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?

Cutie pie Misaki for adoption

This is our kitty Pipsqueaks littermate, and just like Pippy Whips, Misaki has had a slew of health issues. When he was a baby, he had coccidia and had really bad diarrhea, we thought it was because he was straining so hard, but he actually ended up with a rectal prolapse...or so we thought....when we opened him up it ended up being an Ileal/Cecal/Colonic Intussuseption...so part of his intestines were actually poking out his bum. Poor kitty! We did surgery on him in October and he hasn't had any problems with it since. Has gained weight and is generally a happy boy. He also has hip dysplasia, and patellar luxation BOTH rare in cats, but probably because he's inbred. His brother had PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosis) which is a heart condition. Misaki, will have to be on meds for the rest of his life to control pain in his joints, as well as may possibly need surgery....so his options for finding a home are bleak...we've had him since he was 8 weeks old (he's now 9 months old) and he is a beautiful handsome sweet blue point siamese. He is one of about 30 cats/kittens we have right now for adoption with the majority of them STILL being siamese.

He prefers attention when he is out and about, this was taken today of him getting loves. He gives 'gentle' hugs. As soon as you open up his cage he 'jumps' on you and wraps his paws around your neck, he hardly ever uses his claws.

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'.

Munchie Roodles

Munchie is 'appropriately' named, he is a mega food HOUND! He can sense canned food from anywhere in the house. He comes running. He INSISTS that he gets canned food each day, he does his 'baby bird' impression VERY well, where he basically sits and stares at the empty bowl, then up and me screaming as loud as he can for his food. Needless to say he needs to lose a little weight...he's 14#! He's my big guy :) Anyways he sits on the chair in the kitchen while I prepare their canned food....notice as he 'inches' closer....LOL

A Mamma's pride n Joy!

Mini Dee is our little 'special' baby. Her mom came from an animal shelter and had distemper when she was pregnant. So Mini Dee has something called "Cerebral Hypoplasia" or www.chkittyclub.com , she had 4 brothers and sisters and only 1 other kitty got it, Victoria (Tori) who was returned for adoption at 1 year old, and still needs a home now.... Anyways it just makes her a little unstable on her feet. Her brothers weren't letting her eat, so she was a tiny squirt of a thing so Rob told me to bring her home and we'd fatten her up, well...let's just say the rest is history. Anyways on to 'A Mama's Pride N Joy. Mini Dee is not a 'agile' as other cats, and it takes her quite some time to learn how to do things that come easy for normal cats. The first time she jumped on the bed, the first time she climbed on my lunch bag, the first time she jumped on the couch were HUGE Events!

Well she's been staying at the clinic till we got our Pet Deposit taken care of, and we brought her home this week FINALLY! I was concerned with how she'd do with stairs as she's never been around them. She sat at the top of our stairs and contemplated how she was going to approach them for quite a while before finally giving it a go. She took it slowly and did it step by step, and only slipped on 1 of the stairs. I was so proud and happy for her I was crying. She literally BEAMS when she accomplishes something. She will be 3 years old this year. As for her name, if you've seen or met DeeJay Mini Dee is a spitting image of her, only more slender, and has a lot of the same quarks as DeeJay, so Rob named her Mini Dee.
Look at how tiny she was!
My cute baby girl!
She LOVES to jump and climb on top of my lunch bag, this day the little velcro flap at the top fell through and she fell inside, she stayed there for hours :)

Zoey & Sebastian

Zoey is 'terrified' that Sebastian is going to steal her bones. So instead of enjoying them she sits and 'guards' them for like 30-45 minutes before she will actually eat them. She is so intense about it too LOL! The Schnauzer is "Viggo" our Doggie Daycare "Supervisor" he loves his bones too! The cat is Alvin an office cat who was discarded by his owners after he was no longer perfect (needed his toes amputated due to an infection). He is an AWESOME cat!
