Wordy Wednesay Annoucement

A lot of you guessed it and guessed right. We are having a special Birthday Cruise for the Captain's 4th Birthday!

When: March 17th - all day
Where: We are going to be taking all of you kitties (and buns and woofies) to the Carribean aboard our pirate ship. Do not worry if there are other parties for Saint Patrick's Day that day, the Black Furrball comes equiped with special teleyporting rooms so it will be easy to party hop!
Special Prizes: Mommy and Daddy are helping us work on a game - a treasure hunt where X marks the spot where the special pirate's booty is buried! If you find it, you win the treasure chest of kitty delights! More details later!

We are so excited and we just can not wait!! We hope all of you kitties (and buns and woofies) will be there. We may even ask Aunt Susan if LK can come too. Its never too early to earn your sea legs, right?!

Tuxie Tuesday Annoucement

Hey everyone! We have a big announcement to make!! We've got some clues for you. Can you guess what we have planned??

A Map of the Carribean.....

A Pirate Kitty Flag......A Birthday Party Hat....

A Picture of The Black Furrball.....

A Picture of Captain Jack...

And a Saint Patrick's Day Greeting....

Any guesses? The big annoucement will be tommorow but we are wondering if any of our friends will guess what we have planned before then. All of the hints are there - what do you think?

PS: Tybalt, you and the girls cannot guess since you already know!!

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!!

Friends on Friday

Happy Friday everyone! This week, we have a very special Friends On Friday because it features brand new pictures of everyone's favorite little fighter, LK!!

This is his really cute picture. Mommy said it was really hard to get good pictures this time because he was so incredibly active!

Here is LK eating his stinky goodness! When Aunt Susan brought him out to visit with Mommy and Daddy, she put down this bowl of food for him. Mommy said he would stand in it to eat (and even make biscuits in it) and then would run off to play only to run back and eat some more before running off to play again!

Here is LK trying to drink some water out of the dog's bowl. Don't worry, Mommy kept a good eye on him so that he did not drown. He is such a curious little kitten. He did not want water but maybe he wanted to swim??

This is LK perched on our Daddy's arm. Mommy said even when you tried to hold him, he would squirm and squirm and squirm and want to get down to run and play!

Daddy titled this picture "Kitten's First Me'ARGH!" He may be a pirate kitten after all!

LK is finally looking and acting like a real kitten! He loves to run around at full speed and wants to explore everything. Aunt Susan just went back on a five day shift at the V-E-T ER, but Mommy thinks that next time Aunt Susan is off, they may take video of LK to post on our bloggie (if they can figure out how to do so). Aunt Susan is very pleased with his progress and Mommy says that yes, they are almost completely sure he is going to make it!! He will live with Aunt Susan and Uncle Dave for a few more weeks before he is ready to go to a forever home. Mommy and Daddy are still unsure if we will be adopting the little guy because he is so small and we are so big (Captain Jack alone weighs 15 pds) and have the woofies, but she says they have not ruled it out.

We think we can now officially add LK to this list of "Kitties the Cat Blogosphere Has Saved!" LK and all of us are thankful to all of you for your purrs and purrayers and good wishes. Aunt Susan was totally overwhelmed by all of the attention LK got. As an ER V-E-T she sees some pretty awful things, but we think this may have made her smile lots. Thanks again everyone! We've said it before, and we will say it again, Cat (and Buns and Woofies and Human) Bloggers are the Best!!!

Wonderful Wednesday

Hey kitties, Dante here! Today we are going to do Wonderful Wednesday because of something that arrived at our house the other day....
What do you guys think Captain Jack is looking at? Whatever it is, its gotta be good because he is really looking in that box!

Oh WOW! Look at all of those treats! There are two bags of Temptations and Whisker Lickins and Greenies and LOOK! The Captain is still digging in the box! Could there be more???

Look at that!! Treats and toys - feather butt mousies and balls and everything! And look at the box, you can see who sent this bounty to us - Spirit and Ezra!! This must be our prize package for winning their contest that they had the other week (yay for Mommy knowing her movies!).

Oh which should I play with first? The Captain already took off with a mousie so I can have my pick of what's left. Oh they all look so good! Maybe we can play with all of them at once!

Yes, this is what we looked like about an hour after we opened our mail. Eating treats and playing with feather butt mousies sure is exhausting but oh so worth it! Thank you so much Spirit and Ezra! We loved our prizes! Mommy said to say that she let us each have one toy and then put the rest in the box only to discover the Cpatain raiding the box a few minutes later. He managed to sneak out about 4 more toys before she caught him. Sorry Mommy, but we's pirate kitties - what do you expect?!

LK Update

Mommy is home sick with a migraine but we wanted to quickly give you an LK update from Aunt Susan. She emailed Mommy and said:

"LK is doing much better. I have him off formula and on canned kitten food, and he is eating well. Still has diarrhea, but improved. I've weighed him twice while I was on shift, and he is steadily gaining weight. He is starting to play and act like a little kitten instead of a pitiful little critter. He's also learning to drink water."

This is very good news!! We know LK is loving the stinky goodness and we are so proud that he is big enough and strong enough to come off of the kitten milk! Mommy and Daddy are going to go and visit him Wednesday or Thursday so we will get more pictures for everyone!

YAY LK! We cat bloggers are so very proud of you! Keep it up kitten!!

Mancat Monday

There is nothing better for a mancat than meditating in the sun. A real mancat always knows that meditation and relaxation in a sunbeam is of vital importance to his health.

It keeps him from wanting to whap his brother when he hears him sneaking up behind...

Because he wants to try to hog your sunbeam and meditation area too!

Ah, sunbeams are magic. I was so content that I did not attack the Captain and I even considered sharing my sunbeam! Aren't I a wonderful mancat?! I think I deserve lots of treats and nummies for being such a good brother to the Captain this weekend. And yes, it was as beautiful and warm as it looks - 70 degrees and tons of sun. We spent most of the day sunning ourselves on the porch. HEAVEN! My lovely Pearl, would you care to teleyport over and share some sunbeams with me?

In other news, we have an LK update!!!

Daddy talked to Uncle Dave and LK is stilll improving. He is eating well and growing and is actually beginning to eat things other than just kitten milk! He has lapped at some stinky goodness! Woohoo! Since Aunt Susan is between shifts again, Mommy hopes to be able to go and visit LK at some point this week so she can get some new pictures for everyone and so that she can see how much he has grown. Thanks again to everyone who is purring and purraying for him. It means a lot and we are sure it is what is helping LK to get so strong so fast!!
