Diabetes Month - We Have A Favor To Ask

I may be feeling poorly, but I still have the energy to hiss and swat at the awful disease of Diabetes. I'd like to ask all of my kitty pals to post this on their sidebar for the month of November to increase Diabetes awareness. Diabetes is a rotten, expensive, time consuming and stupid disease that needs to be wiped off the face of the earth and sent down to basement cat.

I'd like to send special smoochies to Zoolatry who designed this great sidebar.

So please kitties, if you can, help me raise awareness.

Smoochies to all of you - I love you all!

The Very Last Thing You See...

...before Puff gives Rudy the smackdown. Notice Puff's raised paw and her tongue sticking out in concentration. Rudy is looking a little too smug for her taste. He may be bigger, but she. is. the. queen.
None of us should ever forget that...

Sharing...Not!

We each have our own arm. Sharing is not our thing.

The Rudy Report

No...You're In MY Space!

Mingalarba kitties, it's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! this was a great weekend, we got the first sniffs of Spring in the air! I had to share those sniffs with Parker, but I guess that there was enough for the both of us. We have never been the type to share anything and the Spring air was no exception. So, all in all it was a win.

What was a bigger win was the chicken and pig that was grilled outside. Little tastes for all and it was very very nommy. Kitties, I think that Spring is not far around the corner for all of us in O Hi O. What a wonderful thought!

Keep those tails high kitties!

Diamond Blends

Hi! Diamond here, I'm stealing the blog to say thanks to the 'rents who are so nice to buy furniture that matches my furs. Quite the fashion statement I'd say.
I have to get off the blog now, Parker's givin' me the hairy eyeball...

The Rudy Report

::Whispers:: Psssssst, kitties, over here!

It's me, bad kitty, er, ah, I mean Rudy, with the Rudy Report!

I got in trouble this weekend. I was feeling very frisky and chased my sisters. A lot. I may have even ambushed and attacked them. I might have even pounced a little. Even Diamond was getting tired of breaking up all of the little kitty spats that I started.

I blame Spring. I think I have Spring fever and a lot of energy that needs to be burned off OUT ON THE DECK where we are not allowed because there is still snow and ice on it. Stoopid snow. Stoopid ice...

My Vet Visit v.2

Have you ever been napping and the next thing you know is your Mommy has picked you up and while she's whispering sweet kitty-nothings in your ear she stuffs you in the PTU? I HATE it when that happens!

I had to go back to see Dr. Joe and find out if my pee problems had gone away. For the record, I am NOT smiling here. I am telling Mommy one of the many reasons I do not feel like coming out of the PTU...

Dr. Joe took some more of my pee and tested it. I still had a teensy-tiny bit if infection and had to get another long-acting shot of antibiotics. But the good news is that I don't have to go back and Dr. Joe said that I was otherwise healthy! After Dr. Joe had tested me, I warmed up to him again. He really is a nice guy, but if I don't have to go and visit him again for a long, long time - well, I'm OK with that!
Thanks for all of the prayers and purrs, I know they helped me get through this!

Puff Wants...

...her fireplace back! Now please! kthxbye!

Traffic Congestion

...I thought trolls were supposed to live under bridges, not at the top of the stairs! I don't know what the password is, but I'm going to try this one - MOVE!

The Rudy Report

Greetings and salutations kitties! It's me, Rudy the Rudester with the Rudy Report. If you are like me and live in God's deep freezer, I hope you are staying warm. If you are the lucky kitties in the land down under and such, I hope you are staying cool. And if you are in Hollywood, call me, I need a good agent!

Mom decided that she should make pasta on Saturday. You can see by my expression how underwhelmed I was! I was less impressed with the tomato sauce...

Pasta = Blech!

Fast forward to Sunday.What do I hear? Sizzle? What do I smell? Pig?!? SCORE! BACON!!!
That made up for pasta and tomato sauce and coconut cake - bacon is sooooo good! We all got teensy-tiny tastes, but man-o-man was it ever nommy! I can't begin to describe Parker's behavior other than to say we called her something that rhymes with blog...

Tattle Tail Tuesday

Between the wrapping (and whapping) of gifts, the mailing of cards, the decorating of the trees, the baking of goodies and a general case of the holiday busys, I am putting my paw down and insisting that the 'rents pay a little more attention to me. And if that requires me to get up on the table and give them the hairy eyeball, well that's what I have to do! I am multitasking here because I am also practicing my "meatloaf-cat pose".

Pretty impressive, eh?

The Orange Menace...

...has stolen MY spot!

Easy Like Sunday - I Hope!

Hi everyone. I have had a rough few days. First I had to go to the V.E.T. for my check up and they shot me - twice! It was time for my Rabies shot and my FELV/FRCP-C shot. I was shot in each of my back hips and they made me sore and sleepy. You can see below I was sucking up the sympathy big-time yesterday. I was even given a whole can of stinky goodness! I weigh 11 pounds 1 ounce and I am very healthy. I have good toofies and gums, so I don't need a dental!

Mommy and Daddy tricked us into our P.T.U.'s (That stands for Prisoner Transport Units Island Cats!) by letting us out on the deck then bringing us in one by one and stuffing us in! Diamond was watching over us while Daddy brought the car around. We were not very happy.

Here we are at the V.E.T.'s I am giving the hairy eyeball to a Chihuahua named Mickey who thought he was tough. The lady in the picture was waiting to pick up her new kitten who had just been spayed.
A close up of me and my hairy eyeball look.
Powder was very brave and didn't cry very much. She tried to be Zen like me. She weighs 6 pounds and is also very healthy. She doesn't need a dental cause her toofies are good too! Puff weighs 11 pounds (I have a whole ounce on her!) and her toofies are great! The V.E.T. said that we must have very good genes.
And then they examined Rudy. His toofies are NOT OK. He has gingivitis and has to have a dental in a few weeks. He's the biggest of all of us, he weighs a very Mancatly 13.8 pounds. The V.E.T. said that we all weigh just about what we should. No diets are necessary!
The poop that they stole from us was negative for bad things. We were happy about that. The V.E.T. said that we were the most well-behaved kitties he had ever met. None of us hissed or tried to run away from him while we were being examined. Well, maybe Rudy hissed just a little, but that was when the V.E.T. was poking at his butt! Mommy likes this V.E.T. His name is Dr. Joe. He and his wife, Dr. Wendy seem to know their stuff when it comes to kitties.

Diamond tried to give me a kiss when we got home and were released. I tried to give him "The Paw of Death."
Then I took a bath and a nap. The nap lasted most of Saturday which was probably good because blogger wouldn't let me on my blog. What was up with that? It wouldn't let me on a lot of blogs as a matter of fact. I think blogger must have had to go the the V.E.T. and have shots too!

Look at this! That lovely little Tabby, Abby thinks I am a cool cat! Thanks Abby, I think you are a pretty cool kitten your own self!
I hope every kitty has a very easy Sunday. I plan to have a few naps and some snuggle time with Daddy. I deserve it!
