Tobey's new friend

Tobey would like for us to do more laundry. So he can spend more time on the dryer, but he has made friends with the heater vent. This is a warm weather cat that's for sure. Maybe the air duct carry the residual scent of Kayla, Miss Texas and Viva. Bill and Kitty clean regularly but cats do have an incredible sense of smell.

Trying to get back to normal w/out Vive

It's been almost 2 moths since Vive passed. The remaining critters don't really know what to do. Tobey stands around and looks at Bill and Kitty then begs for food. Badtz chased her tail until she got the news that Tim Lincecum won the Cy Young two years in a row! She wouldn't get off the kitchen table until Bill put the paper in the recycle bin.

We Miss You Vive

Bill and Kitty have some very sad news to share. Their dear girl, Vive, Viva, Vivace, Vivienne, passed away last week. She had been bloated on and off for the last month (or so). It is hard to pin point when she first started feeling bad. The last few days Vive didn't eat with the relish that she had in the past.

It's difficult to know when your critter is feeling ill.They never complain. They only want to please their human. It's especially sad because she was so young. The Happy House will be sad for quite some time.

Kitty's favorite

This is Kitty's favorite picture of the two cat critters. They're behaving themselves and it shows off Badtz's serious brow. Tobey is resplendent in his stripes!

This weekend the cats and Vive will enjoy the continuing saga of Battlestar Galactica from Netflix. They often wonder where the pets are in the show. "Don't they have pets in space?" they'll ask. Bill will then have to put Aliens on the DVD player as Jonesy was a pet in space and an Orange-boy to boot!

Back!

Poor Badtz was sick for 2 weeks before the 4th of July. She had a bad could where she had a hard time with her breathing. The Vet said Upper Respiratory Infection. So, poor little kitty had to be given Amoxicillyn. Bill and Kitty made sure she drank lots of water and cleaned her eyes and nose of little kitty snot.

We are happy to say, she made a full recovery!

On the dryer...

Does Tobey have a wondering eye? Is one eye cock-eyed? He is just so handsome, who cares!

Ball and Badtz

Badtz has been taking puppy lessons. That has to be the reason behind all this tail chasing, ball playing, etc. She has also taken voice lessons from a pigeon. She coos at night and mixes it with her usual Badtz mutterings.

Tobey is feeling better

Tobey was sick for the last couple weeks. Vomitting, and then no appetite. When Kitty took him to the Veterinarian . He acted like an normal cat with an appetite. They came home with some laxative and a suggestion to take some Pepcide for a possible acid stomach.

After careful feeding and loving encouragement, Tobey is feeling well enough to sit with Badtz in their most favorite place in the Happy House.

Badtz becomes a puppy

This her new thing... she searches for a shadow to pounce on.

Do they ever move?

You may think that the cats spend the whole day in front of the picture window on Kitty's writing desk. Well, they do! 24/7! Especially when the sun is out. You want to know the south side of the Happy House? The cats will be lazing about there. You can bet on it.

Back on track

Yes, the sun is out and Kitty's writing desk is busy with napping cats. Good thing she doesn't need the desk but she refuses to replace the desk pad for a fleece cat bed... shheesh!

Why I have no change or how did that penny got into my shoes?

Bill sometimes puts a foot in a shoe and takes it off right away then turns it upside down. Out rolls a penny or a nickel. Before Kitty vacuums she needs to do reconnaissance due to miscellaneous coins on the floor. It was soon apparent who was responsible.

Catching up

The winter blahs have been visiting the happy house. The critters are fat and lethargic. Although Tobey has been pushing himself off the bed to get to the top of the mule chest. There are pennies up there an he needs to pinch them. The Vivester has been walked out in the rain twice a day and on weekends is treated to fetch or flying disc action. Badtz has resisted harassing the Bendable People. Kitty thinks she is maturing into full adulthood. She is turning 4 years old this July!

Other than the above, it's been a quiet February.

Upside down again

What is it with Badtz? She loves looking at Bill and Kitty upside down. Guess it makes for a more interesting day, especially a lazy Sunday like today. You will find Tobey on the dryer. What a surprise!

Tobey and Badtz

You're all wondering how the catz are doing in the new year. Well, they've been fighting over a cardboard box. Badtz seems to win the battle but Bill and Kitty find Tobey in the box once in a while.

Here the two paw-pals take a break from their battle-royale.
