Caturday Art With Kody Lil Bear

Kody Glows in the Dark

Hiya Folks! Kody here. Mom turned my photo in to a glow in the dark painting...  I not really glow in the dark, but my purrsonality will warm your heart if you takes me home to be your forever fur baby. Aren't my copper gold eyes to loves for?

Kody Colorific

Well, Auntie Jan at the Funny Farmers asked a furry impawtant question abouts our last postie.
Where am the Mama cat and how am her doing?

Well, Her name am Jay Jay and her still coming to Uncle Mike's Patio to eats.  Yesterday, her was napping in a porch chair.  Late last night, her stood in the way of Uncle Mike parking the car so Mom got out and coaxed her to the patio and gave her some foods.  Mom was giving canned foods wif dry when capturing the kittens.  Right now Mom giving her dry to make sure her not haz more milks n stuff. 

This morning Jay Jay was not on the patio when Mom put out foods... Hopefully we will see her later today.  Mom will try and get her photos this weekend to post for you.... her needs caught and spayed furry soon... which will cost between 47 to 60 dollars depending if we gets accepted for helps from Friends of Felines.  (There am another kitty right now who comes to the patio sometimes, but him will be even harder to catch)

One more fun art photo wifs a history lesson by Mom: 

Jay Jays Brave Kitten Boy in Platinum

This photographic technique was called Platinum - Popular from 1873 - 1920. This photographic method used platinum based developing materials and placed the paper in direct contact with the negative. The resulting high quality prints were very stable and lasted for decades, but the platinum made this method very expensive.

Purrz From Kody, Mom
and Jay Jay's Kittenz.

Kitten Rescue Update - Finally

Hey guyz...

Kody here still waiting for my furever home and I iz getting bigs for a little boy who am only 4 1/2 muffins old!  I sure hope I finds a panther loving Mommy soon! Just looks at my gorgeous gold eyes!!

Mom am gots the So Tired Her Wants To Sleeps a Gazillion Cat Naps Syndrome 

What with me being such a rambunctious little boy keeping her up at nights playing with her clothes instead of sleeping.

I don't understand all dat mom does but lots of stuffs to do make her tireds....

all the Katie Katz at different homes to looks after and Nana (Mom's Mom) havings lots of doctor appointments...

not to mention house cleaning, including Mom's and Brothers house, fixing mom's window for air conditioner (still not done) and mowing lots of lawns and raining and...and capturing kittens.

well you gets the picture...  and only one computer and no smart phone for updating blogs and Facebook n stuffs...

And Nana gets sompin called an MRI next week to check her brain cause her been having headaches behind her left eye.... likes when her had her brain opurrated on 10 years ago to takes out a tumor... Nana and Mom sure praying dat tumor not growed back...  Please keep her in you purrz.

Golden Tabby Calico Baby

Now bout them outdoor kittens...at brother Mike's house.  Mama told me the whole story while we played and stuff.  Dat Siamese baby gotted a home and den it rained and rained and the Momma cat was coming to the patio but not any babies.  A couple days after our last blog post, Mom went looking for the babies and found them stuck in the garage of the empty house next door!  They was peeking out of a hole with bricks in front of it! She moved the bricks and put down foods for them to eats and backed away... Two babies came out to eats and Mom quiet like a Cherokee (her am dat), she crept back close... One baby ran back in, but one kept eating... SHE CAUGHT HER!  and tooks her in the bathroom.  That was likes two weeks ago.



But the other babies were harder to catch... Finally last Sunday, she gotted a kennel set up to catch them, but the owner of the home came by and knocked it down, even though he borrows brother's lectricity... he didnt even come knocking on the door.... Well Mom heard a noisy grass cutting monster and ran over to lets the guy know what was going on and found the kennel fallen down and a big brick on the hole... and one kitten scared and ran off with Mama cat while the others stuck behind bricked up hole.  Well Mom kept her cool sorta and the guy apologized and helped her put the kennel back up... cause he didnt want kittens and a mama cat hiding in hims old garage neither cause he had gotted fined for critters hiding in his garage... He even gave Mom his phone number and some kitty traps.

Brave Black Kitty Boy

Well later that evening after everything had calmed down, Mom put food in the kennel and wonders of all things, Mama cat and the kittens came and ated in the kennel.... Mom had a string tied to the gate. She pulled it, but the kennel wobbled and all the babies ran back in the hole.... shoot... Mom had it all sturdy before that man wrecked everything.

Mom tried again the next day after it rained awhile and caughted one more kitten... Hooray!  and then that night, Mom caughted the other two with the trap.. very quiet trap... one kitten more and then put the trap out again and caught the last baby!  Hooray!  We tells you a fuller story later....

Brave Tuxie Baby Boy green eyes

Well now there am four kittens in brother Mike's bathroom and then Me and Mama Mew am staying the in the computer room for a whiles....  They dont gots names yet.  Two Girls and Two Boys... about 5 weeks old... They am very silly and hiss and mom then let her pick them ups... course the first girl am starting to likes Mom okay cause her been in the bathroom the longest.

Mom says that the girls may to find homes for cause they getting used to people faster...  and they am cutes... well not as cute as me though...  so looks for them on Facebook.  If that not works then Mom has a friend who may be able to foster them.  (they needs baths for fleas too! Glad dat not me gettin a bath)

Tortie Calico girl needs tummy rubs

The boys may have a place to go with a rescuer guy though...

So I sure hope they gets out of the bathroom soon!  

Purrz n Stuffs,
Kody Lil Bear

Oh and be sure to cheks out the All Ears For Bootsie Auction!  Sweet abandoned kitty boy needs ear surgery soon.  ($1330 of $2,000 raised!)

A note from the Mom:
We don't have money to bid this time as I always try to buy something to help with cats-in-need auctions... but when the monthly check comes in two weeks will donate something for Bootsie's surgery then.... 

We are barely going to have money to feed everyone for the next two weeks (including myself and my family) and we need funds to give to the rescuers who will take the kittens. One foster friend who works with LAPP (Lifeline Animal Placement and Protection) may take them, but she needs funds to support the kittens and get them socialized (in order to add them to the kittens and cats she is fostering already) or she won't be able to help save them.

I have some food to give with the kittens, that's all.  I always hand out food and litter to those who adopt my cats and kittens. Also, since no funds came in to get the flea meds from Walmart, will use my Sears card to get the flea meds for everyone from Kmart's website - thank goodness that Kmart is part of Sears....will cost a bit more per package (and interest)... gotta win the flea wars!!!  

If you can spare some change to help these kittens have a better life and not have to go to a shelter, please click on the paypal link in the right hand column.

Purrz to all,
Katie Kat.

Thankful Thursday Riley Finds Forever Home

"Thank you, Jesus for my little boy cat"

On Tuesday, I got the most interesting phone call from a kind Samaritan who wanted to help a woman at his church find a little boy kitty to call her own. (Funny thing about camera angles. Riley really isn't that big.)  He and the woman had gone to the Humane Society, but her kitty wasn't there. Then Tuesday morning, he just thought to look in the paper and saw my ad. And I had just placed the ad Monday to start back in the paper on Tuesday!  He said he passed over another ad and just knew to call my number. Tuesday afternoon, they came over to see Riley.

Well Riley, bless his heart didn't want to leave me, and wanted to stay on my shoulders. Yet this kind lady knew Riley was her kitty. She couldn't wait to borrow a carrier. She held him close and walked out the door to the car!! I had several things to give her, like food, litter, a litter box, and new kitty kit from Revolution. Her Samaritan friend helped carry everything to the car.

A few hours after Riley went to his fur-ever home, I received a phone call and the Samaritan friend who gave Riley's mommy a ride to pick up her new sweetie told me: "as soon as Riley's Mommy got into her apartment, she looked up and said thank you to Jesus.

He said that Riley was sleeping in a kitty condo climbing toy right now, and that Riley's mom said that "when Riley knows that I love him, he will sleep with me on my bed."

Riley also has a new 8 year old kitty housemate.

Purrz of Thanks fur Riley's Furever home!

And thanks and more thanks to all the furry blogging friends who keep sending us snail mail Christmas cards!  How did you all find my address???  Will send ever furry one an email card by Christmas Eve...  

Purrz and Purrayerz for the rest of my kittens and katz who need furever homes.

Christy (aka Christmas Tree on back)

Happy (Kitty Smiley face on back)

I did get a phone call from someone in Oklahoma who could give Riley's sisters, Bobby and Tailor,  a home. Yet he and his wife live 257 miles away and the trip down could take up to 4 hours....

Urgent Mewz Kittens Still In Need Of Homes

Thanks to all the folks who have sent the Katie Katz a Christmas greeting by snail mail. Will hopefully get cards out to you this weekend. Otherwise will be sending an email! My essential tremour is making it hard to sign cards this year.

Good Mewz, my hubby was able to send greenies fur Hannukah/Christmas and I sold my Futura Tower Glass Art Table! Maybe will be able to help my mother with her mortgage this month. I helped her last month. Almost caught up. (fyi: British Hubby is stuck in England while I'm stuck in America...)

Well thought I had homes for all my kittens then two of the homes found other kitties to love instead. And one promised home is starting to feel out of place for Bobby and Tailor.

Good Mews is that Candy has found a possible furever home.

Candy and New Mommy

Lil Manx Bobby is sweet and curious.

So here are the kids who still need homes:

Tailor only likes her brother and sister

Riley is a big sweet boy

Christy (aka Christmas Tree)

Happy (happy face on her back)

Will be starting new ads for them tomorrow. Should have left them in the paper over the weekend, but thought they all had homes. Please purr for these kids. They have nowhere to go as they get bigger. They have to be rehomed now.

-Katie Kat.

Thankful Mewz Update: Mittens was Adopted!!

Taken from his new Mommy and Daddy's cell phone. His new Mommy works at Banfield Clinic inside PetsMart!  He will have a human brother to grow up with who is 2 years old.

May have homes for all the sweet kitties by Saturday. Will post again this weekend.

Well gotta go get Mittens sisters ready for their wellness kitty vet visit. My vet hands out free kitty Revolution kits. The visit will leave me with very little money (about 100.00) until Dec 24th. Hubby sending a bit of money to help, but hasn't shown up yet.

Will visit all our furry friends furry soon. And thanks for Christmas cards and postcards. Will send out a Christmas email.

Love and Purrz,
Katie Kat.

Please Purr for the Kittens

The pawsible home mentioned in a previous post didn't turn out... yet I am praying for the special family who contacted me.

Will be having some folks meeting Molly's kittens this weekend... please purr that these cuties go to wonderful furever homes...

Good Mewz - Bo O'Riley has a new home!  He will be going to keep a very special young lady company while her husband is deployed in the military...

Also I am selling photo prints... some are of the kitties.  25 Percent off until December 1st. I hope to post more photo prints during the sale.

If you might be interested, please see http://www.bonanza.com/booths/ThePurpleKattery

Oh and please keeps my brother (from another mother...lol), the kittiez Uncle Mike in your purrz... Several months ago, Mike lost his assembly job that he had for 14 years.  Now he's about to start a new job, overnight stocking and unloading.  Not the assembly job he hoped for and at a much lower pay than before.... Kansas lost their unemployment extension funds and his unemployment was about to run out.

Going to be a very tough Christmas for us kitties, trying to pay mortgages, utilities and keep the Katz gang in food, litter and flea meds. In fact, Lil Bear has been sneezing off and on with a kitty cold, too. 

BiBi needs purrs for her kidneys.

Nana's BiBi is still in need of much purrs as well... please see previous post.

Lil Bear has been sneezing

Please pray that Mike will be able to find a better job very soon and / or go back to school.  (There may be state funds available for retraining.)


More Mewz furry soon!!
See you fur Thanksgiving, if not sooner.

Purrz from Katie and the Katz.

Furry Mewz 4 Purrz

HOORAY FOR USA!!!  OUR MOM VOTED ON TUESDAY.  WE HOPE YOUR HUMAN STAFF, MOMS AND DADS VOTED, TOO.

The cats and I haven't been blogging cause got some sad newz... and we don't like sad newz... so we're going to call it Mewz 4 Purrz

First some good Mewz 4 Purrz.

Yesterday I placed an ad in the local newspaper for Molly's kittens... and this morning, a furry kind lady who is disabled called, looking for a grey kitten for her grand daughter who has special needs.  Her grand daughter is a miracle girl who wasn't supposed to live. Yet now she is three years old!!

Mittens would be the purr-fect kitten for a special young girl.  I felt that God had a very special mission for Mittens...

The kind lady will talk to her daughter about coming to see Mittens.  We are purring that this is Mittens special mission, to love a special needs girl and her grandmother. The grandmother said that once they find a cat or dog to love, they keep them fur-ever!  We would be able to visit Mittens and see how he is doing and keep you posted on his furever home, too! 

Please purr for Mittens and this very special family that they are the purr-fect match for each other.

J.J.'s Kittens Update

On October 19th, Uncle Mike and I were able to set up the kennel cage and capture J.J.'s two black kittens... which are both girls and we discovered that the tabby that I caught on the 17th is actually a boy.  Since the little boy looks like My mom's (Nana's) kitty BiBi, we're calling him Bo...

Mike and I took them to the vets for their check up on the 27th and discovered that the little boy had broken one of his baby fangs. The broken tooth was painful. (Day before the vet visit, the sweet boy had turned skittish.)  The vet put him on antibiotics and pain meds. He finished his antibiotics this past week and his tooth is doing really well. He's back to his playful, sweet self! Bo is going to be a big stocky boy when he grows up.


 











Lil Bo's cute black sisters are Bobbi (Tail-less) and Tailor ( has a tail). The vet gave Bo, Bobbi and Tailor worm meds and free Revolution kitten kits!!!  They are quickly adjusting to indoor life and slowly getting to know the other cats at Uncle Mike's house.  Their Mom, J.J. is staying around outside and eating on the covered breezeway between the house and the garage... We were able to borrow a large dog house and are setting it up for the cold weather coming Monday night.  Hopefully J.J. will seek refuge in the dog house or the open attic above the garage, instead of the abandoned house far away from her food source.  Will post more photos of J.J. and her kittens, as well as the little video from the vet visit.

Now for the really purrsome Mewz...

BiBi at Christmas Time

Nana's cat BiBi needs lots of purrz. Several months ago, Nana noticed that Bibi had been overly drinking water and going to the bathroom lots and lots...  BiBi had a senior checkup two weeks ago.  

She is 13 years old and her kidneys are failing.  She may live a long time yet. She needs to eat canned food, but only wants to eat Kitten Chow... BiBi is very picky. Sometimes she will drink tuna broth.  Does anyone know a good broth to try or a canned food that your picky eater likes? 


Please keep BiBi in your purrz.
We will keep you posted on how she is doing... and get a more current photo.



Purrz and Paddy Pawz,
Katie Kat and The Katz Gang.

Molly Tells About Nana Update and JJ's Kittens

To: Blogging Cats (and their Humans)...
From: Molly
Thank you for all your purrs and prayers for the Mom's Mom.  After going Via Christi Immediate Care (vs  Emergency Room )  Our Nana is getting better... She has a very bad and painful UTI. Please have your human tell you what that is.  Cats can get them too and they can be very painful and you have to take yucky medicine, sometimes pills that are so big and hard to swallow!  Nana still needs a new MRI to check her head to make sure no more bad tumours are growing.  The good doctor at Immediate Care Suggested some very good doctors for Nana and the Mom to visit.  Hopefully Nana will have her MRI soon. 

Thank you so much for sending your purrs and funds to help me and my kittens... The Mom says they might be ready for their forever homes in a few weeks... and then I can get spayed. I love my kittens, but would really like a break and not have to worry with more children in the future...

Now the Mom tells me about another mother cat named J.J. and her kittens that are at Uncle Mike's house and they are living outside.   One of the black kittens has no tail!  J.J. looks like her brother Joey.  Joey and J.J.'s mom is a black cat named Yubie (aka Hubie).  J.J. is from Yubie's second litter.  The Mom has not seen Yubie in a long time, but we are all very glad that J.J. came to Uncle' Mike's house to be fed and cared about.  J.J. is shy of humans, but wants her kittens to have a good life.  

 
So far, the Mom was able to bring in the tabby kitten and found out that kitten is a boy... so now Tabby Kitten is in the bathroom. He was very scared at first, but now lets the Mom handle him a lot... but he misses his littermates and J.J. very much and cries alot when left alone in the bathroom...
Please purr that the Mom can capture the other two kittens so they can have a good life and help Tabby Kitten not be so lonely.

The Mom is going to put J.J. and the other kitten's food inside a kennel cage and when they all go in, she can close the door... but J.J. may get too fraidy.   If only J.J. knew that the Mom is good people so she could learn about the wonderful world of indoor living...

The Mom hopes that J. J. will stay close after the kittens are brought into the house, so that she can get spayed... 

Back to remodeling the blog... The Mom needs to get all my kittens posted in a blog page so that when good people answer the ad for my kittens, they can see what my sweethearts look like...  and of course the Mom and I will interview everyone and ask lots of questions so we can find the right home for my girls and my little boy.

Will keep you posted about my kittens and J.J.'s kittens while we work on the blog stuff.

Love and Purrz,
Molly.
