Wordless Wednesday - Only Lady Enjoyed this Moment

 

Tuesdays with Tigris - Visions of Hat Tax Free Days

 Dance in my head.

The taxes are going to be high this year. 

Maybe if I sleep on her legs, Lady won't be able to collect.

Mischief Monday - It is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends,

Guess what? Guess what? My people put a tree in the house. A tree inside, can you believe it?

This tree is not real because Lady is allergic to real trees, but it is a tree and I helped put it up.

First I checked out the tree bag. So did Gris.

Me

Then I checked out the tree.

An hour or so later, after I helped Lady wrap some gifts, I helped by climbing the tree.

I needed some help getting down.

Lady and Man said this year it is a lights only tree. I can't be trusted with ornaments.

Do you have a tree too?

your pal, the great climber, Styxy

Wordless Wednesday - First Signs of Winter

 

Tuesday's with Tigris - Sharing with Lanie

 Styx did a good enough job catching you up on our lives. 

He did miss saying, the store that supplies my food (which by the way is never enough and this being on a diet thing sucks), sent home a little treat bag to celebrate their 5th anniversary. In it was this ball. I love this ball. It has a little bell in it. Thank you Chico. 

Being the kind cat I am, I thought I would give my day to  Jack-O-Lanie, who had her spay yesterday.

Dear readers - I am a very unhappy cat and I feel a little off. It started when the wardens stuck me in a carrier again. They gave me meds to chill, but I wasn't as chill as they would like.  It took a lot to get me in the carrier (mainly because I refused to leave my window, so I was up high. However, no one was injured this time.

Then there was the vehicle and being put on a scale and put back in the carrier and then I am not sure what happened, but I woke up in a cage. My wardens came and got me and realized I was missing bloodwork, so I went back to the back for more poking before finally being transported home to my cell. The vet people said I did well. 

While I was out the Lady warden took it upon herself to freshen up my cell. She cleaned it and re-arranged it better.  I don't know if I like change, but she is happier with it. 

When she let me out of my crate, I let her pet me for the first time. She nearly cried to get to touch me. 

FYI I am super soft

When she came to check on me an hour after my return, I had removed my cone and she has no idea how she is getting it back on. She just might not.

I need to sleep now.

Editor's note:

In her blood panel, everything is within normal. We are waiting for results from feline leukaemia and HIV (they forgot to run those panels).

She goes back in a week for some boosters.

She will be staying on a low dose of gabapentin 

In a few weeks, we will arrange for the cat expert to give us a consult to help her adapt to indoor life. 

Mischief Monday - The Catch Up - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends,

I have missed you so much. I have. We have had so much happen, I don't even know where to begin! Lady said I should keep it short, and I will try!

Lady and Man have been busy, busy, busy. The biggest thing is 2 weekends ago they left us alone for 87 million hours (editor's note - 60 hours) and went and had all the fun. How can they have fun without Styxy? They left the house in the middle of the night (3:30 am) to go to the airport to fly 3000 km/1846mi to Edmonton to go to see bulls. Lady may have mentioned it before, and this is surprising to people, but she loves, loves, loves bull riding. I like watching it with her. Lady and Man went to see the Professional Bulling Riders Canadian Finals. It was 2 nights, she said it was the best weekend of her life. She plans to go next year. So while Lady was living this fun life, we were at home alone, so sad. They made it home Sunday afternoon at 3:30, so 60 hours and 6000 km!

To show Lady and Man how happy we were to have them home, we caught a mouse. I was so exicted when I caught the mouse downstairs, I ran upstairs to show Lady. She did not like when I gave her a live mouse at 5:15 in the morning. Then I chased the mouse as it ran around the kitchen for a bit before getting bored and eating breakfast. The next day Tigris and I played again with the mouse and in the end Man grabbed it and put it outside. We are good at catching, not so good at killing. Lady and Man make fun of us.

The other big news is today is Lanie's spay day. She is about the same. She lives in her room. Lady and Man go and sit with her  a few times a day. She gives them the death stare. She won't eat in front of them, but they can get a little closer to her without her hissing. She has to take some medication before so she will not be too stressed. If every one has a little POTP for her today, our KC (Kidnapped Cat as Uncle Chris calls her) could use it.

I think that is the highlights. I am so glad we are back. I have missed my friends. Missed, missed, missed them!

your pal Styxy

Mischief Monday = Short Paws

 Hi friends, hi friends,

Lady and Man have been super busy with work and life and trying to keep on top of the house and making sure all our needs are meet. 

We are all good. Most of us are living our best lives. Lanie may not be. Lady and Man have a couple more weeks of chaos before winter hibernation.

We will be back soon.
