Going through my cat picture files in my computer and ran across this poster. So true. Although I don't remember how I found this, the original source is in the upper right hand corner.
The kitties and I are so furry thankful for all our blogging friends. You keep the Mom going when her needs a mew burst of energy to look after all us kitties. Please keep us in ur purrz. Especially for Minnie Mew who loves people, but not other cats. If she is abandoned, I can't keep her in the bathroom forever. Purr and pray that there is room for her at another foster or no kill shelter/sanctuary asap.
And Saturdays and Sundays And Mondays. All of which I promised the kidz we would post sometime for Valentines. Well we did manage to visit Sparkle cat's pawty on Friday.
But Mom ain't as young as her used to be, took a lot of naps this weekend!
At least my toe is healing rather well, still have to wear the silly hard open shoe in the cold snow!
Secondly, this pink teddy bear fur Valentines. Mom made this for all our furry friends!
Especially some amazing folks who helped us make it through another week or two til the Mom and Uncle Mike get paid so we cans eat and has litter and stuffs. It also art and was supposed to be for the Caturday Art Blog Hop on Valentines. Please take a copy of dis Teddy Bear!
And Thirdly, the selfie that didn't get posted on Sunday.
That am Minnie Mouse before Mom brought her in and now she's in our bathroom.. Mom kept trying to take her photo, but she kept running up to the camera to see what Mom was doing. Her am a small black kitty with a white belly and she knows how to jump onto shoulders! All the way from the ground.
And she meyowls all the time cause her wants to be on shoulders and not in the bathroom. Funny girl loves people and can't get enough. She scared of other kitties right now and hisses thru the door. We not bad! Honest.
So Mom don't know where her came from, but her likes people and was very hungry and cold outside. Minnie didn't need to be out there. Her an indoor kitty that gotted lost or abandoned. Mom will put a found kitty ad in the paper, and then try to find her a mew home.
Good Morning Tuesday!!! Well guess we gots a new please adopt me girl! Mom will show better photo next Tuesday. Time for Mom to wake up Mike furry soon for work and den her takes Nana to appointment dis afternoon.
Hiya, short Update - will update more by Thursday.
Annette's 2 beautiful long haired kitties went home ahead of her last summer
at 19 and 20 yrs - what a loving mommy. Her funeral was amazing yesterday.
Even the governor came. Got to be with the family last night too. (To catch up
with this update, please see
Sunday Post
and
Friday's Post
)
Really exhausting day where nothing got done, cause I lost the keys. took my
brother to work so I could borrow his car to have lunch with friends who came
into town just for the funeral and then get kitty food, litter, do my kitty
care rounds for 3 diff houses (18 cats). And nothing.
Mike had to find a ride home then he found the keys in the coat I used this
morning, save I don't remember wearing the coat. Wish I could laugh, but I
checked the bank and we're out of money for cat food and litter - and need
both.
Many of the kids have to eat Iams or a corn free formula and we have to use
pine litter (mixed with cedar or pine shavings)
My husband's social security doesn't come for two more weeks. Mike
won't get paid for another two weeks from his new job.
There is a donate button on my blog that goes to my paypal card - used
exclusively for Katiez Katz. Thanks for listening. I'm not eating until my
kitties do.... Wait, that's normal! mol.
(My broken toe will be x-rayed again on Thursday. Seems to be healing well,
but slowly.)
-Katie Kat. Cats Here at Katiez Katz waiting to be adopted:
Bibi: My human sister, Katie took me to ER vet Saturday before last. (Jan 31) Cause I had an owie on my rump (anal gland burst). I hate vets, especially the emergency clinic with big dogs. Most of all, I hate carriers. But the vet gave me shot of Convenia and I am glad to feel better.
I let Nana Mom give me pain meds by syringe once a day cause I know it for helping and my owie is healing really well. Thanks for all your purrz! Please keep me in your purrs, though cause my kidneys don't work right.
Ellie May (Happy) here and I don't look too happy. I went to the vets yesterday. I like my vet okay, but this wasn't a very fun visit. My sisters have all gone to forever homes and I went all by myself in the carrier so no one to cuddle with and play with in the exam room.
Halfway to the vets, I looked at mom thru the carrier door and I just knew where we were going. Well okay, Vet clinic was interesting last time but when can I get out of this carrier! This trip am taking too long.
Finally at the vet I had to swallow a big yucky pill. Why they not put a flavor on these yucky things? That was not fun, but if it gets rid of the bad wormies and helps my tummy feel better then that will be really good. Please keep me in your purrz, cause I am having trouble understanding being held and the vet thinks I should go to a mature home without children because I like quiet.
Mom Lady would like to find me and my Mom Molly a foster home where we can get attention that we need every day. The Mom Lady has to looks after kitties in three different homes, so we usually see her every other day.
The Mom said we can celly brate her purrthday next weekend along with Valentines Day, cause that will be after her goes to the funeral for Annette Hedke which am tomorrow and the Memorial Service which am this Friday.(Annette died on Mom's birthday.) https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/kansas/obituary.aspx?pid=174082286
Us Katie Katz didn't get to meet Annette Beame Hedke (niece of a former New York Mayor), but she was a loving lady who purred (prayed) for everyone. Without her, many humans would not have trusted Daddy God and many kitties would not have been loved. She had two pretty kitties and they will miss her furry much. We don't yet know what will happen to Annette's cats. Please purr for those kitties that their Daddy Person Dennis Hedke, who am a Kansas State Representative, will be able to keep looking after them in Annette's place. Dennis am usually in Topeka during the week, so someone will have to kitty-sit or they may have to find another home. Our Mom says Dennis am the kindest purrson ever with real integrity.

Please let Dennis know you are praying for him and his family, which includes their kitties...

We joined the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop! (we am probably last... mol)
Talked to the vet Wednesday and come to find out, that Ellie and her sisters did not get meds for Tape Worms in December! They got meddies for all the other baddies!
So guess what Ellie is going to get today? Yep meds for tape worm baddies. Cause that may be her problem. I saw wormies in her pooh in December and thought they were round worms. The vet assistant said I was describing tape worms. Poor baby, no wonder she is still having tummy problems. Will keep you posted about how Ellie does after deworming. She may have a mew home, but still pending. Also today, I go to see the doctor about my toe and get scheduled for another x-ray. Still my worst owie though and can't bend it yet, going on seven weeks now.
Yesterday was my birthday. Spent today taking mom to her doctor's appt. Had planned on a kitty trashing party for birthday Sunday, but last night found out a dear friend died tragically yesterday morning. I can't bring myself to organize a birthday pawty now or to ask for funds for my babies.
Without her, my husband and I would not have met. Her vision led to a beautiful congregation of believers in the Messiah both of Christian and Jewish backgrounds. She never met a person she didn't care about.
Yesterday morning, after picking up snacks for the Bible Study she leads, she tripped near her car in the grocery parking lot. Then hit by an SUV and dragged 15 feet to her death. I am still in shock and sadness.
I know only two other Godly people taken away in such horrific freak accidents, one was singer Rich Mullins. (The other - prayed for my husband who was sick with the flu and he became well immediately.)
In tribute to my friend, Annette Hedke, please watch these videos:
Missed everyone for Selfie Sunday. Some Good Mewz! Nana (my mom) is doing better from her cold. My broken toe seems to be healing well, but still wearing hard soled open shoe and toes taped up. Will be going back to my clinic for another xray, which is free! Via Christi cut my bill in half from the ER visit, but still over $500. Will be contacting them today to get financial assistance...
Nana's Bibi went to the Emergency Vet Saturday. Anal gland had ruptured. She got a Convenia shot and is taking pain meds while the gland heals. $252.00. Thank goodness hubby sent birthday money (Birthday is tomorrow) - helped about half of cost. No money to take her for followup to Vets. Thank goodness convenia shot and pain meds seem to be working!
A Happy Ellie Selfie
"Happy" actually likes names that sound like her Mom's name, which is Molly. So been calling her Ellie May lately, as in the Clampetts Ellie May from "Beverly Hillbillies" TV series.
Getting some calls about adopting Ellie May, but Molly and Ellie need to be together.
And to make matters more complex, Happy Ellie is showing signs of a sensitive stomach: she bristles after eating and tightens her abdomen. She even had a mild reaction to having Revolution drops back in December where she almost threw up. Will start her and Molly on a Corn-free food, but I don't know of a dry kitten corn free food, so will have to use an adult food mixed with corn free canned kitten food, like Iams.
Hope a change of diet is all she needs, but she will also needs a cbc - blood work to check for signs of inflammation before she gets spayed. Will be calling our vet in the morning to find out the price for that. He does offer discounts. His spay prices are very high because he uses same monitoring equipment used for humans. Yet Ellie May needs to be monitored more closely due to her odd reactions to chemicals. The cheapest place I would consider (Cat Hospital of Wichita) costs 80.00, not counting her shots, office visit, etc. Ellie is one of five cats that need spayed. The other four are Ellie's mom Molly, Angel (a cat pulled from same home as Molly and her kittens), Annie May and Lulu. Annie May and Lulu had upper respiratories as kittens and should be more monitored during the spay process, which leaves out using the low cost clinics who do not use monitoring equipment. I keep trying to save up money for spaying, and then another emergency, kitty or human related occurs and uses up funds saved. (I'm still waiting to get new glasses after my retinal reattachment surgery on my left eye from two years ago.) All my boys are neutered. If you haven't checked this furry mewz yet....Trucker is a furry miracle! http://www.kyhumane.org/trucker
(Update 2023: Link and photo no longer available)
Trucker survived being thrown from a car. His story just keeps me inspurred.
More Mewz Later, Katie.
