Whappin'

Mo here with our "almost" the weekend report.

Mom wants me to tell you about the whappin incident. :) See, she keeps bringing the kid over here. Something about cute kittens. Whatever. (the kid is the one in the picture yesterday - she is mom's niece, 8 years old and staying with grandma and grandpa for the summer)

So, on Monday she came over. She was hassling playing with Doc on the second level of the cat tree and I was up here on top surveying my the territory. Mom was sitting next to the tree on the coffee table. I cracked an eye and very carefully reached over the cat tree and....WHAPPED the kid on the HEAD!!! It was AWESOME! And... I didn't even get in trouble (in fact, mom was heard snickering). I managed to get in a couple more good whaps before leaving for a new spot. (mom: I hate to say this, but it was pretty funny. the look on Mo's face was priceless - he knew he got her)

For those of you who follow Chrystal on Daily Dose of Dogs you know her mom had a heart attack. Mom sent her a text yesterday just to check in. Mom figured it might be the best way to catch Miss Chrystal since we aren't sure how much computer time she is getting right now. She said "things aren't great but they could be worse". Miss Chrystal is staying at her mom's house and we know they could all use all the purrs and woofs we can send. If you want to leave her a message here, we will gather them together and send them to her.

Oh - and mom talked to the head rescue lady about the lame baby cat. She first sighed deeply (probably thinking about the bill) and then said she will contact another animal hospital that helps the rescue that has an orthopedic vet on staff. She did say that she agrees he is too small to do something now, so he may end up being with us for a while. :)

Finally Friday.....

Mom picked up Grandma last night - she was about 5 years old. She was lactating - so she most likely was the mom of Annie and Wild Bill, but rather than freak her out more, mom just let her go. One more baby factory closed....the tech said it looked like she has had several litter over her life and her ear tips had been lost to frostbite (mom thought she might have been spayed looking at her ears). We are glad Bug's family is committed to teh TNR - for that, bottle babies can be taken care of.....  :)

And don't forget to visit Tucker & Finn to help them support Back in Black 2 along with Best Friends!!

Hey - the man in the blue shorts stopped at our house the other day!!!

We "borrowed" mom's magic card and ordered some books for...her - yeah, that's right. :)  Miss Chrystal over at daily dose of dogs wrote a book - and of COURSE we had to get that. You can get your copy by going to xlibris.com. We can't wait.....  And then we also got Cat Daddy and a Cheezeburger book.  We know what mom is doing this weekend......

Of course, Tommy had to inspect the box to make sure everything was OK. Too bad it isn't big enough to climb in and take a snooze.

And, we can't leave you without some cute for the weekend....
