Finally, purrthday pikshers...

We gots a real 'ramic squillion! Meet Oliver, named for da kitty dat lives ahind us and who Sadie and I stare at thru the window. He's a furry good boy and seems to get along well wif all of us. I like sitting on the coffee table wif him and watching dad sleep. We make fun of da noyzes dad makes when he's napping. Mom akshooally gots him last week but waited until Sadies purrthday on Monday to introduce him to us. Here we are just alaxing on da big bed where I spend most of my time. I really like 'ramic Oliver! ~Zippy

This is me and Speedy on my birthday morning. I woke up and founded 'ramic Oliver sleeping on my bed wif me. As yoo can see, Speedy wuz as snoopy as ever. Oliver is a nice kitty, he didn't even try to steel my sleepy pillow. It wuz a furry good purrthday, I napped, ate, played wif Speedy all day while mom was at work. Den she camed home early and made chicken and cheeze ravioli (one of my favorite treets) and den my bean boyfrend Jeff (mom's cuzin) camed over and HE BRAWT ME A THREE HUNDRED ELEVENTY POUND BAG OF HOME MADE CHEDDAR CHEEZE TREETS! Oh, and a new 'mink' cat bed too, but Zippy stole dat rite off da bat. He also brawt a nice framed piksher of my son, who he 'dopted, but he's gotten so big I din't rekognize him. So, dat wuz my purrthday. It wuz nice, I gots treats, treats and more treats. And I got to play wif Jeff! Did I menshun dat Jeff is my bean boyfrend? He loves me and I love him, he's da only bean dat hazent ever lived here dat I let touch me, and it's not just a'cuz he makes us treats. ~Sadie

Here Oliver and I are watching, and talking about, da naybors. Dey were outside wif der woofie and I just wanted to make sher dat Oliver din't get scared. I'm a good big brofur dat way. Den, to show mom how happy I am dat she's gonna be home wif us I threw myself down in da middle of all da paper she was sorting and did kyoot faces fur her. She's finally getting around to cleaning out da files, she sez dey reely don't need to keep all this stuff so she's been burning up da shredder.
Dad is reely happy wif da desishun to let mom quit! He sez it's wonderful to come home and haf her here insted of waiting and waiting fur her. See, he duzent cook and sammiches get old reel fast. And since he reely hates (and ushually won't do) howse work he duzent hafta do anything about cleen undies and sox fur work or nuffing. And he reely, reely likes mom when she's happier and not stressed. Dey been doing goofy stuff again like dancing in da kitchen and dad sings her awake in da morning like he useta! Momma loves it when he sings to her, she gets all goofy and giggly and melty! And dey has been married for 31 years and haf known each other for 37 so yoo see what I meen when I say dey iz weerd beans...

It's Valentine's Day a day of love...

Mom wuz furry surprized fur her birfday, she din't effun know dad cood blog! She iz furry proud of him effun if hiz spelling is bad. She did shovel but sed it'z more fun if yoo arent in a hurry to get to werk. Oh, and dad took her out fur dinner to make up fur her haffing to make her own brekfast. She sez thank you fur all da birfday wishes. Anyway, today iz Valentine's Day! Da day to show your love to da werld, here iz my Valentine fur Misty dat I put in Skeezix kontest

Izint she beyootiful! She iz, and effun more beyootiful inside cuz she'z a furry nice gerl kitty! Dats all I haz fur now~Speedy



Guess I'm suppose to say sumthing about love and Rocky and blah, blah, blah...Yes Rocky iz a furry good looking man cat, but, I like to flirt and talk to all kinds of man cats. I reely don't need a "boyfriend" because I've had them in the past and it wuzent all it's cracked up to be. O.K., I wuzent fixed and neither were they and I ended up "in the family way" and then they took off. And Zippy reely likes Fat Eddy and sez he's furry nice to her and Speedy, well he's just all a twitter over Misty and he's trying to be a good boyfrend and man cat and I'll give him credit fur dat. *sigh* I guess love is good, if I could find a man cat that made me feel the way Misty makes Speedy feel it would be alright, maybe, but where iz such a man cat...~Sadie



Hmm, hi Eddy, my prince. I miss you and snuggling with you. That's all I'm going to say, you people are way to nosy!~Zippy

Oh, I almost furgot! Mom took a piksher of Oliver wif his cast off. His furs is even growing back but he's kinda funny about his naked belly. He wouldn't even let mom touch it and that iz not like him. He ushooaly rolls over like a woofie and wants her to rub it but not now. So, here iz our neighbor cat, my friend, dat mom helped save...




Dats hiz kitty condo in da lawndry room he'z sitting on, dat iz da room he excaped frum 'cept now da hole iz plugged up and he kant get out.

Oliver is doing well...

Mom took me to see him yesterday when she gots home frum work. He smelled funny, but after a little bit I recognized him and we touched noses and he meowed to me. Da tek-ladee akshooaly let me in da caje wif him, dat was furry nice. He has a blue cast on hims leg and a bandaje around hims middle. He lost some wate a'cuz he has a little trouble eating wifout hiz momma der. He ate some treats dat momma brought and den we curled up and did a little moot-chew-al grooming. When my mom kitty sits while his mom takes her anooal trip he comes to our howse a lot and dis is what we do. We also play in da back yard cuz der yard sorta back up our yard so it's like one big meadow, except for the liddul hill behind our howse and da broken fense we gotta get thru. We think the fense shood come down but da moms like da grapes dat are growing on it so dey don't wanna. Dats all, just wanted to let yoo all know dat he's o.k. and will come home on Wednesday! Now I hasta go help mom wif some howsework and washing clothes stuff cuz she haz done nuffing all weekend and needs to get going. Yeah, I'm good at helping!

Mom saved Olivers life....

She did. Yesterday, Sunday, she wuz leefing fur church eerly in da morning. She heered a thud and a car door and then sum ladee came to da driveway and asked if dat little oranj cat wuz ders. It wuz Oliver (achooaly his name is Ah Lover, cuz he's such a lover cat). He gots out of his howse and ran in da road. For doze of yoo who don't know, Oliver lifs in da howse behind ours. He and Zippy are buddies, dey sit in da windows and "talk" and whin dey is out on der walks wif da mommies dey touch nozes and stuff. Dey haf been in der respektif howsholds fur da same amount of time, 10 years, and dey haf been frends since da beginning.
Oh, sorry I got off on da memory fing. So, Oliver is laying in da road, not moving but panting and obviusly in pain. Daddy ran into da house and gots a kitty transport prison boks and a blanky. Dey loaded Oliver in der metal monster and drove (fast, but not to fast) to da 'merjensee vet wif da ladee dat hit him following. Whin dey gots to da hospitul da ladee, Monique, insisted on putting da charges fur Oliver on her plastic money card. Turns out she's a furry nice ladee dat lifs only 2 blocks away. So, while dey is asessing Oliver mom gets on da fone thing and calls Germaine (Oliver's mom) to tell her whut happend. Turns out dey were looking fur him a'cuz dey gots a new washer and dryer masheen and dey moved da vent frum one side of da howse to da uver and put sum plastik over da old hole and da plastik wuz missing and so wuz Oliver. Germaine rushed over to da hospitul and she wuz crying and stuff and dat made mommy cry. Dats rite, mom is uzually pritty kewl in a 'merjencee but seeing Germaine crying made her cry and dat also made Monique cry. Finally mom sez crying izint gonna fix Olly and it'z gonna make dem dehidrate so just stop it, and dey did. Den Germaine sed she haf da VPIpet Inshuranz dat mom tolded her about so da bill will be covered but Monique sed she wood be responsibul acuz she hit Olly and she felted bad, so dey worked it out and dey are going hafs on da bill. It took a long time and den da doktor camed out and sed dat Olly had a broked leg and a rupshered diafram and had to haf serjery like RIGHT DAT MINIT!
So, Oliver is in da hospitul for prolly at leest a week and he has pins and stuff holding his leg togeffur and dey hasta watch him breeve and stuff. Zippy wants to know if she iz allowed to bisit wif him cuz he's her frend but momma sez prolly not but she will ask da 'merjensee vet place. I fink Olly wanted to bisit Zippy and whin Zippy wuzent in da window he desided to explore. It's not all bad. Mom and Gerry made a new frend and Olly will be fine, not perfect, but he still haz his leg and iz alive. And daddy went ovur to Gerry's howse and filled da vent hole and put a new peece of siding on so Olly can't get out again.
Oh, and Pastor Ken, dats why momma wuzent in church yesterday, just in case yoor reeding dis (and he duz sumtimes) and wundering where she wuz.

Oh, and it finally snowed here last night. Mom duzent like it, she sez dat it just means more work fur her and bad driving cuz some beans eefur forgit how to drive in it or are new and don't know how to drive in it. We sugjested she just stay home wif us but she sed she had a lot of stuff to do at werk and maybe if she gots it done she wood come home eerly, we'd like dat.

Update: Mom's home, der is sumfing wrong wif a serfer (?) at her werk. She did gets lots of 'offline' stuff done like filing and filling out uver forms and printing reports fur her meeting tomoro but no reel werk. It's still snowing! Mom sez daddy will hafta get out the loud snow eeten monster whin he gets home. And she called Germaine at her werk and da ladee der sed she took a hafa day bacashun to go see Oliver. Dey won't let Zippy bisit for at least 4 deys but den she iz welcome to go see her frend. And he'z gonna be der fur 10 to 14 dayz, dats a furry long time.
