It’s Finally Furiday!!! We told ya’ dat our catputer updated to da new Windows 10 and we were tryin’ to find everything and reload all da stuff we use and so many of ya’ sed you hadn’t updated cuz of all da bad you heard ‘bout it. We wanna tell ya’ dat you shuldn’t be ‘fraid. By this time most of all those bad things have been fixed and worked out. Mommy sez da biggest thing ‘bout Windows 10 is dat it be different, and we are all creatures of habit who don’t like change. We still haven’t found everyfin’ and we’re not yet thru reloadin’ programs, but we’re likin’ it so far. And NO, Microsoft didn’t pay us to say dat. MOL
Now yous askin’ why it is dat we’re still reloadin’ stuff right? Well dat’s cuz we’re havin’ innernet trubbles. We had a pointment yesfurday fur a fix it man to come out and take a look. Da pointment time was tween da hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.; kuld they be more vague?. Anyways, mommy sat right here waitin’ all day long fur mr. ATT innernet fix it man to show up or call. Mommy relunctantly closed da door when it got dark and cold even tho he still hadn’t showed up. A kupple hours later and our pointment time over we still hadn’t heard from mr. ATT fixer. Mommy has a doctors pointment today so we can’t call and have him come out now, but trust me, mommy will be havin’ a chat wiff da peeps at ATT. And she found da cell fone nummer fur da last mr. ATT innernet fix it man dat came here so she has plans to give him a call too. Anyways, we hope this publishes and dat you all continue to bear with us. We will be by to visit as soon a we can. We seem to be able to get online fur short bursts of time so we be tryin’ to visit durin’ those windows. In da meantime, here’s a few fotos of how we be spendin’ our no innernet days.

Da weekend is finally here and Thanksgiving’s just round da corner. You know what else is comin’ up? Meez 6th Gotchaday, dat’s what. Yep dat’s right. Mommy rescued me and saved meez life 6 years ago. Yep, meez littermates and me was rescued and taken to a big ole cold room with lots of cages and loud noises. And then…da sweetest smell me had ever smelled wafted thru da air. Meez littermates and me was all gathered up in a basket and dumped out onto da cold hard floor. Me kuld see a bright light in da direction of da sweet smell so me had to go and check it out. Meez littermates was all huddled together and wouldn’t hardly move. But not me. Me waddled over and climbed da hills what was mommys legs and turned on meez purr motor. She wasn’t leavin’ there without me no matter what kind of charm this little girly had to do.
No way mommy could say no to me.
Mommy looked down at me and smiled. Her eyes filled with salty water and she spoke da most beautiful words me had ever heard, “You’re my Destiny.” Me didn’t know zactly what dat meant, but da smile on her face and warm comfurt in her voice sed it was a good thing. Me purred even louder when she spoke. And then she picked me up and sed, “Wanna come home with me little one?” Me purred so hard meez whole body shook. Of course me wanted to go home with her. Why did she think me was doin’ all of this ifin not to make her fall fur me? It worked and she told da lady she wuld take me home to live with her and Lexi. Me didn’t know how blest me was gunna be. But me has a pawsum home with a wonderful sissy and a mommy who wuld do anything fur me.
We recently won a book ‘bout Simon’s Cat from Cat Chat Cody and his mommy; dat mommy has been readn’ to us. What fun. None of us were furmiliar with this Simon or his cat, so weez really enjoyin’ da antics and drawings in this pawsum book. We don’t really do book reivews, but we will say dat ifin you need a Christmas purresent fur da cat luvver who has everything, Simon’s Cat: Off to the vet wuld make a gweat guft.
So with Thanksgiving right around da corner we wanna remind you ‘bout a few safety tips to help make da holiday fun fur you and da furry members of your household. Remember we don’t all purreciate parties, company or even wild decorations. And sum of us don’t know to stay away from da flames on candles. And those cute and sumtimes really purretty oil burners? Well MOST essential oils are poisonous to your fur kids; and your human ones too ifin ingested. Dat dusn’t mean you can’t use these things just dat they need to be supervised and/or out of reach of all da wee peeps and 4 leggeds in da house. And dat fancy feast yous cookin’ up fur da festivities might smell delicious and have us scopin’ out da kitchen, but most of it is toxic to us furries.
By now most peeps know chocolate shuld not be on da menu fur your cat, dog or other furry, and alcohol is an absolute no no. Onions, garlic and chives can cause liver and kidney purroblems specially fur kitties. See it’s not da turkey we can’t have, it’s all da stuff you put on it to titillate your taste buds dat makes it toxic fur us.
Mommy sez a good rule of thumb is: Ifin your cat kuldn’t ketch it in da wild, it purrobly shuldn’t go on da plate.
So, plain ole turkey tom lurkey? Give me sum!!! But roasted and stuffed and slathered in garlic butter turkey tom? Nope, can’t have it. Fur a list of human foods dat shuldn’t be served to us fur kids you can check out da ASPCA here.
But food and smellies awen’t da only hazards at this time of year. Those purretty poinsettias on da table or window sill awe purrlenty poison as well. Mommy sez ifin it has or grows from a bulb, it shuld be considered poisonous. But there awe so many plants and flowers dat be poisonous we kuldn’t begin to cover them all in this post. So when in doubt, check it out here. Ifin you think your fur kid has gotten into sumfin they shuldn’t have or has been poisoned you can call da ASPCA animal poison control center at: 888-426-4435. They do require a credit card so they can charge $65.00. There is also da Pet Poison Helpline at: 855-764-7661. They charge $49.00. Both awe available 24/7/365. But ifin you think your anipal has been poisoned, don’t wait. See your VET ASAP. Sum poisons can be reversed ifin caught in time.
Hope weez helped ya’ a bit. Wiff just a few purrcautions everypawdy can enjoy da holidays togevver. We’ll be covering a few more tips next week so stay tuned. As we do every week, weez joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da Pet Parade.
Da sun was shinin’ thru da clouds when we woke up this meownin’ It was a glorious sight. Weez had rain and gloomy skies fur da longest time now. Me didn’t think da sun was ever gunna shine again. But here it is. Cuz of da gloomy weather we haven’t really had much goin’ on here. Me is much calmer durin’ da storms now, so we have been purrlayin’ and workin’ on all da stress relievin’ stuffs we told you ‘bout last week. Ifin you missed our de-stressin’ post you can read it here.
Mommy’s case manager was here yesfurday to recertify her fur another year. She’s posed to have sumone who comes out and helps clean da house, run errands, and dat sort of fing. But da peeps in our area don’t wanna work cuz parently they can make more money on welfare. We live in a very small rural community and peeps from da bigger town don’t wanna drive all da way out here, or can’t afford too. There’s been a kupple times da agencies did find sumpawdy but there was purrsonality conflicts or they didn’t like cats. One girly was lergic to cats and when she showed up to work and me came out to check her out, she ran outta da house scweamin’. (shakes head) So ridiculous. Anyways, Oklahoma has finally adopted a purrogram dat wuld allow mommy to have control over who gets hired and how much money they get paid (within’ da State limits of course). Weez really ‘cited ‘bout this and hope to be able to find sumpawdy soon. You know Lexi and me can’t work da carpet monster, washin’ machine or mop. Thank Catness. MOL
