Random Fridays....

Our grandma is doing much better and we hope that she will be heading home today. The first couple of days were the worst, but she is up and walking around more and that will help. Plan at this point is home Saturday. She can get up but still needs to work on walking the halls.

Do you guys know Romeo the Cat? We are featured today on his website as a multi-cat family!!

Cod help us - the v-e-t showed up here for Halloween. We was TRICKED!!!! (and got no treats) Ivy, Tim and Tom were due for vaccines and mom has Maestro get the "old man" check every 6 months. Maestro was good - he even gained about 1/2 pound since this spring. YEAH!! Tim has lost about a pound...and need his teeth cleaned pretty bad. Mom had the v-e-t draw some blood and will make an appointment with a local clinic to get the teeth cleaning appointment (our vet is mobile and doesn't do surgery). Tommy gained about 1/2 pound and is doing well.  And then there was the princess.....man was she crabby. There was some screaming and bad werds (from Ivy, not the v-e-t). And - she has gained about a pound since last year. Which puts her at about 12 pounds. Ugh..... so mom is gonna have to do some figuring as to how to make sure Mo and Maestro get enough to eat and Ivy can't eat EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!

 Alley Cat Allies posted an update on their facebook page about the status of the feral cat colonies at the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
Photo: UPDATE ON BOARDWALK CATS: More great news! Boardwalk cats in Atlantic City are showing up at each of their colonies, including this hungry trio at the Taj Mahal. It’s a bit of a mess there, our program manager reports--the area under the Boardwalk is completely flooded, and the shelters were washed out onto the beach—but the cats we’ve seen seem healthy. Our disaster recovery team is arriving in Atlantic City early this afternoon to conduct a full assessment and help with clean-up, recovery and direct care. If you live in or near Atlantic City and want to assist our efforts, please contact us at info@alleycat.org or 240-482-1980, ext. 330. Stay tuned for more photos and updates! (picture courtesy of Alley Cat Allies)

Bourbon was a lot of help with the v-e-t. He moved her stuff, tried to chew on her stethascope and walked over her computer keyboard to reset a couple of things. He finally got thrown in baby jail with the kittens (cause Ivy was in the bathroom) and....he can get out. It took him about 10 minutes to figure it out, but once he did mom knew she was in trouble. The nice part is that Dr T was pretty charmed by the boy. She isn't in the market right now as she has a REALLY old cat, but maybe someday (and mom said "if you know anyone").....  :)

  4. We're very glad your grandma is improving!

    We think a mobile vet is a great idea, wish we had the option in our area, at least for routine things. The whole PTU/taxi thing just makes the ordeal that much worse!

  8. That is great that Grandma is doing so well. Good news.
    Sounds like the kitties are all doing pretty good. Bourbon, good job getting to know the vet. That would be such a good home for you.
    Hope all have a good week end.

    The vet came by for Halloween? We hope you sent him packing with a trick. Maybe some pee in his little black bag?

  11. Mommy has been toying with the thought of getting a vet to come to the house. She has the ridiculous fear of the PTUs breaking under our weight and then having us escape...Well, not too ridiculous a fear as that was precisely what happened with Meow-Me on the day she being taken in for her spay....
    We think your vet needs an assistant. :D

  12. At least the vet came to YOU instead of the other way around. I hate those trips to the clinic.

    Paws up for your grandmother! Glad to hear she is getting better.

  20. Good to hear Grandma is doing better.

    Yuck, v e t in your own home, that's downright scary. We don't blame Ivy, we would have used bad werds too!

    That's a boy Bourbon, you'll find a forever home soon with all that charm.
