My Three Kitties

Big Baby

2008-05-12T18:50:00.000-07:00

We discovered that Fluffy no. 2 loves to be held and rocked like a small baby!! He absolutely begs for it its so funny!!!

Smokey is making herself more comfortable here lately!

Fluffy no. 2 is always trying to get you to pat him when ever you come near:

Its Official: Fluffy II Loves Me

Fluffy 1, Fluffy 2. Fluffy 1, Fluffy 2.

2008-02-08T10:44:00.001-08:00

Fluffy 2 has really come out of his shell. He now is purring, head bonking, and coming to me as soon as he hears me come in. He hasn't slept on the bed yet but he isn't nearly as shy and even goes to Kris now. The only thing he is skittish around is children. Or is that are children. bah. He is a big sweetie and I hope that he will only keep relaxing.

Pictureless Update

2008-02-07T11:40:00.000-08:00

Fluffy II is doing SO good! He came out as soon as I came home yesterday, he's been purring finally, and he has been head-butting me which his owner said means he really likes me :) !!!! He is soooooooooooooo cute and sweet and I just love him. I hope I don't have to give him back but if I do well that's just the way life goes. He flops down on the floor with a thud when he lies down and was laying on his back last night with his feet in the air like a little dog!

Fluffy I is going to the vet tomorrow to get his exam/shots. $$$$$ and that sucks. Luckily Kris is willing to help out. I hope to have some better pictures of Fluffy II now that he is coming out in the daytime now! Stay tuned...

Fluffy II is out!

2008-02-02T08:32:00.001-08:00

Fluffy II finally has come out of the couch on a regular basis and has been lounging, allowing butt-sniffing, and letting me pick him up and pet him without a lot of hissing and growling! I think he's going to be just fine...

On Thursday we took a trip to the Humane Society and looked at the cats there. Kris fell for a pretty little girl kitty named Princess and we are thinking of adopting her...she's tiny and very sweet and friendly, and I don't think that she would be a lot of trouble. She is black and white with medium length hair. She was pregnant when she arrived at the shelter in August but she is fixed now (had the babies) and is ready for a home. We may not be able to get her on account of my other cats needing shots first (I'm not made of money as you all know) but I filled out the paperwork just in case we can and hopefully next week we can visit her again. I know it seems like a lot of cats to have and a lot of work, but Fluffy I is pretty low maintenance, Sunny is no longer an obnoxious kitten, and Fluffy II is older and has been taken care of very good. It also helps to have a husband that likes cats as much as I do and is willing to do more than his share of the upkeep.

My friend's Mother In Law developed terrible allergies to her 2 cats and I volunteered to take them for a while...

The Devil I mean Molly Cat

Fluffy II

Molly is already back at home because her owner missed her but Fluffy II is still with us...he's a little grumpy still but I think with a little time and a lot of food he will be just fine :)

Its been a long time...

2008-01-30T18:26:00.001-08:00

Whew its been since July but I've finally gotten around to a couple of new posts! We had to give Oscar away because he was too dominant and the other cats weren't getting much food, plus he was peeing and/or pooping under the washer and dryer and was overall not working out :(
We were very sad to see him go but both Fluffy and Sunny have plumped up and Fluffy has grown tremendously as far as playfulness and being comfortable here. He and Sunny get along a lot better now and while they still fight here and there, its usually Fluffy bopping Sunny on the head instead of Sunny tackling Fluffy!

Meow.

So I bought myself this velour duvet cover for my bed...what the hell was I thinking?? It looked gorgeous until the cats spread their orange and white hair all over it!!! Now it is all grungy looking. Hrmph. I have to get myself a lint brush now!!

Sunny (Non-Stubby)

Stubby McStubberton...notice he is tucking the gross looking end underneath him!

At least one of them is laying on something other than my duvet!!!!

On Thursday afternoon my daughter decided to give Oscar a hair cut. She found that out the hard way, as did Oscar, that cats aren't stuffed animals that can't be hurt. She got a hold of my scissors and cut 3 inches of his skin and fur off leaving the bone! The cat came racing down the stairs with his bone and blood hanging out and she was standing at the top holding the severed piece of tail saying "Mommy I cut kitten hair" like something out of a Child's Play movie!!! The poor cat had to have the bone and a couple of extra inches amputated so now his tail is only about 8 inches long. He is no longer identical to his brother. He is doing great though (300$ later) and is in good spirits and actually friendlier than ever for some reason. He is also getting noticably fatter than his brother...he weighs 12 lbs!! At 10 months old that' s alot...

The end of his tail looks weird because they had to shave it to operate. The vet said that his fur will grow completely back and it will look like a normal tail...just shorter!!!! Poor guy :(

Remembering...

2006-12-03T08:26:00.000-08:00

Romeo was the best cat ever...until I got pregnant. Then he started to pee on my bed, my couch, my clothes, etc. He was so cool though before that because I would just pat my chest and he would jump into my arms. He wanted nothing else but to be with me. He used to wrap himself around the back of my neck and sleep there when I would sit down to watch TV or read. I miss him every day and hope he is still alive and making someone else happy. He had to go to the Humane Society and I cried so hard when I dropped him off that I could barely drive home.

Romeo, Moonshine, and Daisy

Romeo was very photogenic and I have almost as many pics of him as I do my kids!

This was Misty. She died last year at the age of 17. We got her when I was probably about 10 years old (duh, 27-17=10 right?)

He always sat on my lap and put his paws on the table! He was very human acting a lot of the time. I really miss him and now I'm sad :-(

While the Laser pointer is a lot of fun, sometimes I worry that Sunny is going to keel over from over exertion!! I've never seen a cat pant so hard in my life!! Sounds like there is a dog in the room!!

Moonshine!! Or "Shoeshine" as Alicia calls her!

She always has her claws ready for action

Isn't she beautiful? Too bad she doesn't have a personality to match!

The Hottest Day

2006-08-02T06:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was 90-something degrees with a heat index of over 102 and a wicked humidity level. I have no air conditioning and only one ceiling fan! The poor kitties were cuddling up to the tile all afternoon!

Sunny sprawling

"Too....hot...can't...walk....wheeze"
Doesn't seem to faze Fluffers too much

Despite the heat they still find time for brotherly love

Sunny is on top...you can see his wonky eye real good here! Aren't they growing up fast??? Sniff...

Mews!

2006-07-25T20:42:00.000-07:00

This is Oscar. I can tell because he doesn't have wonky eye

This is Sunny. I can tell because his tail has no vertical stripe

Not sure who this is...but he's a cutie! :)

Hmmmm...I think this is Fluffy!

Feeling Better

2006-07-17T19:04:00.000-07:00

Oscar is like this all the time now. He is so relaxed after his operation and they hardly fight at all now! If you try messing with them by rubbing their stomachs they no longer try to maul you!

I like this picture. I am not sure how it happened but he must have moved his head just right when I clicked...

Hot Kitties

2006-07-17T19:02:00.000-07:00

It has been a hot humid weekend and the poor cats have been suffering. I have no air conditioning in most of the house (my bedroom included) which is fine with me but I don't have a fur coat...

Poor Fluffy

Sunny's favorite chair

Oscar prefers the ceramic tile in front of the door! Every time I come inside that way there is some resistance when I open the door!

Androgenous Zone

2006-07-17T18:57:00.000-07:00

On Friday we took the cats to the Green Mountain Animal Defenders in Colchester to get them neutered! They are awesome there and do a great job for only $35 each. That includes shots and neutering. I brought them both at 8:45am and picked them up at 12:30pm. Oscar was livelier than Sunny and tried to get out of his box right off and almost really hurt himself! I let him out after a couple of hours and he tried to walk; the front feet were workin' but the back feet weren't listenin'! It was also 92 degrees that day which is an awful thing if you are trying to recover from "getting your berries chopped off" as Alex put it. They are doing great now though and are definitely much calmer and relaxed. No more peeing on my floor!!!

Ooohhhh my aching berries....

Alex consoles Oscar

Note the lifted tail...

"Do you still have your berries?"

A Big Fat Mess

2006-07-10T06:17:00.000-07:00

Oh was I mad. Oscar or Sunny (who knows which one) got up in the only windowsill that is completely covered in plants and proceeded to knock down my pineapple and my burro's tail!! Burro's tail is so fragile that all the little tear drops fall off when they are touched!! Luckily enough remained on the plant so it doesn't look like total crap. Damn cats!!!!! What a mess though! All over my washer and dryer and behind them and on top of their litter box which is just behind the wall there. Ugh.

The Pineapple doesn't look quite as perky as it used to. They have knocked it down a few times but it usually lands in the laundry basket I usually have there...usually.

The burro's tail landed on top of the pineapple so only a few stalks got stripped. I think I can just make more of them from the teardrops. Oh well they needed repotting anyway...

Two Headed Cat!!!!

Will these guys ever stop being cute??
Awwwwwwww!!! A little nibble...

Smug Fluff

His new favorite summer spot

He's smug coz we won't let the kittens up there! We give em a squirt while he is allowed there. Don't ask why. We don't have an answer!!

At first I thought it was demeaning...but then I realized he seemed to like it!!!

Maybe he is a cross-dressin' kitty!!

Huggin' brothers

Aren't they getting big?!?!

If you can't beat 'em...

2006-06-02T20:58:00.000-07:00

He's so awesome!!
Oscar's no slouch either; he's starting to finally warm up to us!

This is what these kittens do all damn day!!! And night!!

Sunny is the best!!

2006-05-24T19:13:00.000-07:00

Sunny so far is the more lovable one. Oscar is a cutie too and he can be affectionate but he hates being picked up and he hates being without his bro!

Curly Q Tail!!! So damn cute!!!

He looked up just as I was taking this pic

Awwww he's showing off his spotty tummy!!

Night Time is the Right Time...

2006-05-24T19:11:00.000-07:00

These guys are SO CUTE when they sleep!!! You rarely find them more than 10 inches apart from each other when they are sleeping. I am so glad we are able to keep them together. How could I bear to ever separate them???

Introducing Oscar...

2006-05-18T19:18:00.000-07:00

This is Sunny's twin brother Oscar! We named him that because it is one of Jamie's favorite names and he is a wee bit grouchier than his bro! He is still a nice cat but not as lovable. He has yet to purr at all and he hates being picked up. He also is very violent when you try to feed them wet food! He growls and tries to shred your hand!! I don't know if there was a lot of competition where he came from or what! Poor Fluffy doesn't know what to think now! Oscar also had ear mites but they seem to have cleared up pretty quickly. He was much easier to treat than his brother. Oh boy those vet bills will be piling up now!!

Snoozin' but not Losin'

2006-05-18T16:17:00.000-07:00

See they really DO love each other!

Brotherly Love that is...

Jamie loves them too!!

They did not wake up the entire time we were taking these pictures! This is what they looked like when we laid them back down:

And then there was light...

2006-05-16T09:29:00.000-07:00

Sunny!!!

Sunny is 8 weeks old now and he came to us from a friend of mine at work all the way from Richford, VT! He is a little sweetheart who purrs as soon as you come near and loves to sit on shoulders! He has a bad habit of trying to climb your leg, clothed or not, in order to be closer to your shoulder! He also beats the hell out of Fluffy! But he is just a little bitty who doesn't know better yet. Fluffy takes it well but you can tell he gets a little annoyed after a while! He had ear mites pretty bad when I first got him, but only in one ear. I am trying to get rid of them but its hard when they are so young to find stuff you can use. Olive oil on a q-tip seems pretty effective, and I got some drops from the vet that you have to give 2 times a day for 2 weeks! I'm having a hard time being consistent with them unfortunately.

In the beginning...

2006-05-16T08:58:00.000-07:00

There was only Fluffy!!

Fluffy is a seven year old white as can be male. He reminds me of a Turkish Angora but I'm sure he's not quite that well bred! I got him from the Humane Society when he was pet of the week. This meant he was there over a month and they were desperate to find him a home. He is the sweetest cat ever!! I can see why he was there though. As awesome as he is, he has a lot of little quirks that can be very annoying! He only drinks water out of the faucet and it has to be just the right temperature/stream and you have to hold your hand on the handle!! He refuses to drink from a dish. I read somewhere that some cats need a certain oxygen molecule that only running water provides. I wonder sometimes because he is pure white that maybe he has some genetic anomalies that make him so...special! He's great though most of the time. He likes to cuddle right up to you when you sleep and sometimes I wake up with my arms around him like a stuffed animal!
