Hope y'all have a super Easy Sunday!!

We both let our mom take photos of us yesterday while we were taking it easy.  You know how bad we've been slacking at posting, so we thought we'd better take our opportunity to post our "Easy" shots when we got the chance.  Here is me, all SEVEN pounds of me in a teeny tiny warm kitty ball.
My mom spoke to the vet yesterday, and we're not going to do the surgery to remove my little growth.  The cardiologist said my EKG results could mean a couple of different things, so nothing was conclusive.  The very nice vet said that because of my age, he didn't want to stress me out with more tests, and without really knowing what was or wasn't going on with my heart, he really didn't want to put me under.  My mom thinks she's somehow going to be able to take a better look at that spot and see for herself what's going on.  I don't think so.  I'm not bothered by it - I don't pick at it or anything.  And I'm acting the same as I always have - I sleep a lot, I run, I play, I purr.  So there is nothing to worry about. :)  Thank you all for the purrs, though - it really meant a lot to me.  I would request that you direct all purrs to Miss Parker.  She's just a young thing and her vet results were not as good as mine.  We're both sending all of our purrs to her and her family. 

Have a super weekend, Friends!

My Vet Report
by Fuzzy

Sorry I have no photo to show you - I refuse to pose for my mom after being abandoned at the vet for 4 hours.  But guess what?  I got a good report!  My bloods are perfect!  My EKG was a little wonky, but that is probably from being stressed out.  The results are being sent over to a cardiologist to check them out, just in case.


Zoe, STOP SAYING THAT!  I did not have an anal probe.  I had to have my *anal glands* expressed.  But... are you ready for the best news???  I gained TWO POUNDS!  That may not sound like a lot, but I gained 40% of my body weight in just a few months!  I was 5 pounds at my last senior exam (which my mom cannot remember when it was, but it was this year).  Now I weigh 7.2 pounds!  Yay! 

For a while now, I have had this little knot on my side.  At my last visit, the vet said it was a clogged oil gland (we think - we forget details sometimes).  It has changed over the last month or so, but I will not let my mom look at it.  I also would not let the vet look at it!  But I am scheduled to go in next Wednesday and have it removed, as long as the cardiologist doesn't think my EKG is bad.  We're not really worried, this will be a piece of cake.  I may also get my teef cleaned - I tried to bite the vet when he wanted to look at them this morning. hehe 

Fuzzy goes for her senior exam on Thursday.  She probably will need an anal probe.  What, Mom?  Sorry.  Fuzzy will probably need her anal glands expressed. 

One of my first photos in my Forever Home!

Love, Zoe

Hello, Friends!  Remember me?  It's me, Fuzzy!  Just chillin' in the dirty laundry pile.  I'm a very thankful girl today, for many reasons.  I have a home where I get plenty of food and love, I have very, VERY good friends who stop by to say 'hi' and who crack us up almost every day we're allowed to visit, and last but not least, we got an award!! 


Our very talented, sweet, and hilarious friends, Goro and Niko gave us this really cool award like a million sleeps ago.  We are supposed to say what we wish for the most in the world.  Now, this is tough, because there are obviously so many things that we wish - for all animals to have a safe home with plenty of food, for all of our friends to be happy and healthy, and so many other things.  Then there are the selfish wishes - for our mom to help us with our blog more, for Fancy Feast every night, for no more sucky monsters disrupting naps, you get the picture.  I can't make just one wish!!!  And I can't even be as clever as Niko and Goro when they were telling their mom about their wishes, either.  Well, I'll make a little wish for myself, but I'll use the bigger part of my wish to wish for peace, happiness, and love to all of our friends and other animals of the world.  My little wish for myself is a good senior exam.  It's coming up in the next few weeks.  It was two years ago yesterday that we said goodbye to my brother, Snuggles, and I don't think my mom is up to saying goodbye to another friend anytime soon.  So, a good report back from the vet about me would be pretty nice. 

We're supposed to pass this on, but honestly, we've not been able to visit much so we have no clue who has received this award.  If anyone would like to take this award and share your wishes, we'd be super excited!!  Thank you, Goro and Niko, for giving this award and for being such funny, sweet guys.  We love you both!

Love, Fuzzy

What do you kitties to do entertain yourselves when your moms or humans neglect you?

That is all.

Love, Zoe

Hello, Friends.  It's me - Fuzzy.  Remember me?  The good cat? 
Here I am, enjoying a nice plate of Fancy Feast.  Shortly after this was taken, the fat orange pig that calls herself a cat stole my foods.  Therefore, I'm going to share with you the Tail Incident from Friday.  Several of you asked about it, but my mom said that family members don't tell each others' secrets.  However, I think when a fat cat steals food from a skinny cat, the gloves are off.

Anyway, this story about Zoe isn't a new one - it's happened at least once before with the same end result, and it's happened several times before with different end results.  So on Friday, Zoe jumped up to sit next to my mom.  My mom smelled something foul and just assumed that Zoe farted.  When the smell did not go away, my mom did a tail check and she found it: Poo Tail.  Gross.  I guess that happens to kitties with long tail floof, but still.  Gross.  So, my mom tried to help Zoe get cleaned up, but Zoe freaked out.  Eventually, Zoe forgot she was supposed to be freaked out and came to sit next to my mom again.  And that's when it happened.  Snip.  A big chunk of Zoe's glorious floofy tail was cut out!  Well, the tail wasn't cut, just the floof.  And Zoe was mortified.  She is actually a very clean girl and her floof is almost always immaculate.  It really disturbed her to have a chunk of fur missing, taking away from the normally uniform look. 

Oh, and that IS a freckle on Zoe's nose. 

Love, Zoe

I can tell you one thing that has been keeping her preoccupied - she told us a while back that we might not be the OK Cats anymore!  She told us that she was really hoping that we'd be the Wisconsin Cats!  What the paw?  I don't even know where Wisconsin is!  But anyway, that fell through, so we're still the OK Cats, at least for now!  And don't worry, my mom still has a great, stable job - she's just been looking to see what else is out there.  

Looking good, Mousie #2! 
Unfortunately, Mousie #3 (or was that Mousie #1?) could not be located.  And it is not because I am an Irresponsible Toy Owner.  Sometimes they just can't be found. 

Thanks to our friends who continue to check on us when our mom slacks.  We hope she'll let us catch up with everyone this week, but we know better than to promise.  We love you!

Oh, and no disrespect to my friends who enjoy the, umm, hot buffet, but I have no interest in eating what I have already eaten and expelled.  I leave that for my mom to clean up.

My name is Zoe, and that's how I roll.  Now if you'll excuse me, I need to make myself scarce. 

Well, Friends, you sure know how to make a cat feel good!  I was so grateful for all of you who were worried that Zoe would not share the toys with me that we won from Miss Sparkle.  But I have to confess, I'm not much of a toy girl.
I can tell this is a high quality toy - it smells real nice.  But I just don't play with toys much.  Oh yes, occasionally I'll toss around a mouse or my favorite ball, but even when I was a young gal, I didn't go nuts over toys.  Now that I'm 16, I still prefer a nap to a feather or a catnip banana.  And besides, when Zoe is playing with toys, she's leaving me alone.  So, have at 'em, little sister!  Go Nuts!  Just go nuts somewhere away from me.

Our mom got a bookmark (so she can stop using that pathetic Amazon receipt as her bookmark - classy, Mom).  And I got THESE pawsome toys!  A Kitty Kopter, a Pawbreaker catnip ball, and a Zanie Sparkle Fish!  This Sparkle Fish is very pretty, but not nearly as pretty as our friend Miss Sparkle!

Miss Sparkle, thank you so much for my toys!!  I love them ALL!  You have super taste in toys, and I'm so proud to call you my friend!  Happy Toysday, everyone!

Love, Zoe

Hello, Friends!  We're still here, but things are NOT positive!  Our mom has been super busy at work (which we guess is positive in a way, because that's job security, right?).  It's been stupidly hot here, and our air conditioner has not been working properly.  That has our mom furious and us hot, so we haven't had much to say this week.  Well, we guess that's positive in a way, too, because now she's not abandoning us to go to the lake this weekend.  We just wanted to let everyone know that we're still here, we're still trying to read and comment on blogs when we can, and we'll post again when we have something nice to say!  Have a happy 4th!

As far as our commenting problem, sorry we were a little unclear.  We know things on the Internets aren't perfect.  There are dozens of versions of dozens of browsers for several operating systems, and dozens more versions of dozens of other applications that are used by said browsers.  So, when there is a hang up or a glitch on a few web sites for our particular browser version, OS, and other apps, so be it.  We seriously didn't want anyone to change settings, which is why we didn't mention any names.  Like we said in the last post, we know some have already changed their settings to hopefully help others who couldn't leave comments.  We've been trying to figure out exactly what it is that is causing the hang ups, and we could really only narrow it down to some sites that have many links on their pages (which the Lounge Cats also mentioned in our comments).  Basically, what it seems to be doing is trying to access each and every link before it will allow the comment box to populate - otherwise it's just blank (and on bad days/nights, it seems to timeout and will never populate).  But again, if it's not this issue for us, it'll be another issue for someone else.  Such is the world of Internet apps!  We probably shouldn't have brought this up at all since we weren't really looking for anyone to do anything - we were just feeling a little guilty about not being able to comment on some blogs after not checking blogs for a few days. 

OK, now, off to nap!

I just canNOT keep my eyes open!  I think I'll sleep the day away.  My mom says it's too hot to sleep like this.  I disagree.

P.S. We are having trouble commenting on a few blogs. They're all the Blogger-type blogs, and they all have the comment windows that pop out. Not every blog with a pop out comment box gives us fits, but several give us a problem most days, and sometimes we're not able to leave a comment at all. It seems to be most common with blogs that have something on the side panels that takes a long time to load. It's almost like Blogger/Google won't let the pop out box populate until something else loads on the page. ANYWAY... we're certainly not asking anyone to change their blog settings. We know some people have problems commenting on blogs that DON'T pop out. We just wanted to let you know that we were having some issues so you would understand why we haven't commented.

It's Friday!  What a week!  Our mom abandoned us again.  We thought she said she was going to New York to see some Dolls, but she went to Kansas City to see another rock concert.  (New York Dolls with Motley Crue, silly girls.)  But, she wasn't gone too long, so it's all good!  And Fuzzy and I have been playing zoomies in the middle of the night.  That girl has got SPUNK!  She cleared off the entire nightstand!  We're pretty sure our mom likes being woken up at 3:30 a.m. to see us play.  This weekend, we're going to catch up on our friends' blogs, play a lot, sleep a lot, and eat jerky a lot!  We hope you all have a super weekend!!!!   Fuzzy and Zoe love you!
 

but do you gots any jerkey?

Our mom says she is being drained by negativity!  She says that negative people and negative thoughts take up too much energy.  She said that everywhere she looks, there is more negative than positive.  We think that if she stays off Facebook she'll miss seeing a LOT of negative things and people, but she's not very bright.  Anyway, we're going to try to do our part to be more positive!  We can't promise we'll ALWAYS be positive, but we'll make an effort to have our positive posts outnumber our negative posts by 10 to 1!  We'll see how that goes...  Take it away, Zoe!


Have a super positive week, friends!  Remember, Fuzzy and Zoe Love You!

It's hot.  The End.

Hi, Friends!  We had a storm roll through yesterday, and the temperatures dropped down to below 70 degrees!  I took advantage of that cool spell to burn off some energy that I've been saving up while we've had the hots.  It sure felt good to tear around the place for a while.  Even Fuzzy joined in!  The hots will be back tomorrow, so you have to take advantage of the good times when you can! 

Where do I like to hang out?

Who is my kitty crush?
I'm only FIVE!  I'm too young to have a kitty crush!  Plus, boys are mean!  But, I do think that Scouty over at the Katnip Lounge is handsome!

What is my favorite scent?

What is my favorite tv show?

What is my favorite movie?
 I could not take my eyes off the tv when my mom was watching "The Birdman of Alcatraz"!

What is my favorite bit of feline wisdom?

Who I choose to play Meow Meow Me Me
Thank you, King Punapippuri for picking us - this was fun!  Now, y'all have an Easy Sunday, ok??
