Graffiti Caturday

Out and about

Ms. Stellie enjoys the shady spots

Ms Jack enjoys the nibblin

That Scrappie Cat just sits right on the arm rest and waits... 

 

yup... she's watchin! 

These two keepin their eyes peeled!

covering front & back!  Great team work! 

My son

A thing unheard of...

Ms Stella says:

I love That Woman being on staycation.  

She follows us around from room to room (oh no wait.. that's us). 

Anyway; I find if I do this 

She can't resist  and head scritches commence.

Life is good. 

Now I must away to recount my horde of stinky goodness - I'm fairly certain that the columns were reduced this morning!

Xoxo

Ms Stella O Houligan

Hummm....

I see That Woman took your advice fellow kitties!  Nice to know y'all got my back! 

Let me inspect and count how many are here....

There are four columns here and they don't appear to be the same height.    She'll definitely have a task (and another errand) to add to her journal list for tomorrow! 

A sweet memory:

Dr. Horn our vet, always called Miss Jenga his Honeybear.

My Sweet Girl... 

This and that...

I love the way Scrappie looks.  

They all hide up on the couch (& King Ollie in his lair) lately as I've been cleaning so much. 

Ms. Stella approves of the table moved out from The Gurls old room. 

Ms. Stella at my feet on her woobie.  

**Note to Spitty Cat--- That knitted scarf became Ms. Stella's woobie. She seeks it out to make muffins and bliss out before nodding off all cozied up. 

The gals at my office sent me off with these lovely flowers from Trader Joes; Peonies, Glads & I think the filler is freezia.  Peonies are my favorite.  

I'm keeping a mini journal of what I do each day on my two week vacation.  There's nothing worse than getting to the end and wondering what in the heck you did and where did the time go.  

I filled a whole page today with things!  

Sometimes ya just gotta!

Miss Jack with whine & cry incessantly until you pet her...  Should you try to remove your hand too soon, this is what happens.

I apologize for the shaky video but you get the idea.  Silly kitty!

The TriFecta of Feline Affection

That Woman had a cyst removed from her noggin today, she gotz 20 stitches!  Here we are, attending to her every need.  It's been a couple of really hard weeks for her.  Just as soon as she breaks open the stinky goodness we will be right back here (and we will finish the LOTR Two Towers).  Our mom is too weird, she likes Gollum best.  

To All Our Furriends!

 

The outpurring of spirit from the CB has completely overwhelmed us.

 

We'd like to share this badge that Ann (From Zooaltry) made for Miss Jenga

 

It's so beautiful, Thank you so much Ann!

 

 

Such a beautiful tribute Ann, Thank you so much

 

 We will be writing back to alla you soon, right now we are just piling up on That Woman who needs us now a lot that The Gurl is moved out & Miss Jenga has gone to The Bridge.  Dearest Ollie spent the night in her bed and didn't get too sopping wet, Miss Scraps hasn't left her side since she got home yesterday!  Today she's back at work but will be off for the next two weeks and we will crack the whip and make sure she helps us post and visit!

 

xoxo

Ms. Stella O'Houligan

 



RIP Miss Jenga

You will always be in my heart. Godspeed beautiful girl..

Missy Jenga

Buenos Dias Mi Gatos!

Here's our girl.  She is growing ever smaller, she's now half the size she was in November. That's 7 lbs less in 6 months.   A couple nights ago she lost control of her bowels (mostly liquid) on the bed poor baby.  We were out at the movies and upon returning home found her all curled up on my pillow as far from the mess as she could get but still be on the bed.  A few minutes later the bed was stripped, she was cleaned up and when I went to put the new top sheet on she was all up for playing under it silly girl.  

She has trouble with her food and lately I haven't seen her water intake do very well either.  But for right now she's alert, nibbles during the night, she's sometimes playful & always ready to purr and be brushed. 

That's good enough for me. 

Getting some sun

Thank you to everyone for your generosity of caring and concern.   I appreciate it so very much.  It's hard these days what with Miss Ellen getting ready to leave the nest (later this week) and watching Miss Jenga's declining health.  At times it feels as if the whole world is being ripped out from under me but I remember to take deep breaths and remind myself that letting go is ok too. I just wish it didn't hurt like a bitch.

That  Woman

Mom's Day

The Gurl got this T-shirt for That Woman

Awesomeness

Look closely at the nimbus.

Thoughtful Thursday

My inside woobie, Mr Chair and your arguement is irrelephant.

Bits and Pieces

Sorry we've been absent for a bit. 

Here's some photos to catch you up with.

First some Cat Tails

And

belleh spots

And the goon who thinks he has camoflague

I love how that one branch looks like his tail!

Best cat tree ever, I especially love watching him come down backwards.

I bet in his mind he's Tom Cruise

 

Ms. Jenga got a new shirt (one that fits better) and comes out infrequently with me to get some fresh airs & check her peemail

my little lima bean

She wanted to stay out the other day & sun in her chair on the patio that's right up against the slider.  

somewhat later we looked up from the movie to see this

Miss Jenga: "guys... guys... what's up? guys?" 

She waits there till I go out and carry her back in the house to her room.

spoiled much?

you betcha!  Every day is treasured

Here she is inspecting my newest quilt top.

out of courtesy we cut the tag off that said 'pup club'. 

The clothing for cats they had were three items & they were all horrific.

I just wanted a comfy, soft tshirt for her.  Her owies are all gone but as long as there is bare skin

I don't trust her to leave it alone. 

She doesn't eat a lot but still drinking water and using her box.

day by day

And as for Ms. Stella

Well, there is a bit of a mystery going on.

She wandered out on the patio the other day looking for her woobie and

*gasp*

it's gone

She turned right around and came in to give me a piece of her mind,

I had no idea it was missing!

Apparently the gardners thought they would do us a good turn & when they cleaned up all the tree branches we trimmed they cleaned up the patio as well.

O

Dear

Ms Stella:  "I can't even look at you!"

so that's it for now.

We do visit everyone but with all this activity around the house & new

daily care giving tasks for Missy J, we don't let That Woman have much

leisure time.  And if she is permitted to sit

well, you get the idea...

 

Miss Jenga

 

Miss Jengs is still doing reasonably well, she isn't crazy about her shirt but I only make her wear it when she goes outside with me so it will protect her baldy skin from outside irritants.  (As well as her own hind claws scratchin the heck out of it till she yowls at her own self). 

The bald patch seems to be growing so I may have to take her in regardless.  The vet said they could give her another 'allergy' shot which is also a steroid so that's no bueno. 

Thank you all for keeping her in your thoughts.  She's such a lovely sweet girl, I truly hate that she has to endure her situation.

That Woman

Nappin Kittehs

 

Miss Jack prefers to create a divit on the couch back cushion

*Miss Jack: "HEY, if you wouldn't put the couch right in my sun bar you wouldn't have this issue human!"

 

Ms. Stella of course prefers to make everyone think she is homeless by laying on this ratty old (like 10 years old) sisal rug.

*Ms. Stella: "Silly Human, it's just got all the right balance of smells, furrs & dirt which create a heady aroma similar to primo nip.--witht he added benefit of being able to bunneh kick the bejeesus outta it!"

 

Ollie still prefers to nap in the hammics. 

*Ollie:  "ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

 

Miss Scraps prefers to be in and out of the sun so she remains inside on the carpet.

*Miss Scrapps: "It's more comfortable here and I can keep an eye out for that Holy Striped Terror Ms. Stella at all times!"

Caturday update Cinema scope style!

We have since heard from the vet and he concurred that the steroid Miss Jenga got wasn't supposed to do that.  She did have a reaction to it so no more of those.  Meantime, since I hate having her in the cone of shame, I got her this...

She doesn't seem to mind it too much and at least it will keep her sharp claws from scratching that 'oh so sensitive' skin that's showing.  

**note to dog fashion designers; really?  All the items for girls were ridiculous sun dress numbers that  had so much bling they were completely tasteless.  

This was the only thing that could be called 'understated' and it was for boy dogs but at least it didn't have the word 'dog' embroidered on it. 

Evening Visitor

Spitty, we are happy to share our nip nanners but really you don't have to BOLT out the door just because we happen to glance up at the sound of your sandpaper tounge licking the yellow right offa them!

*Jenga update: bad night but much better day.  She's maintaining her weight, staying hydrated and managed to gently play at batting my hand under the covers.  We saw the vet today as I feared it was time, but it's not. Day by gentle day.  ♥♥♥

Wordless Wednesday (ya right!)

This small bright spot made That Woman giggle and think of the TTTabbies. :)  

Ms. Jenga continues to nosh a bit, litter box habits are good,  she enjoys perching on her cat tree and in the afternoons comes outside with me so she can warm up on the concrete.  Another good day.
