We're going to have a small party with the Krew for him to celebrate as we're kinda subdued right now....<br />
<br />
...because with good news, comes bad news -- we lost our sweet Gypsy Girl on Oct. 21st. She was sick for about 6 weeks, and just didn't make it. Gypsy was only 3 and almost reached her 2nd Gotchaversary this past Saturday...<br />
<br />
...but Ziggy, who was adopted at the same time as Gypsy, quietly celebrated their joint 2nd Gotchaversary with the rest of the Krew on her behalf.<br />
<br />
So after two losses this year, we're down to four kitties in the Krew now. Really strange.<br />
<br />
We're sorry to be so doom and gloom when we do manage to post. So we'll circle back around and say:<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY, PIXIE!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Purrs and hugs to all,<br />

You may have seen the news on the Cat Blogosphere that today is Roxy's birthday. Unfortunately, we have sad news for you all. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/frown.gif" /> Our baby doll Roxy crossed the Rainbow Bridge back in early April at the age of ~5.5 years old after a sudden illness. We still miss her so much. Yeah, we know that The Mommy kinda considered her, and Callie, as the favorites; and yeah, the rest of us were a little jealous. But we didn't want both of them to cross the Bridge within 16 months of each other! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/bawling.gif" />
<br />

<br />
She was such a beautiful calico girl, a good sister to the furry butts and a great lap warmer and companion for The Mommy. We hope her and Callie are enjoying their time napping in the sun, chasing mousies and romping around with other CB friends over there across the Bridge. Give your furries/feathers or other non-human friends an extra pat in Roxy's memory, yeah?<br />

On another note, we know it's been nearly a year since we last posted (or visited), and we appreciate those of you that still come by and post comments from time to time to let us know you're thinking of us; we think of all you guys, too! It's been some busy months for The Mommy, made worse by various health issues, some easily taken care of and some not so much.<br />
<br />
We hope to start posting and visiting again, although it'll likely be sporadic and with no real schedule. Some of her health issues remain, including a chronic condition that changes life to a "new normal" kinda thing. But we're keeping positive and upbeat as best we can, and look forward to seeing what everyone has been up to!<br />
<br />
Love, hugs and purrrrrrs to all,<br />

The Kitty Krew and The MommyThe Kitty Krewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04231716895496139767noreply@blogger.com41tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237502845319380643.post-62496697847895243792010-10-22T19:30:00.001-05:002010-10-22T19:33:36.507-05:00Celebrations!The last four months of the year bring a lot of events to celebrate here at The Kitty Krew, along with a few to mourn in remembering CAts who have LEft Before (our vSquillion, Caleb, was named in their collective honor). Since last year, however, we have an extra squishing of party time to do in a short time...so we convinced The Mommy to let us just party for an extended time!<br />
<br />
We start off with an event today...yeah, this should have been posted earlier. It could be blamed on Blogger eating the post, but we all know who's to blame. Useless, that's you, Mommy. *sigh*<br />
<br />
So, here's what we've got going on:<br />
<br />
<div></div><div></div><ul><li>October 22, 2005 - Roxy's Gotcha Day: Yep, 5 years ago, Miss Baby Doll Roxy joined The Kitty Krew as a roughly 7 week old calico cutie pie! She's as adorable as they come, and loves lap time witih The Mommy....when she's out and about in the 'open', that is. She hides a lot these days in cabinets and the couch due to the antics of the younger boys.</li>
<li>October 29, 2009 - Gypsy's and Ziggy's Gotcha Day: Hard to believe, but it's been almost a year since Girly Girl Gypsy and He-Puts-the-Punk-in-Punkin' Ziggy were adopted and added to the house. Gypsy mostly stays to herself, unless she hears any other cats getting into a spit-and-hiss fight, in which case she runs right over to join in. Ziggy is the bane of Roxy's existence, as he quickly decided that she's his personal attack toy. Although the youngest, he's quickly become the Young Turk and often talks Pixie into joining his escapades.</li>
<li>November 1, 2006 - Pixie's birthday (observed): Darlin' Pixie is almost 4, and though he had a tendency to pick on Roxy and Sassy anyway, once Ziggy came along, it became a full-blown obsession in tandem with his new pal. And with or without Ziggy, Pixie likes to cop a 'tude and walk up to another cat and cuff 'em....just because he can. The Mommy isn't exempt, either. This black beauty should have gotten October 31 as his observed birthday since he's a Halloween cat!</li>
</ul>4 events...11 days...so we're partying through the end of October! (And yes, we said 4 events...Gypsy's and Ziggy's Gotcha Days get counted as a separate event each. LOL)<br />
<br />
So come join us when you can, and come back often. The magic food fairy will keep us well-stocked.<br />
<br />
Purrs and hugs,<br />

<br />
In honor of all cancer fighters and survivors everywhere, including our very own Bugsy, we're proud to be participating in the LiveStrong blogging event today.<br />
<br />
As many of you know, Bugsy had his right eye removed last year after a tumor was discovered, and that tumor turned out to be cancerous. He underwent radiation treatments for a three-week period in late September and early October last year -- yes, right about this time last year, he was finishing up those treatments. He's had 3 follow-up visits since then, the most recent in mid-August, and Dr. Cancer Vet says that so far, he's in excellent health with no signs of any recurrence of the tumor or any further spread of any cancerous cells from that tumor! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/happydance.gif" /> We are thrilled and blessed with this good news, and hope the next visit in February continues the positive trend.<br />
<br />
The Mommy's sister had thyroid cancer about 25 years ago, and has had a few scares since then of possible recurrences but so far, nothing substantial has happened. We're keeping paws and fingers crossed that this continues as well and that the scares go away. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/fingerscrossed.gif" /> A shout-out to Auntie Tee if she's reading today. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/flowerred.gif" /><br />
<br />
Otherwise, The Mommy's family has been pretty lucky not to have any/many major cancer occurrences (either that, or she just doesn't remember them....which is possible as her memory seems to get worse and worse as time goes by, and she's only in her mid 40s!). She's known other people who got through cancer scares and others who weren't so fortunate and others who are still fighting. It's an ugly, scary, vicious disease and we wish all the best to anyone who has gone or is going through it, personally or with family and/or friends. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/grouphug.gif" /><br />
<br />
She's currently reading a fictional book series set on a not-too-far-flung future Earth, that includes mention of the discovery of an anti-cancer vaccine in the year 2023. Let's all wish and/or pray, whatever your preference, that such a thing comes true (even sooner maybe!)....<br />

<br />
It's our (observed) birthday today, along with our sister Callie, who became an Angel at the Rainbow Bridge last December. We're 7 years old now (yes, Ziggy and Pixie, Bugsy saw that crack on Tuesday about being "so old" now...he can still whip your butts, you young whippersnappers!), even if Callie is forever 6.<br />
<br />
Recently, we received some beautiful ink drawings of our lovely angel Callie that we had commissioned from The Ball Guy (you know him from our dear friends at <a href="http://www.themonkeys.ca/">The Monkeys</a>), and in honor of her birthday at the Bridge, we'd like to share one of those with everyone now. We think this is our favorite...but it changes everytime we look at them. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/wink.gif" /><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXEHaWs7YRtzsaLD5dX3CQ80q02v5cXhHwf6f_hPaCzw-GSmM3JZCSIYQgQ7n8P3Tkw3C6AZuF0QZzv_ki0yv5fyHo2fCcXbCdaxbch8uOpuw3YhTfRFUR0E1PiUGN_elM1rcfjZ7og04/s1600/Callie+100110.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXEHaWs7YRtzsaLD5dX3CQ80q02v5cXhHwf6f_hPaCzw-GSmM3JZCSIYQgQ7n8P3Tkw3C6AZuF0QZzv_ki0yv5fyHo2fCcXbCdaxbch8uOpuw3YhTfRFUR0E1PiUGN_elM1rcfjZ7og04/s400/Callie+100110.gif" width="370" /></a></div><br />
Isn't The Ball Guy great?? We heart him. Thanks so much, Ball Guy! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/grouphug.gif" /><br />
<br />
But today is not a day for sadness; no, today is a day for a birthday party, combined for us and Gypsy! So come on over and party party party with us all, and we can lift a niptini glass in honor of Callie as well. Come and go as you please all weekend long, there's plenty of food and drinks for everyone -- sorry kittens, pups and other youngsters, milk only for you. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/smirk.gif" /><br />
<br />
Be here or be square!<br />

Today is my birthday! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/laugh.gif" /> I'm 2 years old today, although this is my first birthday here at The Kitty Krew. And it's my real birthday too, documented and everything, not one of those fake "observed" birthdays like most of the Krew have.<br />
<br />
We're not going to have a party today though; but be sure to come back tomorrow to see why. I don't mind, I need to take plenty of naps to rest up!<br />

Well, we intended to do better about posting this month but it hasn't quite worked out, has it? We've said it before and we'll say it again....The Mommy is <i>so</i> useless. *sigh*<br />
<br />
The Kitty Krew has a busy week coming up, though, and wanted to get things warmed up. We are the young and tough boys around here now that Bugsy's gettin' so old <i>(more on that later this week!)</i> and we have a lot of fun wrasslin' around together. We're quick, though, so The Mommy can rarely get photos of us in action. You'll just have to mostly take our word for it. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/grin.gif" /> Here are a couple of actions shots she managed to get, though.<br />
<br />
First, Ziggy tries to get at Pixie while he's playing in the trash can.<br />

Next, we have a good old-fashioned paw fight on the chair fort, while Gypsy huddles underneath.<br />
<br />

(In case you're wondering, naw, we didn't knock the chair over. The Mommy was cleaning underneath and was nice enough to let us play for awhile! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/laugh.gif" />)<br />
<br />
Gotta go, we feel another wrasslin' session coming on...<br />

Hi everyone! Wow, hard to believe summer is basically over and it's September already. We kind of unexpectedly took off for the summer but we plan on getting back into the swing of things soon (it doesn't help that The Mommy's work thing has restricted certain fun places like YouTube and Facebook and, yes, BLOGGER from their internet connections - the meanies!).<br />
<br />
But hey guess what -- today is my birthday! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/happydance.gif" /> Or at least, the day we celebrate for my birthday, since we don't know the *real* date. I'm 5 years old now.<br />
<br />
I think I'll celebrate by taking a nap. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/grin.gif" /><br />

Bugsy here, to tell you some Things on Thursday. As you saw yesterday, Gypsy and I had to carefully snoopervise the handyman guy on Saturday while he was installing the window aycee unit in the bedroom. We were the only two brave enough to come out and watch Mr. Bobby while he worked; the rest of the Krew were hiding under the bed, or even under the couch in another room altogether! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/lol.gif" /><br />
<br />
I'll admit that Gypsy was even braver than me, though; she got up pretty close to Mr. Bobby, while I stayed up on the bed with The Mommy. Look at Gypsy here, she even went over and checked out the inner guts of the aycee monster, while Mr. Bobby was putting the frame thingy in the window!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWMCuoSBoHl_zTBfZRwVizXVMas9hYG4ZudJnkvq_aETR4Jjq77z3ZO4lpGqpUPssIadlSx8QwJy6TgAQz9WICuugARwep4CD5pkwMI4QTLxiQTG_vVzLp7aHAazcZWENKh-oROx9tKs/s1600/Thursday2+061010+060510.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWMCuoSBoHl_zTBfZRwVizXVMas9hYG4ZudJnkvq_aETR4Jjq77z3ZO4lpGqpUPssIadlSx8QwJy6TgAQz9WICuugARwep4CD5pkwMI4QTLxiQTG_vVzLp7aHAazcZWENKh-oROx9tKs/s400/Thursday2+061010+060510.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Later after Mr. Bobby was done with the window aycee in the bedroom, the rest of the chicken-cats came out of hiding and took a turn checking it out.<br />

As for the status of the regular main aycee, the aycee repair peoples are supposed to be out here this morning to fix it. However, we're also supposed to be getting big thunder boomers this morning. So we're not sure if we'll be seeing the aycee repair people or not, since they have to do a lot of the work outside. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/smirk.gif" /> At least it cools things down a little, and we still have the window aycee units in the meantime!<br />

We're just chillin' out in the bedroom after our big Blogoversary Bash this weekened. We sure do appreciate everyone coming by, we had a great time and hope you all did too! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/laugh.gif" /><br />
<br />
Ummm...but we have to apologize if things seemed a little warm and stuffy over here. Our air conditioning has been out since last Tuesday, and here in Texas in summer, that means it gets mighty hot mighty fast inside. Some of you might have noticed the A/C repair guy poking around on Friday afternoon during the Blogoversary Bash, and he had the bad news that it wasn't a quick fix (boo!). So you may have also noticed the handyman guy who came over on Saturday morning after The Mommy's urgent call for help, and he installed a couple of window A/C units to get us through the weekend (when 100 degree temps and 105 degree heat index temps were expected, though we don't think it really got *quite* that hot) and the next few days until the main unit gets fixed. <br />
<br />
It was quite pleasant in the bedroom by mid-day Saturday, that's why we urged everyone to head that direction later in the day. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/wink.gif" /> Took a little longer for the kitchen/den/living area to cool off, but overall the window units are working pretty darn good...especially compared to how miserable we all were for most of last week.<br />
<br />
We're keeping our paws crossed for getting the A/C properly fixed early this week...<br />

Saturday, June 5th is our one-year blogoversary, but since we know many kitties don't get to visit much on the weekends (including us sometimes), we decided to party all weekend long, starting today. So come and go as you please, and help yourself to any of the tasty treats available to you.<br />
<br />
We've got chick-hen...<br />
<br />

There are also plenty of Temptations, Greenies and other treats too, and we've got lots of mousies, nip nanners, and other toys to play with.<br />
<br />
We'd like to thank everyone we've met over the past year for spending time with us, allowing us to come into your homes, and welcoming us into the Cat Blogosphere with open paws. A very special thank you to Wally, Ernie and Zoey of <a href="http://www.island-cats.com/">The Island Cats</a>, who were the very first kitties to leave us a comment on our bloggie and welcome us to the CB, and who have remained good friends ever since. Other quite-early visitors included <a href="http://twodevoncats.blogspot.com/">Eric and Flynn</a> and <a href="http://milocat.wordpress.com/">Milo and Alfie</a>, among others. We love all our friends! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/grouphug.gif" /> You've laughed with us, you've shared with us, you've purrrrred with us, and you've cried with us when we lost our dear Callie nearly 6 months ago. The CB is a great place to be.<br />
<br />
Come on over and celebrate with us all weekend long! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/happydance.gif" /><br />

<br />
First, from <a href="http://samandy007.blogspot.com/">Sammy and Andy</a>, and also specifically to Pixie from Ernie at <a href="http://www.island-cats.com/">The Island Cats</a>, we received The Versatile Blogger award.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHo-BOemqok0fCMIYqv1rGeY79mxMyCQSt55fCFk7yhbmnIoBKbzLWEu0PhHkbdkfk9vbGNH77GtuNxZtGG8D3OGFYkd97g-ghuJU4b9gYn0aaSZBwDkLACNSvp_0DmxJHlZ8QJMdkyFs/s1600/Versatile+bloggers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHo-BOemqok0fCMIYqv1rGeY79mxMyCQSt55fCFk7yhbmnIoBKbzLWEu0PhHkbdkfk9vbGNH77GtuNxZtGG8D3OGFYkd97g-ghuJU4b9gYn0aaSZBwDkLACNSvp_0DmxJHlZ8QJMdkyFs/s320/Versatile+bloggers.jpg" /></a></div><br />
There are 3 rules that go along with this award:<br />
<br />
<i>Rule 1. Thank the person who gave it to you.</i><br />
<br />
Thank you very much, Sammy and Andy!!!! We love you guys, and your mamabug too. And to Ernie from Pixie, you rock, fellow House Panther! Thanks, dude!<br />
<br />
<i>Rule 2. Share 9 things about yourself.</i><br />
<br />
1. If Pixie or Ziggy are chasing Roxy, Gypsy will run over and get in the middle of things - not necessarily to help either side, but just to get in on the fun.<br />
<br />
2. Sassy loves to sleep on top of the chest of drawers in the bedroom - so much so that The Mommy finally gave up and put a soft blankie on the top for her instead of having anything else on top.<br />
<br />
3. Our sweet Callie angel used to lay on the bathroom counter while The Mommy got ready for work. Ziggy and Bugsy sometimes will get on the counter, but they never just lay there and wait and watch like Callie used to do.<br />
<br />
4. It's a good thing we have lots of places to sleep, 'cause none of us like to cuddle up very close together.<br />
<br />
5. We all like to drink out of the kitchen faucet so The Mommy keeps it running a bit all the time in addition to having two water bowls. Bugsy and Sassy don't as much as all the younger kitties, though.<br />
<br />
6. All of us except Gypsy like to take our turns curling up on The Mommy's lap. Gypsy still isn't very affectionate, although she will let The Mommy pick her up and pet her for a few moments, and sometimes rub against her leg.<br />
<br />
7. Pixie absolutely loves to be picked up and held and petted, just like a baby.<br />
<br />
8. Gypsy loves to be given treats and any time The Mommy even looks like she might possibly be walking towards where the treats are kept, Gypsy will run over there and sit by the container and meow and meow and meow.<br />
<br />
9. Roxy sleeps under the couch a lot 'cause she has to hide from Pixie and Ziggy, who like to chase her. But as long as The Mommy is home, she's usually out and around.<br />
<br />
Rule 3. Pass the award along to 9 bloggers who you think are fantastic.<br />
<br />
Well, we think everyone is fantastic and we really hate choosing. And we know a lot of you have already gotten this and are quite frankly too lazy to see who has and who hasn't. <img src="http://hansenastro.com/wink.gif" /> So if you've already gotten it and we're giving it to you again, it's a compliment! We'd like to give it to:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://attiecattieblog.blogspot.com/">Attie Cattie (and Audrey too)</a><br />
2. Brian and all his sisters at <a href="http://brianshome-me.blogspot.com/">Brian's Home</a><br />
3. <a href="http://keas-fur-family.blogspot.com/">The Fuzzy Tales gang</a><br />
4. The incomparable <a href="http://housecatconfidential.blogspot.com/">Fin</a><br />
5. Our new friends at <a href="http://katniplounge.blogspot.com/">Katnip Lounge</a><br />
6. The rascally <a href="http://milocat.wordpress.com/">Milo and Alfie</a><br />
7. <a href="http://noirsnook2015.blogspot.com/">Neighbor Noir</a> along with his family<br />
8. Floofy <a href="http://sweetpraline.blogspot.com/">Sweet Praline</a><br />
9. All the kitties at <a href="http://thecreekcats.blogspot.com/">The Creek Cats</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Our second award was received from our friend Down Under, <a href="http://hufflemawson.blogspot.com/">Miss Huffle Mawson</a>, the Happy Cat Award! Thank you so much, Huff.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPu2HD00msUn4CtmsQYbmd00iXIBBx5WoAk8RVUDvyWQg_UEOO8Y9jWYPaIIQ5KEDdu9wLT2CWaUVqv-21HoBhzTidBbZe1wIkDmI7HHEaYgQwZLojt-OsrgLJhQOox3EwB8WnxVoFgU/s1600/Happy+Cat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPu2HD00msUn4CtmsQYbmd00iXIBBx5WoAk8RVUDvyWQg_UEOO8Y9jWYPaIIQ5KEDdu9wLT2CWaUVqv-21HoBhzTidBbZe1wIkDmI7HHEaYgQwZLojt-OsrgLJhQOox3EwB8WnxVoFgU/s320/Happy+Cat.jpg" /></a></div><br />
The rules say we have to list six things that make us happy, then pass this award on to six of our friends.<br />
<br />
Since there are six of us, we'll each list one thing that make us happy:<br />
<br />
1. Bugsy: Sleeping on a window perch in the window<br />
<br />
2. Sassy: Being up on top of the kitchen cabinets away from Pixie<br />
<br />
3. Roxy: Laying on The Mommy's lap<br />
<br />
4. Pixie: Drinking from the kitchen faucet<br />
<br />
5. Gypsy: Getting treats<br />
<br />
6. Ziggy: Playing with twistie ties or pieces of cardboard on the kitchen floor<br />
<br />
As with the other award, we're sure there are many who have already gotten it and we're not sure who has and who hasn't without checking, which we didn't. So if you've already gotten it...welllll, you can just not do the game part. We're going to pass the award on to:<br />
<br />
1. Deli and Sammy at <a href="http://www.themonkeys.ca/">The Monkeys</a><br />
2. All of <a href="http://www.island-cats.com/">The Island Cats</a><br />
3. <a href="http://rumble-bum.blogspot.com/">Inigo and Rumblepurr</a><br />
4. Our friends Tasha, Franklin and Dobby at <a href="http://mishkathryn.blogspot.com/">Mishkat</a> (bonus happy thing, that they're blogging again!)<br />
5. The lovely ladies at <a href="http://jacquelinescathouse.blogspot.com/">Jacqueline's Cat House</a>, Calle, Halle & Sukki -- and Mommy and Daddy too!<br />
6. <a href="http://twodevoncats.blogspot.com/">Eric and Flynn</a><br />
<br />
Whew! That's a lot of 'warding on Wednesday. It's time for naps now...<br />
<br />

<br />
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Its intended purpose is to serve as a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the "National Moment of Remembrance" resolution was passed in Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans "To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence."<br />
<br />
We at The Kitty Krew would like to dedicate today's post to those brave men and women throughout our country's history who have given their lives, at home and abroad, in whatever manner of service to our country. We also honor those who have served before and who continue to serve. Thanks to your sacrifices, we can enjoy our freedoms.<br />

Well, I went back to spend the day with Dr. Vet all day again yesterday to follow up on my bladder infection I told y'all about a couple of weeks ago. I really hate that, having to stay all day, but it's the only way they can steal my pee to test it. I'm too ornery to cooperate otherwise!<br />
<br />
Turns out I still have blood or blood cells or something like that in my pee, so he gave The Mommy a different kind of Auntie Biotic to try for a few weeks. She's happy, 'cause it's already in liquid format so she doesn't have to do the crush-up-the-pill and mix-it-with-water thing twice a day that she'd been doing. I'm happy, 'cause it's only once a day instead of twice. Well, as happy as I'm going to be, having to take <i><b>any</b></i> medicine, that is. I'll still fight her about it, though. MOL<br />
<br />
Speaking of fighting, when they came to take me out of the big cage to put me back in my little travel cage to go home with The Mommy, I got all hissy with them and startled them! <img src="http://hansenastro.com/laugh.gif" /> I thought maybe they were gonna take me and poke and prod and be mean to me some more, 'cause I didn't know she was there too. I almost got all scratchy with them, but then I saw The Mommy and realized she was there to rescue me (even though it was all her fault in the first place that I was there <img src="http://hansenastro.com/mad.gif" />), so I let them coax me into the travel cage without scratching anyone.<br />
<br />
I'm so ready to be out of all the cages, though, that I'm just a blur!!<br />
<br />

Oh yeah, we wanted to let you all know that we won't be around to visit much over the upcoming long U.S. holiday weekend -- The Mommy's bean brother had one of those Big Number birthdays last week, so they're having a big birthday bash on Saturday and since their bean mom and stepdad as well as their bean sister and niece and nephew are flying down for the weekend, The Mommy will be off doing family things and abandoning us all day every day. Sheesh. So we hope you all have a safe and fun-filled weekend, wherever you are!<br />

After a hard-fought battle and victory over my nemesis, the little red catnip mousie, it's always good to curl up for a nap. And to show what a graceful winner I am, I never mind if the mouse curls up with me too. It's just good manners, after all, and of course I <i><b>am</b></i> a ladycat.<br />

Yeah, I guess I really should have paid more attention to what Sassy said last week about the cage and the moving vehicle thingy and going to see Dr. Vet. And Roxy the week before that. You guessed it -- it was my turn this past Saturday. *sigh* And I didn't like it one bit, I told The Mommy all about it on the way there, too.<br />
<br />
Heh - I showed Dr. Vet too...when he gave me the second deworm-y pill, I spit both it *and* the first one that he thought I'd swallowed already back up on the table! MOL Of course he just shoved 'em back down again and made me swallow 'em, but I showed him who was boss the first time, by golly.<br />
<br />
Now let me out of this cage!!!<br />

Hi kitties! Sassy here, to warn you to always be on your guard. You never know when you're going to be scooped up from a perfectly good napping spot and suddenly plunked into the carrying cage, forced into the moving 'car' thing, and :shudder: taken to see Dr. Vet, where you not only have to deal with all the awful smells of unknown creatures, but you also get poked and prodded and have stuff shoved down your throat and get stabbed repeatedly with pointy things. THEN, after all that, you get plunked back into the cage and forced back into the moving thing before you get back home and finally released from the cage.<br />
<br />
It's not a pleasant experience, let me tell you. It happened to me on Saturday and I won't soon forget it. Roxy tried to warn us, 'cause she went through it the week before, but I didn't believe her. Next time I'll listen, even if she is just a youngster. The good thing is, The Mommy says everything is okay and I shouldn't have to go through it again for a year (Roxy either). I'm telling you, in a year -- however long that is -- I'm going into hiding!<br />
<br />
Stay safe, kitties!<br />
<br />
