Caturday: Spitty Kitty

Leigh — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 22:02:11 +0000

The cat formerly know as Gemini. Since the puppies moved in, she is now spitty or spitty kitty.

I didn’t realise cats could actually spit, like they do in the cartoon. Wow…she is good at it! Only at the dogs, and it isn’t very often anymore. They get the message real quick.

Finally have a picture to join rah and her Caturday thing

Borked tail..sia-manx?

large ceramic bowl+cat tail= ouch

Poor Gemini. The kids were feeding the cats on Sunday night, the bowl fell off the bench and onto her tail.

Thankfully our vet was open yesterday. Poor baby has a huge gash in her tail which needed a few stitches, and we’ll just have to wait and see about the other damage…she may end up losing half of her tail.

She was running around crazy purring and rubbing herself on everyone and thing yesterday till the local wore off, then she was pretty miserable and in a lot of pain. She is a lot happier today, and amazingly hasn’t pulled her stitches out yet, tho not for lack of trying.

Fingers crossed the tails heals up enough for her to keep it.

Noiceities-Kitteh Snuggles and twat rugs

For ease of use, Noice-ities is now freestyle. So each week I am going to share something noice, and something not noice from my week.

Noice…
Working from home today and feeling a bit flat, nothing beats kitteh snuggles. Kittehs must be cold, and I bet they aren’t really enjoying being home a lone a lot these days. So have had both the chocolate babies fighting over who gets to sit right in my face. Alex is happier to ride in the back seat.

And now for the Not Noice…and well, just plain creepy!

We were out rug shopping on the weekend and spotted this, and all I could think of was THESE cupcakes.

The whispering eye rug…who in their right mind would buy that?? (click to bigify)

No..we didn’t

We did get a bargain tho, the rug we got was originally $899 and we got it for $220..woo!

Happy Caturday!

Guess there will be no washing going on here today. Yes, my bath is actually the dirty clothes basket at the end of a busy week. If your bath was that colour, would would want to cover it too!

Long weekends, perfect for napping.

All ears

Gemini went in for desexing last Friday.

(excuse the crappy iPhone pics)

We had planned to breed with her (registered of course) but with losing Stasia, and me starting a new job we decided now wasn’t the best time. I had also been putting it off a little, Alex does NOT cope well with anyone going to the vet and coming home smelling weird. So had to wait till I had a few days at home to keep an eye on her, and to calm him down.
She wasn’t keen on the car trip, my ears were ringing for the rest of the day after the screaming the whole trip.

Dropped her off, signed the forms…made sure to tell them DO NOT TATTOO her. And went home to await the call that she was OK to pick up.

Manpet picked her up on his way home from work. She was quite alert, so we let her straight out of the bag.

And then I saw it..and my heart sank. They had tattooed her.

Yes, it is just an ear…but of course I am superficial and shallow..why else would I spend $450+ on bloody cats.

(I’m not sure what the regulations are with ear tattooing, I tried searching but didn’t find anything. Does anyone know?)

After having my little flip out tantrum, which was not at all helped by manpet saying “there’s not much you can do about it now” I thought maybe I can try and wipe some of the ink out…and it won’t be so dark. So armed with some makeup wipes I went and gently cleaned out her ear.

I was a little surprised with the result, didn’t take much and 99% of the ink had come out. Either the person doing the tattooing sucked, or they realised last minute that they shouldn’t be. What ever..I don’t care. I am just SO relieved I don’t have to look at a dirty great big ugly tattoo in her ear.

She has bounced back fine, and decided to remove her stitches the first say she was left alone on Monday. Thankfully the incision had already fully closed. Amazing how quick they heal, a woman takes a good 6 weeks to heal from a desexing LOL
