Purrayers and B-day Wishes

2008-08-25T09:11:00.010-05:00

Happy 4th Birthday Emma!!

~Thanks so much furr all mai birthday wishes!~ Emma

Update: Benji had a temperature of 105.7 (it should only be about 101.5)!!! In the doc's words, "Wow, he is cookin'!". Dr. McKinney was very surprised and showed me that his thermometer only registered to 106 degrees. But, Dr. McKinney said that Benji's color was good, his lungs and gut sounded good and he was showing no obvious signs to determine the source of his fever. So, he diagnosed Benj with a fever of unknown origins and gave him a shot of Penecilin(sp?), something for his fever and some antiobiotics to give at home. He said if he's not acting better by tomorrow he may need to go back for a blood workup to make sure his kidneys and liver are functioning properly. Dr. McKinney said it could just be something viral or bacterial causing his fever. Let's hope that's all it is! Thanks so much for all the well wishes and purrs for Benji and just continue them as I purray these meds do the trick. Purrs from Benji and hugs from me, Kat! P.S. I just went downstairs after typing this update and to my surprise, Benji hopped up, followed me to the kitchen and proceeded to ask for his food! Those meds worked quick! Yeah! Hopefully he'll continue to improve! Thanks again, all of your purrayers and purrs are working!

Please be purraying, sending healing vibes and good thoughts Benji's way. He has not been feeling well since Saturday around lunch time. He hasn't eaten his crunchies since Sat. afternoon and has been resting in the above seen spot since then too. You can just look at him and tell he doesn't feel good. He did eat some Greenies treats for lunch and dinner yesterday, which is good and he has been coming down to drink. Why does everything happen on the weekend!?? Anyway, I will be calling the vet to get him in sometime today and I'll keep ya updated. Hopefully it's nothing bad and they can fix him right up. Thanx! -Emma's Kat

Purrayers and a Poem for Sprout

2008-08-11T09:23:00.006-05:00

TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark;

He could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Sad News: R.I.P. Zebby

2008-08-07T09:24:00.007-05:00

Email from Darcy (8/9/08):

Kat,
I went to your blog the day after I called you. I knew you would post the sad news. It has been good for us (Brooks and I) to read the kind words of all of the people who have commented. We both can't stop crying. I want Zebby back. I loved that guy. He woke us up in the morning. He called for me when he didn't know where I was in the house. I'd have to call back to him and literately tell him what room I was in and he'd come strolling to find me. He loved his canned food. He'd get it after we combed him every evening (to keep the mats away). He'd cry for me to come to him and give him arm pitter rubs. We both miss him dearly. It was all so sudden. We didn't get to pamper him at the end or give him a million kisses goodbye. I want him back. I loved him so much. He was so special, only with us for less than 2 years. I want him back. It will take a long while for us to stop crying (doesn't feel like we ever will). Please let everyone know how much we appreciate the special words. Thank you for being his first mom. Darcy.

I recieved a call from Darcy this morning with news that our sweet Zebby Boo had gone to the Bridge. I think he passed this past Monday and it was sudden, making it all the more difficult for Darcy. He had a vet visit last Saturday and the vet asked Darcy if she'd noticed him having difficulty breathing. She hadn't and they just assumed he was a bit stressed about being at the vet. What cat wouldn't be stressed, right? Then a friend had come to visit and said to Darcy that Zebby was having breathing troubles and so she quickly took him back to vet. He went quickly downhill and was really not doing good once she arrived at the vet. So, they put him on oxygen and did an x-ray which showed Zeb to have an enlarged heart and fluid around his lungs. The vet decided to keep him overnight (my details may not be exact, sorry if they're not Darcy). He ended up passing late that night. Zebby was a special kitty and he will be missed! You can leave Darcy your condolences here and then she can look at them when she is ready. Rest in peace sweet Zebby...we love you.

Charley's Story: My meowmie found this adorable video on YouTube. It's about a sweet kittyboy named Charley who has cerebellar hypoplasia. If you've never heard of cerebellar hypoplasia click here. Anyway, I just thought evfurryone might be interested and the video shows that kitties w/cerebellar hypoplasia deserve a chance at a happy life too!

*Special Thanks to all the purrs and purrayers for Peachy and Don. Peachy is still fighting! They are still watching her. She is not moving her legs yet, but the vet is still unsure if her back is broken and wants to continue to watch her the next few days. So keep purraying!

2008-05-02T08:29:00.006-05:00

Wow! Lookie at our babie now! This picture, Meowmie took the next day(after previous post), the 29th. Babie already has fuzzy fev-vers on his head! And he's a'gettin' fatter!

These next pictures were taken a day later (from above) on the 30th. Still getting fatter and one ah his egg brothers is missing! But we don't see no other babie. Darn!

Sammie has enjoyed watching too. She's lucky 'acause she gets to watch from outside! Meowmie is worried for the babie when it starts tah learn to fly. Unfortunately for Sammie, meowmie will be watching her like a hawk when she goes outside to potty.

These next two pictures, which are so yummy looking... These were taken just yesterday! Can u believe the little bugger can grow so quickly! And only one egg do we see left. We can't think of what happened to them. Maybe fat juicy babie sat on them? We did not see the eggs on the ground anywheres. I is sure hoping the last egg 'acides to hatch! 'Cause two snacks is better than one!

Haf a great weekend efurrybody!!

Stay tuned for more pictures. My meowmie has to stand on a stool and just aim the camera over the robin's nest 'acause she is so vertically challenged, hehee. Mr. Robin wasn't too happy about that tooday. He fussed at meowmie, but she reassured him that she wasn't going to hurt ours, I mean they's babies.

Meowmie Says No Good For Us

2008-04-15T09:28:00.006-05:00

This morning, meowmie was eating some of the kidbeans cereal called Cocoa Pebbles. The milk turned brown, I guesses 'acause the pebbles was so dirty!

I asked if I could get a taste 'acause the milk smelled so yummy, even though it haded the pebbles in it.

Meowmie saided "NO no Emma and Benji. This is not good for you and might make your tummies hurt!". I sure wouldn't want my tummy to hurts, so I listened to my meowmie likes a good girl.

Benji listened too, but he was pretty disgusted that meowmie gots ta have a taste and we didn't.

Mancat Monday

2008-04-13T17:02:00.006-05:00

Mancat Monday: Zebby

2007-12-17T10:32:00.000-05:00

An email from Darcy:

Kat,
Here a a few pics of Zeb with the kittens I am fostering. It is impossible to get a picture with all of them standing still. Then I got a shot, and I moved!!!! The kittens are perfect, so well behaved. Zeblin loves them when it is time for their canned food. I have a baby gate up so Zeb can come and go. The kittens have never climbed it (yet). It is so funny that the male, Lucky, has markings very similar to Zeb. Imagine a tiny version of Zeblin, it is hard to imagine. Lucky and Charm are getting spayed and neutered today so I will only have them a few more days. It will be sad to see them go, they have been a delight. Take care, Darcy.

Zebby in the last picture, taking a rest from a hard day looking after the kits. Now that's a mancat...one who's great with kids!

Look at what Maggy and Zoey created for me! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much Maggy & Zoey! I think I might try to get my mommy to send in another picture and maybe....MAybe one of Marley and Benji.

More Zebby!

2007-09-10T13:58:00.001-05:00

Kat,

Now this is how Zeb really looks most of the time, laying on his back. This is the cute photogenic Zeblin I know and love. He has taken over a corner of the dining room rug. If you look close you can see the layer of white fur on the carpet, it doesn't take long with him. I saw him at his pose this morning and had to take a snapshot. Halle had to get in the picture too. Take care, Darcy.

Friday Friends: Zebby Boo

2007-09-07T07:48:00.001-05:00

Email from Darcy:

Zeb is doing well, he has continued to calm down and not eat so much because of stress. He is still overweight but I don't see him chowing in the food bowls as much as I use to. And, he doesn't seem to be as nervous about things or as needy to be at my side every moment. We have problems keeping the mats under control on his back. We've got a ton of grooming tools, you name it, we got it. So, we just have to work on him ever other day or so and I try to brush him every day. He gets mad at us when we work on his mats but when we are done he goes back to his normal self. The pics I've attached aren't the best but I thought you'd enjoy an update. Zeb takes better pics when he is sleeping, he just doesn't stay still when I am with the camera.

A jewelry artist I know in Norfolk had a cat made out of wool in her studio. I noticed it and asked if the person who made it could make me a Zeblin. So, a Zeblin was made and I had her put on a necklace. It turned out wonderful. When I brought it home to take a pic of it, Cosmo had to get into the picture. I also sent you that pic. I thought it was funny.

I hope all is well with you. Take care, Darcy.

Thursday Three

2007-09-06T08:42:00.000-05:00

Ok, so mine mom couldn't think of what to call the post today...So there are 3 pictures, hence Thursday Three. She tried, right?!

This is one of mine favorite spots to lay. This is the pillow my mom uses between her knees when she's resting on the couch. Her tummy has gotten so big and heavy, it looks as though she could pop! I keep hearing her say, I'm so ready for this baby to get here. A baby! What's that?

Rest In Peace Oscar the Puppy Cat

2007-08-28T16:28:00.000-05:00

~Graphic by: China Cat and Willow

I just got off the phone with Kim and yes, Oscar has gone to the Bridge. Kim was in Little Rock with Sean for routine tests as we spoke on the phone. Oscar started last night as Sean was in bed, crying on Sean's bed, but nothing out of the ordinary was thought and Oscar was locked out of his room. This morning, Oscar again was crying and had thrown up in is water fountain. Kim hurriedly unplugged it and gave him a bowl of water as she was getting ready to take Sean to his appointment at the Children's Hospital in LR. Before she left she had seen Oscar retreat into Alan's closet which to her realization was where Oscar goes when not feeling well. She told Alan about it and he said he would come home for lunch and take Oscar to the vet. Upon coming home, Alan found Oscar's lifeless body in the hallway next to a clear puddle of vomit. He had already made his way to the Bridge. The vet thinks maybe it could've been poisoning, but is not certain. So, please pray for Kim as she hasn't had time for everything to sink in as she's at the hospital with Sean.

I love you Kim and I write this with tears as I cannot believe he's gone either. Cyber hugs, lots of them, are being sent from the heart your way! Rest in peace sweet Oscar. Your fuzz sis, Kat

If you have done a remembrance post for sweet Oscar, please add it to the Mister Linky box below so Kim can view everyone's. I thought it would be an easy way for her to read and visit them all when she is ready. I know the Weekend Reflection isn't exactly what this is, but I felt it closest to what it was for. Thanks everyone!

Email from Darcy:

I am fostering 5 kittens, 3 from one litter and 2 from another. I've had them for almost a week. Zeb has been a hoot with them. He likes to watch them, loves to get a taste of their food but will only hang out with them for a short while. You can see in the last pic how he was done (and ran off). They played with his tail a little too much. Thought you would enjoy. Darcy.

Mancat Monday

What?!? I, the sexy mancat Marley, can have a little fun too!

Family Friday

2007-05-25T06:11:00.000-05:00

Last weekend, my boybean was not feeling so good. So, I layed on the couch to comfort and take care of him.

I love my boy!

Benji, Marley and Sammie's Meme

2007-05-21T06:45:00.000-05:00

Ok, everyone knows the rules, right?! If you don't, scroll down and read under Emma's meme. I Benji am first, with his 7 random facts about my cute little self:

Mom's always pickin' my nose. She says I have a boogy nose!

I do not like my nails clipped, even though my mommie has been doing it since I was 5 weeks old. I sometimes even hiss at her. I don't know why it scares me, but it does.

I'm in love with a woofie. Sammie is my girl, hehee.

I was born into a ferral colony behind some office buildings. The scary boy caught me and I wasn't happy then, but I sure am happy I was caught now! I love my family! Lots!

I am a very affectionate boy! 'Specially to my Sammie and my mombean and boybeans and...Ok, you get the idea!

I love to paddle in my water bowl and then lick the water off my paw. Mom had to get a bigger bowl and ceramic too, so's that I couldn't dump the whole thing anymore.

I love to play with bubbles!

Ok, so I'm next. Big woop.

I love to be brushed! Although mom has a hard time acause I won't sit still it feels sooo good!

I have to have a clean potty box. If it's not clean enough...you guessed it! I will poo on the floor. Wouldn't you?!

I'm not afraid of the vacuum monster like Benji is! I'm super brave!

I was a super scrawny kitten, but know I'm a big 18.8lb. hunk of mancat. Of course, mom says I need to lose a little.

I may be big, but I'm an excellent jumper!

And I may be an independent mancat, but I am not afraid to give my mombean kisses/licks on her hand to show her that I love her so!

Mom doesn't know this, but I have an outdoor girlfriend! I go out (supervised, mostly,hehee) on my tether and my girlfriend, this cute petite grey girl, has been sneaking over to say hi. Yesterday we kissted...::blushes:: Hey, Oscar! When you comin' over!?

Oh, yeah...ok, I'm done!

Oh, goody! It's finally my turn. I'm always last, but here goes:

I have 3 boyfriends, Simba, Rusty and Deeg! My oldest boyfriend Deeg went to the Bridge a couple weeks ago. He was getting pretty old. His name was D-O-G, but we just called him Deeg and I miss him.

I was dumped on my mombean's sister's road way out in the sticks, as mom would say. My auntie Gail lives in W.VA and I traveled all the way home to VA and life is great!

I love Benji although I don't always show it. He's so smothering sometimes! Just like a boy! Right girls!?

I love my dadbean the mostest in the world!

I sometimes indulge in "kitty snacks" as my mombean calls them. She told me not to get into details, so I'll just let you figure out what "kitty snacks" are. Mommy says "yucka", but hey, I think they're yummy...Ok, fine mom, I'll stop.

I'm a good protector of my boybeans. I would never let anyone hurt them! And I'm so excited, 'cause my mombean is going to have another bean for me to protect in October!

I love to lick my dadbean's feet when he comes home from working all day! Again, mom says "yucka", but hey, they need cleaning!

Emma's Been Tagged!

2007-05-17T09:28:00.000-05:00

Cleo and a few others tagged me to tell seven random facts about me. Below are the rules to play by:

"Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!"

Here goes:

I am paper obsessed!

My white patch on my chest kinda looks like an upside-down heart when I'm sitting down.

I love Sammie too, although I front like I don't, hehee.

I have a catnip addiction and I'm not afraid to admit it!

I sometimes snack on my woofie's crunchies.

I won't sleep in my mombean's bed, but am always napping in my older boybean's top bunk bed.

I am blind in one eye, due to an injury to it when I was just a kitten.

I'll tag:

Zebby's mom had this painting done from a photo and it had just come in when she sat it against the wall. Make sure you click on the picture to bigefy it! It is Nicole, Halle and Zeb watching the squirrel outside the window. I just love it! And Darcy said Zebby layed next to the painting admiring himself for awhile, like he knew it was him and his sisters in the painting.

Tired Tuesday

2007-04-17T07:07:00.000-05:00

Sia's Gift To Marley

2007-04-10T09:45:00.000-05:00

I love my pillow (as does Emma[rolling eyes])! My mommy finally caught the purrfect picture of me taking a nap with my "Sia {hearts} Marley" pillow. Sia also sent me some dairy Temptations (yum!) and a kitty sized tennis ball toy! Everyone loves the treats and toys! I love my presents Sia, ::ahem:: and you too [blushes]! Thank you and lots of purrs to you too!

Latest email from Darcy:

Kat,
I moved a cat 'gym' I had upstairs down in the office where Zeb* and Nicole like to watch the birds. I didn't know if they would like it or not. Well, I guess this pic answers the question. And, Zeb doesn't mind pink. Isn't he the most handsome guy?

Hope you are doing well. Had to give you a Zebby update. Darcy.

*For any who aren't familiar w/Zeblin a.k.a. Zebby, he was one of my fosters and he stayed with us for almost 2 months before Darcy, a former A.R.T. volunteer, adopted him. It was so meant to be and I am so glad! For more on Zebby, visit Emma's archives, starting in July 2006.

Hehee, I look so sweet in this picture, don't I? I was being very flirty and lovey with my mombean, because she was on the 'puter and not paying enough attention to me! I was rolling around on the floor and talking to her and she finally stopped what she was doing and got out the flashy box. I love the flashy box....most of the time. Where's all my tuxie girls and guys this Tuesday? ;)

Benji was having a blast in this box from my 5 year olds b-day recently! Benji, where are you?!?

There you are Benji boo! The box was falling apart by this time, but Benji didn't care. He'd start at the opposite side of the room and make a mad dash, sliding under and in the box. Great fun in his opinion!

Thank you Robyn for all you do!
