Happy Meowloween!

Hai, Furriends!

   It is Meowloween today.  We no haz to wurry about a lotta noise where we live.  Dere are no sidewalks, no street lighting, and no little kids live on our street.  So is furry quiet here.  Da beans, sumtimes go to dere daughter's house.  Dat's where Tigger's sisfur Kaylee lives.  Dey has lotsa kids on dere street, and is furry noisy all nite.  Kaylee no likes, and hides under da beans' bed, we iss told.  Since our sisfur, Sootsie crossed da bridge last year, we no effun haz a black kitty anymores.  :::Pout:::  We still misses her, and mom's eyes still get leaky when she finks about her.

   We no likes to wear costooms anyhow, so da quiet iss okay wid us.   We jus haz a nice quiet day an night wif lots of nappy time.  Duz you finks we nappys too much?  Mom sez we iss getting lazy cuz we nappys and don't wanna play so much ennymore.  Hmm...but nappys are sooooo nice.  We likes to play when da beans are asleep.  Dey no likes.  We gits kicked off da bed!  Mewf!

  Mom wuz doin sum reading, an haz learned dat Meowloween started out from an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain, which was to celebrate da last harvest of da year, and purrpare fur winter. Da things dat are said by peeps on Samhain iss things like, "Happy Samhain,"   "Blessed Be,"  or "Merry Meet, Merry Part, till Merry Meet Again."
  
It wuz allus on October 31/November 1, but in da odder haff of da world, where things are upside down and backwards, it iss in May.  Nacherly, dat don't mean dat our furriends who lives dere iss upside down and backwards... just da place dey live.  MOL

   Happy Tricker Treaing, furrineds!  Meooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwl !!!

It's Really Thursday!

Hai, Furriends!

   This is Tigger speakin.  Iss my turn to write da bloggie.  Today iss really truly Thursday, mom told me so!

Mom said she iss gonna pick da poma. ..pomi...(sumpin) granits offa da tree and takes dem to da kids at da dojo (whatefurr dat iss) so dey don't goes to waste on accounta she and dad no eats dem.  We kin sees dem frum da window in da beans' room.  Dey iss big red froots.  I don know why mom and dad no likes.

Well, I haz an idea fur a fun game, if any of our furriends wants to play.  It's called "what iss yur Indian name?"  Mom wuz reading sumpin and it said dat mos American Indian names were deescriptive..either of a purrson's akomplishmints, fizicul trayts, or behavyoors.

Patches' Indian name, den, I fink, would be, "Walks-Into-Walls."   Jigsaw's, I fink would be 'Thundering Paws."  MOL
I dunno for Munchkin..she haz me stumped.

Jest leave yur names on our bloggie comments, an we will all haz funs.  Iss not really a contest; der are no purrizes...but mom mite pick one she finks is best or cutest or funniest. 

Haz a good day, efurryone!

Der wuz papers all offur da desk, and dey wuz fallin on da floor.  She went out to talk to dad twicet, and we don' fink he could fix whatever it wuz for her, cuz he didn' com back in da house.  Mom and Dad beans no fight wid each odder...dis iss a furry nice house wid no argyments goin on, but sumtimes one of dem gits mad at sumpin else, an dey iss not happy fur a whiles.

We jus stay in da odder room so we don get stepsed on or sumpin.  I hope mom feels better soon so we can haz our scritches and belly rubs.

Hai, effurryone!


   Fanks again fur all yur kind wishes and purrs.  Mom really appreciates it.


    For effurryone dat was wishing Patches better wid her seeshurs... we iss afraid she iss as good as she gits.   She has what da beans call epawlepsy, since she wuz a kitten.  (If you missed it, you kin read her story here:  

http://talkwiththepaws.blogspot.com/2009/09/sunday-stories.html ). 

 She is on medicins fur it, but she haz what da beans call 'breakthroos' about oncet or twicet a month.  Dat iss much better than when she wuz a little kit, and da beans say dey couldn't get throo efun a week widdout her hazing at least 2 seeshurs.  So, she iss 'better,' and we fanks you fur your good wishes fur her.  We will lets her know.

Now we iss getting da boot off da compooter, cuz mom sez she has 'stuffs' to do.  Beans allus gottat do 'stuffs.'  We don know why dey don just take nappys.

   Well, not zackly trubble, but he missed out on his Furriday treats.   Mom wuz usin his perch for sum pickchurs she wuz takin', and Tigger went and told Dad it was Furrriday, and treat day.  Dad tol him he had to wait til Mom wuz done.

   So.. Mom got done, and Dad got out da treats.  All us other kits came runnin, and gobbled up our treats like always.  But Mom wuz making tuna for Dad's lunch, and Tigger smelled it, and wanted tuna instead.  But his treats wuz already on his perch, and Dad tol him, 'here, Tigger--this is your treats.'  Da Tigger just kept goin to da kitchen and beggin for tuna.   Dad tol Mom  not to give him any, so she didn't.

   Tigger never went back for his treats, so Dad put dem back in da bag.  Now Tigger iss givin Mom da evil eye.  He got greedy, and got nuttin.  Me an Munchie, we gots our treats.  We don't tink it iss Mom's or Dad's fault... Tigger done it to hisself.  He is a bad kitteh!

Thursday Thoughts

Uh, oh, last nites was purrty scary.  Patches, she hads anodder one of her shaky-sickness times.  She feels it comings on, we tink, and she tries to run away froms it.  She goes crashing around da house widout looking where she iss going, and bangs into all sorts of things, makings a big noise.

It was in what da beans call 'da wee hours,' cuz dey wuz sounds asleep, but da noise woke up mom, and she came hurrying out of bed to rescue Patches from hurting herself.  She had knocked offur a pile of da beans music discs, and made a racket banging into da table, and da walls.

Mom cames out and grabbed her up, and took her to da baffroom, and cuddled her under a soft pad; she said it seems to help to block da light from her eyes.  But der was no lights on till mom got up.  Dat is confuzing. 

We wuz all hiding on high places to gets out of her way.  Da Tigger wuz up on da dining room table, and mom didn't even scold him; I wuz on da scratcher-tree, and Munchie was in da hallway..I tink she'd been on mom's bed when all dis happened.

After Patches stopped shaking, mom wrapped her in a towel and took her back to bed wit her, until Patches calmed down and stopped breathing hard...Den, she wants to get up and eat.  Mom says dey iss going to haff to ajust Patches medicines.  Dis is twicet in dis week, now.  

We feels sorry for our purrty furriend.

Sunday Stories

JIGSAW'S STORY

   Last, but certainly not least, is Jigsaw, whose full name is actually Jigsaw Puzzle, he being named after the many intricate patterns in his fur:  there is a heart, and a cursive letter 'h' among his other stripes and swirls.

   Unlike the others, who we deliberately chose to rescue from various circumstances, Jigsaw chose us. 

   It was February, 2008, and hubby and a friend were outside working on a project.  Up through the carport came Jigsaw, with a bird in his mouth. Hubby noticed at once that the kitty was hurt.  He had a nasty looking wound in his side, and it made my husband angry, because at first sight, he though it looked as if the poor little guy had been shot with a BB gun.  Jigsaw set the bird down, looked right up at my husband, and exclaimed, "Mrow!"  as if to say, "See?  I'm hurt and I still caught a bird and brought it to you."

   We had never seen this cat before anywhere in the area.   He just appeared that day.  We asked around, but no one else knew anything about him, either.  We fear he may have been dumped by some irresponsible jerk.

   Hubby has a very soft spot for all animals, and they know they have nothing to fear from him, and always gravitate to him.  He picked up this little kitty, who was fairly thin, and started to examine the wound.  Jigsaw kept looking at hubby, then down at the bird, and back again, doing a little bit of struggling.  Meanwhile, the bird recovered, shook, and flew away.  Oh, my goodness, the scolding that went on! "MOW!  Meerow! Mrrrow!  Mew, mew, mew!"  As if to say, "Hey, you let my dinner get away; now you have to feed me!"

   Since he'd been outdoors, and we had no idea of his history, we sadly left him outside and gave him some food and water.  Next, we arranged a litter box and a crate with an old blanket, and closed him up out in the shop overnight. 

    Next day, we took him to the vet to be checked out.  Turns out the wound was a ruptured abcess, the vet said likely the result of coming out on the losing end of a cat fight.   He passed his tests well..he didn't have kitty aids or FeLv.  The vet said he was "about 8 months old" at that point.  So, we decided he could be slowly introduced to the rest of the clan.  They'd been 'visiting' and hissing at each other, through the patio door ever since Jiggy had shown up on the scene.

   At first, Jigsaw was quite skittish and nervous around the other cats, but he eventually fit in.  At this point, we now had 5 cats, as we still had our Sootsie then.  Soot would not take any nonsense from him, and swatted him and hissed at him a few times.  Patches either ignored him, or growled and hissed and swatted, depending on where she was in her medication cycle.  If she was fully dosed up, she ignored him; if she was coming down, she wasn't having any sass from a kitten.

  Tigger was another story.  Jigsaw quickly discovered that he could cow Tigger, and take the upper hand.  Tigger, who is the largest of the cats, the eldest (next to Patches), and so second in seniority, should be the king of the castle.  But, as big as he is, he is also cat-dom's biggest wuss.  I cannot make him grasp the concept that "If you don't run, Jiggy can't chase you!"

  So, the chase was on, and continues to be on!   Several times a day, Tigger gets chased up or down the hall.....sometimes short-cutting to his bed across our bed...often after we are in bed...and we get trampled in the kitty stampede.   The two of them sound like a herd of elephants thundering down the hall.  I think they missed the chapter explaining that cats are light on their feet!

  Early on, they were so bad that I would sometimes put them both in Tigger's large carrier.  "There!  sit there for a while, and learn to get along!"  They were just fine then.  They made no attempt to battle inside the carrier.  However, when they were released, they would head in opposite directions as far from each other as they could get.  Jigsaw would toss a look over his shoulder as if to say, "See? You got us in trouble!"   As if it was Tigger's fault!  OY!  

   At this point, I'm unsure if they've arrived at some kind of truce, and are 'just playing' when they carry on, or if they are just showing off.  There does not seem to be any evidence of chasing when we come home from being out for a while....'evidence' meaning tufts of Tigger fur on the carpet...which I will find often enough if I am home and seeing or hearing chase scenes.     

   Munchkin will not tolerate any crap from Jigsaw, either.  In fact, she will chase him.  Tigger and Munchkin play together very well, and will playfully chase each other.  It is funny; in a way, we have a 'pecking order' going on:  Jigsaw chases Tigger; Munchkin chases Jigsaw; Tigger chases Munchkin.   We call it "The Kitty 500."  It can be quite a hazard to objects on the lower shelf of the coffee table, which they view as a shortcut.

   Jigsaw Puzzle is a very sweet and loving kitty.  He loves lap time, eats up pets and scritches, and sleeps right between our heads most nights.  Sometimes, he will sleep on the extra pillows above my head.  Tigger may feel displaced, as he used to sleep with us, but he got kicked off the bed too many times (long before Jiggy's arrival) for disturbing our sleep by sucking his tail (loudly!) while mushing.  Soot used to sleep right between us like that quite a bit.  In a way, Jigsaw has taken over for her, beiing the same kind of 'little lover,' but we do not miss Soot any the less.

  We have no way to know how long Jigsaw was outside on his own, but I think for some time, given how thin he was, and the fact that to this day, he remains fairly skittish and easily startled.  He is very wary, and is on alert at the least little noise that Munchie and Tigger will sleep right through.  But, he has found his forever home here, and like the rest of the lot, we love him dearly, quirks and all. 

   And that finishes the series on the acquisitions of each of our 'fur kids.'  You've now met the whole family.  I now return the Sunday blog to the cats.  ;-)
