mancat mama monday

Hello fellow cats!  Kit repurrting good news.  Mom wants me to thank all of you for your good wishes, purrs and purrayers.  She was in the hospital for a long time -- she had been getting better, but then she got an infection.  She has been home for about a week but hasn't been able to get on the computer.  Athena and I were so glad to see her when she got home, we missed her so much. Grandma took good care of us -- she even took us to the v-e-t for our checkups -- but it isn't the same.

We have been purring and purring on mom, helping her get better.  We curl up on her gently, purring away.  She says it is working!  Your purrs are working too.  Mom is so touched by all the messages of concern.  She told us we have wonderful furriends, and we agree!  Thank you so much.

where's mama?

Hi kitties -- Athena here.  I'm sorry Kit and I haven't been blogging or visiting -- mama has been in the hospital!  She is still there.  Her appendix burst and she gotted peritonitis.  She was furry sick but she is getting better.  She will probably come home in a few days.  We miss her!  We haf bisitors twice a day acause Kit needs his medicine treat.  Grandma comes at night and the pet sitter comes in the morning.  We are doing okay, but we miss mama and we miss all of you!  I heard grandma on the phone wif the v-e-t -- if mama is not home by Saturday morning, grandma will take us in for our yearly visit.  I hope to talk to you more soon!

Love,

Athena

wordy wednesday

Hi!  Here is a picture of me enjoying my ham-mick.  We haven't touched the one that mama let grandma's cat sleep on, efun though mama washed it.

A lot of kitties wanted to know what kind of shampoo Kit is so crazy about.  It is Aveeno nourish + moisturize with wheat complex and blue lotus flower.  Catnip isn't listed on the ingredients, but it must be in there!

Hi fellow cats -- Kit here.  Sorry it's been so long since we posted.  Mom is having a hard time right now -- she got really sad, missing Grandpa.  She's been lying on the couch a lot.  Athena and I are laying on her and purring.    I think it's helping.

In other mom news, she changed her shampoo and I LOVE it.  I think it has catnip in it.  I sit behind her on the couch or lay on her pillow in bed and just sniff, sniff, sniff her head.  I rub my face all over her head!  She says it's a little creepy, but I don't care.  I just can't get enough of her head!

I am furry acited!  I haf nefur been in a club before.  Go meet my beautiful new friends!

LiveStrong Day and new toys!

We want to start our blog by acknowledging LiveStrong Day.  Kit and I highly support this cause.  We lost our grandpa to brain cancer on June 2nd and we and mama miss him very much.  He was always so nice to us.  We hate cancer and wish it could be eradicated from the world.  We admire Lance Armstrong and all he has done with LiveStrong.

On a happier note, we got new toys!  The nice people at Kong sent us toys to test!  We love our green kickaroo so we were really happy to be approached by Kong.  We received no compensation for this -- just the wonderful toys!

First out of the box was an awesome snake teaser.  We have been playing with this like crazy.

Mama wants to name it Nagini.  I was the first one to get to play wif it -- Kit was sleeping.

It has great big eyes and feathers where the tongue would be.  Kit heard me playing and came to see what was going on.  He loves the snake and has been playing wif it ever since.  Sometimes he plays wif mama and sometimes he plays alone -- he tosses it up in the air and wrestles it to the ground.

Next came another kickaroo!  This one is for kittens, but mama said it was okay to play wif.  It's pink!

It has catnip in it and makes a crinkly sound.

Next we gotted stuffed mice!  These are also for kittens but we like them too.

They haf catnip too!  We tossed them around for a while.  Later I tooked a nap wif one.

And one more thing comed out of the box!  A laser toy.  I don't know if you can see it in this picture.

By this time I was kind of tired of playing and mama just waved it back and forth by my paws, and I kept trying to put my paw on it.

We are hafing a lot of fun wif our new toys!  Thanks Kong!
