Maggie, Molly and Lucy Too

Vacation

2007-06-02T23:27:00.001-04:00

Mommy and daddy went on something called a vacation and left us with our friend John. He came to the house to check on us (Maggie and Molly), but Lucy had to go to his house to sleep. Mommy said it is because we are big girls now and can use the litter box. I think it is because Lucy is just a dumb dog and still pees on the floor. Either way we had fun because we got to babysit the Bird. See how attentive we were. VACATION is fun!

Just checking in

2007-04-30T09:46:00.000-04:00

Sorry we haven't posted in a long time Mommy has a new job, and she stays really busy but we haven't forgot all our furry friends and we hope you haven't forgot us!

Oh Yes

Shower with a friend

Maggie and I think Lucy is nuts. She got in that shower on purpose!

Animal Talk

2007-02-15T07:31:00.000-05:00

Molly: Uhhh Ohhh, Lucy peed on the floor
Maggie: Quick, lets knock over mom's new fake tree that she just bought yesterday and hide it.
Lucy: It's in a heavy flower pot. I better help too, after all I'm the one who peed.

Me: WHAT IN THE *#&@!% DID YOU All DO?

Maggie, Molly and Lucy: (looking innocent) Gee we don't know mom it must have been the bird
Yea the bird did it..

Baby it's cold out there

2007-02-07T00:08:00.000-05:00

Me and Molly think our dog Lucy is nuts. She went swimming in the river. It is cold outside but she still wanted to get in the water. I don't like the water. Even when mom squirts me with the water bottle for jumpin on the table I run. Dogs are weird.

Lucy's Gotha Story

2006-11-12T00:33:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone. It seems Maggie and Molly have already introduced you to the new member of our family LUCY.
Lucy is a 10 month old pug. She was born on New Years Eve in 1005 She came to live with us on Oct. 19th. Some of you might remember from reading the stories of how Maggie and Molly came to me, that I work in a local pet store. It can be lots of fun, but sometimes it can be dangerous. Especially when people come in with pets that need a home. Several weeks ago that is exactly what happened. I had customer come in buying dog supplies and we started talking. She told me she had three pugs. Two older ones and a new one that she had just adopted out of the newspaper. Awww I said. My husband and I are talking about maybe getting a Pug next spring (key word here was NEXT spring) We can't afford one right now. I have to first save enough to pay a deposit at my apartment complex (shhh don't tell, we never paid for the cats, but they stay inside..It is kind of hard to hide a dog). Then of course we need money for the puppy and to get it shots and supplies.
Anyway she went on to tell me that her new pug was 9 months old and had belong to a Military family who was moving. They got her thinking it would work ok, but now she wasn't so sure..She might have to get rid of her...Oh to bad I said..She left and I didn't give it another thought.
The next day almost as soon as we opened the same woman walked in. She reminded me of who she was and what we had talked about. Hello I said.
Then I got the surprise of my life. She told me that her husband told her to find a new home for the dog, and that she wanted me to have her. Oh I gasp. I can't afford a dog right now. She went on to say she had paid 400 dollars for her and that she knew she would not get her money back from here and she knew I could not afford to pay her that. NO I can't I said..Then she started to cry. She said she had been praying about it, and that she felt that God had lead her to give me the dog. That I could just pay her anything I felt I could afford...By now my head is spinning. First I'm not a particularly religious person, but who am I to argue with God...Uhhh I stuttered...I need to talk to my husband, I might be able to offer you a hundred dollars. (Thinking to myself how much do I have in the bank, since it was not pay day). I then told her I was interested but wanted to see the dog..She left and brought her back to me a few minutes later. Of course as soon as I saw her I knew she was mine. We exchanged phone numbers and as soon as I got off work that night my daughter and I went to pick her up. My husband was working late that night and he didn't have his cell phone with him, so I didn't get a chance to asked him what he thought about all of it. I just showed up with the dog..YIKES!. Thankfully he was ok with what I had done.
He knew a hundred dollars for Pug was a steal any day of the week, and after all she was cute, How could his heart not melt.
Lucy came only with the original papers that her first owners had. They had paid 1,300.00 for her in March at another local pet shop (we don't sell pets where I work, only supplies and fish) She is pure bred, and has a pedigree. She is also micro-chipped. The first owners never registered it, so I did that right away. I found out that she had never had any shots except what the breeder gave her at 6 weeks old. So the first thing on my list was a vet visit. We got all her shots including rabies, and now she only needs one booster to be set for a year. (She gets that next week)
Her name was not Lucy, but we didn't like that they called her, so we changed it. Within a day she was coming and understand that Lucy is who she is now. She is also potty trained,(except for a couple of time when I have taken a nap, and left her in the house she pooped...My fault not hers) is crate trained, and can sit. Not a bad start for a young dog that has been shuffled around..
Lucy now has a forever home and we are glad she is part of our family. Molly loves her and Maggie is getting better. She still won't go near her, but doesn't hiss as often. I hope that they can make friends soon..

Mom

can I come out now?

2006-11-03T08:54:00.000-05:00

Maggie here...
I only have a few minutes. Mama has the D-O-G out for a walk, and I think if I hurry I will have time to blog..Whew, what a few weeks I have had..First mama got something called a love bird..

Molly and I didn't mind that, in fact we enjoy sitting on the chair and watching it.
Molly got in bad trouble the other day though. Mama had gone to take the D-O-G out and when she came back in the bird cage was on the floor. Seed and water were everywhere, and the bird was making all kinds of noise, hanging upside down from the bars of the cage. I was no where to be found, but there sat Molly still as could be on the edge of the couch, just grinning..I tried to tell her she should have run, but you know Molly, she wouldn't listen.

Anyway, this thing with this D-0-G is different..I hate that dog. She plays with Molly, but I won't let her near me. I snarl and hiss and run the other way.
Mama just yells at both of us, cause Lucy barks and chases me.
Dumb ole dog!
Uhh oh I hear them coming..gotta go!!
P.S.
I heard mama say she would tell everyone the gotcha story about Lucy when she has time..

NO NO NO

2006-10-30T22:30:00.000-05:00

Oh my stars..I can't believe my mom did it..She got a D-O-G
A real live D-O-G.
We got a pug name Lucy..Maggie hates her..She hisses and growls and runs and hides in the bedroom. I only hate her when she tries to chase me. Momma says we will get use to her, but right now..We are NOT happy kittys! It was bad enough when we got the B-I-R-D....This is just to much...

Molly..(and Maggie who is hiding under the bed)

New photos of the girls

2006-09-09T18:34:00.000-04:00

I took some photos of the cats today so everyone can see how big they are now..
Molly(the black and white kitty) got her rabies shot today and weighs almost 5 lbs. Maggie (the calico)is about the same weight. She is longer and a little skinner..Before long they won't be babies any more..Sigh

The throw away kitten

2006-09-08T16:33:00.000-04:00

This is Maggie and Molly's mom and today I am blogging instead of the girls....Here is why. I work at a large pet store and:
About an hour before I got off work yesterday I rang up a lady buying cat food. We chatted a bit and she went on her way. Just as she was walking out the door another customer was walking in. I looked up to greet her and saw she was carrying a box. . MEOW, MEOW,MEOW I heard coming from it. Oh no I thought to myself..Do not be coming in this store with kittens because I can NOT take home another cat. The lady I had just rang up stopped to see what was in the box, and both of them came over to me. Inside the box was a tiny little black and white kitten covered in dirt and mud, a bit damp and scared to death. . It looked to be about 3 weeks old. Way to small to be away from it's mom. The lady with the kitten explained to me that she had found the kitten. It seems someone had throw it away!!

She found it on the side of the road, near the over pass. Of course I scooped the kitten into my arms, and begin rubbing it to warm it up. Meow, Meow, Meow .ohhh my heart was breaking. How could someone throw away something so tiny and precious. The customer I had just rang up must have felt the same way because she immediately told the woman she would take the cat. We all hurry over to the cat isle and got milk supplement and a bottle. I gave the kitty a little bit more love and turned it over to its new owner. There was a part of me that really wished the lady had left just a few seconds sooner than she did, because I would have brought that baby home in a heart beat. It wasn't meant for me though and I am happy it found a home. She looked just like my baby Molly and when I got home the first thing I did was get both of my cats and love and hug them. I didn't realize how much it had upset me until my husband came home, but as I recalled the story to him I started to cry. I just can't believe someone did that..I was so angry. I just wanted to throttle them. I hope they get paid back someday..

Anyway speaking of cats. I don't think I have mentioned the Ferrell's for awhile This afternoon my daughter and I took my grandson for a walk and we were surprised to find that there were four kittens now living among the Ferrell's. They looked to be about 6-8 weeks old. We knew someone had been feeding the cats for awhile because they had food on the balcony. Tonight they were home and as soon as they saw us they came outside.

Both my daughter and myself thought that they were a bit strange, but we are glad they at lest feed the kittens. We were able to catch one of them and it was very calm. The others just looked at us, and ran. They all are in need of medicine for there eyes. The woman living in the apt. told us that she has homes for them, but we think she lied. Supposedly she is going to catch them this weekend and give them to friends. My daughter said she is full of it and probably has no intention of giving them away. She is just one of those crazy cat ladies who keeps feeding them and letting them breed. My daughter told me that she is going to wait a week and if the kittens are still there we will go when the people are not home and try and trap them. Hopefully we can get the one that is a little tame and at lest get some medicine for its eye..

I just don't understand people...

Helpful HInts

2006-08-29T23:48:00.000-04:00

Mom got a new book with lots of helpful hints in it...Here are some she found about kitty's.

1. If your kitty decides to use the carpet instead of the litter box, sprinkle dried pennyroyal on the spot to keep him away from the carpet next time.
2. Add a teaspoon of bacon fat or vegtable oil to your cats food daily will usually enable him to pass hair swollowed during grooming before it forms large balls.
3. Medication time will be a lot easier for your kitty and you if you coat tablets and capsules first with butter before giving them to your cat..

We hope you enjoyed these..
Love,
Maggie and Molly

Funny

Momma got this in her email today. Molly and I didn't think it was funny, but Momma said she was posting it anyway.

HOW TO WASH THE CAT

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water and have both lids up.

3. Find the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape.) The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this. CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for anything they can find.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "Power Wash" and "Rinse", which I have found to be quite effective.

6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will self-dry.

Sincerely, The Dog

Adjusting

2006-07-12T12:45:00.000-04:00

Molly is adjusting fine, but Maggie is still a bit mad. She has stopped growling, but the minute I put Molly down to play she jumps on her and tries to bite. This morning I did see her licking Molly, which I hope is not a sign that she was tasting her to see if she needs more salt before eating. I still haven't left the girls alone in the house. Molly is staying in the spare bedroom for now. I did take her with me last night to a friends house where I am staying while he re-coups from open heart surgery and she slept in the bed with me. She seems like she is going to be a sweet kitten. Hopefully Maggie and her will soon be friends.

Here are some more photos of the two of them.

It's a girl

2006-07-10T15:45:00.000-04:00

I have a baby sister!, and I hate her. I am going to bite and hiss and growl and eat her if I get a chance. I am MAD. I do not like having to share my mommy and daddy with another cat. It was bad enough to have kitty's and doggies in the family. I thought I was going to show mommy who was boss when my human sisters new kitty came to visit for a day, now I am really mad cause this one is going to stay GRRRRRR. They even gave her a name. She is Molly. Now everything is Molly Molly Molly. I am so jealous. This is my house and my toys and my mommy and daddy boo hoo hoo.
To top it off mommy has soaked me over and over with the water bottle to keep me calm. Getting wet is not keeping me calm. It is only making me the cleanest cat in town. I'm running away.

Well folks you read it right Maggie is not a happy kitten today. I brought home a baby sister for her last night and she doesn't like it one bit.
We have named her Molly and she is black and white. She is only five weeks old. Just the same age as Maggie when we got her. Again she came from a customer at the store where I work. At first she was given to a rescue group who took her to the SPCA. They were going to put her to sleep, and the lady who was fostering her over night thankfully took her home. When I heard about it I talked with the rescue group and the kitten was given to me. She needed a home and we had been thinking about a playmate for Maggie. I just don't understand why people want to get rid of kittens so young. She is even smaller than Maggie was at this age. Thankfully she is eating good and seems to be able to handle both wet and dry foods and is litter trained. However she is scared to death due to Maggie being so cranky. I was hoping that Maggie would be better with her since she herself is just turning four months. I was wrong. I have had to watch them every minute. Molly is fine, but Maggie is really being a brat, hissing and growling. I separated there sleeping quarters last night, but am trying to introduce them slowly today. Maggie has her moments. She is ok as long as the baby sits still but if she moves she tries to pounce. I haven't even had a chance to hold the new one much and re-assure her she is ok. Poor thing is scared. I will continue to watch them closely and keep them apart when I am not here for a few more days. Maggie hopefully will cope.She might as well accept it both cats are staying. They will just learn to like each other or stay wet from getting a mist of water from the bottle ha ha.
Here are the first pictures.

Vacation

2006-07-07T01:09:00.000-04:00

Mommy is taking a break from blogging for a little while. She is ok and daddy is ok, but my human sister and brothers daddy (the ex husband) had to have open heart surgery this week. He needed a triple bi pass. OUCH. He is doing good, but mommy is going to his house to take care of him for a few days. She will be back soon, and I can help her blog again.
Love Maggie

Hungry Kitty

2006-06-30T23:05:00.000-04:00

Mama has been feeding the ferrell kitty's. So far she hasn't seen any of them eat, but the dry food she puts out is gone each day so she knows they are getting it.
For the last two days mama has seen the same kitty walk past the patio. I bet he was looking for his supper. I saw him almost the same time mama did and ran to the dinning room window so I could check him out. He is a pretty gray and white kitty. Mama said he can be our out door cat if she can get him to stay. I hope he will, I think outdoor friends will be nice. That way I can be queen of the house.

Feeling better

2006-06-27T22:10:00.000-04:00

I pouted with mamma the rest of the night after that kitten left, but today I am feeling better. Momma came home from the store and she had a new dish and some stinky goodness for me. She also got me a new dry food, I still don't like dry, and not many kinds of stinky goodness, but I ate a little of it cause I was hungry. I spent the rest of the night playing with my new mouse mamma got. I think she feels bad for all the upsetting things I have been though the last few days.

No She Didn't

2006-06-26T23:22:00.000-04:00

ok, that is it. I am running away. First my momma tells me I have cousin cats who can go outside to play. Then she tells me that there is a dog in the family. Now I find out that my human sister has adopted a kitten!! A boy kitten. Named Simon. I protest I am the baby here. I get all the attention, and toys, and love and food, and anything I want. I get to play all by myself with "the grandson". He is MY boy. he can't be owned by another cat. I'm jealous. What if the boy loves him better than me. Oh momma I just can't belive it .Momma even let Simon come to my house and eat out of a saucer.She gave him some of my stinky goodness. Momma put some in my bowl too, but I wouldn't eat it. I was not happy. Let me tell you I let everyone know it too. I growled and hissed and took a swat at the kitten. Momma got the water bottle out and threatened to use it. I just went in the other room. It hasn't been my week. I'm going to bed. Sigh

Bow Wow

2006-06-26T13:31:00.000-04:00

Please tell me it's not true. I just found out I have a D-O-G for a cousin. It was bad enough to learn that I had kitty cousins who were allowed to go outside and play, now I find out that there is a DOG in the family too. No fair. He gets to go out to poop, and play ball and take walks. Sigh...Some animals have all the fun.

Kitty Cousin

2006-06-23T23:01:00.000-04:00

Talking to that big water bottle didn't do me any good. Momma said I am not going outside no matter what. I protest! This is my cousin Queen. She belongs to my momma's sister and she gets to go outside. What makes her so special? Just because her name is Queen, doesn't make her one! POUT!

Uh Oh

2006-06-21T23:12:00.000-04:00

We need to talk

Happy Human Daddy Day

2006-06-18T17:48:00.000-04:00

My daddy and I enjoyed our day. He spent his watching the inside TV and I spent mine watching the outside TV. Every little kitty should enjoy Daddy Day with there human this way.

A trip to the VET

2006-06-17T23:00:00.000-04:00

This has been the worst day of my life! I got up early with my momma to play like we always do.My morning was going just fine when all of the sudden momma picked me up and stuffed me in a pink bag. I was ok at first, Momma was right there with me, but I started to get a little scared when I got in the car. Then momma took me to the big pet store that she works at. I had been there once before on the day that momma got me. I remembered the smell and I was so afraid that momma was going to leave me, that I cried and cried and cried. Mamma's boss told her I was to loud and to put me in a different room. Momma wasn't happy about that, but she did and closed the door. Thank goodness I didn't have to stay there long, and momma came and got me. We went into a different room. Momma opened the bag and let me out and held me tight. I thought that I was safe and I started to purr. Then a strange lady and man came in. The next thing I knew I was being poked and probed, and the lady jabbed me with something sharp. I was not happy and I let out a big Yowl! I tired to bite the ladies hand. She gave me to momma after that, and I felt better for a minute. Then the man picked me up and I felt something else stick me..Yowl again. As soon as that prick was done I got stuck again. Now I was really unhappy. I had been stuck three times. Momma was trying to pet me and calm me down, but she put me back in the bag. We went out of that big room into a little room and waited for what seemed like forever. Momma said we were waiting to make sure my test was negative. I didn't even know I took a test. I just know I got pricked, and I was not happy.
About ten minutes later the lady came in and told momma everything was fine. That I do not have something called feline leukemia or aids. Momma smiled and said that is good. She was happy because they said "Maggie is healthy". I was happy too, because Momma was holding me again. The next thing I knew though there was that man again . POKE. OUCH YOWL. I got stuck again. Then he opened my mouth and shoved some glucky stuff in it. Something about worms. Oh gosh I hope I didn't swallow a worm. I like liver, but worms is a bit much.
I was really mad now. Four times in one day is just going to far. Momma said it is ok baby we are all done. We left and the next thing I knew Momma was opening the pink bag and I was home. Wait, what is this. Momma is leaving me. No, don't go. I ran to the door. Momma picked me up and told me Maggie, momma has to go to work baby. I ran to the door again, NOoooooo momma I want you to stay home. Maggie I have to go baby, and off she went. I was sad, but I knew momma would come home for lunch. She always does. But I waited and waited and momma didn't come home until 7 pm.
I let her know as soon as she walked in the door. I was not happy.
Momma picked me up and loved me for the rest of the night. She said I am spoiled and gave me some stinky goodness and settled down to read all of my friends blogs.
Momma better not get out of my site again. Bad Momma

*note from mamma...Maggie got her shots today and also got tested for feline leukemia and aids. Both were negative. The vet gave her a shot for the leukemia to prevent it from ever occurring and she will never need this shot again. She also got de-wormed and we got heart worm meds for her. The vet said she is healthy and I am happy to report that Maggie now weighs 3lbs 8 oz (she is 11 weeks old). We will go back in about 3 weeks for her next set of shots. After that she will get one more and a rabies, which will be good for a year. *

Maggie broke my favorite yellow vase today, but I now I know why. Se had just finished a wonderful adventure with her friend Zeus. Zeus took very good care of Maggie on there trip, but she was still a bit over excited. She was racing around when she got home and that is how the vase got broken. Anyway

P.S.
I am still buying the water bottle..Little kitty's have to learn manners and Maggie is still a bit to wild.

(Momma)I don't have time to talk to you about it right now Maggie, I am on the way to the store to see if I can replace the vase and buy a BIG spray bottle to fill with water...(Momma smiles to herself, and thinks..Oh my I had forgot how much trouble little kitty's get into. Maggie is still my baby and I love her..Sigh)

Feeding the cats

2006-06-12T22:54:00.000-04:00

Momma spotted one of the wild kitties tonight. It came right past our patio. She got all excited and ran and got the dry food. She followed the kitty to the edge of the brush, but it took off running towards the street where momma saw them last night.
Momma poured some of the food on the ground where the kitty went and more on our patio. She hopes it will be gone in the morning...We will let you know.

2006-06-12T13:22:00.000-04:00

Ohhh Zeus is on the way!! I'm so excited.

Field Of Cats

2006-06-11T22:46:00.000-04:00

Momma went for a walk tonight in our apartment complex. She had heard that some Ferrell cats were living in the woods at the edge of the property. Sure enough she spotted them. Momma said that there are at lest ten kittys out there. She wondered if there are any babies in the woods. She didn't go in there to find out because of the under brush and poison ivy, but momma said she might go buy some dry food tomorrow and sit it out in bowls to feed the cats. They are not living on our street which makes momma sad because now she is worried about how they are eating and if people over on that road are feeding them. Someone told momma that they have been hanging around the woods since last year. That a litter of kittens had been thrown out in the woods. Those kittens have had babies a few times momma suspects from the amount of cats she saw. Momma was mad to think someone did that and now all those kittys have no home. She told daddy tonight that she wonders if she puts food out on our patio will the cats come over from the other street. Kind of like the movie Field of Dreams where they say build it and they will come..Momma wonders..hmmmm
Feed them will they come. Guess we will see what happens.

Meet Tinkerbell

2006-06-09T22:32:00.000-04:00

Mom has been reading around the cat blog community about how some of the cat moms have been adopting or fostering a "special kitty". Since we have the same "adoption place" in our neighborhood, mom paid them a visit tonight and came home with one. She named it Tinkerbell because right above the area that it was living were some windchimes. Mom said every time she would reach in to pet a kitty (so she could see which one needed a home the most) that the chimes would go tink tink...tink. That made momma laugh, so right then and there before she even adopted it she gave it a name..(Humans are so weird.)
At first I wouldn't even look at the new cat (after all momma has lots of others)

But then it got down on the floor with me and wanted to play

I thought I should at lest give her a chance, so I shared my new toys with her and we had the best time.

I think it wore both of us out..I'm going to get some rest now..
Good Night

No More Fleas

2006-06-09T17:10:00.000-04:00

All my fleas died..YIPPIE...

Goodies for Maggie

2006-06-07T20:51:00.000-04:00

Ohhh, momma stopped by the VET today and got some advantage for my fleas and while she was out she got some new toys for me. I am soooooo Happy!. I hope the mean nasties go away now and leave me alone to play with my pretties.

Fleas

2006-06-06T20:52:00.000-04:00

Oh I am so embarrassed, I hate to even confess this but I have FLEAS. Momma said I shouldn't worry, and that it is normal for kittens my age to have them. That made me feel a little better, but I'm still embarrassed. I jump and scratch, and it hurts when they bite me. Momma said she feels bad for me. She tried to help me and at first she thought she could comb them out. She was hoping since I am the only animal in the house that would kill them, and that worked for a week or two, but now they are back. I heard her and daddy talking tonight and they said they are going to bring home some flea medicine tomorrow.

Good Grief

2006-06-03T22:00:00.000-04:00

I told momma I was lonely and could we get another cat for me to play with. This wasn't exactly what I had in mind....Humans!!!

I'm feeling a bit crowded

2006-06-02T10:16:00.000-04:00

Ok, I know momma works, and daddy works, and they are really tired when they get home, but would someone please tell them they need to clean off the computer desk! After all a girl needs her space.

I wanna help

2006-06-02T09:59:00.000-04:00

No Maggie, I don't care if the flowers do need water. You are to little to go outside

Love
Mom
(If you look closely you will see Maggie standing in the door looking out)

I'm cute

2006-06-01T13:38:00.000-04:00

Oh I'm so excited. Momma entered me in my first beauty contest. Calvin & Hobbes is having it's June Summer Photo Contest. I have a chance to win a certificate with my name on it. If you have time, stop in and cast a vote for your favoirte pet. You can vote once a day until the end of June. The vote doesn't have to be for me, cause some people might think the other animals in the contest are prettier, and if you do that is ok. I just thought it might be fun to enter.
Love Maggie

Good Helper

This is a picture of momma's kitchen after the grandson and I "HELPED" her clean this morning. I don't think she likes our kind of help..
oops

Sweet Dreams

2006-05-29T21:52:00.000-04:00

When Mama first brought me home she took Daddy shopping for me a bed. I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. Why should I sleep in that dinky little bed on the floor when I can sleep with "the grandson". I like it when he comes to spend the night with my mama.

He plays with me, and when it is time to go to sleep I crawl right into his bed with him. Mama doesn't think me getting in his bed is a good idea at all, and she keeps taking me out of the room and closing the door. That's ok though, because when "the grandson" wakes up tomorrow I will be there to say good morning.

Copy Cat

2006-05-29T00:10:00.000-04:00

Do you think maybe Maggie has been taking lessons from the big girls?

Cords and stuff

2006-05-28T12:51:00.000-04:00

Maggie's mama here.

Our nice friends Meowmepurr's Mumma in Washington State was worried that Maggie might be playing with a cord on the blinds. We want to say thank you to them for caring, and to let everyone know that Maggie was playing with the handle to push the blinds back and forth (no cords on this kind) Just remember though that it is important to tie up cords so that kitty's puppies and especially human babies can not get caught in them and get choked.
Thanks again Meowmepurr's.

The Little Cat Who Could

Kitty TV

2006-05-25T11:37:00.000-04:00

Some of my friends have explained to me that looking outside is what they call Kitty TV. Wow I am so glad to know that, cause TV is fun. Thanks guys!

Birdie

2006-05-24T23:31:00.000-04:00

I saw my first birdie!! Can I go outside now? I promise to only put the birdie seed in the feeder and come right back inside..can I please? PLEASE....

No maggie..you are a indoor kitty, and I don't need any help..You would only scare the birdies away...(Love Mom)

DARN.....

Who Me?

2006-05-24T08:04:00.000-04:00

Mama says I make her tired cause I am so busy....I said Who Me?
What do you think?

Mom's are a girls best friend

2006-05-22T17:42:00.000-04:00

Momma took this picture especially for Scooby, Shaggy & Scout
There momma didn't know what Trader Joe's is. After reading there post my momma got hungry, so she went shopping at the Trader Joe's near our house. Once that bag of popcorn came home. I became momma's best friend..Yummy

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Maggie....Get out of the dishwasher, I don't want hair on everything.....

Awwwww Mom, your no fun......

New adventure

2006-05-18T07:43:00.000-04:00

I went on a new adventure. I snuck outside. I knew I wasn't suppose to go, momma had told me over and over No Maggie, get back away from the door. Usually I listen, but last night it was just to tempting. Momma and daddy went shopping last night and came home with a belated Mother's Day present for mom. She got a new freezer and in all the excitement I ran out the door. I was only there a minute of two when daddy heard me crying. Whew was I scared. As soon as the door opened I ran back to my daddy. Momma said thank goodness we live in an apartment building. The door to my house is down some stairs and it is like having a closed in little patio in the front area. Momma told me I was bad, but she picked me up and gave me lots of kisses, and hugs. She told daddy she hopes it is a long time before I learn the stairs are there. I am sorry I scared momma and daddy, Usually I just look out the back door (which is at ground level). I sure am glad they used the front door last night. The outside is a scarey place for little kitties like me.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

2006-05-17T13:22:00.000-04:00

ohhhh, hey mom...can you help me out here please

Lucky Kitty

2006-05-15T21:29:00.000-04:00

I almost had a playmate today, but my momma found him a home. Yesterday while momma was off work someone came to the pet store she works at with four little furry babies that were only four weeks old. There momma was a feral and had abandoned them three days earlier. The customer had been watching them and when momma didn't come back she knew she had to find help. One of the nice ladies at the pet store told the customer that she would foster them and find them homes. By the end of the day three of them had homes, that is all but one poor little fellow who was the runt of the litter. He went home that night with one of momma co-works who brought him in to momma this morning. The ladies at work had talked it over and just knew my momma would take him. Well sure enough momma was about to hold our her arms to him when the lady she had just rang up in line ask if she could hold him first. Momma smiled. Something told her this little fellow had just found the home it needed. It was an older lady and her kitty had gone to the rainbow bridge just a month ago. She needed a kitty to love and this little guy needed a new momma. It seem to make sense to momma so she kept telling the lady how pretty he was, and how he needed a new momma. The customer smiled kissed the baby and told my momma "He has a new momma now". My mom smiled and said Your are a "Lucky" kitty. The new momma said yep that is a good name for him.
My momma just smiled. Don't you just love happy endings.

Taxi!

2006-05-13T04:36:00.000-04:00

Ok, I like to play as much as the next cat, but this is really to much. I was sleeping away, minding my own business and dreaming about chasing a mouse when all at once I heard a noise. My daddy heard the noise, he woke up my momma and she heard the noise. Momma put on her robe and went to the door. I wanted to go with her and we peeked outside. Yep that was where it was coming from, I heard it too and it was a big noise. Momma said it was something called a car horn. I heard her talking to daddy and she said it was not a car alarm, but a horn beep, beep, beep, beeeeeeeppppp. Momma and daddy groaned and mumbled something I can't repeat or I might get my mouth washed out with soap. (I've heard soap taste nothing like tuna)
They waited and waited but the car kept going beep, beep, so daddy picked up that new phone thingie that I had so much fun helping install the other day, and he talked to someone on it. He told momma he was calling 9-1-1. That was at 3:45 this morning and now it's way after four. The horn is still beeping. I was all excited in the begining, cause it was sort of fun having both momma and daddy awake to play with me, but now I'm getting sleepy. I started to protest, and so did the "grandson". He woke up and made almost as much nosie as the horn. Momma was mad by now. She mumbled that bad word again, and said something about it being a good thing no one was bleeding to death since it had been over 20 mintues since they called 9-1-1. Finally someone daddy called "THE POLICE" came and taked to momma and daddy. A few mintues later the noise stopped. It's a good thing. I had already packed my bag, I was going to the Holiday Inn.

Note from momma, The story above is true, except for the part of Maggie packing the bag. Accually I had taken that picture earlier in the day, the bag holds some yarn I had packed away from the recent move, and Maggie wanted to play on it. When the horn woke everyone up I thought it would be the perfect picture for this post. NIGHT EVERYONE

Family Cats

2006-05-13T00:00:00.000-04:00

My momma told me today that I am growing up to fast. She wants to keep me a baby. I'm ready to be a big kitty, but momma said Not yet Maggie, you need to stay small. The she showed me some pictures of kitties that once lived at her house. I thought they were so pretty. Momma got kinda sad when she talked about them. She said they had to go live somewhere else when she moved. I sure hope she doesn't move again. I like living with my momma.

Note from Mommy: Don't worry Maggie, Mommy loves you and this is your forever home. Even if we move again you will stay with me....Hugs...Mommy

A visitor

2006-05-12T21:23:00.001-04:00

I had a visitor today. Someone named the "grandson". I liked him because he wanted to play with me. He is sleeping at my house tonight. I wonder if I can sneak in the extra bedroom once mama goes to sleep and crawl in his bed...Nawww I would miss my momma and daddy to much. They are more soft and squishy than the "grandson"

Stinky Goodness

2006-05-11T17:53:00.000-04:00

Momma here.
Can someone tell me what stinky goodness is? I keep seeing that name around the cat blogs. Is it a nickname for can food? Or a brand of something?

Thanks

Operator Can You Connect Me Please

2006-05-11T13:30:00.000-04:00

While mommy was busy adding my membership from the Coat of Many Colors group, I was busy helping the phone man install the phone. Several weeks ago mommy and daddy moved into a new apartment. Mommy has worked very hard getting things unpacked, and everything was almost in place when I came to live with them. The only thing missing was something she calls a telephone. It has taken awhile to get one. Something to do with package deals and cable lines. I'm not sure what all that means, but I know it was hard work getting that phone thingie in my house.

First we had to unroll the line.

Then we had to take everything out of the box. I wasn't sure he had it all,

So I stuck my head in there real deep to check it out.

Finally he finished and mommy and I settled down for a snack.

CAKE! I really thought that cake smelled yummy, but I was afraid to try and get any after I got my bottom smacked for trying to get mamma's lunch the other day. It was ok though, mommy said I could have a taste to help celebrate my friend Miles birthday. He turned one on Wednesday. I sure hope some more of my friends have a birthday soon. That cake was fun to eat. Almost as much fun as helping the phone man. It's been a big day. I need a nap.

Social Butterfly

2006-05-11T13:27:00.000-04:00

Oh I feel like such a special kitty. Mommy said I am a social butterfly now. I have a membership. I belong to the Group Coat of Many Colors. Please visit them by following my links. There are lots of pretty kitty's there.

Hide me

2006-05-10T07:43:00.000-04:00

Does anyone have a place for me to hide? Or at lest hide the evidence? I told momma that I just found that ole leaf that way but I'm not sure if she believes me. Maybe I should try and eat the picture... While she is gone I might sneak on here and eat the picture. That way I can get rid of the evidence. I wonder if pictures taste better than plants.

Pout

2006-05-09T21:40:00.000-04:00

Boo hoo, I got my first spanking today. My mommy whacked my bottom just because I jumped up in her face and tried to get her spaghetti. I am pouting..I wouldn't even look at mommy for a long time. Finally mommy picked me up and loved me, but I'm still not speaking to her. POUT!

No Fair

2006-05-08T21:00:00.000-04:00

I want to protest. I want to go outside with like the big kitty's and play. My new friend Patches from The Calico Girls has a harness and she gets to go outside. Mommy told me I was to little to go out and I had to wait until I was older. Then just a few minutes later she tells me that I am getting to big for my britches. Just because I was playing with her old jacket strings. I don't understand it. If I am to big for my britches, why I am to small for a harness. I think we need to go shopping!

Sunday's Adventures

2006-05-07T21:22:00.000-04:00

Something worke me up this morning. It sounded like this.ZZZZZZZZZ I went into my mamma and daddy's room to see what it was. It seemed to be coming from somewhere near my daddy right by his mouth. I didn't want the sound to get my daddy so I jumped up on him to wake him up, but he just rolled over. Whew, that was scarey cause he almost rolled on me. I was ok though and the sound stopped. Next I jumped on mamma, I wanted to tell her about the sound I had heard near daddy. She just opened one eye and looked at me. Go away she said, it's my day off and I want to sleep. I wasn't about to leave that room. Oh no, no way, I didn't want that noise to come back. I just kept jumping around my mommy. Finally she sat up and let me crawl into her lap.I was glad, since that noise had scared me. Mommy started petting me and telling me what a pretty kitty I was. When she did this I started to feel bad about waking them up but then I thought to myself that maybe they should take more naps like I do. No time for guilt. Nope not me, I'm to young for guilt issues. I had other things to think about. I am a busy kitty you know. Anyway once mommy got her eyes open she came and sat in front of my favorite toy, the computer. I love the computer, especially the thingie that she moves her fingers up and down on that she calls a key board. It is just the right size for me to sit on. There is only one problem, mommy said her and I can not use it at the same time. I don't understand why. If it is MY toy I should get to use it first. Sigh!
Anyway me and mommy did something called blog surfing. Mommy went to visit a lot of my new friends this morning, and I helped her read most of them. Everyone seems to be having a good day, especially my friends over at the
The MeezersThey were talking about a new machine that there mommy has called a spot blot. It pees on the floor, and the kitty's didn't think it was fair. I don't think it is fair either. I heard mamma talking to daddy about the machine.
My mommy told daddy they didn't have to worry because if I went pee on the floor it wouldn't make a wet spot (yet). I did see her write something down on a piece of paper thought. I sure hope it wasn't about that big machine. Then mommy told daddy something about getting a new bathroom box for me. I saw her looking at pictures of a big one that cleans itself. I am sure that box must have a really big tounge if it can clean itself..

After breakfast I heard mommy talking to daddy again. Something about going to visit family. I was excited when they told me I would get to go. Then I saw them take out the big pink box that they brought home last week. I thought it was a nice box until my mommy put me in it!!
I was NOT happy at all. I felt like I was in jail.

I tried and tried to get out of the box.

I cried and begged and did my very best to unlock the latch, but I was to small. Mommy finally let me out and I sat in her lap awhile. I stopped crying right away.
Mommy said I am spoiled.
When it was time to come home mommy I got to ride on mommy's shoulder.

Whew, I've had a big day. I think I am going to sleep early tonight. I just hope that noise doesn't come back. Does anyone else have a noise at there house that goes ZZZZZZZZZZZ?

I had an exciting day

2006-05-06T23:33:00.000-04:00

Ohh I am happy. Mommy shared her lunch with me today. She brought home a sub sandwhich. I was already getting excited just at the thought of seeing mommy when all at once my nose caught a whiff of something good. It smelled so yummy that I jumped up in mommy's lap to see what it was. At first she pushed me away and told me to get down. I wouldn't listen though, I knew something yummy was on that plate. I wanted a bite. I kept jumping up and mommy kept making me get down. Finally mommy gave in and picked out some of the meat for me to taste.. Mommy said I am spoiled. I just know I was hungry. That meat was so yummy and my tummy has never felt so good. I took a nice long nap and I am so happy. Good thing since mommy said I am over excited now. Mommy and Daddy went shopping tonight and came home with some new toys for me. I really like what she got me. My new toy has cat nip in it and I jumped around and around trying to play. Now I am a bit dizzy though. I think I need to lay down awhile..

Yummy

2006-05-05T20:09:00.000-04:00

Having a human mommy that works in a pet store really has its advantages. I get yummy food. Mommy says ingredients are important. After reading about a lot of foods my mommy bought me Merrick Brand
food. Mommy said it is a holistic food. I'm not sure what holistic means, since the only kind of hole I know about is the one I chewed in mommy's nylons. (shhhh, don't tell) Anyway what ever it means I sure do think it is yummy. So far I think the turkey is my favorite. Mommy says I'm a pig and that I shouldn't get to use to the sound of the pop top on the can. She wants me to eat dry food, but so far I'm being picky.

Is it a bird or a cat

2006-05-04T14:27:00.000-04:00

Maggie seems to be a bit confused. She thinks she is a bird. In all the years of having cats I have never had one that wants to sit on the lamp shade. Climb curtians yes, but this one wants to perch on the lamp like a bird. If she starts singing I'm buying her a cage ha ha.

Play Time

2006-05-01T12:57:00.000-04:00

As you can tell Maggie had a rough first night. She cried almost the entire night. I was really worried last night that we would have another bad night, but she seemed to do fine. She was playing this morning. I was cleaning the coffe table and she tried to "help". As you can tell the roll of paper towels is bigger than she is!

She ran around the house awhile then settled back in for another nap.

I know both Maggie and I will have some fun days together, and I am looking forward to seeing her grow. Kittens are like babies, we think we will never forget what they looked like or how they change and grow but you always do. Maybe Maggie won't have to many mis-adventures, but if she does you will hear about them here.

First Day

2006-05-01T11:52:00.000-04:00

Hi my name is Maggie and I am six weeks old.
My human mommy works at a big pet supply store. While she was at work on Saturday she had a customer come through her line who was buying a lot of things for a kitten. Mommy said to her, Do you have a new kitten? Yes, she said I got one from a friend of mine today. Mommy's heart went thump, thump because she wanted a kitten. She asked the lady, Does your friend have any more? Yes, she said she still has two. One of them is a Calico. Now mommy's heart was going thump, thump,thump, thump. Mommy was very excited, she had been wanting a calico cat for a long long time. Her and the lady talked awhile and that night the nice lady brought me to the store where mommy works. Mommy was so happy, but I was afraid. I didn't want to leave my kitty mommy and my sister. I was crying and crying but, everything was ok because the next thing I knew my new mommy was holding me. She talked to me and told me it was ok. I was nervous at first. Especially when mommy put me in a box and shut the top. I was not happy with that at all. MEOW I cried. Mommy kept talking to me, telling me it's ok baby, just let me count the money in my cash register and we will go home. I am not sure what a cash register is but I was really happy when she finished counting it and we left. Mommy took me home to meet someone called daddy. He liked me right away, but I was still afraid and as soon as I got down on the floor I hid. Mommy tried to take my picture but I wouldn't even look at her.

Later that night mommy said it is time for bed. All at once it got really dark and I started crying again. Meow! I climbed up in the bed with mommy and daddy, I fell asleep but every time I woke up I cried. I kept mommy awake almost all night, but she didn't seem to mind. Every time I cried she would pet me and talk softly to me. Finally we both went to sleep. I think I am going to like my new home.
