mancat monday

we would like to let everyone know how much all of the purrs and prayers meant to us. mom is doing well. sometimes she gets a little quiet, other times she laughs really loud when she plays with us. tt is trying to decide her place now that she is the only girl kitty. yuki was always in the same room as mom. today tt stayed in the living room with mom. not in her lap but in the same room. i guess we will see what happens as time goes by. 

mom found my cow bed. she put it out for me. i climbed in and it came alive!!! it tried to eat me! mom got a photo of me trying to escape. 

don't worry. i got away and mom made the cow bed promise not to eat me again.

not so easy sunday

the old adage that "life is like a roller coaster" with its up, downs, and twisty path would best describe my life right now. our family has been dealing with a lot for quite awhile. my mother in law is 92 and refuses to admit she has any health problems that would require her to move in with us or an assisted living home.  my parents are also up in years. although my mom seems to be doing well, my dad is not. he was exposed to agent orange and has medical problems galore. in the last month he has been to the emergency room twice and admitted to the hospital both times. my husband and i are both "only children". so this has really put our normal schedules into over drive.

as i type this post, yuki is on my desk with my arms encircling her. she is giving up her long fight against bad kidneys. she has been giving us hints this past week that she was almost ready for her trip across the bridge. yesterday i knew it would be in the next day or two. she hardly ate, she was having problems with balance, and she wanted to sleep next to kintaro. kintaro was a gentleman and let her have all of his favorite blanket she wanted. it was bittersweet as i knew in my heart what was coming.

my heart is breaking as i spend this time with her. please say a prayer for my old girl. i would like her trip over the bridge to be one she can look forward to. all of my kittys that came before waiting for her on the other side. especially cheebie, yuki loved him, he was her protector.

yuki, i will have a bag of fishy flakes in my pocket just for you when we meet at the bridge.

penny is missing!

 penny is the black and brown woofie.

penny, our woofie, is missing. she was here this morning but she ranned away before mom got home from work today. brownie and big boy stayed home so mom and dad think penny figured out how to jump the fence. mom, dad, and the gerl went looking for her. they called and whistled but penny never answered. the gerl is very sad tonight. mom and dad are worried penny can't find her way home. mom is gonna call local animal control and the SPCA in case. she is gonna make posters and take them to the local animal doctors too. mom posted to one of the local animal groups on her facebook. please pray for penny to get home safe. even if we don't like the woofies so much we don't like our beans being so upset even more.

PENNY CAME HOME!!!!!!

mom got up early cuz she had penny on her mind. she was sitting at the computer looking at the kitties and heard big boy barking. she peeped out the window and saw penny on the sidewalk by our front steps. she was going to the fence where big boy was. mom almost broke the door down to get it open. mom called for penny and she came running up the steps to her. mom said she did something she has never done before - she lay down like she was humbling herself to mom. she thought she was gonna be in troubles. mom had to drag her into the house (never had to do that either) and gave her lots of hugs and pets. penny still thinks she is gonna get in big trouble but mom is a (old) softie.

*sigh* i guess we is back to normal now.

we are supporting the blackout

we got this info directly from iblog 

SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act. The Act itself allows 
copyright holders to challenge the use of their content in any form on 
the internet. But recently it has caused quite a stir in the Internet 
community with the web censorship bills.

Thousands of people, including tech giants such as Facebook and Google, have opposed the web censorship bill, saying it would effectively censor the web and place unfair demands on content providers. A few infringing links would be enough to block a site completely.

Sites like GoDaddy has already burnt their fingers by supporting SOPA. The internet community strongly reacted against GoDaddy on their decision to support SOPA. Due tho this several GoDaddy customers started migrating their domains and hosting services to another hosting company.

A number of websites including Wikipedia, Firefox, Reddit and others are planning to blackout their websites on Jan 18th, 2012, to protest the web censorship bills. So if you are too thinking to join the movement and protest again SOPA/PIPA, you can show your support by adding any of these plugins to your blog.

If you don’t want a complete blackout on your website, you can show your support by adding a black ribbon, to your site template. Blogger and WordPress users can add a black ribbon to their blogs with the following code.

we can't believe our eyes!

we told you that mom won the daily kibble contest for $100 worth of wellness kibble for us and $500 for blind cat rescue. daily kibble did an interview with mom and it is posted here. imagine our surprise when we see mom in a picture with our woofies! how could she????? it is suppose to be a photo of us! not those stinky woofies!

*sigh* at least a lot of krunchies are going to feed those cute blind kitties.

good mews!

yuki is back to her normal! she still has kidney disease but she acts like she did before the mini stroke. i would like to thank everyone for their prayers and good vibes!


WE WON! we entered a contest on the daily kibble to win $100 of Wellness pet food. we also nominated Blind Cat Rescue to win $500 worth of Wellness pet food. the people at daily kibble are going to do a follow up on the winners of the contest. mom got interviewed by them. she told them about each of us kitties and about our woofies.

trouble tonight

i am pretty sure yuki had a small stroke tonight. she started having trouble walking (more than normal) and had the "deer in the headlight" look. she finally got back to her normal after about 15 minutes or so. we are keeping on eye on her to see if it happens again. when kimiko had a stroke, she started going downhill after a day or so and left for the bridge shortly thereafter. maybe it is getting close to time for my little snow girl.
