November is National Diabetes Month!

Hi kitties - Ricky Tiki Tavi here and I want to ask you a huge favor. My Mommy told me that every November Parker would take a stand against the awful, rotten, crummy disease of Diabetes. So I thought it might be a good idea if I continued in her tradition. The wonderful Zoolatry lady made these sidebars for us. When Mommy saw what she had created, her eyes got very, very leaky. After she dried her tears, we decided to ask all of you to share this sidebar on your blog.
You see, Parker always wished for a cure for Diabetes as Mommy has the no good disease. I want the same thing. So if you would, help spread the word that a cure must be found.
Last week it was 5 months since Parker Pie left for the bridge. My family misses her very much, but the good news is that they are so happy that I have arrived. I help fill the hole that Parker left in their hearts.
Mommy is super, super busy helping the animals at our little shelter. She always tells me how very lucky I am, but I already know that. Rudy and the Calico gals are learning to love me - kinda. I want to play all of the time, and they don't always like my advances. Rudy is a great wrestling buddy. He kinda likes to throw down with me. The Calico gals, not so much. Puff throws a mean left swat and a pretty big hiss. She still holds the "Queen of Everything" title. Powder just gives me the stink eye and runs away. Diamond just sighs and stays out of my way. He's pretty smart for a dog.
I went and saw Dr. Joe for my rooster shots last week. I am happy to report that I am healthy and have gained 1 pound and 1 ounce since my visit three weeks earlier! Mommy says I am growing before her very eyes. I am sleek and shiny and very, very handsome. I'm called the little house panther!
I hope you are all doing well. We all love and miss you.
Love and Hugs,
Ricky-Tiki-Tavi

The Rudy Report

Hello there kitties! It's ME! - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! It's fun to have a nap with Daddy - he has a cool sense of humor. He was trying to give me bunny ears. I was trying to sleep. Silly Daddy! We are happy to see that Parker is now grooming herself and has gained some more weight. She sends her love and thanks to all of you who have sent good wishes and purrs. Soon she will be well enough to pose for some photos and be back on her own blog.
My furs are growing back and it feels wonderful. They are soft and smooth and I am glad I have more of them now that it's cooler. Mommy and Daddy have spotted a feral kitty outside that they are now feeding and trying to catch. He's orange like me and we have named him Rogue since he is a wanderer. When we catch him, he'll go to the shelter for a wellness check and a neuter. If they can socialize him, he'll go up for adoption, if not he'll come back here to his territory and we'll set up a little shelter for him. As of now he won't come anywhere near Mommy or Daddy.
Mommy is getting ready for our little shelter's "Strut Your Mutt" that is on October 15th. Diamond gets to go but us kitties are going to take a pass on all of the canine fun.
I also hear a rumor that the 'rents are leaving us in a few weeks for some "alone time". Our awesome sitter will come, so I guess I am OK with that.
Keep those tails high kitties!

Tummy and Toes For Tuesday

I realized that it been a long time since I have showed off my tummy and my toes. I apologize for the delay. The 'nip is an extra-value bonus. You're welcome.

Gosh, I'm cute.

Smoochies!

Easy Like Sunday

Such a pretty Autumn day! I know that I convince Mommy to let us out on the deck, the weather would be perfect for a few hours of sunning my furs. Daddy has to rake leaves and I think for once, Mommy has a little free time to just sit and be with us kitties.
Mommy has been crazy busy these last few months and we deserve a little playtime!
I mean, who could say no to this face???

Tummy? You Want Some Tummy?

I got your tummy right here!

Ain't I adorable?

Tattle Tail Tuesday - My BooBoo Report

Hi everykitty! It's time to show you my BooBoo. But first, here's my other end!

I like being silly! I was playing with tree bark in the above photo - it's a fun toy! Mommy says I am very easy to amuse. I think that's a compliment, right?
In this photo I may have been under the influence of 'nip.

See my BooBoo? It's been very slow to heal.

That's 'cause I scratched it off a few times...

It's really looking much better, but I am probably going to have a little scar. Mommy says she's very grateful that there was never an infection. I'll be happy when she quits cleaning it all of the time! And while Rudy is at the groomers tomorrow, I'm going to lick all of his toys 'till they are wet and take a nap in his favorite spot! Life is good kitties, life is good.

Big Smoochies,

Saturday Caturday

If you can't snag the Gizzy by the fireplace, snag Daddy's chair.

Formerly Feral Friday - MEatloaf

I love meatloaf. Mommy made some last weekend and we all got a little taste. But what I don't love is that she says that I look like a meatloaf. So Mommy, here's a little formerly feral lesson in the difference between meatloaf and me!

This is Meatloaf.

This is meatloaf in the oven.

This is me! I must admit, I am a little saucy!

Saturday Caturday - My Way

Hi! I just wanted to show you that I still am claiming the dining room table as my favorite new sitting spot. Mommy and Daddy have just about given up trying to discourage me. With all of the storms and sadness on the blogosphere lately, I think they have decided to let me have my way.

Which is just the way it ought to be...right?
Hugs to everykitty today - and some smoochies too!
