POSH

"Somehow" this happened while Mom and David were at the library yesterday. (This is in the laundry/cat room.)









This will give you a comparison of Tabi's daintiness to the boys.

Dear Pa,
It's about ME!
Love,
Tort



Here I am planning the Great Escape with Heir Zebra.









This is what happens while Pa is at work.










This is my new nemesis. People care that she's better so that I won't get sick. It's really all about me. You can see that she has an evil plot against me, can't you?

Tabi is doing much better today. She wasn't sneezing at all until I had to give her orange flavored medicine (at least is smells orange flavored). She sneezed some after the wrestling match with the medicine dropper. Her eyes are completely normal, too.

Why in the world isn't cat medicine fish flavored or something?

It was cold today, so Tort loafed on the couch. (as if he needs an excuse)

Day 2 of life with Tabitha laDiva - she was sick. We got a prescription from the vet & kept her and Tort apart so that he wouldn't get it. She was sneezing, had watery eyes, and slept a lot - even for a cat.



Day 3 with Tabi - The medicine seems to be working as she appears to be feeling much better. Her eyes are not watery today and she's a lot more active... and she wants out of the bathroom! She's still congested, though, so she & Tort are still being kept apart.

Tonight I put Tort in the bedroom & let her out for a bit. She was very happy to have a little more room to roam and to get some serious loving! She had about a tablespoon of milk that was left in a bedtime sippy cup.





More milk, please!

Yes, Tort, you should have been paying attention! Then you would have realized that this adorable she-kitten was coming to live with you!




Introducing Tabitha laDiva, the newest member of our family. She is a pound rescue and got Dad off easy this Valentine's Day! : )

Here she is on her first exploration of the laundry room. (my red-eye fixer doesn't work on pet-eye) We let her explore that room for a while on her own. When Tort came out for the first time they growled at each other.






Here she is looking a bit startled on top of the dryer. She's 3 mo old - that stage where her ears have outgrown her head!







She is a shoulder cat - perfectly happy sitting on Mom's shoulder! PetCo and Wal-Mart both had sorry selections of cat collars, so we ended up with this basic red one. Next time we get near a Petsmart, we'll get a more appropriate collar for her.




Here is the silly girl sitting on TOP of her kitty cube. She starts purring as soon as I walk up to her!






She also likes the blanket that Mom and Tort curl up with on the couch... Tort was eyeballing her from across the room and got "near" her while she was on the blanket. This picture makes her look pretty big, but she is pretty small. If I can ever get a picture of Tort & her together, you'll see a HUGE difference!

This is Tabi's shaved tummy and you can see the edge of her incision from her surgery. She didn't want to bear all for a photograph, but I can't blame her for that. Tort got very close to her when I rolled her over to look at her incision. Don't know if it's because she was in a submissive position or if he could sense her wound. They're not growling any more, but still haven't gotten very close to each other.

Mom brushed me a lot last night. Need I tell you how good it felt??? She kept talking about something, but I wasn't really paying attention. I wonder if something's up... Maybe I should have paid more attention, but the brush... ahhhh. And I feel so pretty today! fsssssss...

Tort here... Mom helped me crop some fat out of this picture. Do I look thinner to you?

This is my friend Fluff. He lives in our yard because I don't like getting long black fur in my food bowl. He thinks he's big stuff. I'm sure I could whoop him if I tried. (You don't have to mention to him that I said that. Please.)

I'm gonna go eat now. I'll need my strenth for the midnight yowl... I mean prowl.

There has been some grumbling (unregistered comments) about Tort's previous entry, saying that it does not reflect his true personality. Perhaps the caption should read,

I am Tort the Great; a.k.a. Super Cat. You will bow to my mighty voice; your will will bend to mine. ...in the middle of the night ...when I require attention.

Meow.
