Not-so-Wordless Whisker Hump Wednesday


(Bo, Teri's  cat.. who had very fine Whisker Humps)

You are probably saying that we've been Wordless since way last week...Teri says in between watching the Olympics, shredding purged files and cleaning up Disco every time he uses the litterbox (yep, he's still having ummm, the squitters)...she has not had time to help us blog!


Disco had some lab tests done, since we eat a little raw diet, Teri wanted to make sure he didn't have Salmonella or Campy or Crypto...and those are all negative. So he will start on a gut antibiotic today and hopefully by the weekend, be 'firm' again. Teri said Disco seems to feel fine and is playful, but when he was at the vets, the LVT (who is our petsitter, too!) said he seemed a little subdued...

Oh, he's still plateau'd at 14# 6 oz but he's sticking to the diet and Teri is playing with him every night with the laser light and the Cat-a-Pole (we get to join in too, in fact Brighton is a bit of a toy hog!) and Teri said she is going to try playing with us individually so we all get some action!

Teri's getting ready to trap TomTom so she can take him in to her day hunting place and do a sedated groom on him. She said he has a 'rug' on his back that's as ugly as Donald Trumps hair-don't, and she wants to 'Furminate' him so he will stay warm and dry when winter comes, instead of having a wet mat on his back.

He is so chubby and has such a thick coat, that he never shed out his winter coat and Teri feels bad that when it rains, his coat isn't insulating cuz of that wet mat. They'll give him a good looking over, deworm him and update his vaccinations while he's under anesthesia, too...then he'll be good to go!

We got an award a while back and Teri has to get that posted and passed on still, and we have a couple of reviews to do, too... but it will probably be the weekend before Teri gets around to those secretarial duties (if only we had thumbs)...

We probably won't get to Hop today...it's really fun, so hope our friends get to do some hopping!

  1. Bo is handsome! We bet TomTom won't appreciate it at the time, but he will feel much better after his grooming. We are having trouble getting our mum to help us visit because she is watching the Olympics too.

    1. We are sorry Disco is having poo issues. Sissy knows that is no fun.

      How wonderful TomTom is going to be groomed. He won't be thrilled about it at first, but he will certainly feel much better afterward!

    2. Terri! You are a frequent visitor to our bloggie and always leave such nice comments, but we can't find a blog for you and Sissy! Please let us know if you have one, so we can visit you, too!

    3. Jenna, Sissy and I don't have a blog. We just lurk around the Cat Blogosphere. We hope no one minds...

  6. Sometimes other things need to be done, especially cleaning kitties' butts...good luck with TomTom--is he yours, or stray, or unknown?

    1. Tom Tom is a feral who Teri first saw coming around in the Spring of 2011. It took her almost 9 months to trap him, get him TNR'd, and he's been hanging around ever since. He has a heated 'dog house' on the patio in the winter and we see him at least twice a day asking for food. He let's Teri get about 3 ft from him now, a big step up from a year ago...maybe in a year, he will rub up against her leg, hahameow! We have posted about him often, and Teri says she'd love to make a calendar of some of the photos she has taken of him...

  8. My cats and I hope Disco feels better very soon. My youngest sometimes has poopy problems, too. We send many purrs.

  9. Bo was such a handsome lad, he had a very wise expression. How you must miss him.

    Disco!! FEAR NOT! we are sending you a consignment of Mouse Pies (high carb) these will sort your tummy out and get you off that plateau (er, just backwards hehe) Clearly you need lots of energy for all this playing with Teri!

    Tomtom is such a handsome cat, he's really sturdy. He's gonna feel so much better without that mattfest on his back.
