Kerplunky Thing

Ize am doing lots better! I waz furry goods and tooks my medicine dat was really weird tasting raspberry in a syringe that the Mom mades me swallow in between eating my favorite things like Fancy Feast kitten Turkey and Yummy Chicken dat Mom Cooked fur me.   We am sooo furry thankful that Brian and Gracie at Brian's Home am had amazing recoveries too!  Gracie was really bads sick and now her am home and well again.

Bear tries to open Dis Am Mine

Duz anybody remembers da Kerplunky thing? Dat waz in da Thanksgiving post. Sum of you mites remembers dat Mom wouldn't let me eat Dis am Mine all by myselfs and dat I hads to share.  While I tried to open Dis Am Mine, Joey rolled the Kerplunky Thing into the hallway. Well I finds out - the Kerplunky Thing was really just fur me! 

Mom Opened the Kerplunky Thing

Mom took off the kerplunky stuff and there were 3 cans of kitty food!  Me the one really eating canned foods cause sum of my cousins tummies go whacky wif canned foods...  

Mom says the canned foods are called Purrfect Bistro and they came frum some place called Chewy.com.  We gotted two Beef Wellington and One Surf + Turf Pate.

Purrfect Bistro

Lil Bear Tries Purrfect Bistro Beef Wellington

Here I am eating the Beef Wellington fur my evening meal. It was very yummy, but not very filling...Mostly gravy and hardly any meat at all.  About 3 in the morning, I woke Mom up cause my tummy was rumbly and needed more foods!  Mom fed me Fancy Feast foods which I gobbled ups and was very full.

Lil Bear Tries Purrfect Bistro Surf n Turf

So next night, the Mom let me try the Surf + Turf Pate... The Pate was much more filling than the Beef Wellington. 

The Mom says Purrfect Bistro changed the recipes and we gots to try the new formula.  The Mom thinks it would have been fun to try the old recipe too.

Dats my purrview.  We want to thanks Andy at Chewy.com fur sending us this wonderful package just before Thanksgiving.

Fur me, The Beef Wellington could works as a treat and the Surf + Turf was good when added to dry foods.

Lil Bear ventures out of the carrier

Last week when Laura Belle was sick, I started sneezing and sneezing... I hates sneezing. I was like sneezing all the times! And I gotted a sore throat and couldn't yell at the mom.  

Well on Monday morning, the Mom tried to give me my favorit Fancy Feast Kitten Turkey, I just ran around and around the bowl... Mom! 

How you eats and sneeze and breathes at the same time??? Ize hungry!  I couldn't figure out how to drink water neither so the Mom gave me three mouthfuls of foods and then I figured out the food stuff and ate some on my own. Then she open my mouth and puts water in it.  Stops that Mom! I can open my own mouth!  Okay.. I hop on your lap and tilt my head.  Den you tip the spoon and I open my mouth myself okay? Mom was very thankful that I knew she was trying to help me.

Dr. Johnson listens to Lil Bear's lungs

The Mom called Dr. Johnson and he could see me in the afternoon.  I was running a small fever and thankfully all the coughing and sneezing was just in my head and not in my lungs.  So Stephanie, thats the lady holding my paws, gave me a yucky pill and then the Mom tooks me home.  She gave me a little bit of a yucky pill called clortab, but it didn't seem to help.

Tuesday I hads to takes more yucky pills like the one Stephanie gave me! The Mom said that those yucky pills am Clavamox and our pharmacy was ordering doxycyline, but they didn't have it yet.  By Tuesday night, I ates some for the Mom and even drank water that night all by myself!  

And then this morning (Wednesday), I had to take another Clavamox.  I'm still sneezing, but not every second like before Dr. Johnson helped me.  I don't likes meds, but Mom and I am so furry thankful Ize feeling better... The pharmacy gots the doxy in so the Mom will pick that up tonight.  I don't think I will like it though... at least it not a yucky pill.

Please keeps me in your purrs... we will tells you more thankful stuffoms in our next post.

We still needs to tell you about the kerplunky thing frum Thanksgiving!  We will do that furry soon... And we gots our the Secret Paws 2013 mailing done too!

Thanks fur all da purrz,
Lulu.

Two Posts and a Purr Please

I-Love Lulu

Good Afternoon furry Friends... My name is I-Love Lulu... yes dats my name... 

Evfurrybody just calls me Lulu or Lu fur short. The Mom named me after a street and someone named Lucille Ball cause I has a jester face and loves to play and make folks laugh. I was a bit of a Lulu when she first brought us in.  I wasn't good at trusting peeple yet... Now I loves them and makes chirpy sounds just to say I love you.  I'm not sure why she thinks I look like a ball though.
Furrst ams all we am doing Secret Paws dis year!  Weze am doing ours in two furry fun parts... One frum the Dad who am in another country and one package from all us kittiez and the Mom in America!  If we tells where the Dad am, it might give away where it am going...Well part one frum the Dad am mailed on Monday but the mom furgotted to tell the dad purrson about taking a photo...

Little Sammy in Da Box n Toby

He doesn't has a camera...sooo... weze tellz u dats der am fun stuffoms init.... sum treetz and Soft Toys Fur Whoppin (dis am clue)!!  The Dad said sumpin waz pink or blue but he dint send us a photo... (Dis Sammy in da box and Toby when dey waz little)  More bout dis in the postie about Mom's mailing...

Secondly, my brother Joey the Nike cat wons sumpin!  At The Opinionated Pussycat, Joey entered a survey give away! Here's the survey questions:
1. When does your human choose to give you treats?
and/or 2. What do you do to get them to do your bidding and give you treats? 3. How much do they give you at each serving?

Joey the Nike Cat

 Heres what Joey said:

Well I have to remind her to give out the treats to everyone you know... Lil Bear just yells at her and the Lady goes running to the bedroom to feed him... what about the rest of us? So he's the youngest... he's not little any more. He should eat with us in the kitchen... and we should eat his food for him... oh wait...that's why she closes the door.

Back to this treat thing. Sometimez when the dark comes through the windows, the Mom Lady rattles the treat bag.

How do I get her to give me the treats I require?

I have to reminder her that I am the main cat and should be fed first. I remind her by jumping on her shoulders. See I am the main boy cat. Nobody else does that.

Oh wait, Lil Bear keeps imitating me... He keeps getting on her shoulders. THAT'S MY JOB!!!

The only problem is that the Mom Lady needs to grow bigger shoulders now that I am about 14 inches long from shoulder blade to hip... She doesn't listen. Maybe if she ate the treats too then her shoulders would get bigger... oh well.

The Mom lady hands out these green crunchies and they are wonderful... I make her give me a ton of them of course. They are mine. All treats are mine. I am the NIKE CAT. I have to keep up my strength to save kitties tied to railway tracks and you know, Hero stuff.

And him won first place!!! wowee! Dats meens Joey has to share his Ideal Balance treets when they come!

Thirdly, this am my sister Laura Belle...

Laura Belle

Her am having the sniffles... The Mom am taking her to see Dr. Johnson dis afternoon fur hur sniffles... You see us four kits hads upper respiratory infections when we waz likes 3 weeks old. Sumtimes we have the sneezies still but we gets over dat. Laura not getting betters and bins sneezing and drippy nose fur lots of days. So her needz purrz. 

Soon us gurls will need our lady surgeries and we are going to Dr. Johnson and nots a low cost clinic cause we waz sick as little girls and Dr. Johnson will monitor us during surgery and make sure we am safe. 

Weze gonna finds out how much that will be and ask Dr. Johnson to set up an account dat you can donate to helps us gets our surgeries safe and sound and comes home healthy. 

Anna May

When Angel went to the Rainbow Bridge after her lady surgery, the Mom decided that it am best dat me, Laura Belle and Anna May (formerly Pattie - she didn't like the puffy sound of "P" -mom ) will go to see Dr. Johnson. Since he will be using all the latest surgery equipment like heart monitors and oxygen and stuffs it will cost more...yet we will comes home safe and sound.  And dat am worth everything.  We will get you the information on how you can donate directly to Dr. Johnson fur our surgeries and how much funds we will need.
Furry thanks so much fur stopping by and do please purr fur Laura Belle... We will have updates in our next postie.

Purrz n Stuffoms

A Quick Postie Bout Katie Too

Hiya Folks, This am Katie Too.

I am being featured in the photos at Willowbend Animal Hospital's Facebook Photo Album.

Thanks to our Friends Karen in Australia and Brian's Home, I went to the vets last Furryday, November 1st.  All the meanie tape worms am gone bye bye!!!

Please keep me in your purrz.  I will be 11 years old in January 2014. 
Dr. Johnson found a new thing in my check up.  I have a slight heart murmur.   

Also, we have changed the banner on our bloggie and I somewhat approove...the tabby cat is cute, but no idea who the kitty is and I really think the Mom should use one of us kitties with a newspaper...that's what I get for taking a looong nap from blogging with the Mom.  Well she promises to make some photos sooo we'll see whooo gets the bestest pix.  

And pleeeze Mom, get a new photo of Joey and his sisters... they are much bigger now than that little pic at the top!  Joey is like the longest cat I have ever seen!!! And he's only 6 months old!

I am back as the Junior Executive of Katiez Furry Mewz, so I will be posting Mewz more often.

Especially since I should be spending more time with the Mom versus all these foster kitties!  Really Mom... find their homes already!  They need their moms and I need mine!  Oh all right, I guess Lil Bear can stay and maybe Doobie... Toby is Uncle Mike's cat...but that's it! Seriously.

Purrz,

Wordless Wednesday - Angel's Lil Bear Pose

Benjamin Lil Bear says,
"HELLO WORLD!"

Angel Has Gone to the Rainbow Bridge

With sad and heavy heart I must share that On Thursday morning just after her spay surgery, Little Bear's Mom, Angel leaped over the rainbow bridge.  The Vet believed she had an adverse reaction to the anesthetic.  They had just placed her back in the carrier after her surgery when she gave a gasp and past away... 

No charge from the vets... Donations given for her surgery will help pay for her memorial urn from Pet Angel.  Any donations for her memorial would be greatly appreciated.

Thursday afternoon, as I woke from a grieving nap,  I believe this message came to me: "I'm happy now."  Maybe she was given a choice to return to a harsh life outdoors or come home. The vet told me Angel was actually much older than I thought.  Who knows how many litters of kittens she had in the past...  I do know that this 7 kitten litter was so stressful that three kittens lost their lives... The stress of the labor may have left damage that we couldn't see.

With loving memory to a smart and caring Mommy cat who never got to know the love and purrz that her kittens will know... but now knows the peace and joy beyond the Rainbow Bridge. Maybe her kittens met her on the other side...

There will be a Day...

Little Bear Furry Mewzday Update

Hey ya peeplez...
