Kitties and Zoey

Cedes is one of the cats that I have bottle raised (she's 5 years old now), she is attached at my hip pretty much.  She is always in my lap or following me around.

 Mini Dee (monkey see, monkey do)

 Zoey, guarding a bone so the cats or Ruby can't have it (note she doesn't even chew on bones all that much.  LOL

Our Day in pictures

Can you tell they aren't allowed to sleep with us?  Ruby, Munchie, DeeJay & Mercedes all on our bed

DeeJay cleans the bowl after I made Mouse' raw food

Mini Dee sleeping in her favorite bed.

Me thinks we need another freezer.....well that and look at all that raw yummy goodness for my animals.  I have 3 cats on Raw and 1 dog, working at transitioning 2nd Dog

My cute girl Ruby.  We've only had her for a week

She doesn't feel very good in this picture, she had 6 teeth pulled yesterday

Ruby tasting some raw for the first time, this is her 1st raw meal.  I am transitioning her so she is on a completely grain/carb free diet which will help 'starve' the yeast that she's got going on, on her skin and her ears.

Ruby's first raw meal, made a mixture just like I used to for Zoey.

Lazy Days Part One

Cedes is OBSESSED with this little container, she is constantly sleeping in it

You woke me for a camera flash?  Seriously MOM!

Sunbathing in the window

DeeJay sunbathing

DeeJay found a fun toy.....Shellies tail...

Yummy Popsicle!

Kitty Cuties

Munchie & DeeJay on a chair (which is huge as DeeJay normally only snuggles with Mini Dee without grumping)

Mercedes stealing my pen

Tigger & Mercedes (Tigger is almost 6 months old) *Notice Cedes sock

Our little Beggars

Beggars

We are eating hot dogs they are watching Dad intently

Sunday Sweeties....

Mercedes snuggling next to me on the recliner chair. She's so sweet.

DeeJay would not come out of Georgies kennel, she stayed right in there for like 1/2 an hour

The Doorbell rang, Munchie ran into the pantry, and hid on the shelf, he even knocked some stuff off the shelf to get here.

My cutest boys...

Munchie was sleeping in the basket, and Pip decided to use it as a pillow.

Munchie Being Lazy on the rocking chair

Munchie assumes the position for food.....at least he thinks so

Pipsqueak has a new idol I think...he's been copying Munchie a lot lately (Munchie on the left, Pipsqueak on the right, DeeJay on the table)

Sickly babies....

First off....it looks like Misaki is going to be joining our family. He's keeping his brother Pipsqueak out of trouble, and entertained....YEAH my other cats are SO relieved:


DeeJay has been excessively grumpy lately, normally she is grumpy when she needs her anal glands expressed but something else was going on. She had a lump by her chin so I took her to work with me yesterday, it's an infection, since DeeJay is a pill to medicate she got a shot of long acting (5 day) penicillin. Then my dad checked her bladder (she has Interstitial Cystitis) and it was fine but he noticed he was full of crap...literally, so DeeJay is constipated which is why she's probably being grumpy....so we attempted to give her some laxatone....YAH that was a nightmare...picking up some pumpkin and mineral oil tomorrow.

Then Munchie Roodles did something to his eye last night he couldn't hardly open it, and he is breathing 'raspyish', well his eye has a small scratch on it (probably from wrestling with Misaki), and his breathing is raspy (loud) but not in his lungs but his throat, he's had it for a long time, he thinks that he has a developmental issue with his trachea, so we are going to watch him, if it causes problems for him we will check into it further. He may have collapsing trachea as occassionally he will lower his head to the ground (flat) and cough for a few seconds, sometimes I have to rub his throat to get him to stop. You can kind of see his eye in the left in the picture below, Mini Dee is on the side of him, that's her latest accomplishment....sitting on the back of the couch...yesterday she had us LOL'ing as she dang near jumped over the ENTIRE couch from the floor...YES she puts THAT much umph behind her jumps....

And Munchie says Mommy's tired....time for bed:

My girls

Mini Dee smiles when she is happy, literally, see the wide stance in her legs, that helps keep her balance since she has Cerebral Hypoplasia

One of her favorite positions, she loves to get picked up by Rob and perch on his shoulder, he says she will come and rub on his legs in the morning till he picks her up for some lovings.


DeeJay and Mini Dee Snuggling in the small basket:

As they get closer, Mini was actually cleaning the inside of DeeJay's ears:

I love this one, each one has their legs sticking out

Who needs cat beds?

When you have baskets? Rob's mom got our cats addicted to baskets...
Pipsqueak aka Pippy Whips

Mini Dee & Pipsqueak

Munchie in a 'small' basket

Munchie...holding Pip down so pip doesn't bite him. Munchie is one of our cats that doesn't take ANY crap from Pipsqueak, he gives him a piece of his own medicine...can you tell they are 1/2 brothers? (Same dad) Munchie really looks HUGE compared to Pip who weighs 8#

DeeJay & Mini Dee (bottom), can you see why Mini Dee is a Mini DeeJay?

My little beggars....

Pipsqueak (siamese) and DeeJay (chartreaux) are my string cheese HOUNDS. They can hear you open one up from anywhere in the house EVEN if you open it very very slowly and don't make any noise hardly. They are on it like flies on honey :) I got a couple cute shots of my beggars. Note...they hadn't even had any yet, DeeJay was just hungry. If she doesn't get what she wants she will start 'smacking' you with her paws, then will use her paw to 'pull' your hand to her. Little STINKER! She also smacks your icecream with her paw then licks her paw off. Then one of Mini Dee (smaller blue kitty), DeeJay and Pipsqueak snuggled on their thermal bed on the couch....which is a rare moment as Pipsqueak being only 9 months old is still very much a kitten, and he hasn't figured out how to 'play nice' with Mini Dee so he end sup trampling her a lot and making her fall over, so she hisses at him, and he's not really her 'favorite'.
