Weekend guests

So Curt was out of town last week and it was just me and Mama. Ahhh. Lovely.
Then Saturday night Stefan and Sandra showed up. Yippee! More people to love me and pet me. Late Saturday night Stefan, Sandra and Mama left. When they came back they had Curt with them. So we had major family time plus.
Stefan and Sandra left yesterday and life is back to normal.
Thanks for the visit guys!

Bring back the youngling

My friend Lexi visited me over the weekend. I love when she comes to visit. She gives me treats and lots and lots of brushing (way more than Mama!!!). She spent the night on Saturday and I cuddled with her part of the night on the futon. I also was a major cuddle bug with her on the couch, too, which is evident in the above picture.
I love you Lexi! Come back and visit soon.

Family Time

I realize some of my faithful readers are waiting for the pic I promised. And I promise I will post that at some point.
But now to my intended post: Family Time.
My family consists of my mama, Curt and me. We are a good family of three. We are all happy with it. Well, Curt tries to pretend that I am a nuisance. But deep down I know he loves me.
Sometimes Curt will be in the spare room/office on the computer and Mama will go in the room to talk to him. I also run in for some Family Time.
Mama or Curt will walk into the bedroom and then the other one walks in. So I jet in there and jump on the bed (to be in the middle of all of it) for some ... Family Time.
I didn't know what Family Time was until Mama and Curt started calling it that if all of us were in the same room. And they don't seem to reference Family Time until I join them.
Are you up for some Family Time?

My first meeting with Zipper

So I was gonna post a pic of me lounging around the house on Friday but I am having some issues. Oh well. I will post it later I guess.
Anyway, Friday was a crazy day. First Curt worked from home in the morning and then left. Mama had left for yoga and then she came back a little before 9 a.m. I thought she was supposed to go to work!!!! She ended up working from home in the morning.
But the real clincher was when my grandpa and Hilda came by with their dog, Zipper. Zipper was very curious and wanted to sniff me a lot. I wasn't too sure about him. I never swiped at him. But I was tempted. I mean, what is this furry thing doing in my house?
At one point we were all in the spare room/office. Grandpa had to print something. I decided I didn't want to hang out with all of those people anymore. And I was tired of being sniffed by that hairy guy. So I walked out. When I do I hear Zipper whimpering and trying to find me. HA! He wanted to play with me and I wanted to NOT play with him.
Once they left it was much more calm around my house and I was at peace again.
Check back for my great pic.

Locked out

So yesterday Mama and Curt's landlord came over to the house. She had the sprinkler man put in new sprinklers. The timer is in the same closet as my litterbox. (You see where this story is going?)
When they left they completely closed the door to the closet. They locked me out of my own bathroom! And I don't know how to use the human toilet. I held it for as long as I could and then I just had to go ... No. 2. Which is much easier for humans to clean up than cat pee.
I heard Curt telling Mama the story that when he came home he said it smelled like sh.. in the house. He then took the trash bins out front for garbage day. When he came back in it still smelled like sh.. and then he saw the nice pile I left on the carpet near the closed closet.
So Curt cleaned it up and then Mama did a second clean up when she got home. And now all is good.

Teeth cleaning

So today I got my teeth cleaned. I wondered why my food bowl was so empty through the night. I tried telling Mama I wanted it filled up. But she didn't seem to get it.
Everything seemed fine this morning ... well, except for the fact that I didn't have any food in my bowl. And then I started to get suspicious when Mama was just sitting around. What was she waiting for? Ah, Curt. Then I was off. I knew they wanted to stuff me into that little box. I darted to the spareroom/office behind the futon. They got me out of there and I ran to the kitchen under the table. But Mama got me and they stuffed me in the carrier.
Even tho. I hate getting in that carrier the people at the vet's office are really nice to me. I had a nice cage to sleep in. Dr. Wright was super cool and she didn't even have to pull any of my teeth.
By the time Mama picked me up I was myself again and ready to go. She brought me home and gave me some food. I was pretty hungry.



You can see me here munching away. You can also see my bandage. They had to shave a spot on my leg for my IV and it was a little bloody. But I am just about back to my old self now.

Not as bad

So I had to go to the vet again yesterday. I also went last week. And last week the rumor was I was going be put under, get my teeth cleaned and possible extractions. Well, that didn't happen because something was up with my heart.
I went back to the vet yesterday for my ultrasound. I had an ultrasound and another EKG. It seems that I have a mild thickening of the heart. No one seems too concerned. But we are waiting to find out what my cardiologist has to say once they look at my findings. Mama thinks I will have to take medicine. And I hate taking medicine.
I wasn't as mad at her this time as I was last week. I hope she noticed I refused to cuddle with her for days. I mean, she takes my food away, she and Curt stuff me in that horrible little carrier and then I go to the vet and am tortured all day. Yesterday the torture was minimal and I was without food for a much smaller amount of time.
Do you think I will have to go back to the vet soon? I hope not.
