Smokey, the three pound MegaBunny, was feeling feisty. He'd been caged all day, so I let him out ( Read more... )

This may very well be one of those posts that no one cares about but me, but these are my other friends, cuz y'know... I'm one of those freaks who usually gets along better with animals than people. So here's what's been going on:

Cyclops:  The one-eyed, emaciated, FIV kitty survived his neuter and vaccinations, though not without some nasty side ( Read more... )

Last night, Cyclops was feeling rather frisky. He put a few holes in my hand and chased ribbons, shoe strings, and a fly or two. At the same time, I let Smokey out of his cage so that he could kick up his heels and run a few laps around the room. Smokey greeted Cyclops with a sniff on the nose, which Cyclops returned with a couple licks on the ( Read more... )

Cyclops has had quite a long recovery period after his surgery and vaccinations, but I think we finally have a healthy kitty on our hands (albeit, a bald one where no kitty should be bald).

About 48 hours after surgery, he took a turn for the worse and really gave me quite a scare. I wondered if he was having a reaction to the anesthesia or if the ( Read more... )

We brought Cyclops into the house for the first time last night in order to ensure that we could find him early this morning for his doctor's appointment. He spent the first two hours hiding under the bed. He spent the next eleven luxuriating on my daughter's bed, kneading her with his paws, giving her love bites, and completely taking over her ( Read more... )

Note to self:
When you own a ferocious, 8 foot leaping, avian consuming huntress kitty, having bird feeders in your courtyard just isn't a very nice thing to do.

Cy update:
Cyclops may have some deformity in his front legs that makes them turn out. However, today he demonstrated that the deformity doesn't hinder his agility in any way. He got his ( Read more... )

I can't believe it. My last shipment of books for my final course arrived today. It arrived via DHL. Nothing has come via DHL thus far. Nothing has arrived even within two weeks of when it was supposed to. Now, the rest is up to me. One more course... the one where I actually learn the skills to do my job... then I find lucrative employment while ( Read more... )

Here's the boy...

Cyclops hung out closer to my apartment today. In fact, I even caught him taking a nap under my bedroom window. Yay! He came close enough that Whitney felt she needed to make her ownership of me and the apartment known. I was pleased to see that Cy is quite the friendly sort. He was happy to make Whitney's acquaintance and become her jolly good bud ( Read more... )

I left a bowl of cat food outside under my bedroom window last night hoping that Cyclops would get brave enough to take a few bites. This morning, the entire bowl was gone. No. Not just the food. The whole bowl. I would have blamed it on the apartment management (since we are not allowed to have outside kitties), but I think I would have heard a ( Read more... )
