Sad Cat

River is a serial killer of boxes.

Nico the Goddess Cat who lives in our house loves boxes 

and she picks a new one every week or so to love.

Today I went out on the deck for about 15 min and came back in to find this:

Went in the bedroom to take a bath and put up the laundry.

When I came back out this is what I found:

Photo Post: Evil Cat is Hungry

Evil Cat pondering who (whom?) to eat first.

We ran out of cat food yesterday.
Luckily we got to the shop this morning before she decided the dogs would do.

This is Not Sad...

There is way too much fucking "weigh you down" sadness this week.
Fires in Texas and all the 9/11 stuff.
I made the mistake of turning on NPR earlier. Christ, one depressing angst fest after another. Tragedy porn at it's finest.
Enough to make this depressed, broke and hormonal woman want to end it all with a butter knife.
To make us all feel better I give you a picture of Angus the Stray Who Lives Under My House Because He Sprays. That planter never got filled this year with flowers and what not because he decided it made a very fine cat bed. I have gone outside and found him sleeping in it on his back with just his kitty paws trust in the air.
Oh yes.
It is too laugh.

My Wild Jungle Cat

Cats in Planters

I'm sure there is a website that collects pictures of cats curled up in planters somewhere...here are mine.

Cheif Iz a Sad Kitty

Why do pets insist on getting hurt when the vet is closed?
Today I realized that Master Cheif was growling at everyone after coming in and laying down under a chair.
He's normally very sweet and would never growl at the dogs.
I bend down and give him a small "hey stop that" push and he has a huge (like 5 inches) tear in his skin behind his right front leg.
And just skin but down though the muscle.
No bleeding anywhere.
I think the cat who likes to get on the roof fell off and hit a lawn chair or the edge of the deck roof which is aluminum and sharp.

Of course I freak and head out to the emergency vet at the same time I call the boy to come meet me there since it is his cat.
The boy gets there and he makes one of the "adult" decisions pet owners make...to spend ever dollar you have to save a pet.
Vet thinks it looks bad but she'll sedate him and look around....the look around showed that he had not broken or punctured anything just a clean slice though. So she got everything stitched back together and we waited....

$452 later he has an Elizabethan collar, big ugly Frankenstein stitches across his back and drains hangin' out in case fluids build up. Recover is not for sure, but the vet felt he has a very good chance to make it.

Right now he is still drugged up and lock in the pet carrier for at least the next 6 hours.
Poor little kitty.
Keep your fingers crossed and send good thoughts his way.
Once he is on his way we will mock the collar by taking pictures.
So 1 life down, 8 to go.....

More Kitty Goodness

Crazy Cat Lady

Oueen O' The Bag

Chief was playing with the scrap wrapping paper bag, but Nico really wanted the bag all for herself.
Guess who won?

Kitty Mission

This summer Chief picked up the annoying cat habit of sleeping in planters with the expressed mission of killing all my flowers.
Still on the job I see....

Because I Hate My Cat....

Actually I love my cat, but I can't resist a cat in a head cone.
We discovered that Nico had some kinda "mass" on her chest and thought, cancer, so I had planned to take her to the vet later this week.
Tonight I discovered that she has licked the spot, now it is a spot with no hair, a hole and infection.
Just an abscess.
She won't leave it alone so we made a cone to keep her away from the sore until I get her to the vet in the am.

She will kill us all when this is over.

Fat Kitty

...is not pleased.

Chief and Morning Glories

Here is a new picture of Chief.
Such a big boy, no longer a little kitty.
He has begun venturing out on the back deck and into the yard.


The deck covered with wisteria and morning glories.

Scary Kitties

I know I should not laugh, but there is something about bobcats taking over an abandoned home just hilarious.

He's Home!

Mr. Kitty, who has had issues since his near death experience, wandered off almost a week ago.
I have been so sad, crying over the weekend and just moping around.
Tonight, I went to lock the front door before I went to bed.
I looked out "just in case" and he just comes wandering up the steps!

sigh.
I feel very warm and happy right now.

Chief Update: 9 Weeks

Awwwwwww........

Monkeys Are Not Babies....

It just had to be said.

Post over on Jezebel about women who fill the baby "want" with a, get this, MONKEY.

Jebus, that takes "crazy cat" lady to a whole new level.

You know those monkeys are just waiting to kill their owners in the night for dressing them up like a freaking doll.
Best comment:
So when I pick the lice off myself in public and throw shit at people while wearing a sailor onesie it's WRONG AND DISGUSTING but when they do it it's cute? That is so goddamn unfair...

I think these gals need re-education in what sane baby lusting gals do....I give you the Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kit.

Rawar.....

Alley Cat just got in an altercation with the tom next door.
She kicked his ass.
He really should stay off our deck.....

OTOH, Mr. Kitty is mad at me.
He has been ill and suffering from seizures so i won't let him go outside so he can have a huge seizure and sit in the freaking sun all day so he can get so dehydrated he feels like he is in rigor like he did last Sat.
OMG!!!1111!!! I am such a bitch.
sigh, my poor kitty.
Chief update, he wants to try the great outdoors.


I do not think so.
I have this image of him flying off in the talons of a hawk....

Chief Update

I wanted to take a picture of Chief to show how much he had grown in just the last two weeks.
Silly me.
I had forgotten how hard it is to get a kitten to sit still.....








Finally he looked up at me at just the right time.
Stinker.
"Behold the CUTE, it will make you bow down and worship the kitteh."


Mr. Kitty was NOT amused.

For now I'll have to grab a picture when he is all worn out....



Everyone say awwwwww.
