Helpful HInts

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

Mama says she wishes she had half our energy. Anyway we try and convience Mama that we are being good. Do you think she believes us? P.S. she said that she will post new photos soon..

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

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

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

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

And the winner is:

We are happy to announce that Maggie has was second place by viewers choice in Calvin & Hobbes June Summer Photo Contest!!!

Hungry Kitty

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

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

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

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

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

We need to talk

Happy Human Daddy Day

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.
