Formerly Feral Friday

We had bacon this morning....yoo don't get bacon when yoor feral. We thawt about dat while we ate. We hope effury homeless kitty finds a nice, warm, dry place and plenty to eat dis winter. We know da kitties around here will be taken care of, but, dey still won't get bacon. We haf frends we need to purr and purray fur...Bounce, who is suffering da effects of getting older and may need to be helped to da bridge. We know da mom's haf a hard time wif dis but we trust yoo to love us enuff to help us not suffer. Cal, we sure hope da other vet can figger out what is wrong and help yoo to not haf tummy prollems anymore. Speedy knows about dis cuz he haf tummy trubbels since he was a baby. Maggie May, we sure hope it wasn't a stroke and if it was it was just a little one and can be fixed. We is lighting a healing candle tonight and purraying fur all our sick frends and der beans who are hurting...

Sadie-Formerly Feral (I am not fat!)

I'm not allowed to do dis anymore...
I went to da vet for my annual check-up and vaksinations yesterday and do yoo know what Dr. J said? She said I was "pudgy" and need to lose a pound to a pound and a half! Crap, can you beleeve she said that! Mom has moved our food to the basement so we hafta do the stairs to get food and told dad no more chips and crackers! I'm going to freeking starve! Oh wait, I was only about 5 pounds and almost a year old and now I'm almost 8 years old and 11 pounds and last year I was only 8lbs 6oz so, yeah, I see your point Dr. J...Guess I really am formerly feral.

Tuxie Toozday

Today I wood like to tell yoo about my window and what I see from it....dis is kinda long so if yoo want to get a soda or cup of coffee or tea I'll wait....
Okay, ready now...

This is the new kitty perch dat mom bawt at Target. I love it and keep pushing Speedy off when he tries to sit up here wif me *snicker*. In a while mom and dad are going to redo the office/craft room. Dad has alreddy picked out a new desk and mom haf ordered an organizer wall thingie. She alreddy has a sewing table and a big plastic drawer thingie, she just can't get to them cuz of all dad's stuff piled in der. Anyway, dey is selecting colors to paint da walls and stuff like dat and dad sez when dey is all reddy to do da furnitcher mom shood get more of deze fur da windows in der so we can sit wif dem when dey work. Yay dad, good of yoo to think of us! If yoo look out da window I am sitting in yoo can see dat da nice beans across da street haf sunflowers growing in front of der howse. Dey also haf a bunch in da backyard and effury Krissmouse dey bring over fresh roasted sunflower seeds (litely salted) fur der frends. Daddy loves deze and effun shares wif me. Da howse next to dat one wif da big pine tree (der is one on da other side too) is were Max and Maria live, dey is nice beans too. And next to dat is where our frend Emily lives, she is da one dat hooks mom up wif neat Krissmouse and other holiday goodies. She sells dem fur her skool, but dis year she is going to a different skool, I think mom said it is a middle skool. We don't know in da middle of what but we think dat maybe we will hafta get our holiday goodies from one of her little brofurs now. To da east of da sunflower howse (on da rite, yoo can just see da corner of der howse and a little bit of der pretty flowers) is where Nanook lives. Nanook is a jinormus malamute woofie dat Zippy is frends wif. She comes to visit sometimes when mom is out front wif Zippy and she always lays down and lets Zippy walk all over her. Nan, as we call her, lives wif another tuxedo kitty named Shelly. She is named dat cuz da white mark on her chest looks like a clam shell. We'z neffur met her cuz she is an indoor only kitty. Well, dat is about some of da naybors across da street. Maybe I'll get to post again about some of our other naybors. Dey is mostly nice and sometimes da lady beans come over fur coffee and talk about da kids and da park and what to do to make dis an effun better place to live!

Tuxie Toozday

Um, mom, I think we gots a problem...
Ants! Ugh, I hate ants. Looks like I'm spending the day getting rid of ANTS! I found them in Speedy's stinky goodness and it wasn't a pretty sight. Did I mention that I hate ants. No, it's not a reasonable hate, like, say, against cockroaches. It's just a gut reaction. ever since I saw the movie "them" at the age of 6 I just don't like them. These aren't even normal fat butt black ants or little bitty red ants, these ants are dirty brown and a little bit bigger than normal red ants. Speedy sits in different spots in the kitchen and stares at a single ant. That's another thing, there is no "ant line" like normal ants. They're random until they get into his plate of food then there is a mass of them. The kitties will get to spend the day at the spa while mom bombs the ech ee double chopsticks out of these buggers. Then while the bombs are going off I'll be outside treating the perimeter of the house for them. Ugh, I hate ants.
UPDATE: Mom sez not to worry about her using a bunch of chemicals. She has sumfing from her exterminator frend dat gets sprayed around da perimeter inside and it has some kinda spices and maybe flowers in it dat is apposeta repel da ants. He has a bunch of kitties himself so he woodent give mom something dat isn't safe. We think Crews Views mommy is rite, dey are da scout ants and dats why mom wants to stop dem afore dey can tell der frends. We'z not going away fur all day, we'z just going next door to da old ladies howse for a cuppul of hours so mom can yank out da fridge and stove and stuff. She went out yesterday (and she swetted lots) and sprinkled some stuff all over da yard and den watered it. Daddy ushooally does dis but he's been lazy dis year. She also put our food inside a shallow plastic bowl and den filled da bowl wif water, just in case. This morning der were a cuppul of ants floating in da water but none in our food. These aren't carpenter ants, after Zippy drove into da garage door mom and dad got a lessen in carpenter ants big time! Just thot we'd update yoo guys so yoo woodent worry about mom poisening us wif chemicals or sending us away for a whole day or two (she coodent live wifout us fur a whole day).

Once feral, but I liked people...

Dis is my "warming boks" when it's cold outside I push it over by the thing that blows warm air and sit in it until my furs are nice and warm. When it gets a little warmer outside I push it a little bit away (but I still like to get a little heat). Hey, I like to be warm, what can I say. I was about 9 months old when I was captured along with my three babies by a nice lady. I had been living in an enclosed trailer behind a naybors house. I went to a nice shelter and after awhile my babies got adopted but I was still there. Mommy came to see me every day. The shelter people were calling me Shady Lady and saying things about the fact that I had two litters of babies and wasn't even a year old. They called me "loose" which I now understand is a grate insult! I was mad at them for taking my babies, I was angry that they called me names. To show my anger I became withdrawn and very shy. Mom got to know me and finally decided that I needed to come home with her where no one would call me bad names anymore. Mom sez dat I've become a real love and dat she just knew dat wif a little pashence I would be a very good poodin. I'm still a little shy around new beans, but once you've been in my howse for awhile I will come out to say "hi, here is a beyootiful gerl kitty for you to look at". Uncle Gil lived here for a couple of months so he knows dat I'm a good cat. I slept with him every night and when other people say I'm stand offish he tells them that I just don't like them, then he laffs. The trooth is, I really do like beans. I always did. I just don't want to throw myself at them and prove those shelter people right, I am not 'loose'! The piksher below is fur all yoo boy cats - it's a rare siting of my beyootiful tummy! (note the demure tail curl, loose indeed!)

A meme fur me me...

I gots tagged fur a meme by my frends da beyootiful Sophia and hansum Jeter Harris, so here is my 5 reasons why I blog.

1) A'cuz I am a big flirt, and meeting new cats to flirt wif is reely fun!

2) A'cuz I like meeting all da other nice cats and kitties in da blogosphere. Yoo guyz make da world so much nicer.

3) A'cuz if i dident den Zippy and Speedy wood hog da puter and tell stories 'bout me

4) A'cuz I like to learn 'bout all the kitties all over the world, I haf met some reely nice cats and learned lots of stuff I din't know afore

5) A'cuz I heard dat we kitties need to take over da innernets as a start to werld dominashun. Shh, don't tell da beans but we iz gonna rule da world...

'Kay, now I hafta tag 5 other cats so, lets see, who hazent been tagged yet...

Rocky da gutter cat (hubba, hubba!)
DaisyMae Maus, she's a fellow spicy vixen and a pretty gerl cat (I can say dat)
Oreo, not the cooky. He's another hansum man cat! and finally
KC, she's a fine gerl kitty and reely nice too!

Where's Sadie?

Update: I'm home. Dey pulled out a molar and putted in stitches! I can only haf soft food and I gotta take anti-bioteks for awhile. But I'z happy to be home, and Speedy din't hiss or nuffing. He akshooally showed me where mom had put out sum gooshy food and kissed my hed but I'm tired and don't wanna eat or play rite now. Thank yoo all for all the good wishes! I think I need a nap now...~Sadie

First of all, mom took da food away again last nite. Den dis morning when all three of us were in da kitchen asking her to PLEASE, GET OF YOOR BUTT AND GIVE US FOOD she ignored us. Den daddy started closing doors (neffur a good sign) but we were soooo hungry we din't care. Den mom grabbed Sadie and stuffed her in da PTU and took her to da car. Den daddy gave us food and left and mom wuz rite ahind him! When mom came back she wuz alone! She took Sadie away and Sadie is one of da good kitties! Oh no, do yoo think I hurt her when I knoked over da ladder? Did mom take my bestest sisfur away as punishment for my being bad? Will I ever see her again? It's only been a cuppul of hours and I miss her alreddy! I been walking around looking to see if mom sneeked her bak in and hid her sumware, I keep checking her little minky pillow. It still smells like her, but she's not der. I am a sad boy today:( I want my sisfur to come bak mom, I promise to be good from now on if yoo will only bring her bak. ~Speedy

Ugh, he thinks the world revolves around him. Sadie has her teef cleaning today. I told him that but he still thinks mom took her away cuz he wuz bad. It's pathetic the way he's mooning around. I felt so bad for him I even played pass the sponjball for a few minits with the silly poop flinger. I hope Sadie duzent haf to have any teefs pulled. She broke one like I did and they pulled mine cuz it was broke way far down. I act like I don't like them but I woodent want anything bad to happen to them, I meen, dey are fambly after all. ~Zippy

Twofer Tuxie Toosday...

One in grey and white and one in black and white-both rather spoiled
We like to hang out with mom in her crafty room, she even left out a laddur and our carpet stares so we can look out da window. I wonder if she'll leef dem der when dey paint da room? Oh, and we'z not spoiled! We smell furry fresh...

Finally, pikshers of my pressies from Eddy...

Mom has a new kamera-yay. She's still lerning how to use it and wanted to do a movie but coodent figger out how so she just took pikshers. I gess dat will hafta do, fur now.
I knew it wuz fur me a'cuz it said Princess Ziporah on da box....

Mom, please tell Speedy dat it's mine and to get hiz noze off my stuff!
Oh, der iz stuff under dat blue krinkly paper, but Speedy still needs to go...
Ooo, it's a pretty pillow just for me! And it's krinkly and furry, furry soft...
Oh my goodness, der alots of stuff in der, can we open da sponge balls? Oh, who's dat? Wow, it's a piksher of my sweety...
Izn't he hansum, i hope he duzen't find my paws icky, I sometimes am embarassed dat dey iz so short wif da missing toezies.
Do you see dat note, dis iz just for me so I don't hafta share wif anyone, not effun mom!
Omigosh, it'z a beyootiful new collar! Pink with reel make beleeve dimonds. I love it! Oh Eddy, yoo are da most wunnerful boyfrend cat a gerl cat cood effur haf!
Since yoor not here I had to kiss yoor piksher - I've been doing dat alot...
Mom gave Speedy one sponge ball and he'z been playing wif it like a little maniac. He wants daddy to play fetch wif him alla time. Der waz also a kitty stamp in the box and mom sez it's cute and she's been playing with that. Last night Sadie and I shared the pillow on the couch while mom and dad watched a movie, we ushooaly don't like to be to close but there iz just sumthing about the pillow (and the catnip mom put on it). And I also haf been frendlier wif Speedy! Here's proof...
Speedy here, yup Zippy has been nice to me! She didn't even hiss this morning when I asked if she had seen my sponge ball. Then we both got on the bed to help mom make it and she didn't hit me and tell me to go away! And just so Sadie duzent feel left out here's a piksher of her too...
