Feed me Moon?<br /> Or Easter Moon?<br /><br />Last night I took a picture of the full moon outside my kitchen window. On my calender it's called the Seed Moon. There is usually a full moon just before Easter. Notice the maple tree has not leafed out yet. I think if I looked very closely I might see buds.<br /><br />For the kitties I call it the "Feed me moon". I stand right at the counter next to that window when I feed them and that what I said last night. Yes, I can be rather odd. :)<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Billie</span> is being so cute right now. All late morning and even right now, she is napping next to the little bunny I bought last year. She and I are worried about dear <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Miss Sweet Praline,</span> who is getting a bump removed from her nose today. We are purring she makes a speedy recovery and is home to cuddle with her mommy tonight.<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />We are also holding <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">Mis</span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">ses Peach's </span>family in our thoughts. Lapdaddy's brother has passed away and we feel sad for them. We understand how difficult it is to have beloved family members pass on. It leaves a hole in the heart that takes a while to heal over.<br /><br />This weekend was another blah, do nothing one. I did some paper doll crafting; Alice and a faerie. Other than that, some house work and napping.<br />I'm still down, still tired. <br />Oh, our dishwasher finally croaked. And it did not smell good when it did. I actually smelled the motor burning out last night. For a person with a phobia of the house catching fire this was not a good thing! My husband checked it out and determined that it wasn't going to go up in flames. I guess we know where our tax refund is going!<br /><br />So another week... I will get around to visiting and I hope everyone has a Happy Easter Week! <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Chocolate bunny's for everyone! And Nip Bunny's for the kitties of course!</span><br /></span></span>L.

I did some crafting and then fell asleep. I have been so tired! I feel like a cat. Get up, eat a little, wash up, go sleep.<br /><br />My husband is in the "planning stages" of working on things around the house. Um, okay... I know how this goes. He refuses to do any more woodwork stripping and staining thanks to <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Toeshee</span>. He has made our doorways his personal scratching posts. He even manages to get his girth all the way up the door frame!<br /><br />Other than house in disrepair issues and being worn out, there's not much going on. The kitties are doing well. Though <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Billie</span> is being skittish and a little grumpy. She's eating really well and likes to be pet and cuddled, but when I try to clean her eyes or get a knot out she gets really irritable. Maybe, I can bribe her with some treats.<br /><br />I will try to get some blog visiting in today and tomorrow.<br />Happy Thursday!<br /></span></span>L.

Thank you for being my friends!<br /><br />Momma Lorianna: I will try to make time to do some visiting today. I could not get a moment's peace yesterday! Aren't those cakes cool? I wish I could make cakes like that. I can bake cakes fairly well, but decorating is not my strong point.<br />I hope you all have a wonderful day.

It's <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Miss Billie</span> recovering from a Nip Party I had with <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Toeshee</span> last night.<br />Momma gave it to us before she went to bed and it totally chilled us out!<br /><br />So, how is efurryone? Momma<span style="font-style: italic;"> lit candles</span> all weekend for kitties and peoples.<br />She woke up at 3:30 this morning with a fever and lots of hurty joints. Another RA flare. She thinks it's because she hasn't been taking both shots of medicines due to some money problems. Her doctor told her she must take both to start feeling better. She finally got the refill for the one that makes her queasy, so this week she gets two pokes. Hopefully she will start feeling better after that settles in.<br /><br />We have had a visitor come and go around our house. Momma calls him<span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> Little</span> <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Black Cat</span>. He would not let her come near him until a couple of nights ago. It was raining and he was on the porch with <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Sylvester</span>. Momma took food out for both of them, thinking <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">LBC</span> would just run away, but hoping he would eat.<br />He didn't run away! He meowed very sadly and broke Momma's heart. His eye was runny and half closed. While Sylvester happily ate, Momma nudged the plate over to LBC and he started eating right in front of her.<br />She went back in and got him some more food.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">He has not come back since. Momma feels very sad for him.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Why, oh why do humans not get their kitties fixed?!</span> We do not understand it.<br />We hope <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">LBC</span> knows that he is not alone in this world and that someone cares. Momma will have a gentle hand, loving words and good food waiting for him if he comes back. And us kitties, safe in our house, will not be jealous.<br /><br />We hope you all have a week filled with Love. <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Toeshee's</span> 2nd birthday is Thursday, so Momma will try to post a party here.

(Thank You Helena, you are wonderful!)</span><br />In this box was bubble wrap. Big bubbles,<span style="font-size:130%;"> big bang</span> when popped. Especially at <span style="font-style: italic;">3:00 am! </span><br /><br />I was in the middle of somewhat precarious sleep to begin with. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket</span> was on my legs as usual and <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Miss Billie</span> was on my left side. Daddyman was snoring blissfully and the <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">boy kitties</span> were I think, somewhere upstairs. Suddenly I woke up to this loud <span style="font-style: italic;">Pop! Pop! Pop!</span><br />Scared the life out of me! See, I think a little background is needed to explain why I thought it was something very scary.<br /><br />A couple of summers ago we had a very rainy couple of weeks. The house being old, has old wiring and my husband had not been able to get to all of it. (<span style="font-style: italic;">He's very good at wiring anything electrical.</span>) It seems that some of the wiring didn't like the damp air. (this is my husband's reasoning for why it happened out of the blue) <br />The light switch in our dining room sparked. I mean <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">flames </span>shot out of it! And it made a loud POP noise as it did. I was absolutely terrified and even though power in the house didn't go out I turned off anything that was on. The sparking barely lasted a few seconds and then all was eerily calm. I called my husband at work. <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">"Flames shot out of the dining room wall!"</span><br />He rushed home to find a freaked out wife and daughter. The <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">cats</span> were not fazed a bit of course even though I got out the PTU's ready to carry them out of <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;">our money pit, death trap house</span>.</span><br />He turned off the breaker and got all the tools and wiring needed to do what needed to be done. A half hour later all was fixed. I saw the scorch mark on the plaster in the wall which was pretty scary. The metal box the switch is set into prevented it from catching fire.<br /><br />So, being sleepy, with that memory in the back of my mind, I awoke to the popping noise terrified that it was happening again, this time in the family room.<br />No. It was <span style="font-style: italic;">bubble wrap</span>. Being popped by my daughter and her boyfriend while they ate Ramen noodle soup and watched <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">X Files</span>.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">GRRR!</span><br />Not only did it frighten me and my husband, the cats were really upset. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket</span> flew off the bed. I think poor <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Billie</span> halfway fell off the bed as she tried to jump off. And the <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">two boys</span> were no where to be found.<br /><br />The teenagers sheepishly apologized, though I got the feeling they thought I had lost my mind. I didn't express anger, just complete fear and sleepy confusion. Husband just grumbled and fell back to sleep. (Of course.)<br /><br />Anyway, that was my night. I'm tired. The kitties are napping. The bubble wrap is still here, but only because <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Cody</span> seems to like the padding in the box as you can see from the picture. That cat has never met a box that he hasn't tried to crawl in and nap in.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I hope nothing goes bump or pop in the night for any of you!</span><br /><br /></span></span>L.

They are more rowdy than the girls and eat more often too. Boys will be boys right? :)<br /><br />I am hoping to get a cordless vacuum this weekend. It will make cleanup so much easier for me. Yesterday I swept the stairs, the hallway and the litterbox area. It was such a pain, literally and figuratively. The cat hair on the steps was like tumbleweeds!<br /><br />I have been taking a different pain reliever called Tramadol. I take it with an acid reducer and an anti nausea drug. It is just okay as far as pain relief. It makes me a bit spacy, which I guess helps one not focus on the pain as much. But I don't think there is anything thing out there that can take away this kind of joint pain. It's just a matter of learning to live and function despite it. Most days, I think that's possible. I'm still waiting for that magic wand to take away the Sads and the pain.<br /><br />I have been doing some crafting again, which is a really nice way to unwind. I have been making altered tags and envelopes for Easter. Lots of rubber stamping, glitter, ribbons, and coloring.<br />If anyone would like one, just let me know! I have six done so far and can usually manage about two a day. And Easter isn't even here until early next month! You will be doing me a favor, because me hands need the physical therapy and my mind needs something happy to focus on.<br />e-mail me at lfeecat@jasnetworks.net if you would like a card.

It's been a wee bit since I had a chance to blog!<br />As you can see, I take breaks from napping occasionally to get in some Yoga practice. Momma bought the mat for herself, but she has been having a hard time doing a lot of the poses. Usually she just ends up in "Child's Pose" and hopes she can get up from it!<br /><br />So one morning while we were watching her she decided that we would probably have more fun on the mat than she was. She sprinkled <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">NIP</span> on it and put some toys rolled in <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">more NIP</span> on top of that!<br /><br />Talk about a party! I am nearly a 15 year old ladycat and I had a blast! So did <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Toeshee</span>. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Cody</span> was more than happy to eat some NIP and go sleep. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket</span> sat in a corner and glared at us. She came out later to play after we left.<br /><br />The mat feels cool and springy under my paws and I can dig my claws in without hurting it. Momma would love to keep it rolled out for us all the time, but it takes up too much room in the family room and the Daddyman got cranky about it.<br /><br />Momma would like some <span style="font-style: italic;">cleaning </span>advice. She is having difficulty sweeping up our<span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"> litter</span>. Not all of it will sweep up. She thinks it's the old broom she's using and is wondering if any of you have a favorite brand of broom or a really good way to get all the litter off the floor. She saw a cool one in the store that said it was for pet clean up, but it probably was for fur.<br /><br />We hope you all have a really great weekend! <br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Cuddles and Purrs~</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Miss Billie~</span><br /></span></span>L.

Momma discussing my personal potty problems! And what that VET did to me? Oh, unspeakable! <br />I am feeling much better. I'm crabby, but just normal crabby for me, not all growly and hiding.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Toeshee</span> tried to act as if he wanted to be Alpha cat after I came home from the VET. He tried to jump me and start a fight. The nerve! Momma had to squirt him with the bad cat water bottle to get him to stop.<br /><br />The next day when I felt much better, <span style="font-style: italic;">I let him have it!</span> I hissed and swatted and him until he was cowering and behaving like the big baby that he is. I rule with an iron paw around here and Toeshee needed to remember that!<br /><br />Momma worried herself into another flare up in her joints. She thought that the Enbrel was starting to help a little, but when she gets worried or upset and the weather gets bad she gets extra hurty. Right now she's worried about me getting tummy troubles again and not keeping up with visiting bloggie friends. She still has the big sads, but she is just accepting it, hoping it will ebb away like the tides. I think she just needs a long winter's nap with <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">me</span> and <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Billie</span> until the Robins return.<br /><br />Thanks to you all who sent me well wishes. I think your good thoughts helped me. I might try the pumpkin, but I do not like people food, so I will probably find it unsuitable.<br /><br />Have a Happy week and remember to be a little bit Naughty Kitties!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">~Cricket</span><br /></span></span>L.

She has been having difficulty passing bowl movements and threw up her breakfast yesterday. She did not eat at all today. The Vet will check for any blockages or a foreign object, but she isn't usually one to eat strange things, so I don't know...<br /><br />My poor baby! She was so lethargic this morning and last night, while she did sleep on my legs as usual, every time I moved she growled at me. I know she must be really uncomfortable.<br /><br />Oh! Just now the Vet called! <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Cricket</span> had lots of hard poo impacted in her colon! They gave her an enema and she passed some. They want to keep her until early this evening and she may need another enema. Poor Naughty Noodle! <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">:(</span> The Vet recommended canned pumpkin to perhaps keep her regular. I don't know if she'll eat that. I'm thinking less crunchies on the side of her wet food. No wonder she was so cranky! How miserable she must have been.<br />What is it with my kitties and their digestive tracts? First <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Cody</span> with his massive hair balls and now Cricket with her poo.

The only true, wonderful, purely sweet things seems to be my kitties and their antics and love.<br /><br />My husband's father passed away a couple of weeks ago. It came much faster than anyone expected. The cancer was just beginning to cause him pain, but perhaps mercy visited, as it was his heart that gave out in his sleep.<br /><br />He had been afraid of suffering and wasting away as his brother had and he missed his beloved sister Grace, who had gone before, just a month ago.<br />My husband understandably took it hard for a bit, but he is moving on fairly well. He said losing his Mum when he was 16 was much worse.<br /><br />Even before dad passed I had been struggling with depression. Every day had been harder to get through. I can't seem to pinpoint one thing over the other that has me so emotionally incapacitated. I stay in my pj's most days, only pulling on jeans and a sweatshirt to get some groceries. My husband sometimes drags me out for coffee, but I can't wait to get back home and nap. I have not been able to find a good pain reliever yet, so rest and hot baths and showers are a refuge.<br /><br />I have three books started and I can't finish any of them. I re read the same paragraphs over and over before tossing them aside. I stare at the tv and not really notice what I'm watching. It's just noise to fill the silence.<br /><br />I haven't turned on my computer for nearly a month. I've been afraid to blog. What could I say? This. All I have right now is how sad I am. Yay, what fun for you to read!<br /><br />Now, my fingers hurt again and for what? A sad blog entry...<br /><br />I know I need to snap out of this. My kitties are all happy and healthy right now and they should be the stars of this blog. Perhaps after some time I will do an overhaul of the blog.<br /><br />Thank you ALL for being so kind! Karla told me that my friends have been worried and I was very surprised. She said that Spring will come. I just have to hold on to that.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket </span>is now, quite full of herself after saving me. She wants a nurses cap<br />a paycheck and two weeks paid vacation. We settled on unlimited Fancy Feast in her favourite fishy flavors.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">Billie</span> and <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Cody</span> are doing really well. Billie has taken to sleeping on my bed a lot, so I bring her food up there. Today, she actually came downstairs and is napping on the sofa. Maybe she knows I'm finally blogging.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Toeshee</span> is his usual naughty, sweet little clown self. He loves to chase the cursor on my husbands laptop. Look at his funny, cute little face.<br /><br />I hope you all aren't mad at me, but I understand if you are. I wish and hope I can swim to the surface of this deep blue pool I have fallen in.<br /><br />Hugs~<br /></span></span>L.

For most of this month I have been in a really bad RA flare up. The pain is constant. I went to my doctor last week and had x-rays to see how much joint damage has been done. The Methotrexate I have been on is just not working any more. I will be starting Enbrel along with a half dose of Methotrexate now. It's an injection once a week too.<br />My doctor called in a prescription for Vicoden for me because my pain was so unmanageable. Vicoden contains an opiate, which I discovered the hard way, I am allergic to.<br /><br />I took a dose last Thursday so I could feel well enough to make dinner. At first I just felt a bit light headed, which was strange, but normal for that drug. I went upstairs just to lie down for a bit. By the time I reached my room I felt very, very sick to my stomach and the dizziness was overwhelming. I pretty much crashed on the bed and saw black.<br /><br />Then I felt a rough tongue licking my hand. I opened my eyes to see <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket</span> staring at me. I closed my eyes as another wave of nausea and dizziness overcame me and the world went black again. But, once again I was roused by a persistantly rough tongue. I opened my eyes and she stopped licking and stared with what looked like concern into my eyes. Every time I closed my eyes <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket</span> would begin licking my hand and when I opened them she would stop and stare with those big <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">green</span> eyes searching my face. Finally, I was able to keep my eyes open and made myself sit up. I practically crawled off the bed and down the steps and <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket </span>followed me as if making sure I made it down. Then I was sick and barfing for most of the evening. If I had passed out I could have thrown up and well... choked on it. Plus my breathing had slowed down a bit as I hit the bed. She kept me awake.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket saved me, I'm sure of it. She truly is a wonderful nurse kitty!</span><br /><br />Now, I must deal with my pain with over the counter pain meds and hot baths and rest. I hope the Enbrel can start kicking the RA monster's butt soon. Until then, I am learning to take it easier on myself. No big dinners for the family every night, no obsessing over house cleaning.<br /><br />My hands are throbbing and stiff and my left hip especially is so painfull. I'm tired of feeling so cruddy, but I'm so thankful for my kitties. Having pets really does make one feel better. They are funny, naughty, sweet, purring bundles of love. Never underestimate how much they are tuned into us. <br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Yes, this gives <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket </span>a free pass to basically get away with anything. :) Even my husband had to admit that she probably was concerned in her own weird way.</span><br /><br />My daughter has made a full recovery and is now going to her college classes, complaining all the way. That's how I know she feels better. She hates adhering to a schedule. ;)<br /><br />My husband's dad has now gone into Hospice. He is not doing well. He has fallen twice this past week and his heart is in "A Fib". We jump whenever the phone rings now, wondering if it's bad news about him.<br /><br />I am trying to downplay how hurty I am so my husband doesn't feel any more stress. All in all, it's been a rough month. A long, cold month. <br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">I miss visiting my bloggie friends so much! I haven't forgotten anybody okay?</span><br /><br />My kitties and I send you love and purrs. I will try to visit when I get some free moments. I'm going to rest my hands for a bit now.<br /><br />~Hugs~<br /></span></span>L.

I'm so sorry we haven't been visiting this week. It's been a rough one. We have been hit with quite a nasty snowstorm here. Frigid temps and blowing snow. The<span style="font-size:130%;"> stupid</span> man who owns Sylvester did not let him in! My husband actually put him in our PTU and carried him over there.<br />We gave them the chance to do the right thing and it didn't last long.<br />The next bitter cold morning he was out again and on our front porch.<br />I brought him in and my husband said he could stay in our enclosed back porch for a while. It's still really cold back there though and Sylvester got a bit wild and knocked shelves over and just generally cried the whole time.<br /><br />My husband had to go wait for his dad's surgery to be completed at the hospital, so it was just me, my daughter, her boyfriend and <span style="font-style: italic;">five</span> high strung cats. When my husband came home he was really sad and upset.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">His dad has two kinds of cancer in his bladder. One is evil and spreading. His doctor said he has six months to a year left.</span><br />I also didn't have a chance to talk about his beloved <span style="font-style: italic;">Aunt Grace</span>, (his dad's sister) who passed away last Saturday. My husband and I loved her because she was always so sweet and kind to everyone. She was 94 years old.<br /><br />There's just so much going on, it's hard to put it all down. (sigh...)<br /><br />Anyway, we can not keep Sylvester. My husband said absolutely not. He went back outside yesterday and seemed to be heading back to his house. He couldn't wait to get out of here, after crying and spraying and knocking things over. He's fixed, so the spraying was a surprise. I kept looking for him all evening and he never came back. Then this morning I saw him on the front porch! I went to get him some food, hoping to coax him back into the house so I could put him on the back porch again. (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment and my husband is at work) When I returned, Sylvester was gone. <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">:(</span><br /><br />I am just so sad and frustrated with everything right now. Why do people have to get cancer? Why can't people care for their pets? What is wrong with them!? <br /><br />Sorry about the rant there... Anyway, I still have to get my cards to the post office. We have not done any Christmas shopping yet and I just want to stay in my pj's and visit blogs. But, I need to get dressed and try to shovel and maybe chase after a cat who doesn't understand that I just want to help him.<br />How do we get through to his owners? What should I do?<br />Now, I'm crying again...<br /><br />Okay, things will get better. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket</span> says they must and she is the Queen of everything. So I will go give her and my other kitties some nom noms, take a shower and get on with my day. I will try really hard to start visiting too.<br />Wish us luck.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cricket, here; Don't worry, I will look after her. I won't even complain if she lets that Sylvester in again. He just better not eat all my Fancy Feast! I will try not to be very naughty either. (boy, that will be tough!)</span><br /></span></span>L.

It's <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Billie</span> here to show you Momma's beloved fireplace mantle and the birdies on our tree. The <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">birdies</span> are not real. I can tell because they have glitter on them and they are not singing.<br /><br />Us kitties have our own stocking. I hope we get some yummy treats!<br />Momma hung the pretty Artists Trading Cards that <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">Mommy Karla</span> sent. The one with the four days of Christmas kitties is the one Mommy Karla made.<br /><br />You can see a picture of our<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"> Beloved Tookie</span> in the heart shaped frame. Momma still cries for her. I am the only kitty who knows this, so don't tell anyone. I miss her too, as she was my older sister.<br /><br />It stays very dimly lit in our living room in the winter even if the daytime. Momma says to pretend it is <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">twilight in the Summer time.</span><br /><br />It is going to storm</span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> here soon. Momma wants to get us enough food and some human food so we do not run out in case it gets <span style="font-style: italic;">Really Bad</span>. I am so glad that I am a <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">pampered Persian Princess</span> and do not have to worry about going out in an icy blizzard.<br /><br />We hope you all stay snuggly. Please pray for those animals that do not have homes. Momma <span style="font-style: italic;">hates</span> winter because of all the homeless furbabies that have no homes to turn to. This makes her cry too. I will have to sit by her and purr for her tonight to help her not feel so sad.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Sending Love and Purrs,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">~Miss Billie~</span><br /></span></span>L.

It's been pretty quiet here with random bouts of naughtiness. Oh! I just looked out the window. Snow! Ick! I am not a fan of winter. The sun is out, so maybe it won't last.<br /><br />We are feeling a bit low this season. My husband's dad has found out he has bladder cancer. He is very tough though and has pulled through both lung and colon cancer a few years ago. <br />Money is a wee bit tight now. My daughter's tuition bill has arrived and it will take a huge bite out of our bank account. Christmas should be interesting...<br /><br />But, we must take each day as at it comes and try to enjoy the little things. That's why I'm so grateful for my kitties. They certainly can take one's mind off troubles with their cuteness.<br />The other night my husband picked up <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Toeshee</span> and held him like a baby and Toeshee fell asleep in his arms! It was so precious; <span style="font-size:130%;">a twenty pound furry baby! :)</span> My husband said, "I need to go to bed, but I don't want to put him down!"<br /><br />Today I am keeping <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">Misses Peach</span> in my thoughts as she is not feeling well.<br />I am also keeping <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Sweet Praline's Mommy Paula </span>in my thoughts because she has shoulder surgery tomorrow. Lots of Love and Purrs to them!<br /><br />It's December all ready... My countdown to Spring starts now!<br /><br />Have a happy rest of the week!<br /></span></span>L.

Momma loves it when they do that.<br /><br />Cricket is trying to be her usual glamour puss self. She has such a Diva complex! Again, Momma thinks this is adorable too and calls her Queen! (snort! Whatever!)<br /><br />Me? I'm Mr. Easy Going. I try to be well mannered and thankful. I'm 15 years old, so every day is pretty good for me as long as I get stinky goodness and baby talk and pets from Momma.<br /><br />Momma made herself very busy today. She made a pumpkin pie and hopes to make those little cakes tomorrow. If you want the recipes just ask and she will post them. Us kitties just want the <span style="font-size:130%;">turkey!</span><br /><br />Her hips are a little bit hurty, so she's going to take some medicine and start doing some Blog Hopping so we can say hi to you all.<br />If we don't get to you, just know that <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">we totally Love You All!</span><br /> Okay?<br /><br />Have a really great rest of the week and if you celebrate turkey day make sure you kitties and woofies get your fair share of bird!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Hugs~</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Cody ~ </span><br /></span></span>L.
