Vets

Mieszky was throwing up and I had to take him to our vet.

He is so calm at the vets , he listens to me, and when I tell him "it's ok " he puts his head on my hand and purrs. 

If this was Hime or Walter , they would be mewing .

Thor, he'd probably be wining and trying to shake the cage open with his huge paws.

Paz, he'd growl and try to bite during the examination....

Mieszk, he is just so intelligent. I get comments from the other people in the waiting room about how calm and sweet he is, he sticks his paws out on my lap from his cage and purring.

He had to get a nasty injection and he had to be separated from everyone. He wasn't allowed to eat for a day and only teaspoonful every two hours after. 

He slept with us even though he was weak. 

I was very worried but he stopped throwing up and I put him back with everyone.
He wolfed his food down , he was hungry!

Of course Thor was so happy to see him and nap with him! 

Everyone loves Mieszk!!! 

         found these great pics from March, 18,2016!

We got the laser toy out!

Cooklins is straight on the ball, she is so fast!!!

Zum joins in it loooks so fun!

Where is the red dot????

It's over here, Cookie!!!

Seee!!!

Cooklins is a very good catcher. 

Good thing it wasn't a bird or a frog, her usual favorites!!! 

Zumzum's Possé

Even when it's a tantrum over "I don't want to put on that cardigan",

It still worries (some) of the gang.

There is a THUD from the cat tree, and Walter wakes up from his snooze spot and comes to console Zum.
"Prrrrhhh, prrrhhh, are you ok, Zumzum?"

New addition...Thor.
He doesn't do much but he comes to sit near Zum when she is crying.

Of course there is a "Rrrraughhh! " and Hime is very concerned. 

I tell Hime, "it's ok, Zum just doesn't want to put on the cardigan, she's not hurt." 

But Hime gives Zum huggies on Zum's tear streaked cheeks.
 Hime's cheeks are wet from that but she wants to make Zum feel better.

My ways are quiet but I DO care too!

The other day, Zum was crying in the other room.  

Thor came to where I was sitting, and stretched his paw onto my lap to tap me, and get my attention. I've never seen him do that. He wanted to tell me that she is crying.

"Now I can enjoy my plantpot dish in peace."

He is quiet and subtle, but he cares too.  

It's good when everyone is happy... if someone is sad we all try to make them better....
Even if you are a cat.

Cats aren't (always) selfish!!

Miss Tiny VS Mighty Thor

"Didn't I tell you to stay out of my way??? "

"Hey!!! Get out of my way, I'm telling you! Rahhhh!"

"Please don't hit me!"

This was taken right after Hime's 10th birthday.

Thor is minding his own business, walking on the lawn.
Then Hime goes and lounges at Thor, 

Saying "Hey! I'm still on to you!!"

Look at Thor's ears!!! That guy's scared!!!

It doesn't matter if Hime is half the size of him , or that he's youngest and she's the oldest! 

It's about who has the GUTS!

Hime Wins!
She truly is the Alpha (fe)male  in this house.

Strange, cat dynamics.
Paz needs some of HIME GUTS!

The Decade of Hime!

Hime and Zum are best friends too!

Today was Hime's 10th birthday!

"I have the cute podgy tummy with the POWER SPOT!"

She is just as curious , nosey, and creative.... and cute as the day I met her when she was just 3 months old.

She sniffed Thor on his nose , then whacked him on the head 5 minutes later!

"I thougt Hime was going to be nice to me for once!"

I took the pictures using a remote control and she tried to catch it!

She's tapping her tail on Zumzum's leg showing off.

Hime, she is such a special gifted girl! 

Pazzy's Vacation

When we are away, we have been sending Thor to Uncle Danny's so Pazzy would have the run of the house and outside.

After almost a day , Paz understood that his arch nemesis was gone (for now)!

We had a holiday so Paz had T free house for a week!

He's enjoying his nap time with the doors open ..

Awwww look at that great Tummy...

He's REALLY stretching...

He even let me stroke his belly!

He even took it outside!

If he kept his respectable distance and not annoy Hime, they did not annoy each other.

On the other hand, Thor seemed to be semi-enjoying being an only cat at Uncle D's. 

He'd follow Danny and Johhnny around the house and sleep on the couch.

But Danny told us after couple of days, T seems to be missing us. 

He'd be going around the house , "Meeeeoooh, Meeeeoooohh!"

Poor T! He did know our house was his home!

And so Pazzy's summer "T-Free vacation " ended and Thor came home. But Paz knows and trusts me that I keep him safe.  

Lost and Found Pazzy

Pazzy was gone for four days.

I was getting really worried that he left us or something happened to him.

I went out and called him .... and no Pazzy. 
He'd usually come out from under the bush or on top of a fence , saying, "Raaaahhhhh". 

I regretted the tough times he had because I didn't shut the door and Thor came in and attacked him. 
Yes, Thor is not 100% at fault because Paz hits everybody, but I should have been more careful to protect him. 
I thought, maybe he thought he had enough and he left. Or he always came back even though he had hard time with Thor, so maybe he was somewhere and stuck. Or locked in. Or worse.....

The fifth day, when I made up my mind to make flyers to try to find him, he came out from our front bushes saying, "rarhhhh" , just like always. 

Paz is so happy to see us when we come home!

He knew that this was his home, even though he had hardships and he has other friends in the neighbourhood. 

I was so grateful to hear his "Meeeeowww"s and "Rarhhhhh"s and to see his handsome beautiful ginger fur. 
He purred and was very happy to see me!!

He looked a bit thinner
 (the triplets he had in his tummy had slimmed down to looking 5 months pregnant ) , 
but when I gave him wet food he didn't seem that hungry. 

Come on, 
you know you want to stroke my soft tummy!

Maybe he had breakfast somewhere on the way home at one of our neighbor's house. 

 

Just like when Walter was missing for couple of days, I knew, then, 
that Pazzy was trapped or some reason couldn't get home, but wanted to come home!

I'm a bit cold from being drenched...

Do you mind if I get warm on your lap, please?

I missed this fool so much!
Yes, he hits all the other guys, but he is always there for us, and always wants to come with us when we go to the library, or post office... coming to greet us when we come back in the car.

He is back sitting at this favorite place, the front of the house on top of the garbage bins on sunny days.

He comes in from outside, and he (and his big fat body) wants to sit on my lap, for some fuss and warmth. He is ESPECIALLY keen when he's drenched from the rain.... uhhh, thanks, but no thanks?

Oooh Pazzy, you are such a character! 

And he knows, we missed him so much !
