Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty...

Gracie, pictured above, has gone missing?

I need to take the bullet on this one. You see, last weekend I came across another, yes another, pile of cat puke in the basement and I saw red, so I chased her outside and she's yet to return.

Honestly, I'm OK with it. However, Emilie is NOT and I full understand and that is what bothers me most.

So, if in your travels you happen to come across this feline, please let me know - NO substitues please.

Catnip Fix

Here's Gracie cat (closest feline) and Lila cat enjoying the awesome day and some of our fresh picked garden catnip. And boy do they LUV it! They eat it and roll all over it and become happy cats. I tried some too but it didn't have the same effect on me, alas...

Snow (covered) Cat

I don't care what you say, Emilie enjoyed this!

I think Gracie (the cat) did too...

Gracie The Snow Cat? Nope!

Gracie the cat does NOT like the snow but then again what cat would. However, that didn't stop Emilie from taking her outside and playing with her in the snow, hehehe. After all, the cat needs fresh air and exercise too. She's become quite the fatty...

Here's Emmie carrying her around. To give you an idea of just how deep the snow is, that dark object just in from of the cat whisperer is the retaining wall that runs on one side of our pool. The top of this wall is approx 3 feet high, so we're taking some deep snow. The pool is just behind Miss Emilie "Bindi Irwin" Frye.




If animals could only talk. Wonder what she's trying to say...

Gracie Under the Knife

Here's Gracie sporting her new look - the just fixed and declawed look. One week ago today was her big day and she did just fine. She is still on the mend and almost back to her old self. What do you think of her fancy Dolce and Gabbana neckwear? She needs to wear this to prevent her from getting at and messing with her incision.

Growing up I don't recall any of our puddy cats having to sport such a thing following their procedures. As a matter of fact, back in the day our felines had to walk to the vet to have their procedures performed and then back home afterwards. This was always an uphill walk both ways and usually in the snow. Cats these days, geesh!

Anyway, I digress. If we can just get her to stop pooping on the floor (right in front of her liter box), which is something new she just started following her procedures. Maybe she's trying to tell us that she didn't enjoy the process and misses her front claws? Perhaps, another surgery is in order to address this problem - capesch...
