Cassie

Mom says school has started. She is gone a lot. We miss Cassie a lot. She kept us all busy getting her drinks and taking her out to the yard to play/do business/hang around in the sunshine. She used to like to have me snuggled up to her.

Wordless Wednesday

 

More of our adventures this summer

After Daddy had been home for a few weeks he went away again and was gone for a long time. Mom said that he had to have another operation on his paw. Poor Daddy. They put a HUGE hard cover on his whole leg. It went all the way up to where we sit on his legs. He went from the operation place to a place Mom called a care center. That was a long way away and Mom said we could not go to visit. We bought Daddy some new pants while he was there cause he needed special ones that would fit over that HUGE hard cover. They came in the mail and we unwrapped them and got them all ready for Mom to take to him. Anna did a personal inspection and decided they were ready to send. We sent a copy of this picture with the pants for Daddy to enjoy.

I'm back!

Wow it's been a while since I got on here to blog. I get in Mom's lap every day and tell her I have important things to say but she just says she is busy right now. Well I have finally convinced her I have some really important stuff to blog so here I am. We had a pretty exciting summer. You may already know that if you read Mom's blog. Daddy fell and broke his paw. He has had trouble walking ever since. He used a very cool chair with wheels for a while. I liked to sit in it but it is gone now. He uses a metal thing to lean on now unless he has the plastic leg cover and big shoe on.
Anyway, our summer. When Daddy fell some men came in our house to take him away. They were definitely strangers and you know how we feel about strangers. Anna usually goes in the bedroom and gets in the bed, under the covers. Well the strangers came in through OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. Yes I am shouting! That was our favorite place to sit and watch the birds and the voles in the vegetable garden. Not only that but he had to step on OUR BED to get in the room. Well, Mom was nowhere to be found, they took Daddy away on a little bed and OUR BED smelled like strangers! Anna freaked. No I am serious. She started chewing every piece of plastic she could find. Normally when something this stressful happens Mom sticks a little piece of a pill down her throat and she is really cranky for a while but then she gets all serene and spacey and sleeps a lot. Well Mom was not home. NO she wasn't. She says she was at the stabby place for people with Daddy. Poor Daddy. I wonder if the clipped his claws too. Anyway after almost a week of days Anna quit using the litter box but her breath smelled like she was snacking from it. Blech. Mom took her back to the stabby place and left her there. A few days later Daddy came home. He smelled weird, had a HUGE soft thing on his paw and was in the chair with wheels. Then a couple days later Mom brought Anna home. She looked awful, smelled worse and did not want me near her. Mom worried and fretted for days but finally Anna started to look a little more normal. They had shaved her legs (don't they know cats don't DO that!!) They also shaved her belly and had actually SEWED her belly!! Who does that to a cat! Mom said she was okay now but I really did not want to get too close yet. Anna stayed with Daddy most of the time. Here is a pic.
Notice the shaved legs and her little bare belly. She is on the bed with Daddy getting ready to nap. See how big her collar looks? She lost some weight and then hardly ate anything for the first couple of days home.
Anna had to go back to the stabby place to get the sewing taken out of her tummy and Mom says she was really nervous and freaked out the whole time. Poor Anna. I guess I shoulda been nicer to her and not hissed when she came near me eh?

Anna got down in the carrier!

Who let Anna on here? In my defense I was very brave until the strangers started touching me. I just don't like anyone but Mom or Dad touching me. The vet helped Mom trim my back claws before they started with the shots! I mean, how would you feel huh? Anyhow it is over for a long time and I would just like to forget about it. Here is a picture of me being incredibly brave and exploring.

Our trip to the vet

Anna here. Well we went to the vet and got our shots. Honestly it was not that big a deal. Mommy hugs you. You sit there and wait and in just a minute they are done with all the stabby part and you are as free as air!! Well actually they put that pink stuff up my nose after the shots but that was over pretty quick too. Then the vet petted me and looked in my ears and mouth and said lots of nice things to me. I really don't think he wants to be mean or anything.
I do have to tell you, Miss Brave herself drooled about a gallon of spit on Mommy when it got to be her turn. Sheesh, you might have thought someone was killing her with the fuss she kicked up. She howled and drooled and tried to run away after every shot. As if that was not bad enough when they gave her the pink stuff in her nose she managed to fling drool on everyone in the room even with 2 of them holding her. What a drama!! Well I better go before she catches me here on her blog. Heh Heh.

Going to the vet

We are going to the vet for our shots tomorrow. I do not like getting shots. I am trying to grow some claws today so I have a way to defend myself but you know what?? Mom has been trimming them for the past couple of days. She says she does not want me to hurt anyone! How do you like that for a bit of irony. My poor body is going to be stabbed all over and she is worried that I might get a claw into someone. Maybe I can take those clippers with me and clip that needle before the vet gets near me with it, heh, that would work. Heh heh Too bad I don't have a thumb to make the clippers work. Pfft.
Anna lost her collar today. Do ya think she is trying to get out of going for shots? It won't work. Mom has been clipping her claws too.
