Preparing for the cold

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

It is supposed to get into the teens tonight, so I went to the hardware store and bought some moisture barrier. I just finished wrapping the upper level of the cage where Buzzby is now living. I tried insulating with hay, but it seemed to scare him, so I had to do something else. […]

Here’s Buzzby

Friday, December 29th, 2006

Because the coffee stand is named Buzz’d I decided to name my newest visitor Buzzyby. I have discovered, he has been declawed- front paws only BUT not neutered! WTH is wrong with people? Talk about having your priorities messed up!
He is a really lovely fellow. Some serious headbumping is going on when we spend […]

Coffee and a rescue

Friday, December 29th, 2006

This morning I went out to get my customary cup of Joe, and came back home with cat. The cat had taken up residence underneath the coffee hut where I get coffee. I was asked to help and trap it, but was hesitant to leave the trap because of the public exposure it had. […]

Hate these type of phone calls

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Received a call tonight from a good friend. Her 13 year old cat was open mouth panting, drooling and regurgitating saliva only. These can be symptoms of a seizure. She is going to watch her through the night, and if she gets worse she will take her in to the vet, […]

Foam to the Rescue

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

Went to Wally World to purchase some foam. I spent the better part of the morning making inserts for underneath the recliners. Now, the only way the cats can get up there is if they are part bat and cling upside down.
I heard a disturbing fact yesterday that I wish to pass on here. The […]

Recliner Dangers

Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

Mike and I bought each other recliner chairs for our Christmas gifts. We were both settled in these comfy chairs, kicked back in the full recline position watching movies. Unfortunately, we did not know that Prowler had jumped up underneath the foot rest and settled herself down for a nice nap!
When it came time […]

An empty Blog

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

“An empty blog is the product of a busy life.” I just made that up, based on the fact that I have been unable to post here. I don’t even know if anyone is reading this anymore. I read somewhere that a survey was taken by Google (I believe) and there are so many […]

High wind advisory

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Winds peaking at 60 mph, that is also about how fast these cats are racing around the house. With limbs breaking off of trees outside and the wind whipping through the cat tunnels, these cats are basically freaking out. It is unseasonably warm tonight as well. Really strange weather for this part of […]

Boys will no longer be boys

Monday, December 11th, 2006

McKinley, Everest, and Rocky are now neutered. Rock weighed in at a whopping 12.9 pounds, McKinley was 11.5! Everest was a modest 6 pounds.
So now, all the kittens have been fixed, though I hate that word, because it sounds like something was broken. But spaying and neutering sadly is the only way to go […]

Freedom

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

I let the two kittens out today into the house. They were so stressed out being enclosed upstairs even though they were together. Since stress can bring on pain and other health issues, I opted to let them just have their freedom. They immediately went downstairs, jumped on the couch and slept there without making […]
