NCAA National Champs in Baseball

I was going to have a Wordless Wednesday post today since Mom is having surgery this morning, but our South Carolina Gamecocks just won the College World Series and are the National Champs in baseball.  We've never won this so the whole state is extremely excited!  Go Gamecocks!!!

CHAMPIONS!

Gamecocks win it all 2-1

Tummy Tuesday

It's Tummy Tuesday.  Time for a snorgle!

Pee ess - Mom's shoulder surgery is tomorrow at 9:00 am EST.  I'll try to post some pictures for the next few days but probably won't get the chance to visit anyone.



Special purrs for Neala today for her surgery.

Giving Mom a Hard Time

As I told you in an earlier post, Mom finally got home Friday night after being gone all week.  I've been pulling the finicky routine on her and will only eat my stinky goodness if she puts it on her finger or buries treats in it.  I'm also ignoring her quite a bit as you can see by the fev-ver just laying on the floor and me walking by it.

Maybe this will teach her not to leave me for long periods of time again!  I just love to give my Mom a hard time.  It drives her crazy!

Trying to Stay Cool

It has been so HOT in SC for the month of June.  I think I've found one of the coolest places in the house:  underneath mom's keyboard in the office directly below the AC vent.  Stay cool, my furriends!

Satisfying Saturday

Mom is home where she belongs!  As soon as she got home and got on the computer to check up on everything, I perched myself at her feet under the computer and gave her the look that got me my treats!  Would you turn down this face?

Finally Friday

Whew!  It's finally Friday and Mom will be home this afternoon after being on the road everyday.  I pulled a "finicky" routine on Mom on Wednesday night and wouldn't eat my new food for her.  She opened a new can on Thursday and I ate it all up.  I love giving mom a hard time; especially when she leaves me home alone!

Short Reunion

Mom got home last night around 9:45 pm.  She's on the road again today and tomorrow, but we had a short little reunion.  She had enough time to take this quick photo of us together and said she's sorry about the laser eyes, but she was too tired to keep chasing me to get a picture.

Mom says she is giving me a kiss from Auntie Deb, too!

Meeting the Taylor Catsssss

Mom did get to visit with the Taylor Catsssss yesterday.  She was so busy giving scritches and pets to all of the kitties that she didn't get too many pictures made with her camera.  However, Auntie Deb took bunches of photos and promised to send them.

I was very sneaky though, I flattened and shrunk myself and hid in mom's computer bag, so Flat Praline was able to visit Auntie Deb and the Taylor Catsssss.

Our first stop was at a wonderful Italian Restaurant in Maryland.  This picture is very small because mom took it with her phone.  Mom had crab ravioli in a rich cream sauce. 

Our next stop was to Auntie Deb's house.  I got to meet Spats, Seaborne, Sassy, Summer and Sam.

Auntie Deb, Flat Praline, and Spats

Auntie Deb, Flat Praline, Mom Paula

Meanwhile, I'm at home trying to figure out how to get into the treats since Grandma Bean left the package on the couch.

Meeting Auntie Deb

Mom has a meeting in Washington, D.C. this week, so my grandma bean will be taking care of me.  But guess who she is meeting this afternoon?  Auntie Deb of the Taylor Catsssss!!!  No fair!  I want to meet Auntie Deb, too!

Mom said she would take some pictures.  She doesn't know if she is going to meet any of the Taylor Catsssss or not, but she is so excited about meeting Auntie Deb.  Maybe Flat Praline needs to sneak into mom's bags!

Easy Like Sunday

This is one of my favorite places to take it easy when it is so hot outside:  right underneath the AC vent.

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there!

Photo Hunt: Six

Let's see:  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .

Mom!  There are supposed to be six cans of stinky goodness here.  I only count 5.  Where did you hide the sixth can?

Oh yeah!  I already ate it!  Guess it's time to get 6 more!

Femme Friday

Mancats have Mancat Monday and we ladycats have never really had a special day to showcase our feminine wiles and beauty.  Well, no more!  We ladycats are now celebrating Friday as "Femme Friday."

I am ladycat, hear me roar!  Don't mess with a ladycat on a mission!  Now, just where did mom hide those treats?

Pee ess - many of you have asked about my tummy since I've settled on my newest canned food and I am doing great!  Mom says she's never seen me eat so well in my 14 years.  I clean my plate in one sitting and I've never done that before. 

Thankful Thursday

I'm so thankful for all of my furriends that are helping out with my recent vet bills from my surgery in April by donating to and/or bidding on items in Gracie's auction on the CB.  If you haven't visited the auction site yet, please do so.  There are some great items up for auction and the memorial/prayer bracelets are a big hit.  The last day to bid on an item or to purchase a memorial/prayer bracelet is midnight Sunday.

Even if you can't support with green papers at this time, I ask for your continued good wishes and purrayers that I stay in good health for a while.  Also, please say some extra purrayers for my mom and her upcoming shoulder surgery in less than 2 weeks.

I love all of you!

Stinky Goodness Decision

The debate between Mom and me concerning my new stinky goodness is over, for now!  Mom is feeding me the new stinky goodness only once a day (1/3 a can) and my tummy appears to be handling it well.  I like this food and it's good for me!

Oops!  Looks like mom hasn't brushed my floof yet and I'm a little disheveled!  Quick, Mom, get the brush!

Snorgle Time!

I just love getting my belly rubbed!  This is an older video, but many of you who have become my furriends in the last year may not have seen it.  Can you hear me purr?




Snorgle time!
 

Easy Like Sunday

Wow!  The heat index in SC has been in the 100s yesterday and today.  I think I'll just take it easy in the cool air-conditioned house today.  Have a restful Sunday!

Not a Happy Camper

I still love the taste of my Blue Buffalo stinky goodness, but last night after using my litter box appropriately, I went outside of the litter box on a piece of mom's clothing.  I didn't have diarrhea, but but the stool wasn't normal like usual.  Mom fears that the new food may be too rich for my delicate tummy.

Mom was on the phone with the vet and the company yesterday.  The vet suggested I try a less "rich" food while the company claimed this sometimes happened and that I would be fine.  Mom then spent over an hour at PetSmart talking with several different employees (all who had cats).  Mom decided to try some less "rich" foods with the following result:

As you can see, after putting some on a plate, she gave up and then started just getting some on her finger for me to try.  I would smell it, back up, and then just stare at her.  I still like the new food she brought home on Wednesday.  Mom thinks that maybe I could eat a little less of the "rich" food and then maybe my tummy wouldn't get upset. 

This is what I like!

Pee ess - for those of you who may be worried that I will starve, I do eat my dry food and it is high quality:  Royal Canin Persian 30 and I do drink my water.  The vet just recommended that I also eat some canned food each day to make sure I have plenty of water.

Finally Friday

Still keeping my paws crossed that the new food won't upset my tummy.  The ingredients are a little different from what I'm used to.  I was still eating great yesterday, but mom said she is only going to buy a couple of cans at a time to make sure I can handle it well.
