After Kiesha died, I adopted BrieBrie and Phaedra fron Cat Angels rescue. The two kitties have had their challenges, but for the most part they are very sweet. When I adopted them, I signed a contract stating I would never let them be out door cats or have them declawed. Last night, I started watching…
Read moreAmbush’s ashes
I picked up Ambush’s ashes today: a little white box in a purple velvet bag that says “Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.” My poor little buddy. I held it together until the person at the clinic handed me the bag with Ambush’s ashes. I’ve cried almost every time I’ve seen something that…

In case you haven’t seen this. Ever wonder what cats are really thinking when they look cute?
Read moreKitty updates
Kiesha had a urinary tract infection. She has been on Clavamox (antibiotic) for a few days and is not doing well on them. She keeps throwing up. Poor kitty. She’s being switched to an injectable antibiotic. Hopefully this time it will help… Ambush and Stella both seem to be doing better. Their UTIs have passed…
Read moreWhy did Ceffyl disappear again?
Ceffyl has been stressed: Three sick cats: two have recovered from a UTI, third might have one (or she has a behavioral issue). My mare, Isis, was diagnosed with EPM (serious neurological disease) and just finished the first month of treatment. All of this started in May. If you know me, then you know this…
Read moreIllnesses invade! Run!
I have a sinus infection, Isis has EPM, and Ambush and Stella have urinary tract infections (UTIs). Recovery is on its way through… The day after Isis came home from the hospital, Ambush had a sugar crash. He was unaware of anyone or anything that happened to him. A trip to the vet, some good…
Read moreMean Kitty Song!
If you havne’t seen this YouTube video, it’s hysterical. Watch the antics of a mean kitty while his human sings about how mean the kitty Sparta is (not really mean, just wants attention). Very cute. Stella play-bites when she is very excited. She has never broken skin but she will nip. She loves to rough-house…

Read moreTrouble in apartmentland
At about 9:00 this morning, I woke up and saw water pouring down next to the bedroom window. I thought it was caused by a strange rain storm, so I went back to bed. I woke up this morning to the sound of a police officer pounding on my door. I scrambled up, grabbed my…
Read moreCatching up
A lot has happened in the past few weeks. I’ll write some posts to catch up. Here’s the brief list: New horse: Kasane is the primary reason why I have not been posting much on here. I’ll write a long post about here with pictures. Stella: She has been fighting a urinary tract infection and…
Read moreCat vs Printer: Cat wins!
A friend of mine sent me a link to this cute video of a calico cat attacking a printer (and winning). The cat’s eyes are hugely dilated. How cute!
Read moreStella has a UTI
Stella had blood in her urine this morning. She was straining every few minutes and was not comfortable. Poor kitty. I had no idea what was wrong. I’ve never seen a cat with a UTI with so much blood in her urine. Stella stayed at the vet’s today. I got a call this afternoont: the…
Read moreIs my kitty trying to kill me?
Cute quiz I found on one of my friend’s LJ pages. I wonder if it will be Ambush, Stella, or Kiesha who might try to do me in? Probably Stella. No one would expect Stella…
Read moreStella and the bed, part 2
It was late when I went to bed on Sunday night. I’d had a nice evening playing Guild Wars with a friend. Stella had been curled up by my monitor for most of the evening. I crawled into bed, pulled up the covers, and smelled cat urine. Stella had peed on the covers again. (I…
Read moreNoises in the wall
I’m getting ready for bed and I can hear something crawling in the ceiling. Not loud, but scurrying. Knocking against the light fixture in the bathroom last night. Tonight it’s in my kitchen wall. Scratch, scurry, scratch: some small rodent or critter maybe stuck or exploring. My cats are enthralled: they follow the sound from…
