some thursday night...

Saturday!

we went to the vet today....

and I've been joking about Albert going through his teens lately, he's not as snuggly as he used to be, mostly hides out by himself. now he has kitty acne. it's treated pretty much like people acne, with some benzoil peroxide shampoo. the fun part will be getting him to sit still for washing. Otherwise, everyone is good, unless something shows up in their bloodwork, but they all seem healthy, so I'm not expecting anything to come up.

let sleeping kitties lie

friday cat blogging...

albert has claimed the large puppy bed, nobody else sleeps on it.

pet picture time!

"helpers" in the guest bedroom...

random pictures

Skwerlz!

Carlos

Sophie

and yes, her tongue hangs out almost all the time.

Iz in ur IBA....

stalkin' ur kitteh.

life with Albert....

no laptop is safe. If he doesn't shut it down directly he'll just go turn the power strip off so the battery runs down. well played, kitten, well played.

ok, I'm tired of seeing my face ....

so, um, random pictures

Albert pictures

He loves RTO's hair. This was at the vet's office.

He also like to "help" me knit.

I generally have to wait for him to get sleepy to get a picture.

Progress!

or sign of the apocalypse.. you decide.

Carlos just came into the bedroom of his own free will and sat in the window for a while then left by walking right past Sophie in her crate.

This is the same cat that maybe an hour earlier had hissed and hissed when I carried him from the bathroom to the bed so I could pet him. He does not like Sophie at all, and I can't really blame him. and whenever I bring him to bed he high tails it out as soon as he can and always hisses at Sophie on the way out. but not tonight.

Albert!

maggie

1997 - 2010

I don't think maggie's too pleased

Carlos has taken an interest in her closet hidey-hole.

IBKC extreme cuteness...

They have been putting up quite few videos like this one lately. I think on the first one she mentions how many pictures she takes of each batch to get the really good photos. So she's been putting them all together by batch and there a little moments where it looks like a stop-motion movie.

I love them. sometimes I'll see similar things with my own pictures, but I generally don't take enough to do that very often.

Carlos' new friend.

It's time once again for....

Confessions of a bad kitteh momz.

I let the dogs in yesterday morning without closing the gates first. So of course Sophie went looking for kittehs. I was trying to corral her and Roxie back into the living room, but they were both staring and or barking (Sophie) at maggie. I wasn't having any luck at catching either dog and maggie decided she'd had enough and tried to make a break for it over the dining room table. But Sophie caught her before she made it to the living room. Not sure exactly what happened, but maggie ended up on her back, and I was screaming at both dogs to leave her alone. At least it was a chance to grab them finally and I put them both back outside.

Went to find maggie and she seemed okay. kinda damp, but no broken skin. But then I noticed she was limping. So I called up the vet and she wasn't going to be in for a couple hours could I wait til then? um, sure. Had fun trying to keep an eye on maggie until we finally headed out for the vet's office.

Anyhoo, had her x-rayed and nothing was broken, but her back leg was obviously painful as she let the vet know when she was prodded. so, she's on pain medication for a few days and hopefully she won't spend all day in the scary bedroom closet like today.

When I went to pick her up from the vet, there was a guy there with his tiny dog whose jaw had been broken when the guy's boxer had decided he was a chew toy. So, I suppose it could have been much worse.

This week is not going at all how I'd planned.

Chaos!!!

Monday, I named her Sadie, but today she's telling me she'd rather be called Sophie. we'll see...

Woo Hoo!!!

Where R Kittehs?

oh gee, she's stupid

Worst. Idea. EVAR!!!
