Mancat Monday

Mom sez I'm her best guy, I like it when she sez dat stuff. We heard this weekend that our Uncle Gil is moving far away, well, pretty far away. Like hours of driving away! He'll be closer to his dawter and that is good but he's gotsa find another job...the one he had is gone now and dats bad. Mom is gonna be gone for two or three whole days, she is going to dad's work to help dem in da office. So she will hafta go wif daddy at 5:30 in da morning and won't get home until almost 5:00 at nite. We won't get to visit our frends all day! Oh, and of course we'll miss mom, but mostly we won't get to visit...dats about it. Zippy and Sadie are pouting cuz mom won't be here but since dey don't like each other they're doing it at opposit ends of da howse so I hafta keep going back and forth to snuggle them. *sigh* It's hard being da little brofur sumtimes.

How to be a good brother and man cat...

Yesterday it was in da upper 70's here. Dat's unushooal fur Wisconsin in March! Mom wuz gone all day but dad wuz here so he opened doors and windows to get da fresh air. I saw a fly on da screen of da back door and called Sadie to see it, she's kinda a fly konisoor. It was kinda a small fly and wuz way up high on da door so I reached up and nocked it down and Sadie grabbed it and ate it. Dat's how to be a furry good man cat and a good brofur too. Later der were more bugs but dad din't get pikshers of us getting dem bugs.~Speedy

'Kay, so I ate a fly, a spider, a whole jar of chik-hen baby food and two of the little bowls of stinky goodness mom made yesterday. For sum reeson my meowing din't make dad crazy, go figger. He only called mom once and dat wuz to ask if he shood warm up da food and if I needed my medisin afore she gots home. I must say, dad did a pretty good job of taking care of me while mom wuz gone. He sat wif me on his lap and spooned up da foods like I wuz a baby! He called me nice things like his little baby boo pretty kitty and let me sit on him lots. When mom camed home we wuz all napping, me and Speedy were napping on da loving seat and dad and Zippy were napping on da big bed. Dad effun amembered to put da crunchy food bowl outa my reach after Zippy and Speedy ate (darn). Oh, and dad told mom dat when he wuz feeding me he kinda missed haffing a baby in da howse and mom sed a bunch of bad words and told him it wuz kinda late in da day fur dem kinda ideas. I don't get it, it wuz only 4:00, she cooda went out and gotted a baby fur him.~Sadie

Pee Ess: dat door is one of da projekts on mom's list now dat she is home alla time. Da floor is anuther and so is painting da howse!

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...

Hi, it's Sadie! It's my purrthday...

It's my purrthday today! I'm seven now. We'z gonna do something fun tonite wif dat guy dat makes da kitty treets and...Huh? He's not coming fur my purrthday, he's coming to hook up a printer thingy? Well...Dat's just not fair! Can I at least haf some ice cream? No! What do yoo mean no! I don't care if it gives me skwishy poops, I want ice cream! *grr*I'm running away, yoor neffur gonna see me again! Oh, iz dat a chedder cheeze tato chip? Well, o.k. just one or maybe two. Oh, yoor gonna go get me some FrostyPaws kitty ice cream, well o.k. then. Oh and can yoo see if dey haf doze shrimp things while yoor there? Yoo will! I love yoo mom...

Shh-don't tell Sadie but mom does haf plans fur her tonite but it's a surprise. Sadie is so silly, mom's capabul of hooking up a stoopid printer! I can't beleeve she fell fur dat. Good thing mom kept her frum running away...wate, she can't go outside, how was she gonna run away!?! Jeff, mom's cuzin dat does puter stuff and makes home made cat treets has one of Sadie's kitties. He got's a prezent fur her. No one knows what it iz but we're hoping it's a stroller! What mom? He duzent know 'bout kitty strollers? Well, I'll bet it's something reely good and I bet we can all play wif it, cuz Jeff is just a good kitty dad - he has 7 fur babies! Oh, and here's a man cat piksher of me fur man cat Monday. I'm just so hansum.

Kitties are Here!

Mom's down in the foster kitty room. Earlier Marva was acting like she was ready to nest and mom kept checking on her but she was just laying around in the foster room so she thought she must be wrong. She went to bed and then about an hour ago Speedy started running up and down the stairs meowing like he was crazy and mom got up and went down there and Marva was having her kittens. She's had two so far and is doing a really good job cleaning them and (this is gross so if you don't want to know skip the part in yellow) eating the placentas. Mom thinks this isn't the first litter she's ever had and that's sad. We know there's at least one more coming because she's still standing up and turning her head back toward the birth canal. The first one was kinda white and spotty and the second looked like a tabby! We can't wait to see the next. Mom's done this before but she always gets so excited. Dad even got up and came to see, and he hasta be up for work in about 3 hours. Oh, and mom's partner in foster, Olivers mom, trapped the male we think is the dad and he had tags but still had his hoo-has so she contacted the owner and gave them information about low cost nooter and they said they were going to do it. don't worry, mom and Germaine will make sure they do. Well, gotta go back to birthing the babies::giggle::~Sadie

pee ess: mom will try to get some pikshers when Marva is done having the babies and they are a little cleaner!


As promised - kitten picture!

I probably won't get any better as mom got mad at me after only two pictures! As you can see there at the top is a little tabby, next is one that looks all white but has yellow/orange rings around it's tail and the little one on the bottom has calico markings along with the ringed tail! I sat with momma for a couple hours and she's wonderful. It's rather dim in the foster room and I had to use the flash to get pictures. After the first flash she covered the kittens with her body. Every time I moved, she covered the kittens! Very protective. Sorry to disappoint any of you looking for kittens but we have 9 homes lined up for 3 kittens! This is a first for me and I'm thinking all our work on people to get their pets fixed is starting to work. As Martha says, It's a good thing.

Tuesday, March 6 - 6:40 p.m.

Speedy here - When dad gots home he went to see da babies and I snuck in and gess what - Marva din't effun get mad at me or hide da babies or nuthing. She let me look at dem! Course daddy wuz sitting rite there, but I woodent haf hurt dem or anything. I even licked one of 'em. Oh, da homes mom haz lined up are furry good and will haf da kitties fixed and take dem to da vet and stuff. She's haffing a lottery thing and putting names in a hat and haffing M draw da names for where da kitties will go. Dat won't happen until da end of April. Da kitties will stay wif der mom until May. In a couple of weeks dey and der momma will go back to M's howse. Until den WE HAF BABIES!
