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.



The Good, The Bad and The Sticky

Hi! I'm Back! And this is my 500th post!

Wow have I ever missed you! I am so happy that our computer is sort of fixed and that I can get to visit you and tell you all of the news in O Hi O. The hard drive that is in my computer now is only a temporary one, it's a long story and I won't bore you all with the technical drama that has happened. Mommy says that maybe we should have just bought a new laptop for all of the hassle that this has caused...But anyhow, we are all fine and we have been busy playing and trying to keep cool. There is also a lot of action going on because tomorrow we are going to have company. Mommy's roommate from college is coming for a visit and she is bringing her son with her. He is 5 years old! I have never met a little bean before and I don't know how to feel about this. Are they really sticky? Do they really like to play with kitties? Should I hide? Mommy says that I will probably like him because he is very nice and has a woofie of his own at home and knows how to be nice to animals. I say just because he has a woofie at home does not mean he knows how to be with me! I'll let you know how things go...
AND next Friday we all have to go and meet a new V.E.T.!
Never a dull moment here in O Hi O!
It's good to be back on the innernets!
Smooches to all of you!

Tattle Tail Tuesday - It. Was. The. Modem.

"Hiya'! I'm back, didja' miss me?"

After days of running scans, cleaning out files and other stoopid attempts at fixing a computer that WAS NOT BROKEN, the very nice computer man spent 2 minutes looking at our computer and said to Mommy, "unplug your modem." So once Daddy did that, the very nice computer man was able to hook us up to another signal in the 'hood and BAM!, blazing fast connection!
Does Mommy feel very stupid? Yes.
Am I happy to be back with my friends in the blogosphere? Yes.
Do I worry that Mommy is so stupid that she might forget how to feed me? Yup, yup, I do.
So, if you'll excuse me, I need to catch up on what you kitties have been up to!
See ya'!
