Katie Kitty Too

Katie Kitty Too Finished helping Mama blog and jumped down from the computer chair. Her went to join the singing practice fur the last night of Hanukkah.

Flash the Hero Cat

Today, Flash the Hero Cat was joining the Mewzers and him didn't know much abouts Hanukkah so him kept interrupting with questions....

 Katie Too Started the Mew Song...

On the First Day of Hanukkah my True Love gave to me...

Others joined in... A Picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: Wait... Who is Judah Maccabee?

Angel

Angel the Fetch Kitty: Is he the guy who Whacked Bees with Hammers?

Katie Too: No! Judah Maccabee saved the Jewish People from the mean King Antiochus Eppiphaneez...who wanted to sacrifice a pig at the temple.  Judah Maccabee and hims brothers fought the Greeks and made them go home. Then they rededicated the temple and found oil for one day to light the menorah, but it lasted 8 days!Judah was called The Hammer, that's what Maccabee means.

Angel: but Joey said he whacked bees.

Lulu and Joey

Lulu: Yep that's what Joey said.
Joey the Nike Cat Hero, Flash's half brother: Oh, I thought his name was Judah Whackabee.
(Joey snuggled with Lulu, waiting to sing again)

Angel: Can we whack mousies when we done singing?
Katie Mom: sure... lets start again.

On the Second Day of Hanukkah, my True Love gave to me, Two Matzah Balls and a Picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: What are Matzah Balls?
Katie Too: That's like a dumpling made of flour and cooked in chickens. Bear likes chickens.

Lil Bear: but Joey said they were bouncy balls that didn't bounce.
Katie Mom: Depends on how hard the dumplings are... On to the third verse. 


 On the Third Day of Hanukkah my True Love gave to me, Three Sufganyot, Two Matzah balls and a picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: What am Sufganyot?

Bootsie Woo

Sufganyot

Bootsie rolled around on the floor and lost her kippah again: Dats yummies fur humans with jam and stuffs.  Dey eats dats in Israel at Hanukkah.

Lil Bear

 Lil Bear: But Joey said sufganyot was soup to go with chickens in it for the bouncy balls that don't bounce.
Katie Too: Joey!!
Joey: Sounded better than jelly. Unless am catnip jam...

Katie Mom: Sufganyot and matzah balls are not in the same dish, Joey. Okay, on with the fourth verse.

On the fourth day of Hanukkah, My True Love gave to me... four potato latkes, three sufganyot, two matzah balls and A Picture of Judah Maccabee!!

Flash: Okay, what are potato latkes?

Maxwell Tigger

Maxwell Tigger: That's potato pancakes and they taste goods with tuna.
Lulu:  Joey said they were potato latch keys made to open the door to the cat food closet.
Joey: or to the tzedakah box - the giving box fur donations and stuffs.

Katie Mom: Joey, you can't make keys out of potatoes... Fifth Verse!!

On the Fifth Day of Hanukkah, my True Love sent to me...
FIVE GOLDEN GELT!!!  Four potato latkes, three sufganyot, two matzah balls... and a Picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: ummm... what are gelt? (wondering what Joey has to say this time)
Joey: oh that's just money made of chocolate... we can't eat those.  Now if someone would make them out of cheese...

On the Sixth Day of Hanukkah my True Love Sent to me... Six dreidels spinning, FIVE GOLDEN GELT, four potato latkes, three sufganyot, two matzah balls... and a Picture of Judah Maccabee! 

Read from Left to Right

Flash: What are dreidels and they spin? Sounds like fun
(Now Flash had Joey's attention. He sat up excitedly)

Joey: Yes they are lots of funs... They are spinning tops and when humans spin them, you can chase them til they fall over. Dreidels in America have the Hebrew letters Nun Gimmel Hay and Shin which stands for Nes Gadol Haya Sham. (typo fixed), that means A Miracle Happened There. In Israel the Dreidels have a Pay letter instead of Shin for  Nes Gadol Haya Po, A Miracle Happened Here.

Flash: Where did Dreidels come from?

Joey: Well tradition says the game started as a way of memorizing Torah when reading Torah was outlawed by the Greeks, yet the game really didn't start then. There am a good site to reads about that. http://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-origin-of-the-dreidel/
 
Katie Mom: Let's finish this song and then we can look at the website.

On the Eighth Day of Hanukkah my True Love Sent to me
8 candles glowing, 7 Golden Menorahs, 6 Dreidels spinning, FIVE GOLDEN GELT, 4 potato latkes, 3 sufganyot, 2 Matzah Balls... AND A PICTURE OF JUDAH MACCABEE!

Oreo and the Hanukkiah

Flash: Okay, I really like this song... one more question. The menorah is a candelabra and has 9 candles for lighting. There are eight candles for the eight days of Hanukkah. What is the ninth candle for?

Kitty Menorah

Oreo: That candle is called the Shamash or servant candle and lights all the other candles in the Menorah.

Flash: Thank you everfurry one fur letting me sing with you!
Now Joey and I must be off to save the worlds before the Mew Year!
   (Flash and Joey run off at the speed of Light to finds hero things to do to saves the worlds, one kitty at a time.)

>^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^<

Meowry Christmas Eve Purrz Fur Gordo and Miracle Stuff

Hiya everyfurry one on Christmas Eve and stuffs
Chiquita helping Mom blog again. We haz Sunday Selfie photos from Gordo at the Vets Last night...

We know lots of cats and dogs gets their posts done the night before...
Katie Mom and Auntie Silvia were in the Vet Emergency Hospital with Gordo late last night.
The cost was $239.00 that needs repaid... If you can helps with that, plz paypal to laugh_safely at yahoo dot come. thanks so much.

He had a urethra removal surgery over a year ago and sometimes he gets UTI. Gordo got an antibiotic and a pain meds and will see his usual vet after Christmas.

We are furry worried about Gordo. He eats good, but lost seven pounds over last two years... He is only 8 1/2 pounds when he should be 10 or 11. He had blood tests run and thyroid levels are on border of hyperthyroid, blood sugar ok. ER doctor said could be chronic mild urinary infections that go undetected. Auntie Silvia tells me my cousin Gordo gotted furry sick as little boy and almost didn't make it... we don't know if that has anything to do with his health now.

Please keep Gordo in your purrz and prayers.
You can read posts about Gordo here (http://katiezfurrymewz.blogspot.com/search/label/Gordo)

On a furry goods note, Peaches and Paprika gotted their You Tube Holiday slide show up now...
Our Christmas Card am about time 3:39! Ours features Jeremiah Midnight resting on a blankie, one of our foster kitties who am now with Cattails in Manhattan. We all voted and thought him looked soo sweet dat he could be our spokes-cat this year.

If you hazn't gotted our Chrissymouse card badge yet, here it am again:

And now fur a little Christmas / Hanukkah Miracle story as purrmiced.

This miracle happened on the last night of Hanukkah last week. And Hanukkah am all about miracles! 

Katie Mom hauled truck and trailer. Her had not driven a truck with a trailer on it fur a gazillion years! (well maybe twenty or so... mol - Katie Mom)

Well first when you gets to the transfer station.... you haz to pay some moneys up front while on the first scale. So Mom did that and left her waist pack open by mistake.  While throwing all the wood from an old RV and yucky trash out, some of the wood lifted up the bag and her billfold fell out...

Mom didn't notice until back on the second scale after emptying.  Mom, the other worker with her and a trash employee moved all the yucky trash and they all purred and prayed and stuffs.... Mom felt a funny peace and didn't panic.  and then her billfold gotted founded! Mom did her happy dance and hugged everfurry body!  But forgotted to make sure all the cards and Drivers License was still there... her has no idea why she didn't notice when finishing paying the rest of the fees at the empty scale.

Well later that night while at the store, looking fur store fuel points card - that's when she noticed credit cards and driver's license missing... and that's when her tried to worry again... yet that Holiday Peace came over her again.  Mom had to wait until the next day. She called the trash transfer place and Lo and behold!!! They had her driver's license.  Still had to call credit card companies... though.  Still dat's our Hanukkah and almost Christmas Day miracle.


See you tomorrows... 
Happy Christmas Eve,
Purrz and Prayers,
Chiquita and the Katie Katz
Gordo and Auntie Silvia

Guero and Ronnie - Thank You For Praying

 
Happy Hanukkah!!! 



Thank you so much for your purrz and prayers for Guero on Monday....

Because or your support, both Guero and his brother Ronnie were able to go to the vet Tuesday morning...

Guero had UTI and could not keep anything down - with diarrhea over the weekend...

And Ronnie was really sick too with upset stomach and fever - They are both doing much better this morning... Thanks to their vet visits.  And Guero has taken a liking to strawberry yogurt!

Turned out Mischievous Ronnie found something to bite into (Clear Eyes) - naughty boy. Silvia does her best to keep things from him and he hasn't gotten into anything in long time, but he is good at opening cabinets... He was still having hard time last night throwing up on empty stomach and curled up in a ball. Doctor had given him a combo shot of antibiotic and steroid yesterday morning.  Yesterday Evening Ronnie got a pill to reduce the stomach cramps.  Late into the night, he nibbled on some favorite food and kept it down!

Over the weekend Silvia took Guero to the ER and had to borrow funds from the motel owner - who still needs to be paid, about 400.00 dollars. She is working it off by cleaning rooms, but he only takes off about ten dollars a day - Silvia can't find a new place next year or look for real work until the motel owner is paid off.  If you can help Silvia and her cats - We are praying for work in the new year - economy is slowly getting better here in Wichita - going to take time - and costs double just to move into somewhere else.

We have been scrapping metal to raise funds, but have not been able to get enough in to save funds to move out of the motel, to pay the motel owner or cover other debts... And another environment with a real home would be so much better for Silvia and her babies, Mama Narcisca, Gordo, Guero, Ronnie and Sister Natasha. A real home would make it so much easier to keep the babies safe and things away from naughty Ronnie.

We still need to catch at least one more outdoor kitty at the motel. Her name is Chica and she hangs out on the window ledge or Silvia's room.  Her brother Chico may be harder to catch.  Chica is getting to where she lets Silvia touch her and pick her up.  

We are going to keep the You Caring fund up for Guero for now and add updates - Silvia and her babies have come so far - they don't want to give up now and wind up homeless .... Seriously if we can't move forward - all there is backwards - Silvia has no family - they have rejected this beautiful caring woman with such a caring heart and I will never understand why.

More updates furry soon.
Katie Kat the Mom... 
Happy Hanukkah!!!
