, but he was skittish around me. I was right to worry, I just found his body in my back yard. Poor thing, I hope he wasn't trying to get ( Read more... )

We took La Princess back to the Vet to check her blood pressure since she started taking the blood pressure meds. The pills are working - her blood pressure was just a tad higher than normal, but the Vet seemed to think that her nerves were what caused that (she drooled on the way home from the Vet, poor thing). The other good news is that she lost ( Read more... )

The vet called this morning with the results of her blood work. For the most part everything is fine, although her kidney values are a bit off. The vet said it's probably because of the high blood pressure and the medication should take of care of it. We're to take her back in two weeks to have her blood pressure rechecked ( Read more... )

We took the cat to the vet today for her annual physical. Usually it's a struggle to cat her in the cat carrier, but she cooperated nicely today, crying only a bit on the way to the vet. Once we got her there, she didn't want to come out of the carrier (I don't think she liked the way the nurse kept saying she was overweight. She knows she's ( Read more... )

My cat was sleeping soundly on my bed, with her head on the foot of the bed. Every so often her head would slip off the end, hang over the end of the bed and wake her up. She'd wake up, go back to sleep, and the same thing would happen. Being the concerned mother that I am, I rushed to move her into a more comfortable position grab the video camera ( Read more... )

My cat has become obsessed with getting into my closet. Of course, this obsession hits hurt around 3:00 in the morning, meaning she wakes me up trying to open the closet door. It's actually sliding doors, and one night she somehow managed to squeeze all 16 pounds of herself into a gap in the doors and get inside the closet, with the doors still ( Read more... )
