Hey Kitties - We're Back!

Mommy has some mad photography skillz said no one ever...

 

 

Hi everykitty! Ricky Tiki Tavi here. So, what do you think of Zoolatry's redesign of our bloggy? We think it's pretty spiffy! Maybe we can convince Mommy to post a little more often now that we look so darn good!

When last we left you, Daddy was getting ready to have surgery on his leg and foot. Fun times kitties, fun times...His accident was in mid-October and it's just been the last few days that he is able to walk without a cane and wear a shoe. Daddy tends to be a little on the hyper-active side, so all of that sitting around just about drove him over the edge. All of us kitties (and Diamond Doggie) were the very best nurses he could have. We kitties acted like blankets and kept him warm and anchored. Diamond stayed at his side and made sure he kept his foot off of the ground. We were invaluable I tell you...just invaluable. So what do we get as a reward for all of our 24 hour nurses duty? We get abandoned by the 'rents. That's right kitties. The 'rents have the nerve to go on vacation at the end of this month. Before you start to send us tea and sympathy, know that we are being left in awesome hands. Our pet sitter - Auntie Megan, is going to stay at the house. Diamond even gets to go an a spa day with her. Since she works at our little shelter she is going to take Diamond for a day of nail trimming, baths and grooming. HAHAHAHAHA! I'm so happy that I am a cat.

Speaking of me, I think you all know that I am deaf. Does it bother me? NO! Do I use it to my advantage? Yup. Do I know hand signals for treats? Yup. Do I use it to garner sympathy when I do stuff I shouldn't? You betcha'! Life is good kitties, life is good. Rudy Toots and I are best bros. Powder is a lot of fun to chase and terrorize, Diamond is fun to mess with, But Puff - no one messes with the Puffster. I learned the hard way that she is NOT to trifle with. She keeps me in my place and I give her the respect that she demands and deserves. She and Powder turned 15 on April the 1st. You'd never know that they were geriatric kitties, Mommy says thank Cod that they are happy, healthy and very playful.

Mommy is now the board president at our little shelter. She spends a lot of time trying to help them help all of the animals that they care for. I think that's great. All of the animals there deserve the very best care and they deserve forever homes. It's still Mommy's passion.

Out of all of this they still miss their Parker Pie. I know that without her, I would not be where I am today. Because of her, we have a blog and a set of 'rents who do all that they can to help animals in need - like me. Thanks Parker, I owe you a lot.

Peace out kitties. Love is all we need.

Recovery Process

A lot of my recovery process has been spent right here, on Daddy's lap. There's really no better medicine in the world as far as I am concerned.

The Rudy Report

Hello there kitties! It's me! RUDY! with your Rudy Report! I am very happy to say that I am feeling 95% better and I have gained back some of the weight that that nasty bladder infection took from me. I like to spend my time recuperating on Daddy's lap. I'm eating and I am using the box and I am drinking lotsa' water from the bathroom tap (it tastes better there). The new food is OK and I really like getting the new food stinky goodness once a day. The sibs are liking the food and all is well in the dinnertime department. So, all in all, good news. I heard a rumor that I have to go back to see Dr. Joe on Thursday for a urine check-up, but I will choose to ignore that possibility 'till I see the PTU in the kitchen...
I want to say thank-you to every bean and every kitty and every woofie who prayed for me. I know that I was lucky and I know that even thought I had to stay at Dr. Joe's and get poked and prodded, the 'rents did the right thing by me. I just hope I never have to go through that again.
Mommy: me too Rudy, me too...

The Rudy Report

I crack me up!

Hi everykitty, it's me, Rudy with the Rudy Report! I have to tell you - when Mommy goes away for the day to spend some time with her girlfriends and Daddy decides to take a nap in the afternoon, it's A LOT of fun to leap in his unprotected lap! I even learned some new words that I cannot repeat here.
That's what he gets for having me neutered. Revenge is a dish best served cold...

To Our Daddy...

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy in the world!

As you can see, my Daddy has a great sense of humor.

So we got him a card that would make him laugh!

Later we're gonna' make a big nap pile on him and give him some of our Temptations, he'll love that! Maybe we'll even share our Stinky Goodness with him!!!

Guess what...

...we were doing at the stroke of Midnight...

Welcome 2009!

Easy Like Sunday

If you look behind me to the left you will notice I am not the only one who takes it easy on Sunday. They should call them Dadnaps instead of Catnaps...

Mancat Monday

I just want to say that prayers work! We are very happy that Mu Shue, Lilly and Iris were found and that they are back with Mom Laura!

Meanwhile...back in O Hi O...

Rudy needs to get it through his floofy little head that Daddy belongs to ME!

I find this intolerable. Do you have an empty lap that needs a kitty?

Mancat Monday - Rudy and Daddy!

"ZZZzzzzz"

When it's raining outside and it's chilly and and there's nothing good to watch on T.V., Rudy suggests a nap on the best thing around - Daddy! I am only allowing this because I feel sorry for him - he's V.E.T. bound for his Poodle Butt cut this week. Never let it be said that I'm not generous about sharing Daddy!
In other very happy news, The Fuzz Factor awarded me and Mommy this beautiful Golden Paw award! Isn't it beautiful? It's made by Ruiz - it's his paw! Me and Mommy think it's pretty spiffy and we will treasure it!
