Mancat Monday, Disco's Diet & More!

Ok, this every 2 weeks posting is for the birds. No, we likes birdies, so that's not really a complaint. In fact there are some eggs in that birdie house we are keeping an eye on, right outside our living room window.

But our secreTeri is working some overtime cuz they need another vet assistant at her day hunting place and she does the interviewing (kinda like an adoption application, hahameow). But on Friday, she made the big decision and the new person starts in a couple of weeks.

Teri's been so busy she hasn't posted about our Mr. Chewy experience (excellent), or even opened up our package of toys from Imperial Pet to test and review (she even put them in the closet cuz we kept gnawing on the plastic shrink wrap--well, it's OUR present) and she has a book to read and review, too.

So guess we can understand why she hasn't been letting us blog lately...earning green papers gets in the way sometimes, she says. But we've been busy, too. Doing what? Well, lots of napping, as you can see...


While we were napping, Teri went off sightseeing with her manfriend, to a place that some guy called Frank Lloyd Wright built. She took some pix and since she couldn't take any pictures inside, she bought a book about the house, called the Pope-Leighey House.

Teri said she'd like to live there, but her friend said she'd really have to downsize  alot and get rid of lots of knick knacks. We think there would be enough room for us, though. Here's some of the photos she took.




and look, they even have a Catio, too.



In a couple of weeks, she is going with V to visit another place this famous guy built, called Falling Water. We know we like falling water, from the faucet, hahameow!

Then Disco had his toofers cleaned and of course, that had to include a fashion shoot! And speaking of Disco...at his weigh-in today, he is down another 8 ounces! He has dropped a total of 1# 14 ounces and now is looking noticeably more svelte, at 14# 5 oz.

What do you guys think? Disco doesn't look so 'Sausage-y' in his 'Rock Star' Tank Top now, does he? Teri is very happy that the Young Again Zero Carb dry and Nulo and Life's Abundance canned food combo is workin' out for Disco!

In fact, everyone has slimmed down, which is a good thing! Coco's almost down to her 'showcat' weight, having lost 13 ounces and she looks mah-vah-lous. Brighton has lost 6 oz and is just right at 8# 2 oz. Sammy is still nomming on the leftover 5% carb Young Again and even he dropped 8 ounces, too.

Disco only lost one of his teeth, one of the lil incisors in the front...he said it would make a cool 'charm' on his collar, hahameow. He did have a lot of gingivitis, though, and had to have some gingivectomy done.



Teri took lots of photos, some maybe to use on the cat hospital's website...Oh, don't let it go to your head, Mr. D. Here's a little hunkahunka burnin' love vid for Disco's Ladycat friend, Stella.

                                       
Then last weekend, Teri headed over to our old petsitters house for a Weenie Roast. Teri's favorite dog? A Guaca-Dog, no kiddin'.

She brought the fixings for S'Mores--did you know there are Flat Marshmallows made just for S'Mores?

She wasn't sure they would even stay on a stick, but the did, hahameow. and then there were the Jumbo Campfire marshmallows, that's livin' large.

The other BIG (not large, hahameow) news is that Clem and Hero have a new family to dote on them. Yep, no longer are the the 'Guest Bedroom' kitties...

A nice couple who come into the cat hospital where Teri day hunts have been following Clem's progress since he came back home to us in January.

They have been coming to the cat hospital with their 3 Oriental Shorthairs for many years, and now just have one Grannie cat left and Teri thought they might like having a slinky youngster around for fun. She told them about Clem, and they waited while he went through 'rehab'...

Then Hero came back home and as it turned out, Clem and Hero became friends and passed their rehab with flying colors, too. So this couple came to meet Clem and after their visit, they said they couldn't pick just one of them, so they adopted them both...

MeWowZa, Teri was more than excited, because now they could stay together AND she would get to see them both from time-to-time when they came into the vets. She said this was like her best wish answered, and she hopes they will both be happy in their new home...of course, she will be there with advice when needed and with the promise to take them back with open arms if their new home doesn't work out...

So we Curlie Swirlie cats have our 'sun room' back again, and we are happy about that, as you can see by these photos.



Teri had a long weekend off and told her manfriend she needed to catch up with a lot of things, so she was home all weekend. We napped and played, she cleaned and pulled weeds. When it got dark, she even pulled out the laser light for us. That Disco can run faster now he's lost almost 2#, hahameow.
                                       
She is starting to get ready for BlogPaws in June, too. She took photos of Disco and Coco (Brighton wasn’t cooperating) to make ‘Flats’ from, and she is starting to make a list of our friends who are going to go to BlogPaws, too.

She is making up mini Swag Bags for our friends (very mini she said, muttering something about the economy). We only know economy has the word NOM in it and now we’re hungry…

Well, that's about all the mews that we can remember, and we hope that now Teri has some things crossed off her list, that we can get back into blogging on a regular basis again, although she said something about an endless to-do list...mew, mew, mew.

We are happy to hear that GJ is doing pretty well on the new BP meds, and hope that Goma is feeling better soon, too. While we haven't had time to post much, we do make Teri keep up with our friends and visit those who need purrs.

Happy Cinco de Meowo


What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo...


Than with a kitty nicknamed Nacho...


His showcat name is Furrydance TexMexRex...


And he was a famous kitty in his day...and knew how to Party, too.

Brighton's Birthday!

Six years ago today, a kitten nicknamed Surfer Dude was born...

Our petsitters kids nicknamed all the kittens born at Furrydance Cattery, and this little kitten got the nickname when he bounced around on the waterbed, hahameow!


So when Surfer Dude became a show cat, he had to have a show cat name... and he became the cat known as Brighton,  as Brighton is a beach in Cornwall.


Even at the tender age of 3 weeks, Brighton 
had a handsome face and mesmerizing eyes...


He even had to admire his handsomeness himself,
who can blame him...


with his copper eyes and everso soft marcelled fur,
he made friends far and wide...


And today he celebrates his 6th birthday, with a couple of friends, and a feast of real tuna, quite appropriate for a Beach Boy, don't you think?


And since he knows how to have fun, here's a silly Birthday song...Please, sing along and wish Brighton a Happy Birthday, too!

ManCat Monday--Disco's Diet

Another 3 ounces melted away this week---Yay Disco!


Teri says she is going to add a page to our bloggie so that everycat who is having diet challenges of their own can maybe get some 'inspiration' from Disco...

Simply Sunday...

Teri had a 'productive' weekend...which means we didn't get to visit any of our friends once again! We did get in some Cat TV though, in between napping...



She washed about half the windows in our house and shampooed the carpets in her our bedroom, and the hallway and stairs--she put us in the basement overnight so we wouldn't walk on the wet carpets and get chemicals on our paws (then she disappeared so we guess she went over to her man friends house...Yep, he fixed her a tasty Polish meal, too--Lemon Soup, Perogi, Cucumber Salad, Mushrooms in Cream and Sauerkraut...



The plants she planted last week survived her ignoring them all week and sprung back to life when she watered them yesterday. Ps: that's not catnip but mint for something Teri likes called Mojitos).






And here's some pix of our fake flowers...they look pretty healthy, too, don't they?! That's our little Piskie from Piskie World in Cornwall, hahameow!



We hope all furriends had a great weekend, too...We are hope that Prancer Pie is feeling better now and are glad Auntie Judi Bug has cat bloggy friends surrounding her, too....
