Tabby Tuesday

Heya kitties (and woofies and buns and beans). It's Tuesday again and this week Tuesday means it's Tabby Tuesday and that means that I, Dante Barbossa, took over the bloggie to give you an update. As you may remember from last week, I was suffering from the sniffles and coughs due to a nasty cold....
Well kitties, I did get better by sleeping and relaxing a lot and even taking med-a-shun so I thought I was cured. I felt so much better that I ran around with Fagin and attacked things. Well, last night Mommy came home and AH-CHOOOOOOOO! Yep, my cold is back. Mommy sighed and loved on me and told me I needed more med-a-shun. The only problem was Daddy was off night hunting and cooking FOODs and would not be home until almost midnight! So Mommy was brave and she pilled me herself without any help. And I was a very good mancat and let her pill me without fighting at all!!

After that I went to sleep because my cold tablets make me very tired. I dreamed of the lovely Pearl and only got up when Daddy came home about 11pm because he smelled like cheezburgers. Sadly he did not bring us anything home (grrrrr, bad Daddy) but it was nice to get Daddy cuddles any way. I hope that I feel better soon. I am tired of sneezing and snorting and coughing and sniffling and such. Have a good Tuesday every kitty!!

Thursday Thirteen

Hi kitties, Dante here *AHHH-CHOOO.* In honor of my cold *sniff, sniff* I am going to do this week's Thursday Thirteen. I am going to call it *sniff*

Dante's 13 Good Things About Having a Cold!!

1. You get checked on a lot so you get a lot of attention.
2. Mommy gives you snuggles and asks if you are feeling better.
3. Daddy pets you lots and even snorkels your tummy.
4. You can sneeze on the dogs and hope to contaminate them with your cold germs.
5. You get extra treats when you sneeze and look pitiful at your beans.
6. You can take lots of extra naps.
7. You can lay claim to the warm sleep spots.
8. You do not have to play with the kitten if you do not want to.
9. You can snorkel at the dogs and hope to contaminate them with your cold germs.
10. Cold med-a-shun means sleepy Dante means lots more naps.
11. Since your are sick, your beans will carry you everywhere so you do not have to walk unless you want to.
12. The lovely Pearl comes and brings you chick-hen soup and nip tea.
13. The lovely Pearl comes and visits you and snuggles with you until you feel better.

Sneezing on Wednesday

We were going to do a Santa Paws Wordless Wednesday post today but instead we have a sick kitty that Mommy had to attend to. Sadly, Dante's AHH-CHOOOs are back and the poor ginger boy is sneezing and snuffling!!

When Mommy got home from day hunting last night she was giving us some of our special nom nom nom treats (aka Pounce) and Dante sneezed right at her! AAHHH-CHOOOO!!! And then he snuffled and snorted too. The next thing he knew Mommy was calling for Daddy to "come and hold Dante so I can pill him, please." Now Dante is a bit strange in that as long as he is in Daddy's arms, he will pretty much let you do anything, including shoving a nasty cold tablet down his throat! Ick!! Dante is WEIRD!!

After that, Dante spent most of the evening looking happily sleepy and drugged from the AHH-CHOOOO med-a-shun. Mommy thinks he will be better soon but Fagin is sad because Dante is just not up to playing with him. Please send good thoughts that Dante gets better soon, that Fagin does not go insane (more insane) from not having anyone to play with and no way to get the kitten energy out, and that Captain Jack does not maim Fagin when he tries to get the Captain to play by jumping on him and biting him. It's going to be very interesting around the Black Furrball until the First Mate is in tip top shape again, that is for sure!!!

Mancat Monday

Every good Mancat knows what to do when they spend the weekend not feeling well with a cold: hide in a laundry basket...

and sleep all weekend in the bedroom with Mommy who has the cold too!

Yep, I spent the weekend sneezing and snuffling with a cold. I started feeling bad Thursday and when Aunt Susan called Friday night to talk to Mommy I heard horrible words come out of Mommy's mouth: "Since I have you on the phone, Dante seems to have a cold. Is there anything I can give him?" I knew I was in trouble when Mommy flew out the door at 9pm and came back soon with a bag from the local drug store saying "Come here Dante. Aunt Susan says this will make you feel better!" That was followed by Daddy grabbing me and Mommy shoving half a tablet down my throat. They did this every 12 hours for the whole weekend! But I got my revenge. Mommy woke up with my cold on Saturday so she had to take the same medicine she gave me! Hahahahahaha! Yep, all good Mancats know how to get revenge too!!
