Moonlight Rose, aka my Moon-kitty...

It's always fun to do... since Langley is only about 2.5 hours away, with good traffic, and is an excellent place to go if all you want to do is shop! We probably wouldn't have gone today, though, if we weren't already heading up about halfway... although my father-in-law was not able to get the suitcase he wanted at the Samsonite outlet. Apparently, it's only available in Australia (where he bought his last one), but he did manage to find another that he likes... and hopefully the old one can be repaired after he gets home.

The wait times at the border weren't bad at all. I think we timed our crossings right... meaning only about a 25 minute wait going north, and maybe 15 minutes coming south. We did notice that pretty much all the other cars crossing were from BC. I'm guessing not as many folks from the US were interested in heading across the border for the holiday weekend!

We snagged the first season of "Robson Arms" on DVD (we've never seen it, but wanted to give it a try) and the book Tales from Dog River. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find the first season of Little Mosque on the Prairie, which I was really hoping to get (I've liked what I've seen of it, even if the stereotyping can be a bit much at times). And then we hit the grocery store and stocked up on Canadian Kit Kats, All Dressed potato chips and Pirate cookies (Rackham's favorite). We also snagged some various flavors of popcorn seasoning, because apparently only Canadians like that kind of thing (seriously, why is this stuff not for sale in the US?? I was able to get BBQ and Cajun popcorn seasonings in a regular ol' grocery store in Canada).

Then, of course, there were TimBits. Mmmm... (even better, they're only about 1 Point a piece on WW).

I just found a really nice article about Craig if anyone is interested.

Craig Ferguson is now a vice-free comedian

Has anyone used an OTC cat dewormer for tapeworms?

to make it legal...zoie vs hippo

Oh, Ghost....

I did forget to mention one of my great aunts died on the third. To be honest, she was never the most friendly sort and I rarely saw her so it's like, oh, well that's sad but really not unexpected or hard hitting so...

my garden is a disaster. All that rain made ALL the weeds in the world grow. Well lucky me. But everything else looks nice too so yay.

Roy told me a) how abused he was by the neighbor b) how STARVED he was. I looked. You know ROy you look just fine and I see a full bowl of food. He then proceeded to camp out on the box for the new computer. Oh, I don't think so buddy. Then I picked him up...there was a mishap. I've been lugging Rogue around for a week and a half and he's twice Roy's size. I picked Roy up with the force needed to lift Rogue, lost control and Roy went flying and bounced off the wall. He's in the other room right now, not forgiving me.

and naturally the libary loan books I had been waiting for forever came and went. However there was something from Dr. Andrew Weill in the mail, some 'life change' to wellness thing. eh, might give it a whirl

ETA- I forgot to mention _fucking_moron decided to friend me. It must be nice to be so petty and unfulfilled that the only way it can make itself feel better is by friending people to denigrate them for having misspellings in their interests. Well it must really be a fucking moron since according to spellcheck i have no misspelled words. Oh and LJ's abuse report system isn't winning any awards from me.
ETA2 - Forgot to mention I have already BANNED this skidmark on the toilet

OK so I recently adopted a stray who had a litter of kittens. Four. (she is getting spayed when they are weaned and all the kittens are getting homes with various family so they will also be spayed) They are barely a week old and one of the kittens has developed an eye infection. I noticed it this morning and gently wiped it with a cotton ball and warm water then put him back. I went to check on him again and the eye is swollen but isn't oozing more than before. The vet offices in my town are already closed and we don't have an emergency care unit so I"m wondering if anyone knows if he'll be ok till monday when I can get him to my vet? I know eye infections can get bad quickly in kittens and I'm worried and don't want the poor little thing to be in pain. it doesn't seem to be traveling to the other eye or any of the other kittens. Any advice would be great.

Okay, so, my mother has a problem. There was a stray kitty around her house, and she'd been taking care of her to the best of her ability. (She has two indoor cats that DO NOT like the idea of another cat around.) Anyway, said cat turned up pregnant, and then suddenly was not pregnant.

And a couple of days ago..

We found the kittens! They're probably about 2-3 weeks old, and Scrapper (momma kitty) has them hidden safely behind a pile of slate tiles alongside the house.

I have plenty of pictures and a plea for help. But pics first!


This one is really, really playful.( Click here to see more! )

So here's the problem. Mom cannot afford to take them all in (or even to the vet). She got a dewormer for Mama, but we're really looking for homes for them all. And the other problem is they are too young to be separated from their mother, so I'd actually prefer to find, if nothing else, a foster home that could take them all. Our cat shelter is stuffed to the gills with abandoned cats, and while I got my Kazander kitty through a rescue group, I thought I'd ask around here first, plus see if you guys are familiar with any other trustworthy rescue/foster groups in Ohio. (My lease specifies two cats, or I'd take the little black and orange one in a heartbeat!!)

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions we'd really appreciate it. :)

I'll do another post in a bit with new Kazander/Ho pics, and Monday (once I have access to my video editing software) I'll have a video of the kittens playing AND Kazander playing with Da Bird. :)

ETA: Well, I got the kitten video uploaded. I've embedded it and dumped it behind a cut.

( They're just too damn cute! )

Today is my tiny little bundle of eviljoy's 1st-ish birthday. We don't know her exact birthday, so we guessed. It's amazing how much she's grown, and how much her personality has developed. awwww!

The day we got her:


( And now )

Here's my bestest buddy in the whole wide world! I'll put the tl;dr story under the photo. :D

This is his grumpy "you interrupted my crotchnomming, silly hooman" face.



Eddie's about 9 now. I got him when he was about 7. I had been catless for about a year after my last one died. One day, a friend told me it was time I got another one. I thought about it for about, oh, 2 seconds, and realized she was right.

I decided I wanted an older cat, since they're harder to find new homes for. I searched Craigslist for a day or so, and found a listing for Eddie. Perfect! They had Eddie, and another cat, and the other cat was sick and needed lots of attention and medical care. They felt it was unfair to keep Eddie, since they couldn't provide as much attention to him, and the sick cat was always picking on him.

I went over, met the people, met Eddie, and was instantly in love. He's a friendly booger, not shy. I was able to pet him right off.

I took him home on a trial basis, and after a few days, we agreed he'd come live with me permanently. I got him right around my birthday, so now, every year, I celebrate Eddieday on the same day.

He's the best cat. Meets me at the door when I come home from work, tries to trip me the entire length of the hallway as we're walking to my bedroom, very chatty, too.

I've been reading and enjoying the pictures for quite a while now, thought it was about time to post a pic or two of my two brats, Binni and Pixxi.  Binni is fifteen years old and Pixxi is just over two.

We were young and naive when we bought Binni from a pet store fifteen years ago.  She is the greatest cat - survived two kids hugging and squishing her.  She is in love with my husband, he is the one she watches tv with, a piece of her has to be touching him (a paw, the tip of her tail)  But I am the one she sleeps with (meaning on top of) in the mornings because my husband gets up too early.  She has alot to say in the mornings.

Pixxi was adopted two years ago after I had to put down my beloved Raz, my first cat, Binni's older "sister" .  Our local shelter  had eight kittens dropped off just before christmas and were given reindeer names.  I didn't care for "Dancer" so she became Pixxi.  She is very saucy and naughty and totally pisses off Binni.  She's alot of fun!

You will have to bear with me as I figure out  this livejournal stuff!

Hello cat loving people!

How are your cats on these hot summer days?

Mine are keeping the kitchen-bathroom route :P

BTW, to those who remember my post about almost losing my Zorzi, he's still with me! :D Big, fat, orange, happy and cute! ♥

I trimmed his claws, and told my mother how to keep him out of her room, since those were the things she was mostly annoyed with. So she didn't mention giving him away anymore. YAY!

Here are some photos!

Hey does anybody have a large-ish image of Craig dressed as the person of indeterminate gender?

Thanks :)

Why is Joruney's End taking so freaking long to download?!?!?! I don't WANNA wait 6-8 hours! WAH!

I posted pics of my new kitty a while ago and thought I'd post a couple more to show how he's growing up.

So he was napping on the couch the other day... ( Cut for pics )

And a question to all your kitty owners and lovers... how can I make my cat stop chewing my hair? Any suggestions?
